Hi Chusarcik I am a literalist. I take scripture for what is says in the context it is stated in. In light of that, my answer would have to be, 'No'. Without the above set of rules for study, we can use scripture to create or confirm any doctrine we choose. 1 Peter 3:18-20 states emphatically that Jesus preached....in Hell. Look at the Amplified... 18For Christ [the Messiah Himself] died for sins once for all, the Righteous for the unrighteous (the Just for the unjust, the Innocent for the guilty), that He might bring us to God. IN HIS HUMAN BODY HE WAS PUT TO DEATH, BUT HE WAS MADE ALIVE IN THE SPIRIT, 19 IN WHICH (in what? His Spirit) He went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20[The souls of those] who long before in the days of Noah had been disobedient, when God's patience waited during the building of the ark in which a few [people], actually eight in number, were saved through water. Jesus literaly preached to the souls that died before Noah. Now the only reason Jesus, or us for that matter) would preach to ANYONE is to relay the message of the gospel in order that the hearer becomes accountable for what they KNOW. From Genesis to Revelation, God expounded His Word to convey His will for us to have a choice of obedience or rejection. Now scripture tells us that Noah preached the coming flood day by day as the Ark was being built. They had a choice then and rejected. Either Christ was demonstrating the choice they rejected or giving them another choice, I do not know. Those raised at the time of Jesus rexurrecton were called 'saints'. Either these were the righteous dead or they were repentant forgiven unrighteous souls. All here is speculation. Only the Holy Spirit can give us a clear answer somewhere in scripture. But as a literalist, Jesus died physically, his Spirit ascended to Hell and preached to the souls that were disobedient in the days of Noah. God bless |

Scripture ... 1 Peter 3:18-20 ............ gracefull, How does "preached to the spirits in prison" mean He preached in hell? I know that some teach this and it may be tradition. But, search Scripture your self. Notice "once disobedient" ... so that means there was a change. Once you die, you cannot change. Before you reply, check out the word used for once ... pito in the Greek else where in the NT. Searcher |

Hi Searcher, Once..Strong's #530 'hapax' and is the same word used in Acts 18 Christ having died 'once' for sin. Actually, this does not sound 'temporal' as was stated on radioman2's post...sounds permanent like Jesus' death for sin...once for all.. How does that alter the spirits in prison? You asked... How does "preached to the spirits in prison" mean He preached in hell? The context of these scriptures are emediately following physical death. Acts 2:24-27 24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. 25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: 26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: 27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 1 Peter 3:18-20 ...Jesus..put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit..went...and preached to the souls (or spirits) in prison. Where would disobedient souls go to prison at? The Bible only speaks of Heaven and Hell as places where human spirits can go. Where do you think this might be? I only know of two dwellings for spirits of men..Heaven and Hell. These were not in Heaven for two reasons...#1 Jesus went to Hell first, then ascended to Heaven. God bless |

I think He preached to the other seven who were in the ark with Noah. My problem with preaching to the dead is they cannot be "once disobedient" |
