Satan and his Lies

[mikesw]

It seems that according to Scriptures, satan is a spirit that works in the minds of men, specifically the children of disobedience to God/Christ.

This spirit professes to know God/Christ, and it quotes "some" of God's/Christ's Word to deceive the whole world, as it is written. It isn't flesh and blood, because we fight against this spirit, but we don't fight against flesh and blood.

Not much I can respond. The ideas or scripture do not seem to identify the devil's essence. Just to be sure, are you denying the unique person being described as Satan?

Nope.

Then Satan still has access to heaven and is not locked up. As inconvenient as it is, God allows his existence and going abouts for His purposes. The locking up is future. Keep reading Revelation and you'll see the 1000 year lock up later on.

 

[jeremiah1five]

Then Satan still has access to heaven and is not locked up. As inconvenient as it is, God allows his existence and going abouts for His purposes. The locking up is future. Keep reading Revelation and you'll see the 1000 year lock up later on.

Let's test that:

4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 2 Peter 2:4.

Jesus said, "I saw Satan as lightning fall." Is there any Scripture that says Satan rose again?

Peter is speaking in the past tense. Jesus spoke in the past tense. How are these future?
Answer: They're not. It is past tense.

The angels that sinned were "delivered into chains of darkness." Past tense.
"Reserved unto judgment" is past tense.

I suggest you study these without consulting a commentary. All you're doing is regurgitating what's written in other people's bible studies. When you consult commentaries and don't come under the anointing and study these things on your own, then all you're doing is regurgitating false doctrine.
You believe Satan was with Jesus in the desert tempting Him, right? Well, that too is false teaching.
When you consult commentaries, you vex the Holy Spirit and short-circuit your thinking and come up with false teaching.

If the great tribulation is future then the fall of the devil, the locking up of the devil is future too. What Jesus and Peter said can be understood as prophetic.

 

[jeremiah1five]

If the great tribulation is future then the fall of the devil, the locking up of the devil is future too. What Jesus and Peter said can be understood as prophetic.

According to Isaiah, Peter, and Jude, the angels that sinned are already 'locked up' awaiting judgment.
The grammar indicates past tense.
