Do you imply Heb 2:14 was a lie?

Or do you understand the point that destroy is in a certain sense, like the concept of bondage?

No sir, Not a lie.


Meaning: That He might break the power of him, satan, who holds the power of death...(as the NIV renders it).
or
destroy the STING found in death.

do you think he is bound, as in Revelation 20 bound?

He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years

as in amillennialism?

Amen. So if destroy in Heb is no lie, then that harsh term does not mean satan does not exist. And the far less strong term in Rev 20 that says bound does not mean satan cannot do anything either.

Re: Do you think Revelations is enigmatic?

Begs the relative question, does satan exist at
Rev. 22:15 ?

Is so, how does he, after he was cast into the lake of fire?
If not, how does all this sinful nature still exist without him?


satan has no power over the born again believer.



Mr. Blume, I'm not sure I read where you explained your view in regards to "how bound he is" currently, and how that is described and/or established.
