Ah, the conscience, one can always rely on his conscience...

Jer 17:9 "The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?


Where does Paul say heart in that passage? Paul very clearly says CONSCIENCE,you know that little thing that tells you done something wrong even when one is an UNBELIEVER. You know that thing that people pay a lot of money in therapy to deal with?
 
In reference to the OP and the two following it, I point to this verse.

For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. (Rom 5:13 NKJV)

yes all were condemned before the law , but there was an unwritten Law from heaven that enoch 7 th from adam found it and was taken to heaven . but generally yes sin was not imputeth before law but all were condemed and some were in prison till the descention of Jesus into the earth where he preached to the souls and freed them..

I think you are not reading this in a completely correct way. They were freed when the curtain was split that happened at the moment Christ died. That was because when that happened the atonement they had before that was not the perfect atonement for sin that atonement was in Christ. If you will check, with your concordance, all the scripture in the OT regarding death never says that physical death resulted in living with Jesus, although they had atonement before Jesus. It mentions they are asleep, for instance. Now, with Christ completing and perfecting atonement, they are alive in Christ, just as we are. They weren't in prison, there is no mention of prison, but lots of mention of being asleep. Those who died in their sin without atonement were never spoken of as asleep.
 
18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;

20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
 
There is a law you must study is the law of liberty or the law of the spirit in christ the two different names but same law
 
4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
