the wrath of God

[setst777]

I have seen your specious arguments before. Your "tall" argument in nonsensical. The Intellectually challenged might think like that. If you have some cogent research about something post it here. I am not interested in what you say you might have read somewhere. All your arguments are moot. The very few times "olam" refers to something that is not and cannot be "eternal" are easily shown to be figurative. I also have a study of all the occurrences of "olam" in the O.T.

the wrath of God

In the Chart I provided, and of which you responded to regarding "ainion," not once is God described as eternal. All the uses of eternal regard God's promises to us. Are you saying that all of the 71 times that "ainion" is used does not mean eternal? As for your claim without evidence: You...

Does עולם/olam mean eternal or not?

Some members @ CF claim that עולם/olam never means eternal. In response , I reviewed every occurrence of olam in the OT. I found 47 forty-seven vss. which define/describe olam as eternal/everlasting by juxtaposition with adjectives or descriptive phrases. Here are 10 of the 47 verses. [1]...

Very true. "Olam" [‘ō-w-lām] (noun masculine singular) is the main word used to describe God as "everlasting." Out of 208 occurrences in the OT for the Hebrew word “‘ō-w-lām” used, 204 occurrences translates ‘ō-w-lām as everlasting, perpetual, ever, always, forever, and forevermore, or some other permanent or unchanging way. Only 4 times is ‘ō-w-lām translated as “from of old,” but only because the context limits its use within a restricted parameter: For instance, a time frame is understood within the context.

Why don’t you answer my question directly is olam / aionios an adjective or not? If it is , is tall an adjective if so how are the two not the same if tall has a range why does olam/ aionios not follow the same rule?

Olam is a noun and is masculine singular. Aionios is an adjective accusative singular, and could act as masculine, feminine, or neuter depending on the noun form it modifies.

I did already. Yes both Olam and Aionios are adjectives. Tall itself does not have a range.
Nobody with an IQ above room temperature thinks the silliness you mentioned about "tall."
I have shown you repeatedly where "aionios" is defined/described in the NT as eternal 24 times. "Aionios" is translated "world" figuratively only two times. "Aionios" is never defined/described as a period less than eternal. Instead of repeating that nonsense about "tall" read my posts and show me where anything I said is incorrect.

Good. Now show me where Josiah said that? It ain't in the Bible. You are the one that is not careful, choosing questionable sources because they support your assumptions/presuppositions. Did you even bother to read the sources I posted, with links, which included archaeological evidence? There...

Well if you don’t understand that tall has a range, a tall man 7 feet a tall mountain 12000 feet , I have no idea what my IQ is but I do know that a 7 foot man is not the same height as a 12000 foot mountain.

And last time I checked the adjective tall never had that connotation. Maybe, just maybe, someone with diminished capacity might think, if they heard someone say a tall man standing in front of a tall building they were both the same height. But anyone with the mental capacity to do what we are doing, no way. I can understand the difference in more than one language. If you want to continue this absurd digression. Go find a Greek grammar,
