Thanks for the clarification. I had never considered that verse as a literal place because other places seem to indicate the devil and demons are still active as they were in Jesus time where Jesus continulally "gave them a beat down." However, I really didn't know what to do with what seemed like a contradiction. Many of my essays try to clarify and unknot misunderstandings of the Bible, but this one I had no idea how to untangle...Thanks again for your work.
