Eternal Life: 7 questions about it. Answer any or all?

Question

1. Eternal Life: is it life after death, or is it perhaps life void of death, if
eternal has no beginning nor end, no beginning of days nor end of life?

2. Eternal Life: is it a "high" calling, or perhaps a "higher" calling; if
Bible says lay hold on eternal life whereunto thou art ALSO called,
and spiritual wickedness occurs on both sides of the "high places"?

3. Eternal Life: if "immortality", which one of athanasia or aphtharsia,
if Bible mentions 2 kinds of immortality, but only 1 kind of "immortal"?
So how does EL differ from two resurrections, are both from graves?

4. Eternal Life: does it differ from the "life eternal" Jesus has for his sheep
of goats/sheep? Is EL right of left/right, or perhaps above of under/above?

5. Eternal Life: is it for an individual, or perhaps for all or none at all,
if Bible says there is no respect of persons (no partiality) with God?

6. Eternal Life: is it by grace of law vs grace, or grace void of law, if
the grace of law vs grace is still division, and not yet peace;
if grace of law vs grace is still partiality, not yet perfection?
Can division, partiality, and corruption inherit incorruption?

7. Eternal Life: is it available from the plural God of the dead,
or perhaps only available from God is one: God of the living?

Answer 1

1. It's life after death - sort of like a conversion between being a mortal being (stuck on a timeline with a beginning and an end) to an eternal being (outside of time).



2. No, eternal life is not the calling. The calling is to live like Christ. Eternal life is the reward for responding to the call.



3. Don't confuse immortality with eternal life. Immortality is living forever on the timeline. Eternal life is outside the timeline.



4. Eternal life = life eternal.



5. The Bible does not say that God doesn't respect individuality. Our relationships with Him are always one-on-one. So eternal life is for the individual soul, even though God treats us all with an equal amount of mercy and love.



6. I could hardly understand what you meant here. We receive eternal life by grace, but grace in light of law, not grace void of law.



7. There is only one God, and He is God of the Living and the only source for Eternal Life.
