The "Full Armor of God" is a "New Testament" concept quoted by the Apostle Paul.
Do you realize that when the apostles spoke they were quoting the "Old Testament"?
The "New Testament" didn't come along until about 2 centuries after the Apostle Paul's death.
War monger? You bet! We are all in the battle of our lives.
A spiritual battle with an adversary who only knows to kill, steal and destroy.
Hope was always there in both the New and Old Testament...
