And that should apply to everyone who has ever lived since Jesus died, right?
But there is one little problem. God says:
Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. (1 Peter 5:8)
So according to the Holy Spirit, Satan is not bound but roams the earth.
As usual, I'm going to go with what God says.
i’m going with Rev 20. Jesus said in Matthew 12:29 “or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house”
Jesus bound the strong man Satan at the cross and the Church has been spoiling his house ( the pagan nations ) for 2,000 years.
Do you think Satan is the only reason everyone isn’t saved? don’t you know the heart of man is desperately wicked, who can know it? Man is seperated from God due to sin, not Satan. Jesus reconciles us to God in His Body, which is the Church. private interpertation of Scripture leads one to all kinds of weird theology.
