Bible Note: 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 |
