A platoon of soldiers were told to go destroy the enemy, but but they came back without accomplishing their mission. Their Commander asked them why they didn't destroy the enemy. The platoon leader said they became friends with the enemy so they couldn't see any reason to destroy their friends. The Commander told them to line up and cover their eyes while he destroyed them. The platoon leader cried out to the Commander asking why they're being destroyed. The Commander told him that anyone who becomes friends with the enemy becomes an enemy and the enemy was ordered to be destroyed. If you would have obeyed my commands to destroy the enemy that you made friends with, you would have spared your life and never have to worry about being destroyed.
Dear godspeaker:
And what if you find the enemy is in your own mind?
Do you destroy yourself to get rid of the problem?
Many people do, become self-destructive, so there is truth to this war story!
However, our greatest enemy are things like
fear of the unknown that turns to distrust and ill will
fear of change or control by outside authority that turns to abuse and oppression of others
fear of conflict and confrontation that becomes self-defeating and foments division and war
Fear, division, unresolved conflict
all come from "unforgiveness"
The more we can forgive, we can receive perfect love and truth
that casts out fear and ignorance. so we can no longer be manipulated
by our fears.
As long as you are divided against others, by fear or some other negative perception,
that division is your enemy, NOT EACH OTHER.
This is the oldest trick in the book.
To set people one against the other by playing on their fears, divisions,
conflicts to turn this into a competition to make one side right and the other wrong
to dominate.
So yes, it is true, that both sides see the other as the enemy
and will end up destroying each other and the relationship.
This is exactly how "Satan" wins by selfish manipulation and division.
So the one way to defeat the enemy is to forgive, correct and restore the relationship
between people in harmony. By forgiveness, there is no fear or division for the
devil to play with, to pit anyone against anyone else. God and the Holy Spirit win.
The truth sets us free from strife and conflict, where the devil can no longer divide us.

Or in your words: "DON'T read or follow these.
Only God can interpret these anyway. There is only
one mediator between God and man, so without
Christ, as long as there is Antichrist in the world,
then this Antichrist is going to twist and abuse these scriptures
to commit injustice in the name of the law and lead people astray with false religion anyway. So don't bother."
