An age is any period of time, agreed?
  • So for example, 1000 years is "an age". So, if 1000 years is an age and we multiple that 1000 by infinity (1,000 by , 1,000 by, by 1,000 ... stretching on into infinity . ..) how long would that be ?
  • If someone' s life began at a particular point in time and subsequently lasted (1,000 years x infinity or to put it another way, their life lasted through "age upon age upon age upon age stretching to infinity") how long would they live?

Infinity is infinity. You can multiply it by one but multiplied by any other number makes no sense.

And you are still avoiding my questions:

When does mortal man become immortal?

Are you immortal?

Do you now have everlasting life.

If not, then when does your everlasting life start?

Peace.

Could I throw in my $.02? Mortal man does not become immortal. Only Jesus and his co-rulers are immortal. Man will remain mortal, but this doesn't mean that they will die. If a mortal human being remains faithful to God he will live forever.

I am not immortal nor is anyone else except Jesus and his Holy Ones who will rule with him. If you are using the word "immortal" to mean "able live forever," then I would answer differently. Mortal man becomes able to live forever right after the thousand years are over and they have remained faithful.

I have everlasting life so far. I am faithful now and am striving to be forever. As long as I stay on the road to everlasting life (Matthew 7: 13,14) and endure to the end (Matthew 24:13) I will be saved.

Everlasting life starts now as long as we remain faithful. The final test will sort out many who will not remain faithful after the Millennial Reign, but those who remain faithful will "come to life," that is---they will be able to live forever and enjoy life as humans were intended to do from the beginning.

Agreed.
So .. given the above, my question for you is the following ...
  • If someone' s life began at a particular point in time and subsequently lasted (1,000 years x infinity or as you put it "age upon age upon age stretching to infinity") how long would they live?
