Have another look ot Heb 4:14
Jesus passed through the heavens?
Can this be tied into 1 Peter 3:19 and does this also relate to Romans 10:6,7?
vickster.
Hear ya!
What does "pass through" mean in Greek? Is it like passing through Kansas to get to New York? Or, is it like he origionated from Heaven, and passed through it, or out of it, to be in our dimention.
Either way, it appears that Jesus has the ability to be
multi-dimentional at will, even able to speak to the fallen angles in Hell.
Multi dimensional is exactly how I would put it.
Hi Vicky... am I JW of Florida?
The word at Hebrews 4:14 is ournous or sky. My take is that he left earth's atmosphere before the eyes of his apostles. But that's just an opinion.
As for 1 Peter 3:20; I don't think that the word ekeruxen really should be translated as preached. It is really an obscure, difficult word that some have translated as proclaimed. So, could this preaching or proclaiming to the "imprisoned spirits" have been the "heavens or sky?" I don't know, but it's a thought.
Romans 10: 6, 7??? Confusing statement to me there.
Your friend and brother,

Speaking of multi-dimentional, reminded me of a great PBS show we had here in the U.S. a few years back.
It was a documentory about research into what they call the "string theory". They showed how, on the sub-atomic level, muti-dimentional existance is possible. Basically, everything in the universe is made up of "strings" of pure energy vibrating at differing frequencies.
If you get a chance watch it, science has finally advanced enough to the point where they have proven the existance of God. Although they stopped short of saying it, it was evident to me that many of the researchers seemed to have realized this.
Rom.1:20 "For His invisible qualities are clearly seen from the worlds creation onward, because they are perseived by the things made, even His eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable."
I wish I could get a copy of that documentary for my library. They offered one at the time, but I was broke. Argh!
Keep pondering, Jayme
I found the Elegant Universe, interesting.

People like Maxwell were amazing. Taking the field of magnetism and combining it with the field of electricity and coming up with the speed of light was amazing.
Please note electrons do not 'orbit' the nucleus, this is a made up idea.
Atom is Greek. A-tome means uncuttable (tome to cut) but we can break atoms but not without them loosing their specific identities.
String Theory is like a grand cosmic orchestra.
We could be living on a giant membrane.
Unfortuanately parts two and three of the videos etc. are now repetative
