Sword or shield... Which will you pick? And why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the shield is our Faith which wards off the fiery arrows of men's speech that try to belittle and mock and attack our faith. But in regards to literal combat like back in the day with sword shield chariots and arrows, I would rather a shield, because if anything it could be used as a weapon by the edge of it.

I might carry a short sword just in case we ran out of amo. Reason is that i don't want to be that close to who's bothering us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the absence of firearms I'd rather have a sword. Sure you can beat someone to death with a shield but it takes longer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said the Bible does say put on the full armor of God. Edited June 10, 2015 by saved_ricky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, like Bopeep, I'm the sort that ducks out of confrontation. Hmm...on second thought, I guess that's what makes easy pickin's for Satan. Tough choice.

It's much easier to get people to back down when you're holding a sword as opposed to a shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
