Look, Sunday is coming and I have to finish preparing for two classes I have to teach and quite frankly, I don't want us to leave tonight still debating something we all agree on, except we interpret it in different terms because of our experiences and teachings. The quote from the commentary is from Calvin's "Sermons on Ephesians". As you can see he takes the warfare seriously as I'm sure all of us here do or we would not be so serious about the weapons of our warfare and the security of knowing that no matter how intense the fight with the enemy, our Captain will never leave us on the field defenseless, or unsure of the ultimate victory.

Be sure to thank Him in the morning for keeping us safe during the night when we are most vulnerable.

I figured it was either Calvin or Luther. We know you too well. 8~)

And you are wrong in saying Calvin does not think Satan is bound. That excerpt in no way implies that Calvin believes we can be vanquished.
