"To give you a vague idea of what forever or eternity is let's think along these lines. Suppose you were the greatest scientist of all time and you have just invented your greatest invention, a time machine. You have designed your time machine in such a way that it can be set to travel any amount of time at any speed. So you set your time machine to travel ten to the 500th power years per SECOND. In other words you time machine can go forward into time at 10 followed by 500 zero number of years every second. Now say that you set it to run at that speed for 10 followed by 500 zeros YEARS. Put another way that is you time machine is set at 10 to the 500 power years per second for 10 to the 500 years. No human being can come close to imagining how long that is. But compared to eternity this is not even a second as far as time is concern, you see there is no end to forever or eternity. You could have easily said the same thing as above with 10 to the billion power years per second fo 10 to the billion power years and you still would not get to the end of eternity or forever. If you had a life time of 10 to the billion power years your life span would have an end a finite number of years in which you would die. But if you had never ending or eternal life which is the same as forever you would never die. God has eternal life and He wants to give it to mankind as a gift we can't earn it but He offers it as a free gift but with certain ground rules" -robert harp
