[Dr. Eckleburg]

So if Satan tempts all men, but he is not capable of overwhelming you, is Satan bound or not?

Of course he is. Or you would succumb to him just like the non-believer down the street.

Christ has check-mated him.

"Get thee behind me, Satan."

Does he or not?

Nope, not even close. He is not bound, but as a Christian he can only do to me what God allows and he can never cause me to lose my salvation.

Now you're starting to sound like those free will Arminians. ;)

Satan is a roaring lion, the prince of the air, constantly seeking to deceive. Look at all the Mary apparitions that have people praying to her instead of Jesus. Satan is out and about.

I know you will argue your view to the end, but just look at Romans 11. Israel is only blinded until God has all of us He intends to have. IOW, God is not done with Israel. If this is true (and it is!) then the theological belief that Christians have assumed all the unfulfilled promises given to Israel is wrong.
