Gen 6 - Destroying the Christian myth - The Apostles Creed. Compare Gen 6:1-3 & 1 Peter 3:18-20

Genesis chapter 6 is such an explosive chapter! The ties that this chapter has to the Brit Hadashah (New Testament) are astounding, but seldom found by theologians and teachers. This also demonstrates why it is so important to know the Torah. For instance, compare Gen 6:1-3 with 1 Peter 3:18-20. This is such a beautiful example.

Gen 6:1-3
Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, Gen 6:2 that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.

Gen 6:3
Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”

1 Peter 3:18-20
For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, in order that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

1 Peter 3:19
in which also He (the Spirit of the Father) went and made proclamation to the spirits (life’s breath) now in prison, (dead and buried deep in the earth by the flood)

1 Peter 3:20
who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water. You can clearly see they are both talking about the same thing! The classic interpretation of the Christian "way of thinking" is in their interpretation of 1 Peter 3:19. The claim is that "He," being Jesus, died and went to hell and made a proclamation to the spirits, the demons now in the demon dungeon or demon prison, and He made a proclamation to them for three days. After that He resurrected from the dead. Well, His body resurrected from the dead. How many of you all remember the Apostles Creed? I believe Jesus Christ my Lord, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilot, crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. Do you know where the "He descended into hell" came from? Believe it or not, it's 1 Peter 3:19! Allegedly this verse is saying that He went down to hell, where the demons were. These same the demons that were allegedly having sex with women before the flood in Genesis 6:2. He allegedly took them, put chains on them, and He bound him up in the demon dungeon, way down in the center of the Earth! The He allegedly went down to the demon dungeon after He died and did an end zone dance to taunt them for three days! Then His Spirit went back up in the tomb and then He resurrected, Any questions? That is the "Christian" interpretation of that passage as verified in the Apostles Creed. We are going to destroy that Christian myth and see the actual message from Peter in that passage.
