Geplaatst op 1 februari 2026 door Gezonde Woorden

Geplaatst op 29 januari 2026 door Gezonde Woorden

Geplaatst op 29 januari 2026 door Gezonde Woorden

Several expressions in Scripture contain the word aionios, the adjective of aion. An incorrect reading or translation of these texts creates a hopeless picture, because the age-bound is then interpreted as endless. Eternal fire, punishment, and judgmentAn example of such… Lees verder →

4. does eternal mean endless in the Bible? the different aeons

Geplaatst op 29 januari 2026 door Gezonde Woorden

“Aeonian times” are successive periods of aeons. In the Bible, these periods are distinguished because God fulfills His “purpose of the aeons” in them (Eph. 3:11). In other words, God works out His plan of salvation in the aeons. Different… Lees verder →

3. does eternal mean endless in the Bible? an aion is an age

Geplaatst op 29 januari 2026 door Gezonde Woorden

2. does eternal mean endless in the Bible? eternity is an incorrect translation for aion

Geplaatst op 29 januari 2026 door Gezonde Woorden

1. does eternal mean endless in the Bible?

Geplaatst op 29 januari 2026 door Gezonde Woorden

If the Bible teaches that the unbeliever will go to “eternal destruction” (2 Thessalonians 1:9) or “eternal judgment” (Hebrews 6:2), it is crucial whether this refers to a period of time with a beginning and an end, or rather to… Lees verder →
