1 | "Who ONCE were disobedient" is about? | Matthew | Searcher56 | 93496 | ||
Hank ... how do who deal with "spirits (now) in prison, who ONCE were disobedient" (1 Pet 3:19b-20a). Does that mean "the demon inhabitants of the abyss" are now obedient ... or how do you handle "ONCE"? Searcher | ||||||
2 | "Who ONCE were disobedient" is about? | Matthew | Makarios | 93511 | ||
Greetings Searcher, I apologize if I'm 'intruding' on the question that you had for Hank, but I believe that I might have come up with an answer.. 1 Peter 3:20 reads "..who once were disobedient.." in the NASB, but I do not fully believe that this means that the 'spirits now in prison' were disobedient only on one single occurrence, even though that would still be enough evidence for the Lord to bind them ('in prison') if He so chose to do so.. Other translations read as... The Amplified Bible says, "..who long before in the days of Noah had been disobedient, when God's patience.." The American Standard Version (1901) states, "..that aforetime were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God.." The KJV states, "..Which sometime were disobedient," The RSV (1952) states, "..who formerly did not obey.." The ESV states, "..because they formerly did not obey.." The NKJV states, "..who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited.." Therefore, I believe that the word "once" is open for a bit of interpretation, when compared to other translations, and I do not believe that it was Lockman's intention to say that the spirits were disobedient 'only once'... And they are bound forever, until their final sentencing.. It is not possible for them to be 'obedient' ever again. Blessings to you, Makarios |

Word Study ... ajpeiqhvsasivn pote ... Makarios, my brother and friend ... you are welcome to jump in, at any time. In the Greek it is ajpeiqhvsasivn (disobedient) pote (once) I couldn't find ajpeiqhvsasivn ... but did see apeiqeo in the lexicon for this verse. I am not sure of the relation. apeiqeo (Strong's 544) 1. not to allow one's self to be persuaded - to refuse or withhold belief - to refuse belief and obedience 2. not to comply with pote (Strong's 4218) which is from the base of (4225) and (5037) ... once i.e. formerly, aforetime, at some time pou (Strong's 4225) where?, in what place? te (Strong's 5037) not only ... but also both ... and as ... so I looked up pote ... and see that one had changed. I realize thinking these are the other seven may be unique. You do know I don't always agree with the experts. S |

Searcher, Thank you for the word study.. When I looked it up, I recognized that this word is recognized as "hap'-ax".. Thayer's definition for the Greek word "hap'-ax" is: 1) once, one time 2) once for all (adverb) Something of that nature... And yes, I remember very well that you do not always side with the experts! :-) Makarios |
