1 | Those who died before Jesus' death | 1 Pet 4:6 | Morant61 | 139960 | ||
Greetings Angel! I respectfully disagree my friend! It is not by OUR means, but by HIS means. It is His word, not ours! ;-) He chose to reveal Himself in Scripture. He choose to give us commands, examples, and promises through a written word. He chose to use language to reveal Himself. Consequently, I would never read it like a 'best seller', or a tabloid, or a newspaper. I read it like it really is, God's self revelation. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Those who died before Jesus' death | 1 Pet 4:6 | Ray | 139962 | ||
Hi Tim, By speaking of God's self revelation and "He chose to use language to reveal Himself", you recognize the presence of spirit and Spirit. John 1:16, KJ, "And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace." When you choose to go with seeing "Himself" you agree with "God Himself". John 1:16, NASB, "For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace." John 1:18, "NASB, "...He has explained [Him]." John 1:18, KJ, "...he has explained [him]." Which version is the better explanation? How does one decide; by his spirit or His spirit or the Holy Spirit? The only begotten God [the Son]; This Man has explained the Spirit. No man has seen God at any time. John 4:24, NASB, "God is spirit [Or a Spirit]..." I read it like it really is, a chance to know God as He reveals Himself to us. 1Peter 4:6, For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live according to God in the Spirit. That is how I have it "penciled in". :) From the heart, Ray |
