1 | The dead in 1 Pet 4:6 | 1 Pet 4:6 | Huron | 142356 | ||
Is it possible to interpret this verse such that it's saying something close to the following: "The gospel has been preached even to those who are now asleep in Christ. Though they are now dead, perhaps due to persecution, they live in the Spirit. Though they are dead now, Christ will have the final say." Thoughts? Huron |

2 | The dead in 1 Pet 4:6 | 1 Pet 4:6 | greentwiga | 142374 | ||
Notice that the verse says that the gospel was preached (past tense) to those who are now dead (present tense). It could mean that They were normally alive, and got the gospel so some would be saved (they might live according to God). Other interpretations are possible, but why get a strange interpretation when one that fits the rest of scripture fits. Greentwiga |
