Bible Note: 'There is no mention in scripture of angels being given the opportunity of redemption which was given to man.' ---???? Did you actually read my response? Because he came off the victor through faithful endurance, the Son of God, as a spirit person, was able to proclaim a message of JUDGMENT against the “spirits in prison.” Since the disobedience of these spirits is linked with the time of Noah, they must be the angelic sons of God who left their original dwelling place in the heavens and took up living as husbands with women. (Genesis 6:1-4)Jude 6 They are spoken of as “spirits in prison” because their punishment included a form of restraint, being forever debarred from their original place among the faithful angels. The words of Jude confirm that only a message of condemnatory judgment could be directed to these fallen angels: “And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day.” (Jude 6) It was Jesus’ faithful endurance to the very death that entitled him to be restored to life and thus put him in a position to preach or proclaim such a condemnatory judgment to the fallen angels. Any readers following this discussion..please comment on what you think of it? READ ALL the scriptures cited please. : Why would Peter link Noah to the "spirits in Prison"?? Many had died up until the time of Christ Also compare Eccl 9:5 |
