Meaning in its translation is just a diversion, it's about meaning in its usage.

And post #542 demonstrates precisely what the NT means in its usage of aionios.

Feel free to Biblically demonstrate any error.

I note two things in your post #542:

1. You say "scripture" as if there is only one, but the Holy Bible in English is not so monolithic. I have a copy of Young's Literal Version, and it uses "age-during" or "age long" instead of "for ever" and similar wording. Young was no slacker. Many Bible versions do not contain the word "hell," either.

2. Your #542 would be better if it dealt with "aionios" in Greek, rather than discussing it all in English.

Nothing is demonstrated until it is done so point by point from Scripture.

Everything else is just shuffling and diversion from doing so.

The video demonstrates it point by point from the scripture. You'd know that if you watched it.

Nope, you did.
I say that rule is from the office, was enacted a long, long time ago, and you must check with the office before you can say definitely that it's no longer in force.

None of which alters the NT meaning of aionios clearly seen in its indisputable usage.

It could mean "leather" in the Greek, but if the NT demonstratedly uses it for "water,"
then "water" is its meaning in the NT. . .and arguing that its real meaning is "leather" is pointless.

If I make a false assumption, you should correct it, rather than deflecting. Your deflection indicates that I was correct.
The indication of deflection is in the eye of the beholder.
The video you apparently didn't watch covers that.
I'm addressing his post, not the video.

If that is in the video, then I have also addressed the video, and effectively, I might add.

So what was the question I didn't answer? I'll be happy to do so.
You're liking this, aren't you?

So I'll oblige you. How long do we want to keep it going?

Therefore, check the record. . .

Not really, no.
