DavidH, read Ephesians 2:1. Reconcile it with 1 Peter 4:5. Are they referring to the same thing, or to different things?
DAVEH: Very good, Perry. There is some evidence to support your beliefs......Thank you for sharing it!
In Peter 4:6, I believe that the 'dead' are those who are physically alive, but spiritually dead, not those who are physically dead.
DAVEH: What I have brought to this discussion is from the Bible. Though we read the same passages, we come to dramatically different conclusions. My curiosity is why you read some passages (like 4:6) so much differently than I do. Read vs 5.......
/Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead./
........Do you think Peter is speaking about the /spiritually dead/, when he mentioned the /quick and the dead/? If Peter was referring the physically dead in vs 5, then does it not follow that the dead in vs 6 are also /physically dead/? To me, it seems that inserting /spiritually dead/ is adding to Scripture. I am not condemning you for that, Perry......but, I would be interested to know if other TTers agree with you on that understanding......?
