I came per chance about this:

http://209.85.135.132/search?q=cache:IJY7bd_f2ToJ:www.openingmind.com/memcontris/Proposition94.doc+aidiothV&cd=1&hl=de&ct=clnk&gl=de

Every perpetuity (aidiotês) , on the one hand , is a certain Unlimitedness (apeiria),

Pasa aidiothV men estin tiV apeiria

pasa aidiotês men estin tis apeiria

or maybe every eternity is a certain infinity


Hence, That which is Primarily Unlimited (apeiria) Is Beyond Eternity (aiônos),

ara h prwth apeiria epekeina tou aiwnoV

ara ê prôtê apeiria epekeina tou aiônos

or maybe, that which is primarily infinite is beyond aiôn

it seems that infinity, apeiria goes beyond aiôn ("eternity")

in the Septuagint there is also eis ton aiôna kai epekeina - into the aiôn and further [or beyond] (Micah 4:5)

I don't know much Greek, might my interpretation is right, that aiôn is not infinite here, but that infinity (apeiria) goes beyond aiôn?

though I don't know which author had wrote that and if it has any relevance here

....ness sounds less than unlimted.

Even if that's true..... minute goes beyond second. But still minute is not infinite.

The article seems to be about infinte but uses several words that seem to weaken infinity.
1 Timothy 2:3-4  ...God our Savior;  Who will have all men to be saved...
John 12:47  And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Romans 4:5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous ...
