Could it not be said that Love is the key?

I understand your reasoning with Satan, but this is a presupposition that is given to us by theology and not what the word of God actually states.
Rev 20:2 And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;
Revelation 20 does not call the dragon / serpent of old Satan. Neither does Genesis 3. Satan is first mentioned in the 1 Chronicles 21 mixup verse with 2 Samuel 24.
It seems to me, you are implying that Yehwah is Satan; therefore Jesus being the incarnation of Yehwah (to return on Yom Yehwah) makes Jesus out to be Satan. This is a paradox. Rev 20:2 specifically identifies Satan as the ancient snake, who is bound for 1,000 years. Jesus is destined to rule for 1,000 years, while Satan is bound. How can they be the same?
Yehwah (Jesus) created everything including Satan, the snake, and man. Satan and man are fallen, not Yehwah.

He's close.
Does he realize he's fighting the illusion? Against those claiming they seeing the holy spirit face to face, no less. Lol. Sounds like Saul's claim. Rending clothing and all. So Pharisatical.
Here is your missing piece Alpha.
"The Bible, the letters of creation, and the words of Hebrew all support the story of the Torah in parallel."
"you are required to forfeit the Bible's authenticity to make the claim. I do not take this road."
"Check the Parallel to the very first use"
"Which one is correct?"

Some of us reject Paul as a false teacher for our own reasons. Out of respect for you, I will not post why I feel that way here. Your own path is before you.
With that said. How did Jesus use it, in context? Using only what he said? How did he apply it? Ignore the theologians. Use just a concordance.
You are making it far too difficult for yourself. :-) Your esoteric music thread almost got it.
