Hello,

I am wondering if you have The Complete Word Study by Spiros Zodhiates? If so, I am curious what he say about aion and aionios.

Thank you!

I do have Spiros Zodhiates Hebrew/Greek Study Bible. It has Strongs concordence and many helps. If you could tell me what scripture verses you are looking at, I could look them up and get back to you. This may not be the book you are referring to, but it's  the one I have.

The Greek aion and aionios belong to age or eon, never mean endless like eternal, everlasting, etc. I am looking for what Zodhiates say of this, whether he support aion/aionios belong to eternal or age. I plan to buy them but I wanted see what he say of aion/aionios. If he say that it is eternal, then I am not interesting buy them. I am looking for sincerely scholars.

You can look in John 3:16 and Philemon 1:15, they have aionios in verses. Let me know what they say of Greek.

I appreciate your help!

shibboleth:
Hi Brett,
I just got done looking up everlasting on e-sword and it's number 166most of the time, and 126 sometimes. Spiros doesn't comment on everlasting but he does believe in hell.  Here are his comments on Luke16:20 about the rich man and Lazarus. "From all evidence, Lazarus was suffering from leprosy and had wounds which were open and visible, licked by the dogs. The idea that the Lord wanted to convey is that no person, who on seeing dogs showing a greater compassion toward a helpless animal than he himself and remains indifferent deserves heaven or is in any stretch of the imagination a believer."

This Bible I have by Zodhiates was published in 1984. But, unless he has changed his mind he believes in a hell of torment.

I find it strange that he could say anyone deserves heaven. I certainly don't. And I really don't if it's based on my works, which are filthy rags according to Christ.

Brett:
Hi shibboleth

Yeah, I see what you mean. There are no Hell in Greek manuscript anywhere. Seem like Zodhiates believe aion/aionios is not eternal but believe in Hell.

Really, Hell for Greek word is Hades which mean unseen, unknown, no experience, etc. Rich man and Lazarus were parable, not literal.

And about Heaven, there are no mentions of people go to heaven in scriptures. (Resurrection will be on earth).

So, is Zodhiates saying about the people who go to Hell for age/eon and not for eternal?

Did he mention of aion/aionios despite of everlasting? If so, did he say of age, eon or period of time?
