Understanding the spiritual warfare in the bible: the armor of god.

It is necessary to clarify where the concept of spiritual warfare is born, Jesus encounters a problem with the Pharisees: "Teacher we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not show partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?
He saw through their duplicity and said to them. Show me a denarious. Whose image and inscription are on it?
Caesar's they replied.
He said to them: "Then give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's", Luke 20:21-25
Jesus resolves with the gift of counsel: listen (perceive with attention), meditate with intuition and inspiration, decide with discernment. The gift of counsel has two characteristics is: precise and accurate. If this is correct, necessarily justice and prudence are forms of error.
Jesus affirms "I am the way, the truth and the life". The spiritual gifts are truth, way and life. The spiritual gifts are truth because they are the precise and the exact, they are way because they tend to improvement, and they tend to life. Practice the truth means to live the spiritual gifts, what is outside is error, for example the virtue and the sin.
Heresy means teaching of the error, Jesus explains, for example that the law of the talion is a heresy that takes us away from the path of mercy, the path of piety.
The spiritual warfare is the inner struggle against heresies, who follows heresies cannot inherit the kingdom of God or salvation. We need God's armor to succeed in spiritual warfare.
The apostle Paul remember to us in what consist the armor of God in the spiritual warfare:
"Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but agains the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can stinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God." Ephesians 6:11-17
