According to the Ransom Theory of the Atonement God offered Christ to Satan as a ransom for sinners. The ransom theory is connected to false dominion theology when they use it to explain how God supposedly regained the authority over the earth that he transferred to Adam, who then lost it to Satan. According to these false teachers Jesus regained that authority and transferred it to the church, who then lost it again. It is true that deliverance from Satan is a result of the atonement, but this result is based on delivering us from our guilt under the law, which held us in bondage to sin and Satan (Colossians 2:13-15). That idea is not the same as God paying a ransom price to Satan. This theory dishonors God by assuming that God had to pay a debt to Satan to regain control of His own creation.
