Aionios mistranslated as "eternal" or "everlasting" in Matthew 25:46. All these verses below use the same NT Greek word, "aionios", the Greek word mistranslated as "eternal" or "everlasting" in Matthew 25:46. See bold below. This shows that "aionios" cannot mean eternal or everlasting...

Aion again. [

For how long? (doesn't say) Mark 9:49 NIV Everyone will be salted with fire. Malachi 3:2 NIV But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap. [
