61 | 1 Peter 3:19-20. What does it mean? | 1 Pet 3:19 | bstudent | 115478 | ||
What does 1 Peter 3:19, 20 mean? “In this state [in the spirit, following his resurrection] also he [Jesus] went his way and preached to the spirits in prison, who had once been disobedient when the patience of God was waiting in Noah’s days, while the ark was being constructed, in which a few people, that is, eight souls [“souls,” KJ, Dy; “people,” TEV, JB; “persons,” RS], were carried safely through the water.” (Were those “spirits in prison” the souls of the humans who had refused to take heed to Noah’s preaching before the Flood, and was the way now open for them to go to heaven? Comparison of 2 Peter 2:4 and Jude 6 with Genesis 6:2-4 shows that these spirits were angelic sons of God that had materialized and married in Noah’s day. At 1 Peter 3:19, 20 the Greek word for “spirits” is pneu'ma·sin, while the word rendered “souls” is psy·khai'. The “spirits” were not disembodied souls but disobedient angels; the “souls” here referred to were living people, humans, Noah and his household. What was preached to “spirits in prison” must therefore have been a message of judgment.) What is the meaning of 1 Peter 4:6? “In fact, for this purpose the good news was declared also to the dead, that they might be judged as to the flesh from the standpoint of men but might live as to the spirit from the standpoint of God.” (Were these “dead” the people who had died prior to the death of Christ? As already shown, the dead are not “the spirits in prison.” Those spirits were disobedient angels. And preaching would not have benefited physically dead humans because, as Ecclesiastes 9:5 says, they “are conscious of nothing at all,” and Psalm 146:4 adds that at death a person’s “thoughts do perish.” But Ephesians 2:1-7, 17 does refer to persons who were spiritually dead and who came to life spiritually as a result of accepting the good news.) Hope this helps. |

64 | Why did Jesus Go to Hell | 1 Pet 3:19 | bstudent | 115483 | ||
Hell equals Sheol(Hebrew) equals Hades (Greek) equalsGrave (English) Inconsistent translations such as the King James have mislead readers and caused truth to be veiled. Hades will be destroyed when death is done away with. There will be no need for the grave when all worthy of a resurrection have arisen from it and no one dies anymore, but rather enjoy, everlasting life. (See 1 Cor 15:24-26 and Rev 20:13-15) So where did Jesus go? The grave. Why? He died. |

68 | Why did Jesus Go to Hell | 1 Pet 3:19 | bstudent | 115499 | ||
If Adam is to be redeemed from the grave, then no one will suffer destruction, because no man has sinned like Adam. Like Jesus, he was a perfect man. But unlike Jesus, he directly disobeyed God. Adam had no excuse for this sin (imperfection), it was diliberate. Hitler, Dalmer, etc. were imperfect. Not that I'm betting they'll be resurrected, but they have a better shot than Adam! | ||||||

As regards Eph 4:8, in fulfillment of the prophecy at Psalm 68:18, the 'captives, gifts in men that are given' are described starting in verse 11. What a blessing to the newly founded Christian congregation! In a similar thought Paul writes at 1 Cor 12:28: "And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of administration, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues." |

And I feel likewise. Paradise would hardly be paradise with the likes of unappreciative Adam. | ||||||
71 | Why did Jesus Go to Hell | 1 Pet 3:19 | bstudent | 115506 | ||
And one side note - If you are going to heaven you will not only judge Adam, but angels. See 1 Cor 6:3 and Rev 5:9,10. | ||||||

Good idea. That includes not putting him in heaven. But let's both learn from his mistake and be carefully not to willfully practice sin as he did. (Hebrews 10:26) We can only imagine the precious privilege Adam had but squandered for us, his children - direct communication with the Almighty God. Thanks to Jesus, the second Adam, we will again enjoy that privilege. | ||||||
73 | Adam: Chief Sinner? | 1 Pet 3:19 | bstudent | 115513 | ||
Romans 5:12-14. No one has sinned like Adam because we have inherited imperfection as a result of his transgression. Jeses resembled Adam because of his sinlessness. How many people do you know that have caused the misery that Adam caused? Now please tell me the Scriptural basis for putting Adam in Heaven, if in fact, you concur with the commentary to which I was responding . |

74 | Did this war already occur? | Rev 12:7 | bstudent | 115989 | ||
Did this war already occur or is it yet future? Show your Scriptural reasons for your answer. John said "Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near." (Rev 1:3) Since we can't "take to heart" what we can't understand, surely the truth can be known. | ||||||

Are these even more specific time markers? Do you have a clue?6 Rev 12:6,14: "Then the woman fled into the wilderness where she had a place prepared by God, so that there she would be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days. 14 But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent." These are much more in context. |
