However, I do not think it is not precise to say it will "last" forever, for that implies that it is self-perpetuating, that it will hold out on the basis of its own nature. So, I think your discussion must be framed a little differently: The soul was created, has a beginning point, and is thus not finite.

Yes, it will continue to exist into eternity, but only because of an outside sustaining agent-namely, God. I say this because the human soul has nothing within its essence that is eternal it is created and finite just like all other things outside of God. These things being said, I would say that it is not therefore appropriate to apply the term "eternal" to the human soul. Again, it is a descriptor of quality more so than quantity. I have come to thus understand "eternal" as not meaning simply "without beginning and without end" (merely in reference to time), but rather as meaning completely outside of and apart from everything temporal (and with that everything finite). I would find it hard to describe a being that was infinite yet not eternal. To answer your first question, I would say that eternality is a subset of infinity. I would first suggest that, in the case of your discussion, "infinite"/"eternal" and "finite"/"temporal" are qualitative descriptors more than they are quantitative descriptors. Mythgard might overtake Eternal if they play it right, its a very solid game mechanically - same goes for Causa, but Causa is different in so many ways that Im not sure if I should put it in the same group as the rest of the games on this list. I think a couple years ago Faeria was better, but Eternal aged waaaaay better than Faeria. Thanks for any help getting clarity on this issue. Id say so, at least at the current moment. We wondered if the term "eternal" was appropriate to apply to the soul, or if eternal also implied being infinite, or without beginning as well as without end.ġ) What is the distinction between infinite and eternal? Both are applied to God in the WCF, suggesting they have different meanings/connotations.Ģ) Is it appropriate to apply the description "eternal" to the human soul, or would "everlasting", "never-dying" be better descriptions? But once created it never goes out of existence, it will last forever. A person's soul is created so it has a beginning point, ergo it is not infinite. This in turn led to a discussion on the nature of the soul. One argument for this would be that God is the only infinite being and, further, that as He created the universe it must be, de facto, finite: it was created.
