Gladius1

Introduction

Gladius latin for sword and is part of the phrase Spiritus Gladius ...

Spiritus Gladius

Meaning "Sword of the Spirit" and used with the symbol for the Apostle Paul. The Apostle Paul has the reputation of being the Apostle to the Gentiles (non-jews). Paul ministered at Antioch, which is recorded as the first Church of the Gentiles. And, the term Christian was recorded as first used at Antioch. (Acts 11:26)

According the the Ephesians 6:10-18 the Spirits Sword (Spiritus Gladius) is the Word of God.

Denomination

My current affiliation is Lutheran (ELCA). However, my life includes having had membership in the following denminations as well: Methodist , Baptist (1st Baptist, 2nd Baptist, Central Baptist, & Independent Baptist) , and the Reformed Episcopal Church.

I have visited the Church of Christ for the A cappella experience & attended chaplain services while in the military. I have visted several other independent churches. In general, all the experiences have been spiritually enriching.

Question & Quest

Across the myriads of denominations & bible versions there must be truth somewhere. Which bible verison & which denomination is most correct? Ultimately, the individual Christian will have to discern that for himself/herself and the multitudes may turn to Wikipedia for objective, unbiased information. It is my goal to use my experiences & knowledge to contribute to the Wikipedia project. By researching the material I contribute, I will advance my own quest for Christian truths & leave behind beneficial information for whom ever reads it.
