By definition alone 'infinity', 'eternal' etc. can't be numbered. It is a wholly different dimension than time or space.
It would take an infinite Being or eternal Being to reveal that. Who told you that? I don't find anything like that in Scripture and man does not have the capacity to know that.There are different kinds of "infinity," and different kinds of "eternal."

Sigh. OK, show me where in Scripture where there are different kinds of "infinity," and different kinds of "eternal".Speak for yourself.
I was replying to this quote from Radagast,capacity to know what?
So I was saying that man does not have that capacity to know that (being a finite being) unless God reveals it in His Word."There are different kinds of "infinity," and different kinds of "eternal.""

Eternal life (Zoe) involving quality of life is completely different from eternity, a concept meaning forever.Not all true things are in scripture.
And our "eternal life" is obviously not the same as God's eternity.

Not logically possible?
Infinity of time, yes. Eternity implies (by normal use) time forever. But neither one HAS to be about time. When one says God is infinite, that doesn't mean he needs time to have anything to do with him. When we say he reigns for eternity, we are using our concepts to help put a handle on that concept.By definition alone 'infinity', 'eternal' etc. can't be numbered. It is a wholly different dimension than time or space. No matter how many years one counts or travels they will be no closer to infinity than the day they began.
'Forever' ceases to deal in matters of time when dealing with a Being who is the I AM.Infinity of time, yes. Eternity implies (by normal use) time forever. But neither one HAS to be about time.

Good question. Ask Radagast, he is the one I believe brought up that concept.What does different kinds of infinity and eternal mean?
Then there would be no point of reproducing. He intend for us to reproduce hence how he created us.

As He did the angels? But even 1/3 of them fell without a plan of redemption for them. I'll settle with what I haveWhy didnt God make us all in heaven?

? ? ?Gods perfect will is singleness but he knows we are but flesh. So in his perfect will we wouldnt exist?
