1Pet.3:18-20; Jesus preached to angels in prison from flood times, to save them?

Angels can not be saved, but rather ministering celestial spirits sent by God to serve those who will inherit salvation. Hebrews 1:14  \n\nBased on the scriptures above: Jude 6; 2Pet.2:4; Luke 20:34-36; Job 38:4-7; 1Cor.6:3,4; and Matt.25:41 You learn that some angels are now demons who are eternally damned; that once we die physically, we are similar to the angels in that we can no longer marry or be saved; angels do not die physically as humans do; angels do not face judgment but rather they will be there at the time of judgment\n\n1Pet 3:18-20 is a very difficult passage, but it seems to refer to Jesus preaching his victory to the angels, not a preaching message that would then lead to salvation

Matthew 25:38-40    \n\n"When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? \n\nOr when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? \n\nAnd the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

The lord God helped Noah gather the animals of the world he did not do it alone.He wouldn't have had enough time.Do you believe in miracles?It was God's gift to the people not to destroy the world but to cleanse it.Why do you think we have rainbows after a storm.He asked us to forgive him.

Matthew 27:24-26\n\n24  ¶ When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands Deut. 21.6-9 before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.\n \n25  Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.\n \n26  Then released he Barab'bas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.\n====================================================\nDueteronomy 21:6-7\n\n6  and all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:\n \n7  and they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.\n \nYes, it was Our Lords own brethren that put Him to death..but Praise the Lord..He rose again and He now sits at the right hand of the Father..Amen!!

That is a fantastic question... Moses gave us the law. The law was giveing to man that he might find out that he could not live up to it. now God is righteous so he could not look upon sin. So at the time of Moses God allowed sacrificeces to be made thes sacrifices were a temporary solution and they reflected Gods plan to save mankind... as often a lamb was used.Now the way for a permanant salvation could only come from God... understand that the angels had turned on God the angels were creation so like man the angels were falable all things crated by God were falable while they may have at one time been perfect they could corrupt as did Lucifer..,. God ned someone who was not creation to be the sacrifice for man.So God came to earth in the form of man This man was Jesus the son of God... he was a part of our father in heaven he was not creation... he was God. Jesus came from heavin to be tempted by Satan to overcome sin. and then to die for all of our sins one time and forever.Jesus was the Lamb of God and the only one who could save us from sin.

Deu 20:17 But thou shall utterly destroy them, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, ( all adversary's of God) as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee.....  Deu20:18 That they teach you not to do after all their abominations (disgusting acts), which they have done unto their gods (fallen angels), so should ye sin against the Lord your God.....All these "ites" are descendants of fallen angels and daughters of men. Satan's own race of people. If you read Gen 6:1-4...You can read about them here. The sons of God are fallen angels, who left their estate, and followed Satan, and became wicked. They chose women out of god's beings ( as angels are always male), to produce children for Satan.( His own race of people), That's why God brang a flood upon the earth, to destroy them. But even after the flood they continued these abominations, because in Gen 6:4 it says There were  giants ( tyrants- produced by the fallen angels) in those days (before the flood) and also after that (after the flood) etc., etc. So what the Bible calls, The sword of The Lord  came about, at God's command to utterly destroy these people. The men, their wives, and even their children. So that's why there was so much killing in the old testament. Many will say this is not true, because Jesus said in the new testament, " that angels do not marry" in heaven Matt.22:30 and Mar.12:25. But if you read it carefully, Jesus said " in the ressurection (heaven), angels do not marry. These wicked angels left their estate to follow Satan. They are no longer from heaven. These people have been completely destroyed by God and God's people by The Sword of The Lord. The fallen angels, (by God), have been put in chains of darkness, and cast down to hell, to be reserved until judgment. 2 Peter 2:4. notice in this verse the words, "the angels that sinned."  They have no ressurection. Isaiah 26: 13-14. We need to praise God that these evil angels are no longer with us, but the adversary (Satan) still roams the earth waiting to see who he can devour (tempt).  1 Peter 5:8

If God wanted to save us He had to send a perfect man to take all of our sins. \nlisten to May 1 - 2 Jesus: A Birth Like None Other \n@ http://www.insight.org/broadcast/archives.asp\nit will explain more clearly than i can.

In I. corinthians 6:3 Paul the Apostle asks by-the-way "Did you know we shall judge angels?" - while he debates why it is not appropriate for christians to go to judgment court with other believers. \n\nI think Apostle Paul deducted this from the fact that, after man being created as lower as the angels, if he is redeemed - through Jesus Christ - belongs to the family of God, who is above angels, thus entitled to judge the angels.

I think originates from bible times can't remember what scripture exactly it's about the man in the mountain that had all those demons everyone was afraid to pass that way he called out to jesus they were called legion for they were many Jesus cast the demons out and they ask him permission to go into a herd of swine that was feeding on the hill he let them and all the swine rushed down to the sea near by and drown i guess they still don't believe all the swine drowned.

hee hee - no don't think so! In the bible visions always come as a response to a difficult time - the Christians were being persecuted in a big way so God gave John these visions to say to these persecuted Christians "Look, its all going to be sorted out - keep trusting" (i paraphrase, obviously!)

"For if he were not expecting that those who had fallen would rise again, it would have been superfluous and foolish to pray for the dead. But if he was looking to the splendid reward that is laid up for those who fall asleep in godliness, it was a holy and pious thought. Therefore he made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin" (2 Macc. 12:44-45). \n\n"Make friends quickly with your accuser, while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison; truly, I say to you, you will never get out till you have paid the last penny" (Matt. 5:25-26). \n\n"Each man’s work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire" (1 Cor. 3:13-15). \n\n"For Christ also died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit; in which he went and preached to the spirits in prison, who formerly did not obey . . ." (1 Peter 3:18-20). \n\n"But nothing unclean shall enter it [heaven] . . ." (Rev. 21:27).\n\n\nNote: If you attempt to use a Protestant Bible to find the Second Maccabees verse, you will come up short, because Protestant reformers (such as Luther) has this book removed (as well as a few others) because of its reference to Purgatory.

Dear biloxi_missi...,  I will use the Word of God to sincerely and  honestly answer this question.  St. Matthew Chapter 24:verse27   \n" For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west ; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.\nverse 36 ; But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

It was just natural for people who didn't fully understand Jesus' Messianic mission, to run for safety. They could not imagine anything beyond a physical kingdom with the Messianic King in power. Jesus' crucifixion was a death blow to their hopes. But, His resurrection changed the whole thing around. Jesus appeared to them, assured them of His abiding presence, commissioned them to continue His mission of seeking and saving the lost, and empowered them with the His Spirit. He opened their eyes to see the kingdom of God portrayed in the Scriptures, which He taught. That was the turning point. The real touch of the Spirit of God from above transforms people inside out. This is the same thing that's happening even today. However, the substitutionary death and victorious resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ had to take place for this to take effect.

In Matthew 27:42\n\n"He saved others, but he can't save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.\n\nThat's the closest I can find.\n\nYou probably typed in the wrong statement?
