Eddie, 

I have never heard the terms Verbal Aspect and Grammatical Aspect used in the manner you just did. I'm not sure what distinction you're making here, but its not one I've ever seen in the literature.

Brian:

The reason we may have gotten off track with the Present Tense of hOMOLOGEW in 1 John 1:9 is more likely due to the fact that it is in a non-temporal-referring Mood (the Subjunctive) and the question was a temporal one; most responders would simply have overlooked this particular instance and addressed Present Tense INDICATIVES in general... that's what I did. The Subjunctive does not create an event on a time line; it addresses Verbal Aspect, not Grammatical Aspect. Grammatical Aspect can be determined with a Subjunctive mood verbal, but such comes from other factors outside the Form of the verb.
