c marengo, I would have to call a tech on your oversimplified view that satan is defeated. Colossians 2:15 doesn't say that that he was "completely destroyed by the work of the cross"! It says: "When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him." In answer to "Does Jesus fear Satan?". Are we Jesus? No. We are implored in Ephesians 6:10-18 to "put on the whole armor of God, so that you will be able to stand against the schemes of the devil..." A curious imperative if satan is of no effect upon the believer! We make two errors with regard to satan: 1. We give him too much credit; 2. We don't give him enough credit. Make no mistake about it, Jesus did defeat satan at the cross, however he (satan) is still an active force against us till his ultimate demise in Rev. 20. We are to "boast in the Lord" and glorify Him, not focus on the devil, but to deny his schemes is folly. I think you need to balance your theology a bit more:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

bradK, i think we are saying the same thing..I just choose to focus on the "STAND" aspect of Eph. and other places in the word. I do not underestimate our opponent, however all he can do is "scheme" and "roar"...because HE IS DEFEATED! JESUS is above all...Nothing can seperate us from Him...Greater is He that is in us...We are more than conquerors...I think we tend to focus on the negative and usually live that out as a result victorously HIS, c marengo |
