Enemies of God and God's Gospel – Elijah dealt with them and Elijah had to defend the worship of the Hebrew God over that of the Canaanite deity Baal amongst his people.

Although, Elijah had the Baal priests slain after they lost a contest with him, to see which god would answer prayers to ignite a bull offering, between Baal & Yahweh(God).

But Jesus Christ, who is the mentor of Christians also dealt with enemies. Rather, he used the word of God against or rebuked them.
