Bouman,
You are the only one making the assertion.
assertion based on your view which you have not shown to be incorrect. You simply dismiss the concept and still do not explain your view.
I guess I'll need to help you some more.
Sacrificial death has ALWAYS been mandated by Yahweh as a means of providing humanity with respite.
I understand that point. However, you have not explained that a sacrifice is all that was necessary. You put your statement into a little theological box and cannot seem to get out of it in order to make it valid.
Are you saying that Christ's death, death alone gave man this respite? Is this what you understand by Christ binding Satan? Respite from what?
The final sacrifice was made by God, Himself, to humanity...again providing a period of time for humanity to freely come to Jesus while Satan was out of the way...
So the resurrection has no salvfic content. Only the sacrifice is sufficient for our salvation?
You seem to imply that man could not come to God before Christ bound Satan? What about the OT saints?
Could you explain what you mean by the phrase, "Satan out of the way:?
So in your view death has not yet been defeated? If not, what reqirement is needed in your view to defeat death?
Scripture informs the reader that it is Jesus' death that renders Satan impotent.
This is fact....and you have yet to scripturally refute it.
Christ bound Him there by His death, but to be valid, Christ needed to rise from the dead. Without life, death, the power of Satan cannot be defeated. Without the resurrection Christ would have failed in binding Satan. This is what I mean by having a little box which you have created that has absolutely no meaning or effect upon man.
Scripture refutes your little box concept, as does history. The sacrifice was necessary for sin, but the sacrifice does not give life. It is the resurrection that validates the whole of Christ's work. Without it, nothing of any meaning ever occurred for our salvation. We don't celebrate his death, but His victory over death. It is that victory, life over death that gives man and the world life, defeats Satan and his power, death.
The chapter in Hebrews which mentions this makes no mention of a Resurrection event required to complete it.
which is due to your creation of little isolated boxes of theology. You fail to connect them so they have meaning. It presupposes the resurrection which is amply explained elsewhere in scripture.
Death itself does not defeat death. Life defeats death. The power of Satan, death was completed by Christ's resurrection. Without the resurrection death remains and Satan remains unbound would still absolute power over man.
Where you got the idea that Jesus had to remain in the grave as long as Satan is bound is a fictional catholic fabrication residing in the inner recesses of a delusional mind...
It was deduced from your little box theology. See if you can dispell that notion. Explain just how death, per se, binds Satan.
Let's see if you can answer these questions and shed some light upon your view which at this point has no scriptural/theological meaning. Fill in that meaning.
Put some relevancy to your OP. The fact that you have continued to mount a distraction from your view shows that you cannot explain it and actually answer your own OP.
