Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God

2 Corinthians 10:5
casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.

The context of this is Paul addressing the Corinthians in how to fight the carnal nature. The believer still have this carnal nature which makes us walk in the flesh. However to overcome this, the instrument cannot be carnal, but must be through God. These carnal things exalts itself against the knowledge of God, leading to disobedience. We still have the ability to make choices whether we pick the moral choice or the opposite, which we know is against the knowledge of God.
