My position has always been that the meaning of the Greek word aeonian is contextual. Its meaning is dependent on use. In the Bible it is used the same way the Hebrew used the word Olam. Both words can mean either a limited or an unlimited timeframe as well as other things. I provided references from scholars to support my position. You on the other hand have only made bare assed assertions that it means what you say it means, and the rest of the world is wrong. I’m sorry to tell you kiddo, but that just isn’t the way this shit works. You can either back up your claims, or you can continue to look stupid.
You provided circular reasoning and the sad part is that you acknowledged what you thought aeonian meant before you went off on your rotund jaunt around biblical "scholars"...
But anyways, you backed up my claim nicely, thank you.
Quote:According to Merriam-Webster it means lasting for an immeasurably or indefinitely long period of time.
Could you explain to me how any "period of time" equates to eternity?
