81 | Question about Jesus' gentile ancestors | Matthew | Chusarcik | 87353 | ||
In Matthew Chp 1, what is the significance of the fact that of the 4 women listed in Jesus' ancestory, 3 are gentiles? Chusarcik | ||||||
82 | Why are some ancestors not listed? | Matthew | Chusarcik | 87358 | ||
My LifeChange gospel of Matthew study guide indicates that in Matthew chapter one, where Jesus genealogy is given, that not all of the ancestors between Abraham and Jesus are listed, but some are deliberatly left out. Why is this? And the ones listed are listed in 3sets of 14. What is the significance of that? Chusarcik Chusarcik |

83 | another question on this topic | Matthew | Chusarcik | 87395 | ||
Thanks for the answer and additional information. So it seems the scripture purposly lists the sets of 14 to represent the 3 steps of deliverence and I understand numbers in scripture are often listed in multiples of seven, but the fact that some generations are ignored and left out in order to come up with the sets of 14 needed would make scripture appear purposly contrived to come up with the needed outcome. At least I feel that is what a non believer would think if I were to try to explain this. I know that sometimes when prophecy is fulfilled there are gap periods of time that are not counted in the total because nothing significant happens during the silence period, such as the gap of time between the 69th and 70th week in the prophecy of Daniel. Could it be that those ancestors left out in Jesus' ancestory were not important because either nothing important to fulfillment of prophecy ocurred during their lifetimes or they were not believers? Any comments? Chusarcik |

84 | What was Jesus doing in the earth 3 days | Matthew | Chusarcik | 93243 | ||
Matthew 12:40 says after being crucified, Jesus spent three days in the center of the earth. Can anyone explain the purpose of this and what He was doing in the center of the earth? Chusarcik |
||||||
85 | Any more information on this? | Matthew | Chusarcik | 93250 | ||
I looked at 1 Peter 3:19 and 11 Peter 4-5 and it seems as though Jesus went to the center of the earth to give some message to disobediant angels. Does anyone have further comments on the purpose of Jesus' 3 day visit t the center of the earth? Chusarcik | ||||||
86 | No point in preaching to the lost? | Matthew | Chusarcik | 93260 | ||
Why would Jesus bother to preach to those who'd already lost their chance for salvation? Doesn't each of us have to choose to believe or not believe while still living? And even if Christ had not yet come, isn't each person judged based on whether they believed in God and waited in anticipation for Christ to come? Why would he preach to the unsaved. What would it accomplish? Chusarcik |

87 | I unerstand, but that's not my question | Matthew | Chusarcik | 93314 | ||
I understand that Jesus was giving the information to try to get sinners to repent, but that is not my question. My question is, "What was the Jesus' purpose in going to the center of the earth for 3 days?" It doesn't seem He could have been preaching repentance, because those in the center of the earth were no longer living and each person must choose to believe or not believe before he dies. Can anyone answer my question? Chusarcik | ||||||
88 | Thanks, what do you think about this? | Matthew | Chusarcik | 93317 | ||
Thanks, I much appreciate the scripture references. Based upon 1 Peter 3:18-20 it seems possible Jesus went to the center of the earth to announce His finished work on the cross to those who died anticipating His coming. One thing bothers me about that explanation, though. 1 Peter 3:19 and 20 says Jesus was preaching to spirits who DISOBEYED while Noah's ark was being built. That doesn't sound like people who died waiting for Christ to me. Also, if these verses represent ALL who died in faith prior to Christ's actual coming, why do they specifically speak only of those who disobeyed while the ark was being built? Something doesn't fit here or I'm missing something. Any comments? Chusarcik | ||||||
89 | 1 Peter doesn't sound like faithful dead | Matthew | Chusarcik | 93356 | ||
Let me put my question another way: It sounds like Jesus WAS referring to the faithful dead Matthew 12:40 but in 1 Peter 3:19-20 which I was given as a second reference for what Jesus did in the center of the earth (or whatever place it was that he went for 3 days) it says, "He went and preached to the spirits in prison who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built" The 1 Peter reference, on the other hand, doesn't sound like faithful dead. Why would He refer to all the faithful dead as only specifically the spirits that "disobeyed while the ark was being built". Is he speaking of the same group of people in these two passages? Thanks for your input. Chusarcik | ||||||
90 | I'm getting differing opinions... | Matthew | Chusarcik | 93359 | ||
Is Jesus talking about 2 different groups of people in the two above passages? Chusarcik | ||||||
91 | Thankyou, what do you think about this? | Matthew | Chusarcik | 93362 | ||
Hank, Thanks for your detailed answer. Your view point seems more likely to me as in 1 Peter Jesus says He addressed the disobedient spirits in the days of Noah. That doesn't sound like he's talking about the righteous dead to me. I am beginning to see from some of the answers I've been getting that there are two view points on who Jesus is addressing. Some believe it's wicked spirits as you do and some think it's the righteous dead. A brief thought. Could Jeus have addressed two different groups of people during the 3 days in the center of the earth? Could he have referred to the righteous dead in Matthew 12:40 and the wicked spirits in the days of Noah? I don't know, what do you think? Chusarcik | ||||||
92 | Thanks your opinion differs from others | Matthew | Chusarcik | 93464 | ||
Hank, Thankyou. As you can probably see, I am getting many responses to my question. I'm about half way through them and they all seem to disagree with you, but yours is the only one I've read so far that seems to match with what the scripture is saying. I have many more verses to look up which I will do before I finalize my opinion. Thanks again, Chusarcik |
||||||
93 | Is it this one? | Matthew | Chusarcik | 93527 | ||
I think that's the one where you said, "Here is my opinion....." Think I read that one. If it's a different one, let me know. Chusarcik | ||||||
94 | To which of these places did Jesus go? | Matthew | Chusarcik | 93558 | ||
Truthfinder, Thanks for the parallel text info in Jude and thankyou for defining the different meanings of Hades,Tartarus, Sheol and the Abyss. Which of these places is the the place in Matthew 12:40 where it says in my NIV Bible that Jesus went to the center of the earth for three days? My Bible study notes do not give that information. Chusarcik |
||||||
95 | Am I understanding your meaning? | Matthew | Chusarcik | 93565 | ||
I'm trying to combine your two answers and understand the whole meaning. Are you saying that Jesus preached to the Nephilim in 1 Peter 3:18-19 but this was a separate event from the the three days Jesus spentin the earth illustrated in Matthew 12:40 and also in Ephesians 4:9-10 where it says Jesus descended into the lower parts of the earth? Sorry to keep asking questions, butI've read many different opinions and am trying to get it all straight. Chusarcik | ||||||
96 | Any scriptural support? | Matthew | Chusarcik | 93613 | ||
That's an interesting thought and one I have not heard anyone bring up. Does anyone have any scripture that could back up this idea? Chusarcik | ||||||
97 | Continuing search why 3 days in earth? | Matthew | Chusarcik | 93614 | ||
Yes, 1 Peter 3:18-20 gives the event of Jesus crucifiction and the preaching to the spirits in prison who disobeyed in Noah's days together and it seems we may be able to conclude that the preaching to the spirits was during the 3 days in the earth. Could Jesus have been making a statement to the Nephilim Truthfinder explained in the post above during the 3 days? Truthfinder, I'd like your response on this. Chusarcik |

98 | What 'syour opinion on original question | Matthew | Chusarcik | 93643 | ||
Pastor Glenn, Thanks for your comments. What do you,or anyone else who wishes to respone, think Jesus was doing in the center of the earth for 3 days? (1Peter 3:19-20) Chusarcik |
||||||
99 | Asking the original question again? | Matthew | Chusarcik | 93644 | ||
That's great and Copeland sounds like a nut, for sure, but I don't think you addressed the original question. My original question is Why was Jesus in the center of the earth for 3 days preaching to the spirits who disobeyed in the days of Noah? Who were these disobedient spirits? 1 Peter 3:19-20. | ||||||
