Part 88 of the David Pawson 'Unlocking the Bible' Podcast series
David Pawson shows that Peter is teaching what various aspects of true submission are. He also gives advice to wives to win their unbelieving husbands. David sees that Peter is advising his readers on good attitudes which will stand them in good stead when severe persecution comes. David quotes a friend: ‘If you are faithful in the little battles now, he will give you the grace when the big crunch comes.’ Peter reveals what Jesus did while his body was in the tomb. While the first letter is preparing the people for persecution from outside the church, the second letter of Peter emphasizes dangers within the church. When life is easy, people become materialistic but under persecution the church grows. Heresy is a subtle pressure. David says there were four symptoms of disease within the church: A corrupt Creed – their beliefs were being changed. Corrupt Conduct as a result of the first. Corrupt Character so that they became ‘more animal than human’, operating by base instincts – greedy and lustful. Corrupt Conversation – grumbling, rebellion. Peter shows how to grow in character and maturity.

David recorded two series : Life after Death .......and Heaven and ........if you search you will find them. You can listen to the audio or read his books for free online Jesus gave some detailed teaching on life after death - he said to the Thief on the cross ”this very day you will be with me in paradise” NOT heaven .... search the scriptures and your understanding may change

When Christ lived on Earth he was not omnipresent but after his death on the cross his Spirit went down into the belly of the earth to preach to those who died in the time of Noah - but his physical body was left in the tomb until the day of resurrection

I would like to know from Pawson how explains the teaching in the Bible where it says that Christ RESTED in the tomb on the Sabbath!? How is this even possible if He is supposedly running around preaching to a dead generation. Such absolute NONSENSE!

Giving a chance to just one generation (while they are dead) is absolute rubbish and unBiblical. There is a time for questions to be answered and that time according to the Bible is during the Millennium! Then according to Revelation the books will be opened and the righteous will have an opportunity to go through the records, and see that how God judged - was righteous and fair. There was absolutely no reason for Christ to make a special trip to so call preach to the dead.

Christ died on Friday and NOT on Wednesday! This is easily explained. The Jews counted part of a day as a whole day! Part of Friday is the first day, then the entire Sabbath (Saturday) is the second day, and then early on Sunday morning is the third day!

What absolute rubbish is this!!! Preaching to the dead!!! Have you ever heard of such absolute rubbish! Is this Catholocism?? The Bible PLAINLY teaches that when you die, your thoughts perish! You do not communicate at all! That you return to dust and you cease to exist - in body and spirit! Also, there can be no second chance after death - so what would be the point in preaching to the dead?
