I have a question for those who have good skills in Greek. I don't. In John 1:1 I have been taught that the word "was" ipf (strongs 2258) describes a continuous action in the PAST. In other words, "in the beginning CONTINUALLY WAS the Word, and the Word CONTINUALLY WAS with God, and the Word CONTINUALLY WAS God. But I also see that word "was" (strongs 2258) used in a number of other places that can't mean CONTINUALLY WAS in the PAST. See Acts 1:10,13,14,15 and 17 to name a few. Is there a connection with another verb or noun in John 1:1 that identifies this word "was" different than the way the word is used elsewhere in the scriptures?
Thanks, a new member to the board. I hope I have asked this question in the right place. In Christ, Roger
