Paul said to the Corinthians in 2 Corinthians 10:5 "5We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."
Is it even possible for us to "take captive every thought"? He referenced in verse 4 that the weapons he fought with were divine in nature. "4The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds."
The struggle that we all have with idle thought and daydreams, etc. makes it almost imposible to Take every thought captive. Is Paul saying this as an all inclusive absolute statement or is he speaking figuratively?
