TERRY
Berne, you have said the Bible does not refer to God as eternal, yet
it calls him the King of eternity, (1 Timothy 1:17)  now you appear to
be saying that time does not exist.  What do you mean by this?

Revgaud
Actually Terry, it doesn't *exactly* say that. The English word
"eternal" in the NT is from the Greek word "aio_n", which has a
variety of meanings. It can stand for a short, but indeterminate
period of time or a very long period of time. It is not, strictly
speaking, of infinite time. It sometimes has a lot to do with the
quality of time, rather than the quantity. Compare the KJV wirh the
other two versions I've quoted below.


TERRY
I was quoting from the KJV and the NWT which says eternal/eternity, I am
not really interested in debating this.  I feel very confident that the
Bible speaks of God as eternal.  What I wanted to know was, what Berne
meant by time not being proven.  He responded back  and kind of explained,
but I am still now quite sure about it.


have a nice day
Terry
