Yep, and let's look at that Strong's 1510.

eimi - Definition: I am, exist.
1510 eimí (the basic Greek verb which expresses being, i.e. "to be") – am, is.

Note there is no beginning or end. The apostles did not initiate. It already existed. It had been known forever in heaven. As I said, the apostles simply ddclare d what already existed.

No, CynicalBear, that is NOT the form used in those two Bible texts in Greek. (Do you need me to post the links to those two texts in the Greek New Testament?)

The form is "estai" - "will be".

"Will be" does NOT mean the same thing as "was".
