Why couldn't his disciples recognize him nah? smiley
If I answer you will you accept? Of cause no. You're not asking for truth sake, your mind is made up on lies!

Here you go:

Luke 24:16: "But their eyes were holden that they should not know him."

In the book of Revelation, is it the 'spirit' of people that were crying in hell or the 'souls' of martyrs that was crying under the altar?

In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, where did Jesus say that it was the 'spirit' of the rich man and Lazarus that was in hades and the blossom of Abraham?
Why was the rich man asking for water since he was not with his body in hades? Do spirits drink water?

In the case of saul and Samuel, does the Bible say that Samuel was speaking from hell? Why did God forbade the isrealites from trying to communicate with the dead in Deuteronomy 18:11 if conscious spirits of dead people actually exist?
What sort of useless questions are these.

Human have spirits, souls and bodies. When the body dies, the spirit and soul is alive in the spirit realm. Hence you can refer to that individual as a soul and as a spirit.

In Hebrews 12:23, we are told that we fellowship with the Spirits of Just men made perfect. The word Made Perfect is talking about the men who have died. Infact the book calls them a cloud of witnesses who keep urging us on to our eternal rewards.

Foolish question. I need to say this because you've asked so many of them that I've ignored. Please choose your questions wisely next time. I don't need to answer that foolish question querying if Jesus said it was the spirit of the spirits of Abraham, Lazarus and the rich man that are in hell. No it was not their spirit, it was your spirit.

The Samuel question is another foolish question. Samuel was actually speaking from your house I guess.

This is what the scriptures say!

1Corinthians 15:45

That's why his disciples who knew him very well couldn't recognize him again because it's not the body they knew! wink
He resurrected with His body. The life giving Spirit dwells in that resurrected body. We too will resurrect with that same type of body if we die before Jesus comes.

Where did the scriptures say this? smiley
Ha!

1. Jesus doesn't preach to any other being except men. Men are the only reason why He came to earth, died and resurrected. Only men.

2. Peter clearly said He preached to the disobedient people who refused to enter the ark in the days of Noah. Very very clear. Clearer than 7up!

Lol...please provide a verse that shows that people go to hell as living spirits?

Please explain the difference between hell and grave even though they are both from the same Hebrew word Sheol?
My God, it's all over the Bible. I have cited the Parable of Abraham, Lazarus and the rich man. I've cited the Book of Revelation where there were souls under the altar. I've cited Saul and Samuel. And there are several other scriptures which I cannot presently remover that makes us know that men turn to spirits when they die. Even Maxindhouse once said Jesus resurrected as a spirit before he was shown the scriptures that proves Jesus resurrected as a living body. It shows you guys know the truth but you want lies to prevail!

Are you saying that if we dig the grave of Abraham today we can still find his body?

Why are you this funny?

Won't maggots eat up the body of people in their graves? smiley
We'll find his bones my brother!

Meanwhile, the fish that swallowed Jonah is no longer to be found anywhere anymore in the universe! How's that a grave? Hen?

How many times do i have to do that?

Angels left their abode in heaven and came down to have SEX with female humans {Genesis 6:1-2} the unnatural mating led to the birth of notorious giants {Genesis 6:4} this giants terrorised the inhabited earth and many people turned to violence {Genesis 6:5} God told Noah to build an Ark for obedient and peace loving humans but only his family listened to him.

God sent heavy rain for 40 days and 40 nights so that all living things on dry land were wiped off except those inside the Ark with Noah.

The angels dropped off their materialized bodies and returned to heaven the spirit realms but God didn't allow them to join His loyal spirit sons again and they were disengaged awaiting judgement.

Abeg what is difficult to grasp in this?

Humans died according to God's word that sinners will pay with their lives {Genesis 2:17} and that has cleared their sins since they have paid with their human lives {Romans 6:7} but angels who can't die naturally are reserved for the day of judgement. 1Peter 3:18-20; 2Peter 2:4; Jude 1:6

They are the spirits that the death of Jesus has a deep meaning for because he was one of the spirit sons of God and they don't know that it's possible for them to die like humans since they are like God in nature! Psalms 82:6-7
Very wobbled Theology. I cannot stop laughing.

Hey, the angels who did not keep their first estate are still imprisoned in eternal chains and darkness. Take note, ETERNAL CHAINS AND DARKNESS

Here's the scripture:

Jude 1:6:

"And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day."

They remain there even after the resurrection of Jesus. Their fate is ETERNAL. No preaching to them. Okay?

Jesus came to earth, became man, died and resurrected all because of MAN. No, angels were not included in the plan of salvation!

If the fallen angels of Noah's days are the ones Peter was referring to, then, they should no longer be under chains. They should be free but actually, they're Perpetually chained in eternal darkness. Jesus didn't go to preach to them. It's absolutely useless! They're there waiting for the day of judgement. That's sound biblical doctrine.

The spirits Jesus preached to in prison are men. The spirits of men and not those of fallen angels.

I have a lot of shockers still waiting for you if you think you can continue peddling this false doctrine and not get yourself to blame in the end. Why do you hate the truth this much?

He wasn't dead but it could have been his end if God didn't intervene that's why Revelations 20:13 said the sea gave up the dead in them because many people were eaten by fish so if Jonah wasn't miraculously rescued that would have been his own GRAVE! smiley
Fish is not grave. Anything that ends up in the belly of a fish goes through a digested process and gets excreted out. Your analogy is very illogical. Fish is not grave!

Since living people do not go to hell, is there consciousness in sheol?
Why are you so confused?

Are lining people the only conscious beings in the universe?

People don't go to hell as living bodies. They go to hell as living spirits.

Jonah is in his GRAVE because that is a place of inactivity which could have been his real grave if not for God's intervention.
That's why the Bible says there is no activity in SHEOL (Hebrew) HADES (Greek) HELL (English) where DEAD people goes! Ecclesiastes 9:10 wink
Yet he cried and prayed in the grave, the place of inactivity. May God have mercy on you guys!

Peter never said Jesus went to Hell to preach to DEAD souls! cheesy
Explain the scripture in your own language and I'll counter you if it doesn't follow sound interpretation.

Oga your king James translation used hell according to context. Does that not tell you that sheol can be translated as hell? Yes or no?

What is the meaning of hell in that context of Jonah 2:2?
Yeah, rightly translated hell. It was a figurative expression to let us know the harrowing experience he went through in the belly of the fish.

He wasn't in a literal hell or grave since he was not dead at the time. Or you want to tell us that living people go to hell?

This Jonah verse here further proves that the word Sheol should be understood according to context.

Oga bring it out....Na you dey teach us.....show us where 'Hell' or 'Hades' appears in 1 Peter 3:18-20. I have not found it. You claim it is there. So bring it out.
The ones I've brought out what did you do with them? Why are you afraid to bring it out yourself?

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Which one is belly of hell again? Is the belly of hell not in hell? You funny oo. Do you agree that sheol means grave and hell according to your beloved king James version? Yes or no?
I have told you that the word is translated according to the context.

Was Jonah dead? How then could he be in the grave? Think, my friend!
Christianity EtcRe: Souls That Died Before Jesus Christ Came - Where Are They Now?6 by GothamCities: 1:15pm On Dec 04, 2024
Michael547:
So what does it mean in Jonah 2:2?

Below is king James version in Jonah 2:2....the same king James version that used 'grave' in Ecclesiastics 9:10.

King James Bible
And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.
Belly of hell is best translation for Jonah 2:2. Jonah was not dead. He was only recounting an hellish ordeal!

2 Peter 2:4 contains fallen angels and Tatarus. You've not still showed us where hades or hell appears in 1 Peter 3:18-20.
Are we talking about 2Peter 2:4?

Michael547:
Oga the Hebrew word in Jonah 2:2 is 'Sheol'. The same Hebrew word that you argued in Ecclesiastics9:10 that it means 'grave'. So why are you changing mouth now?
Sheol means realm of the dead. It is often translated according to context.

In Ecclesiastes, it means grave.

Jonah 2:2

“Out of my distress I called out to Jehovah, and he answered me. Out of the depths of the Grave I cried for help. You heard my voice." NWT

“In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me. From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help, and you listened to my cry." NIV‬



You're really amusing abeg! grin
So, the grave is the realm of the dead according to you?

Which grave exactly did Jonah find himself in that your fake NWT Bible translated it grave?

Where was the grave located?

Who told you this lie?

Tell me where you saw Jonah in a grave.

It's very difficult to bring you guys to see truth because it will be necessary to overhaul a whole lot of jargons and demonic doctrines from.yiue foundation before one will be able to plant truth in you.

Ọmọ people who lived in Noah's days perished by water but fallen angels did not that's why God imprisoned them in the spirit realms. smiley
Lol.

Peter said it was the spirits of those who perished by water that were imprisoned.

I think it's time to stop talking with you as you don't regard the Scriptures.

I think it's not healthy to be responding to you and be hearing very nauseating lines of thinking.

Why don't you sit down and study that book of Peter very well and make your research instead of spewing thrash all over the place?

I don't even know who told you that fallen angels perished by water. What nonesense!

Chai!

Are you a baby boy?

Going down to the earth means death. It does not mean that the spirits remain there.

You didn't answer any question I asked but you keep asking useless questions.

If Peter was talking about a physical grave, why was Jesus preaching to spirits there? Do spirits live in the grave?

According to God's word it's appointed that man live once so how come they have double chances of hearing preaching?
Noah preached to them they ignore.
Jesus now to the same people again. cheesy

Ọmọ Noah preached to his contemporaries humans like him and they perished due to their stubbornness Jesus can't preach at death but his condition is a warning to fallen angels that came to have SEX with female humans in the days of Noah! Genesis 6:1-5 wink
You're confused.

And I'm sorry, I don't have the time to teach you.

Jesus can't preach to angels. He didn't come to save them!

That's a very demonic doctrine!

where did Peter say that the spirits were in hades?
I think your confusion stems from the fact that you don't know where the spirits of dead men go!
