And who wrote the comment in the margin of the RSV and why is it not supported by any other accredited scholar? Your arguments about "even needed""may no longer serve any purpose" are irrelevant. The question you have to ask yourself is will Jesus ever lose the title of High Priest?yet that One, because of His remaining for the eon, has an inviolate priesthood (Heb.7:24, CLV)
Untransmissable is not necessarily eternal:
"hath an unchangeable priesthood] Rather, “hath his priesthood unchangeable” (sempiternum, Vulg.) or perhaps “untransmissible;” “a priesthood that doth not pass to another,” as it is rendered in the margin of our Revised Version."
Will the office of priesthood be even needed or last forever? If not, then it will cease & aion in this verse cannot refer to an endless duration. After God becomes "all in all" (1 Cor.15:28) priesthood may no longer serve any purpose. Likewise with kings (cf. 1 Tim.1:17 above).
Actually I have refuted, invalidated, negated, controverted and otherwise disproved your arguments in virtually every post and I have done so from scripture not canned arguments copy/pasted from anonymous websites.My unrefuted opinion which, along with my other statements, have debunked your aion/ios olam theory in several different ways. And your second statement is a strawman; nobody said it wasn't important.
.....This morning I had a sudden inspiration. In Ex 3:15, God, Himself, establishes the meaning of the Hebrew word עולם/Olam.
Exodus 3:15.
(15) And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, [עולם/Olam] and this is my memorial [לדר דר/l'dor dor. From generation generation.]
"Olam" clearly means forever. God paired "olam" with "my memorial [לדר דר/l'dor dor.] From generation generation." The generations of God's people will never end. God said it, I believe it, that settles it.(15) And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, [עולם/Olam] and this is my memorial [לדר דר/l'dor dor. From generation generation.]
.....After a little review I find that the Hebrew of vs. 15 reads לדר דר/l'dor dor. From generation generation. It does not say "unto" generation.
