Re: Observe and learn...
No.
You are attempting to blend two separate events as if they were one.
We are dealing with the first event; the death of Jesus upon the cross, which scripture informs the reader that at this moment Satan was rendered impotent – i.e. he was bound at Jesus’ death.
This is the plain reading in English.
This is what Greek grammar states.
This is what the lexicons state.
This is the first salient point – and you cannot get past it.
You offer nothing but your unreferenced opinion....no scriptural exegesis…no Greek reference….no lexical reference….absolutely nothing.
Zero.
You didn't carry it far enough. It is NOT the death that does the binding. Heb 2:14 is the declaration of Christ's Incarnation, He needed to become like us, have a mortal human nature so that He could die. Having died, which is Satan's power can only be bound IF CHRIST DEFEATS DEATH. THE ONLY WAY TO DEFEAT DEATH IS TO HAVE LIFE. CHRIST AROSE FROM THE DEAD. That confirms the binding of Satan. Death is NO longer a power He controls. He no longer has dominion over man or this world.
If Christ simply died, it would do nothing except to guarantee that Satan is still in control and has the power of death. You missed the whole meaning of the Incarnation and why it was necessary. You missed the central meaning of Christ's Atonement.
Your source also misses the whole meaning of why Christ needed to be Incarnated and to die and be raised to life. Christ did not defeat death by dying, but died so that He could raise our natures to life, thus defeating death.
