It's not only Jehovah's Witnesses who claim that "aioniōs" life refers to a quality of life. I have heard evangelicals who also affirm this. But I think it is a mistake.

I'll stick with "lasting life" until I'm proven wrong. However, I do agree that the lasting life which is available through Christ is indeed everlasting. But that doesn't prove that "aiōnios" MEANS "everlasting", since the word was also applied to things which are NOT everlasting.

Man judges a person by his past deeds, and administers penalties for his wrongdoing. God judges a person by his present character, and disciplines him that he may become righteous.
