Hi NS,

MY KJV bible cross-references
1Pet4:6 "For this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, ..."

with
1Pet3:19 "By which also he (Jesus) went and preached unto the spirits in prison",

and then this verse is cross-referenced to
Isaiah 42:7 "To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house."

Which leads me to believe that the dead are not literally dead, but spiritually dead. 

This word dead is translated from Greek #3498 nekros (which could be figuratively dead), and in other scripture (ie. Luke 8:53 "And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead") the word dead is translated from Greek #599 meaning to die off, be dead.

Anyone else?  I'd like to keep searching till we can find the truth and agree  ;).

Marie
