Eternal afterlife

[Haipule]

Technically, the idea of "eternal" is nonsensical. Biblically, it is the Greek adjective aiOnios and should have been translated: breath-being-belonging-to-him/her/it. Such as zOEn aiOnion in John 3:16, translated "eternal life", should have been translated: zOE-life(feminine), breath-being-belonging-to-her.

It's talking about a here and now potential and not some 'eternity'.

ai = breath
On = being as in existence
aiOn refers to an unspecified length of time (breath-being) including the present. It is sometimes erroneously translated as "world"
ios = belonging-to with the "i" also making it an adjective

Greek words are a root such as 'ai' with the rest of the alphabet soup being the grammatical infection. In Greek every letter is important.

Sorry, I have NO IDEA why people preach what they preach when it is not biblical. To be fair to the bible, ALL theology is NOT biblical! Yet, they teach theology as "truth". Theology is ecclesiastical nonsense perpetuated by a clergy!

Um.....

So all of these experts are wrong and YOU are right, huh?

Hyper-Literal(same verse): For(assigning a reason) thusly He-agapaO-loves*, thee God, thee kosmos-world even-as-and-also thee Son of-Him-same, namely--thee uniquely-begotten-One, He-gives* that(purpose) any thee one-keeps-on-trusting(not one decision but a continuous attitude of trust) into Him-same no he-might-be(acting upon himself--stupidly)-be-rendered-useless (IOW, Keep on trusting and you can't screw it up) but-rather he-might-be(and keep on)-having zOE-life(feminine), breath-being-belong-to-her(right here, right now). John 3:16

It's quite beautiful in the Greek. Theology doesn't honor the Greek. Theology only honors theology. They manipulate the Greek with high sounding manipulative grammar tools in their bag of tricks to teach their theologic prejudice of what those words MUST mean.

If they translate it that way then they will have a difficult time with:

Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 1 John 3:15 NASB

Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you(-all) know that no murderer has eternal(breath-being-belonging-to-her) (zOE-)life(feminine) abiding(making its home) in him (right here, right now). 1 John 3:15 NASB

We can now file that tricky verse in the !DUH! file.
