Arwin :

'eternal' can also mean "with a start but without an end"

~ :

You’re actually so intelligent

⠀xander :

i’m not religious but this isn’t very accurate. eternity refers to something ‘without end.’ if after this life there was suffering with no end then that could still very much be eternal. infinity doesn’t just come in one size. for example, the infinite set of natural numbers versus the infinite set of real numbers.

the_red_b3ast :

This is a bad argument because it relies on a straw man. If the term eternity was linguistically “impossible” it wouldn’t be a term we would use. You are ignoring that eternity is used differently in regular conversation, philosophy and theologically. Firstly eternity in its colloquial usage doesn’t need to include the entirety of time (past, present, and future)it could simply be referring to a start with no end (everlasting, never-ending, forevermore). It is perfectly fine to say every human upon death would be dead for eternity (which is true) doesn’t mean they have to be dead now or prior to the fact. You are conflating the theological conception of eternity that is typically attributed to God or metaphysical constructs such as samsara which tranced linear conceptions of time.

WeChaseStars :

Yea because when do you enter eternity? What time? Where? Words mean what they mean. Same with free will. They use it to mean choice but that’s not what the word means at all.

E :

Honestly though I’ve considered something along the line of heaven or hell being just our perception of this life and how we live it

Nikolito :

Thankyou! Now I feel happier being gay af 🔥

★ :

you is smart you is important

solana costa :

eternal can also mean to exist outside of the constraints of time. and THAT is the Christian viewpoint in relation to the soul.

Anto0119 :

This is arguing semantics, yeah maybe the official definition of eternal means this but you know people that say “eternal damnation” don’t mean that, so… what are we arguing here?

Ria Singh :

this is the kind of analysis I want

Meg Magic 🪷✨🌙 :

Ugh yes yes yes Lexi 🙏 this is just one dimensional existence of the infinite cosmos, hell is just a layer/plane of it
