Talk:Spirits in prison

Merge
The titles of the two articles Spirits in prison & Spirit prison are just slight grammatical nuances, but the material on the articles are (&/or should be) about the same general topic, even though each may represent a differing perspective based on which faith uses one term over the other. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 20:31, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Hello 208.81.184.4 (talk) I'm not sure that's the case. I'm not greatly familiar with Mormonism but it seems from Google Books at least that "spirit prison" is a subcategory of Mormon views on "the Spirit world" wheras the term "spirits in prison" is simply general Christian commentary on a NT passage from Augustine or earlier onwards. So the actual redirect should be to the Spirit world (Latter Day Saints), and the spirits in prison material extracted to the generic NT article. Having said that Joseph Smith appears to have used the latter as the starting point for the former so the two should be wikilinked.In ictu oculi (talk) 01:04, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

After seeing what you did with taking out the non-LDS specific material on Spirit prison & adding it to Spirits in prison, I see how that does work better. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 22:22, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I have added Grudem's "five views". No doubt there are others. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:35, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Etymology
Possibly, the use of the Greek term pneu masin in Achristian perspective may be linked to the reincarnation of uncorporeal and invisble angels instead of the human soul. The latter is traditionally believed to have a unique earthly life in order to get itself saved in Paradise. The book of Tobit revealed that St Raphael the Archangel was incarnated into a human body, even if it doesn't mention anytime the event or the theoretical possibility of an angelic reincarnation.Micheledisaveriosp (talk) 23:29, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
