Taking captive every thought is exclusively taught as negative thoughts, but biblically it does not say this...it says we "demolish arguments and every presumption against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive..." Hard pause, linger and make sure you see it.
The thoughts we capture, namely every thought, are contextually defined as arguments and presumptions which war against knowing God. Secondarily, every means every single one...which means each time we think a thought, we are supposed to capture it and make it obedient, one way or another, regardless if it was a seemingly godly thought or otherwise.
What are the most powerful thoughts which wage against against the knowledge of God, according to the New Testament?--presuming you already know precisely what the Scripture says and thereby are not led of the Spirit but by your preexisting interpretation or doctrines.
Jesus said the Pharisees and the likes knew the Scripture better than anyone; Jesus was tempted by Satan quoting the Bible to Him, and Paul called holding to biblical traditions witchcraft.
So, what does this have to do with All Scripture is God-breathed and useful...?
The answer lies in meditating on the difference between Every and All...therefore, I invite you to meditate on 2 Corinthians 10 and 2 Timothy 3, reading each in their entirety first, then lay them out side by side and start to compare/contrast all that can be considered thusly...drop a comment with your findings.
