look at #37

no more than speculation, as no one knows for sure what Peter means. Take a look at #37

you say that believers that were "disobedient" at the time of the Ark being built, have the Gospel preached to them? What do you mean by "disobedient"? Do you mean "unsaved"? Your reasoning is no more than conjecture, and has no fact in Scripture!

There are some on here who seem to believe in a very non-biblical and very dangerous teaching of post-death salvation. This is a damnable heresy from the enemy, which is giving people a false hope into a false belief and security, that after humans die, they might get a "second chance" to hear...

nothing more than "speculative theology", and a completely non-biblical teaching giving a completely FALSE hope.

you have completely misread this passage. Firstly, it says "in the days of Noah", which means, "when Noah lived", and nothing to do with Noah being in any "prison". Secondly, it clearly says it is Jesus Who is the One Who "proclaimed" to these "spirits", and noting about Noah "preaching"

Good night from old England

But, what you are saying here is only speculation, as you still have to show how the words, "preached unto the spirits in prison", can refer to Noah?

where exactly do you get any second chance from? the Bible is very clear, that after death is judgement (Hebrews 9:27), which means that there is no hope of any further "chance" to hear the Gospel. The whole idea of any "second chance", is a mockery to the whole Gospel Message. Consider this...

take the quote from Jude for example, where we read that "Enoch...prophesied, saying..." (verse 14). It does not say, "it is written", so as to quote from the so called book of Enoch, but rather words that the Holy Spirit gave Jude directly.

"was the Gospel preached" is in the Greek, "εὐηγγελίσθη", which is the first aorist passive indicative, which would mean that which "had been done in time past", and not something in the future. It was while these dead were living, that they had the Gospel preached to them.

do you then understand what Peter is saying here?

The Greek is simply, "Because, for this end was the gospel preached to the dead also", which must refer to those who are dead at the time Peter wrote, but were alive when the were preached to. I see no clear Biblical teaching on any post-death conversions, or the hope of any

I think that there is no way that anyone can really know what this passage means

This is not what Peter is saying here, as "By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison", cannot refer to Noah. φυλακή is never used of Ἅιδης.

The Book of Enoch is not inspired by the Holy Spirit, and therefore not relevant in what it says. We must stick only with the Word of God.

Are you suggesting that after physical death, people might be saved? While it is true that the Greek verb, κηρύσσω, used in 1 Peter 3:19, can is used for the "preaching of the Gospel Message", it does not mean this in every instance, and is also used for "proclaiming" something, with no...

clearly you are blinded by your theology, as you remark "I know a sinner can be forgiven and saved without "first repenting.", is 100% against what Jesus says in Luke 24:27 (ESV). This is my last comment on this, as it is clear to me that you cannot understand what the Bible teaches on a...

I will only say this one more time. Explain what Jesus means in Luke 24:47 as found in the ESV translation, which is using the best textual evidence, "REPENTANCE FOR FORGIVENESS"; which means that REPENTANCE brings about FORGIVENESS of sins. This is the crux of the Gospel of the salvation for...

do you believe that the Bible teaches that a sinner must first repent of their sins and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour, to be saved?
