Jesus will bring with Him those spirits on resurrection day, to be united in the resurrected, changed, and glorious bodies. Spirits without bodies are incomplete.rgoncehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11115453980069044809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295032270804954992.post-5218524890009130472017-11-04T20:02:59.441-07:002017-11-04T20:02:59.441-07:00So what happend when we die at present time ?

And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, <br />Mat 27:53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many. <br />rgoncehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11115453980069044809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295032270804954992.post-88144014588638130452013-03-28T07:42:08.935-07:002013-03-28T07:42:08.935-07:00Aforetime is talking about when the spirits perish...Aforetime is talking about when the spirits perished in the flood. The banner that flies over the whole passage is Jesus, dead in the body, but alive in the spirit, descending to Hades. To deny that this happened is to deny that Jesus was human. <br /><br />Just read the stories, and leave the sophist arguments aside. Jesus, dead in the body, but alive in the spirit, preached to the spirits in Hades. The gospel was preached to the dead by Jesus.<br /><br />This gives no support to modern day second chance doctrines. Those who perished in the days of Noah were terminated by God to cleanse the earth, and He, according to the story, gave them the chance to be raised to new life by faith. rgoncehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11115453980069044809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295032270804954992.post-83223035790948885612013-03-28T06:23:46.731-07:002013-03-28T06:23:46.731-07:00Verse 20

In the time of Noah they were disobedient; in the time of Noah Christ preached to them; in the time of Noah, most of them rejected salvation; in the time of Noah 'few' were saved. A few 'spirits'? no, a few 'souls,' that being what all of them were at the time of the preaching. There is absolutely no hint whatever in the entire New Testament of any spirits, at any time whatever, ever having been saved, or for that matter, even preached to. All of the nonsense that one reads about Christ preaching to the spirits in Hades is a fabrication built like a superstructure above and beyond the New Testament text. Of course, the selfishness of men enters into such interpretations. Men would like to have a second chance. Having rejected Christ in their bodies, they dream of getting preached to 'as spirits'! The popular notion held by many that Christ preached to disembodied spirits is rationally inconceivable. If he had done such a thing, why should Noah's generation alone, of all who ever lived on earth, have been singled out as the beneficiaries? No.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17561305172079896987noreply@blogger.com
