John 8:35,
Quote:
|
And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
|
How long does the Son abide?
Ever: from the Greek word
aion, meaning "an age, a cycle (of time), especially of the present age as contrasted with the future age, and of one of a series of ages stretching to infinity", the Greek (LXX) equivalent to the Hebrew word
olam, meaning "an unbroken age, perpetuity of time, eternity"
See:

Compare to
John 6:51 and
John 6:58, which uses the same Greek word for "for ever" as in:
"...he shall live for ever..." and "...shall live for ever..." respectively.
See:

https://biblehub.com/interlinear/john/6-58.htm
So, if anyone wants to argue
aion should only mean "age" in
John 8:35, then please convince us that
aion doesn't mean "age" in
John 6:51 and 58.
Same with
Matthew 6:13, that the kingdom, power, and glory of God the Father only endures for an "age".
