Even a simpleton knows that.
It's called a TESTIMONY. Get yourself one.
No the bible calls that boasting in ones own self-righteous works, which is condemned as an act of the flesh.
Php 3:3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4 ¶ Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 ¶ And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

Amen to that.
We know b/c it is plainly revealed in His word: "The wages of sin is death" and that's what Jesus suffered, is it not? Aionios, according to Strong, "means Duration: either undefined, but not endless OR undefined because endless" and since we know that the word is translated several times to mean NOT eternal, we must accept that.
Your just wrong and do not understand and seem to have no desire to gain understanding.
You're Satanic pride and arrogance has failed you yet again. Did I once say that I endured that trial in my own strength, or did I acknowledge God as the One in Whom I trusted?
Ok, let me see if you make sense: My penalty is eternal torment. Jesus took my penalty upon Himself, yet He was not eternally tormented. Yeah, sounds legit.
You are still in error in your thinking and religion. Jesus,s sacrifice for mans sins are eternal. It required an eternal being to pay forever mans sins. "After Jesus he had made one sacrifice for ever sat down on the right hand of God." This why his sacrifice does not need to be repeated every year because it was a once for all eternal sacrifice. That is if you believe Jesus is eternal. Jesus,s sacrifice is not a timed event which runs out after a certain time frame.

33 And with many such parables He spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it.
34 But without a parable He did not speak to them. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples.
(Mar 4:33-34 NKJ)
What bad choices would they be?
If you are referring to Jesus teaching large numbers of people, he spoke to them in parables. When he was speaking about Lazarus he was speaking directly to the Pharisees. In this instance Jesus was not using parables, but speaking directly to them so they for sure would know exactly what he was saying to them.
Luk 16:14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
Luk 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
Luk 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
Luk 16:17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
Luk 16:18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
(none of these are parables)
Luk 16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
Luk 16:20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
Luk 16:21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
Luk 16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
Luk 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Luk 16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
Luk 16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
Luk 16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
Luk 16:27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
Luk 16:28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
Luk 16:29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
Luk 16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
Luk 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
You boasted in your own righteousness...plain and simple!
He is the Beginning and the End, He is the Alpha and Omega...He is the great I AM! Of course He has all power to take ALL punishment for those who are justified in Him....HE IS GOD!
Your just trying to play word games with words you have no understanding of!
I thought Christianity was having faith in Jesus? Now it's about not feeling guilty or fearful? But what if I am?
There is no fear in love, because perfect love casts out fear. Guilt is either a sign of unconfessed sin or the Devil trying to bring condemnation on you. God has not given to you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. If you are feeling any of these things then you need to examine your self to see weather or not you are holding to the faith. Rebuke the spirit of fear, it is not part of the Holy Spirit's fruit. Take authority over the things that are coming against you with the Word of God. Resist the Devil and he will flee from you.
Hi, I was trying to find this reference, I'm looking at 'Strong’s Hebrew and Greek Dictionaries
Dictionaries of Hebrew and Greek Words taken from Strong's Exhaustive Concordance by James Strong, S.T.D., LL.D., 1890." Is that the right reference?
I use the "complete Word study" It is the best I have seen anywhere. At the bottom of this is the opposite meaning of the word. It is labeled "Ant"
G165
αἰών
aiṓn; gen. aiṓnos, masc. noun. Age, referring to an age or time in contrast to kósmos (G2889), referring to people or space. Denotes duration or continuance of time, but with great variety.
(I) Age, an indefinitely long period or lapse of time, perpetuity, ever, forever, eternity.
(A) Spoken of time future in the following phrases: (1) Eis tón aiṓna (eis [G1519] into, unto; tón [G3588], the; aiṓn [G165], age), forever, without end, to the remotest time (Mar_11:14; Luk_1:55; Joh_6:51, Joh_6:58; Joh_8:35; Joh_12:34; Joh_13:8; Joh_14:16; 1Co_8:13; Heb_5:6, Heb_5:21; 1Pe_1:25; 2Jn_1:2); spoken of Christ (Heb_6:20; Heb_7:17; Heb_7:24, Heb_7:28); spoken of the blessedness of the righteous (Joh_6:51, Joh_6:58; 2Co_9:9; 1Jn_2:17; 2Pe_2:17); of the punishment of the wicked (Jud_1:13). With a neg., meaning never (Mat_21:19; Mar_3:29; Joh_4:14; Joh_8:51-52; Joh_10:28; Joh_11:26; Sept.: Deu_29:29; Isa_28:28; Isa_40:8; Isa_51:6, Isa_51:8; Jer_50:39). Eis hēméran aiṓnos (eis [G1519], unto; hēméran [G2250], day), of the age, meaning forever. See also Sept.: Exo_14:13; Isa_13:20. (2) The phrase eis toús aiṓnas, unto the ages, meaning ever, forever, to all eternity (Mat_6:13; Luk_1:33; Rom_16:27; Heb_13:8), spoken of God (Rom_1:25; Rom_9:5; Rom_11:36; 2Co_11:31); of Christ (Luk_1:33 as explained by the statement "of His kingdom there shall be no end"; Heb_13:8; Sept.: Psa_77:8). (3) The phrase eis toús aiṓnas tṓn aiṓnōn, unto the ages of the ages, being an intens. form meaning forever and ever (2Ti_4:18; Heb_13:21; 1Pe_4:11; Rev_1:6, Rev_1:18; Rev_4:9-10; Rev_5:13; Rev_7:12; Rev_10:6; Rev_11:15; Rev_15:7; Rev_19:3; Rev_20:10; Rev_22:5). Spoken of God (Gal_1:5; Php_4:20; 1Ti_1:17; 1Pe_5:11). Without the art. eis aiṓnas aiṓnōn, unto the ages of the ages (Rev_14:11). Also in the expression eis pásas tás geneás toú aiṓnos tṓn aiṓnōn (pása, the fem. pl. of pás [G3956], every, all; geneás [the acc. pl. of geneá {G1074}, generation]) as in Eph_3:21 meaning throughout all ages and literally unto all generations of the age of the ages. Spoken of Christ (2Pe_3:18; Rev_1:18; Rev_5:13; Rev_11:15); of the blessedness of the saints (Rev_22:5); of the punishment of the wicked (Rev_14:11; Rev_19:3; Rev_20:10). In the Sept. the phrase eis aiṓna aiṓnos, literally means unto the age of the age (Psa_19:9; Psa_110:3, Psa_110:10).
(B) Spoken of time past as ap’ aiṓnos apó (apó [G575], from), meaning of old, from everlasting (Luk_1:70; Act_3:21; Act_15:18). Apó tṓn aiṓnōn meaning from the ages (Eph_3:9; Col_1:26). Also ek toú aiṓnos ou (ek [G1537], from; ou [G3756], not) meaning literally from the ages not, i.e., never (Joh_9:32); pró tṓn aiṓnōn (pró [G4253], before) literally from the ages, meaning before time began, from eternity (1Co_2:7). See also Gen_6:4; Psa_90:2; Jer_2:20; Sept.: Psa_55:19).
(II) With the meaning of the world or the people that live at a certain time. Aiṓn is to be distinguished from kósmos (G2889), world, which refers to people. Aiṓn also is to be distinguished from oikouménē (G3625), the inhabited earth.
(A) This world and the next. (1) As implying duration (Mat_12:32, "neither in this world nor the next" [a.t.], meaning never) (Mar_10:30; Luk_18:30). (2) The present world, with its cares, temptations, and desires; the idea of evil, both moral and physical, being everywhere implied (Mat_13:22; Luk_16:8; Luk_20:34; Rom_12:2; 1Co_1:20; 1Co_2:6, 1Co_2:8; 2Ti_4:10; Tit_2:12). Hence this world is called aiṓn ponērós (G4190), evil, meaning evil world (Gal_1:4). Satan is called the "god of this world" (2Co_4:4; Sept.: Ecc_3:11). (3) By metonymy, the men of this world, wicked generation, and so forth (Eph_2:2). Huioí toú aiṓnos toútou (huioí, the pl. of huiós [G5207], son; toútou [G5127], of this) sons of this generation, the people of this world (Luk_16:8; Luk_20:34). (4) By metonymy, the world itself as an object of creation and existence (Mat_13:40; Mat_24:3; 1Ti_1:17; Heb_1:2; Heb_11:3).
(B) Spoken in reference to the advent of the Messiah, meaning age: (1) The age or world before the Messiah, the Jewish dispensation (1Co_10:11, "the ends of the world"). (2) The age or world after the Messiah, the gospel dispensation, the kingdom of the Messiah (Eph_2:7; Heb_6:5; see also Heb_2:5).
Deriv.: aiō̄́nios (G166), eternal.
Syn.: geneá (G1074), generation, the people of a certain period of time; hēlikía (G2244), the age or height of an individual; hēméra (G2250), day or period of time. For the various prep. phrases with aiō̄́n, see aeí (G104), forever, always.
