An invitation to a Pastors´ Conference
Hello,
My text is:
"The Bible inspires us with, "We will reap if we faint not." God-called ministry is not for the faint-hearted and feeble-minded but for the faithful sower and the fearless warrior. Fulltime ministry is ***full-contact*** combat. Remember today that sin will never win and faith in God will never fail".
Thanks and blessings,
Elena

: Suena bien... si no fuera por el contexto, se suele dejar en inglés como arte marcial, pero no pegaría mucho aquí :)

: Yes. "Full contact" is often used in sports writing to disparage "fútbol-soccer" as a wimpy sport compared to a full-contact sport like American football. (Sorry, don't shoot the messenger!)

Además de la palabra combate, me gusta contienda en este contexto.

Combate de contacto
I think that in the context you are trying to use 'combate de contacto' fits.
Something went wrong...
