Bible Question: 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 |
Bible Answer: Chusarcik, I was pondering the various responses her and your question in light of the scripture in 1 Peter. I wonder if Jesus preached to those who died before Noah because they did not have the covenant given to Abraham. Abraham was not born until chapter 11 and Noah built the Ark in chapter 5. I wonder if scripture supports God's offering His grace reaching through Jesus to them as weel as those who died in faith after the covenant? This is a question for discussion. I have not studied it out. But odviously scripture clearly says Jesus preached to them. God bless |
