Bible Question (short): Power over death? |
Question (full): Hebrews 2:14,15 "Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,(15) and might free thosewho through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives." C. Gordon Olson in his book GETTING THE GOSPEL RIGHT published by Global Gospel Publishers 2005 Olson says on page 29, "Even the power of death was delegated to Satan. Obviously God's exercise of His sovereignty has been limited thereby. God retains the ultimate sovereignty but has allowed Satan and fallen man to do their own thing in opposition to Him." After looking as several commentaries I am confused. Did or does Satan have the power of death? If Satan has the power of death then how does this fit with Psalm 139:16 where it states our days have been written in a book before we were even born, and our days are ordained by God? justme |
