The Siege Engine of Truth: Paul's War Against Fortified Lies — 2 Corinthians 10:3-5

For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ; — Paul's weapons aren't metaphors for trying harder — they're demolition orders against the intellectual strongholds protecting rebellion from exposure.
