1. He is walking to work - present tense walking means he is currently or regularly walking to work. By that It could be the answer to two different questions. How is he getting to work these days? or What is he doing at the moment?
2. He is tall - this is a current condition
3. Time is money - this is not an action or a condition. It is a statement about perceived truth and despite there being a present tense verb, it does not indicate something that happens or is happening.

I believe the verb in that verse is present. Do you remember that i laid out 3 or 4 uses of present tense verbs.The meaning of the verb estin. Is it a past , present or future ?
What do you think we have been trying to tell you? The Greek experts who know the subtleties of the language are saying it is saying that "the mediator is doing ongoing mediation"!Now if someone who was a Greek expert in subtle Greek communication, looks at the Greek statement in question and determines it is trying to express that the mediator is doing ongoing mediation, that would be different.

Did he change his mind and agrees the passage teaches Jesus is a man and our present mediator?Oh now you've Just given up, Patronizing or fibbing...
No if I can agree with a statement then I am quick to do so. Saying that Jesus is our mediator is true. Yes, I know you disagree with me as to what that means, but I do not disagree with the statementOh now you've Just given up, Patronizing or fibbing...
No, the Bible says Jesus was a man for a little while, and that was until he discarded His human body.Did he change his mind and agrees the passage teaches Jesus is a man and our present mediator?
Let's call it!Did he change his mind and agrees the passage teaches Jesus is a man and our present mediator?
Too late, we called it already...No, the Bible says Jesus was a man for a little while, and that was until he discarded His human body.
Is means when that was written He was still a mediator many years after the cross . Jesus was in heaven at the time when 1 Tim 2 and Hebrews was written . So He would also still be a man according to that same verse . Do you agree ?No if I can agree with a statement then I am quick to do so. Saying that Jesus is our mediator is true. Yes, I know you disagree with me as to what that means, but I do not disagree with the statement

That was what i thought too, but since nobody wants to stay on track, you didn't even read the post I gave you about Heb 8:6, i figured I will just roll with everyone else and talk about what they bring up. Did yu not notice that I did not bring up the topic, I just rolled with itNo we are talking about 1 Tim 2:5 and Heb 8:6. You are changing the argument again and now giving your ideas again . We are discussing the present tense verb.
