I read your post and that comment about comparing Jesus to light went right over my head. And that stuff about your name is very interesting, but here is some info about the aorist.

Basically it is a use of the past tense that tells us that something happened without a whole lot of detail, and whatever happened is now finished. It is like if I said to you "I ate" I did not tell you what I ate, how good it was, and now I am done eating.

Here is a definition from my Greek Text Book.

The aorist tense " Presents an occurance in summary, viewed as a whole from the outside, without regard for the internal make up of the occurance.

Sometimes people describe it as a snap shot. Like when you take a picture of something.
