Age can last hundreds and even a thousand years or more, while something that is seasonal only last a few months. An age is simply a time period that has no set length of years. So it can be eternal when referring to God, eternal life but not eternal when referring to Hell. Eternal is an English word that the translators used for the Greek word Aionion.

What's your point?

That an age can be a long but limited period of time or it can be endless.

There is no scripture that tells us that God's love is conditional. The Bible says that God does not take pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that they change their ways. If God's love was conditional then we would have to repent first before God send His Son to die for us. But it says, because He loves us so much He sent His Son to die for us.......this He did while we were yet enemies of God.

What a lame brain excuse...... Really? Why, because that's what you have decided it should translate too? Sorry, that's not how language works!

Let me ask you this: what does the word great means?

It's absolutely amazing to me how far people will go in order to protect their delusions.

It depends if it is being used as a noun, adjective, adverb or interjection; are you searching for a lesson in the english language now?

You were implying that a word cannot have more than one meaning and the word great does depending on what it is being applied to.

The word we are discussing is used in the same form, it is contextually identical...... You are claiming it's definition changes not because of it's contextual application, but whether it is used in conjunction with God, heaven, jesus, spirit or life, versus it's use in conjunction with fire or hell.
Your argument contradicts contextual use of words concerning it's placement; that is how language works, apparently by some miracle it is different where the bible is concerned?
More excuses that contradict sense and sensibility!

Furthermore, I don't have to imply a single thing, nor do I have to make a single excuse!
