  did jesus preached to the dead souls of noahs days?.

  in his first letter peter seems to imply that jesus immedaiately after his ressurection he preached to the dead souls of noah's days.in 1 peter 3:19,20 we read :"and in this state he went and preached to the spirits in prison,who had formerly been disobedient when god was patiently waiting in noahs day,while the ark was being constructed,in which a few people, that is, eight souls,* were carried safely through the water.".

  Also in reference to Leolaia 's comments the demons were not in Tartarus during Jesus 's time here on earth as Matthew 8:29 shows:" And look! they screamed, saying: “What have we to do with you, Son of God?+Did you come here to torment us+ before the appointed time?”The demons were allowed to roam free here on earth and didn't expect to be torment until the appointed time"

  Also

  Mark 5:7-10 7 Then he cried out with a loud voice: “What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I put you under oath by God not to torment me.”+ 8 For Jesus had been saying to it: “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.”+ 9 But Jesus asked him: “What is your name?” And he replied: “My name is Legion, because there are many of us.” 10 And he kept pleading with Jesus not to send the spirits out of the country.(=to some distant place)

  good observation John-Mann ,why on earth would Jesus preach the good news to demons ? The Greek word for good news is (ev-aggelion) whereas preaching the good news (ev-ag-ge-li-zo-mai') .Peter used none of these words instead he used the word Ke·rys′so, in general, means “proclaim” (good or bad news), as distinguished from eu·ag·ge·li′zo·mai, “declare good news.” Noah was a preacher (or herald, ke′ryx) to the antediluvian world, warning them. (2Pe 2:5) Christ preached (like a herald) to the spirits in prison, but not the good news.(1Pe 3:18, 19).What was preached to “spirits in prison” must therefore have been a message of judgment .

  All these observation are part of my original post :

  Did Jesus preach to the dead souls of people from Noah's days?

  Peter talks about the spirits in prison from the days of Noah's days .Many Bible commentators believe that these are the souls of people who rejected God back in the days of Noah (biblehub.com) .Nevertheless a careful consideration of the verses shows that the only spirits ever locked away in the New Testament is in relation to demons and not dead people .Also the verses in Peter use 2 different words to describe Noah and his family(=psykhai=souls) where as the spirits in prison (=pneumasin=spirits) which further supports the explanation about spiritual beings not human souls

  what does the word compel mean in matthew 5:41?jesus said on the sermon of the mount :" if someone in authority compels you into service for a mile, go with him two miles.

  how could anyone compel you to do such a thing ?

  read about the fascinating history of the word "aggareuein" and how that connects so diverse things such as persian couriers ,romans councelors and enforced labour.

  Bible Highlights(you won't hear at the Kingdom Hall ) :Numbers 17:8?

  by raymond frantz in

  2. bible

  i don't think the watchtower has dealt before at length with this verse .anyway this is my own research on this verse which corresponds with the bible highlights from the book of numbers .. the article considers the similarities between jesus and aaron as high priest.

  also a couple of verses from isaiah that are not often quoted at the kingdom hall .. what does the budding of aarons stuff symbolize in numbers 17:8?.

  Talks about "reaching out" to be an elder/ ministerial servant...Jehovah will use elders to guide us through the great tribulation;they will help us with life saving information...(judging from previous persecutions I.e. Russia they will all be in prison first

  Social media is too much interaction I suppose and greater exposure to "apostates" that populate these media.they sacrifice effectiveness in the name of absolute control
