Answer:

denotative meanings of a word are the simplest definition of it,

while connotative meanings are more detailed and described with the feelings and emotions linked with that certain word. The meaning has a more personal and cultural point to it rather than just the basic meaning.

connotative words allow the readers/listeners to feel and picture what the speaker is trying to convey.

for example:

"Clique," means a group of people (denotative meaning), but it carries a negative connotation. This is because "clique" is typically used in circumstances where the group is known for excluding other people.(connotative meaning)

Likewise, "club" also refers to a group of people (denotative meaning), but this word has a more positive connotation because a club is a collection of people that voluntarily come together for a shared passion or purpose.(connotative meaning)

The theological name for the rescue of figures like Noah, Abraham and David by “a mighty One / Crowned with the symbol of his vi

lisov135 [29]

The correct answer is: The harrowing of hell.

Indeed, the main principle of Christianity is that the only way to be saved is by accepting Jesus Christ as one’s Savior. However, the problem of good people both Jewish and Gentile, who had lived and died long before Jesus came to earth remained. If they were good people, and especially if they were monotheistic believers in God, like Adam, Moses and Abraham how would it be fair for God to let them in hell for eternity? According to several verses in the New Testament, when Jesus was crucified and died, he went down to hell and rescued all these people.

A notable one is Peter 3:19-20: “19 in which also he went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison, 20 who in former times did not obey, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water.”
