1 | Any scriptural support? | Matthew | Radioman2 | 93659 | ||
Gracefull: Good to hear from you. I always appreciate your replies and input. Consider the following. Grace to you, Radioman2 ____________________ In it he went and preached to the spirits in prison,[33] 1 Peter 3:19 New English Translation [33 study note] 'And preached to the spirits in prison. The meaning of this preaching and the spirits to whom he preached are much debated. It is commonly understood to be: '(1) Christ's announcement of his victory over evil to the fallen angels who await judgment for their role in leading the Noahic generation into sin; this proclamation occurred sometime between Christ's death and ascension; or '(2) Christ's preaching of repentance through Noah to the unrighteous humans, now dead and confined in hell, who lived in the days of Noah. 'The latter (2) is preferred because of the temporal indications in v. 20a and the wider argument of the book. These verses encourage Christians to stand for righteousness and try to influence their contemporaries for the gospel in spite of the suffering that may come to them. All who identify with them and their Savior will be saved from the coming judgment, just as in Noah's day.' (www.netbible.com) |

Radioan2, Thanks for laying out the two opinions. in opinion (2) were you referring to the faithful humans who died before Christ came? And that Christ went to them to announce His finished work on the cross so they could have eternal life? Chusarcik |

Chusarcik: 'Opinion' (2) reads: "(2) Christ's preaching of repentance through Noah to the unrighteous humans, now dead and confined in hell, who lived in the days of Noah." Your question: "in opinion (2) were you referring to the faithful humans who died before Christ came?" My answer: No, I was not referring to "the FAITHFUL HUMANS who died before Christ came." What I quoted was referring to: "the unrighteous humans," (now dead and confined in hell, who lived in the days of Noah)". I was referring to UNRIGHTEOUS HUMANS, not the faithful humans. Your question: "And that Christ went to them to announce His finished work on the cross so they could have eternal life? " My answer: No, I was not saying that Christ went to them. What I quoted referred to "Christ's preaching of repentance THROUGH NOAH." 'This means that Christ preached [a] by the Holy Spirit [b] through Noah [c] to unsaved people [d] in O.T. times (compare 1 Peter 1:10-11), [e] their spirits being now in prison.' I say again: "The theory that the Lord Jesus, after His crucifixion, preached to the unsaved dead in hades and gave them a second chance is NOT FOUND IN SCRIPTURE' (New Scofield Reference Bible, Oxford, 1967). Grace to you, Radioman2 |

I agree that no one gets a second chance after they die. The rest of your opinion, I'm not sure. Chusarcik | ||||||
5 | Is this what you mean? | Matthew | Makarios | 93782 | ||
Chusarcik, Radioman has supported his opinion with Scripture and with a very reputable source, that being, the New Scofield Bible. Therefore, if you dispute or don't agree with what he has provided, then perhaps you should re-examine your opinion, and offer a retort that is based upon Scripture, since his stance is supported by Scripture and at least one other source. Grace to you, Makarios |
