Could you please explain exactly what you mean by progressive existence? I
think this started with a discussion of HN in 1 John 1. Look at, for
instance, Matthew 2:14-15:
KAI ANHCWRHSEN EIS AIGUPTON, KAI HN EKEI hEWS THS TELEUTHS hHRWiDOU.
Clearly, he lived there continuously for a period of time, but this period
is also clearly bounded by two events.
