    And you have failed to carefully read what I said. I did not say that they had no sense of eternity. What as I was -- and I ask you to note carefully -- is that they had no sense of eternity as...

    All translations are, to some degree, interpretive. All simply to a degree. Some over-simplify. Aionios has a range of uses, centered around an age or era or eon (you can hear "eon" in the word). The...

    How one answers that would depend on what they conceive time to be. If one conceives of time as part of the time/space continuum, then time was created along with space and matter and therefore is...

    I don't know how common a phrasing it was. But the context also has much to do with the meaning of a word or phrase in a sentence. Words do really have a meaning by themselves, they have a semantic...

    If the meaning is essentially the same whether the author says it one way or another, I don't think the Holy Spirit necessarily has a preference. I don't subscribe to the "dictation" theory of...

    In the case of "predestination," I don't think Paul had in mind that God predestined specific individuals to something but that God predestined a certain class of people to something, namely, that...

    There are other ways of indicating "a long time ago." I don't know that there are ways that are necessarily simpler for Greek readers of speakers. Perhaps some idiomatic ways. In English, we have...

    And he does not say, "Tell us everything that is going to happen in the future." The test is not about omniscience but about power and authority. So in verse 23, "Tell us what the future holds, so we...

    Not apo but pro. Apo would mean more like "from" times eternal.

    "Before times eternal" is a legitimate way to translate it. Young's has it as "before times of ages." Wuest, "before eternal...

    When God is the referent of aionion, then it can refer to something that is everlasting. But that meaning derives from God as the referent, not from the meaning of the word on its own. Even with God...

    I already addressed that in an earlier post. Isaiah 41:21ff does not set a limit, nor does it say it is limitless. That is not the point of Isaiah 41. God can tell what he is going to do; something...

    Yes, there are standards, and if a fallen brother repents and meets those standards, he can be restored to ministry. God's standards do not prohibit restoration.
