2 Corinthians 5:10
“Every thought brought into captivity to Christ”
Paul
saw himself as a soldier warring against the proud reasoning’s of man, arguments
that oppose the truth. The true character of these arguments is described in
the expression ‘against God’. It could be applied today to the reasoning of
scientists, evolutionists, philosophers and religionists who have no room for
God in their scheme of things. The Apostle was in no mood to sign a truce with
these. Rather he felt committed to bring every thought into captivity to the
obedience of Christ. All men’s teachings and speculations must be judged in the
light of the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul would not condemn human
reasoning as such, but would warn that we must not allow our intellects to be
exercised in defiance of the Lord and in disobedience to HIM
