Mathew 25:46 "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28791621


Both "eternal"s there are aionios, G166 in the Strong's concordance, which claims the word means

1) without beginning and end, that which always has been and always will be
2) without beginning
3) without end, never to cease, everlasting

despite the fact that Paul in Romans 16 uses this term within the phrase "since the word began" and again in 2 Timothy 1 and Titus 1. . .

[link to www.blueletterbible.org]

If aionios = eternity, then in Titus the phrase rightly should say "before the eternity began". Completely contradicts the official definition of being "endless" or "without beginning".

lol, once again you ignore all three distinct possible definitions.

The word, can mean

1) or 2) or 3) Do you know what the word 'or' means?

In the scripture you presented, the obvious definition is 3) without end.

This doesn't mean, it has to have a beginning

lol
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28791621


That's no different that the word aion, which the same concordance says means an "age", "world" or "eternity", in that they've provided a list of definitions that reflect however they used it, which is kind of backwards.
