Question

The word really does not exist does forever really exist? any examples please

Answer 1

Lust is temporary & Love is forever

Answer 2

Even though we are real, we have a beginning and an end, we are not enduring. We were created as faith children that we may find in our lives God, through Faith, and reach him by Faith, not like His children in Paradise, who are created Perfect without the need of Faith, or the struggle of time to over come their imperfection.

P.51 - §4 The uncertainties of life and the vicissitudes of existence do not in any manner contradict the concept of the universal sovereignty of God. All evolutionary creature life is beset by certain inevitabilities. Consider the following:

P.51 - §5 1. Is courage--strength of character--desirable? Then must man be reared in an environment which necessitates grappling with hardships and reacting to disappointments.

P.51 - §6 2. Is altruism--service of one's fellows--desirable? Then must life experience provide for encountering situations of social inequality.

P.51 - §7 3. Is hope--the grandeur of trust--desirable? Then human existence must constantly be confronted with insecurities and recurrent uncertainties.

P.51 - §8 4. Is faith--the supreme assertion of human thought--desirable? Then must the mind of man find itself in that troublesome predicament where it ever knows less than it can believe.

P.51 - §9 5. Is the love of truth and the willingness to go wherever it leads, desirable? Then must man grow up in a world where error is present and falsehood always possible.

P.51 - §10 6. Is idealism--the approaching concept of the divine--desirable? Then must man struggle in an environment of relative goodness and beauty, surroundings stimulative of the irrepressible reach for better things.

P.51 - §11 7. Is loyalty--devotion to highest duty--desirable? Then must man carry on amid the possibilities of betrayal and desertion. The valor of devotion to duty consists in the implied danger of default.

P.51 - §12 8. Is unselfishness--the spirit of self-forgetfulness--desirable? Then must mortal man live face to face with the incessant clamoring of an inescapable self for recognition and honor. Man could not dynamically choose the divine life if there were no self-life to forsake. Man could never lay saving hold on righteousness if there were no potential evil to exalt and differentiate the good by contrast.

P.51 - §13 9. Is pleasure--the satisfaction of happiness--desirable? Then must man live in a world where the alternative of pain and the likelihood of suffering are ever-present experiential possibilities.

P.52 - §3 The creatures of Havona are naturally brave, but they are not courageous in the human sense. They are innately kind and considerate, but hardly altruistic in the human way. They are expectant of a pleasant future, but not hopeful in the exquisite manner of the trusting mortal of the uncertain evolutionary spheres. They have faith in the stability of the universe, but they are utter strangers to that saving faith whereby mortal man climbs from the status of an animal up to the portals of Paradise. They love the truth, but they know nothing of its soul-saving qualities. They are idealists, but they were born that way; they are wholly ignorant of the ecstasy of becoming such by exhilarating choice. They are loyal, but they have never experienced the thrill of wholehearted and intelligent devotion to duty in the face of temptation to default. They are unselfish, but they never gained such levels of experience by the magnificent conquest of a belligerent self. They enjoy pleasure, but they do not comprehend the sweetness of the pleasure escape from the pain potential.

Answer 3

i don't think so. if time exists then things are in motion, if things are in motion though they could reach a balance like our solar system eventually things will evolve and ruin the balance. like our sun dying.

the closest thing to forever, is if everything was completely still, from the tiniest particles to the hugest objects. but technically at that point there would be no time at all so not really a forever.

diamonds and every other material will end with the end of the universe, or the end of its cycle. god will end with humanity.

Answer 4

Of course there's forever... that's all there is.

The rest: people, the universe, philosophy, (our concept of them) that's what's temporary.

Answer 5

in some cases forever does exist i actually once thought that forever meant the person who said forever meant that till as long as he or she lived and i still think forever is still that when you say you like someone and you will like him or her forever you wont be alive eternally so the meaning of forever in the dictionary doesent exactly mean till the end of all life i hope that made sense

Answer 6

heaven is 4ever

Answer 7

The Love of Jesus.

Unreserved and priceless.=P

Answer 8

No, everything will end eventually. EVERYTHING! :(

Isaiah 13:11 (New International Version)      

       I will punish the world for its evil,

       the wicked for their sins.

       I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty

       and will humble the pride of the ruthless.

Answer 9

Answer 10

After we all die and those who are saved and accepted into heaven, will live for eternity.  Forever is the same thing as eternity.

Answer 11

I've thought of this question recently myself.  

Do you think there was ever a beginning of time? Our brains cannot process this thought. How was there ever a beginning of time and how is there an end?  

Space is infinite.  Life is not.

Answer 12

Yes there is a diamond is forever and I thought that you knew that!

Answer 13

Yeah, forever exists. We're always searching for a point, and if there's nothing that lasts forever, where's the point for searching for a point? We need things like love, time, and maybe even life to go on forever. Where would our souls be going? Where have our souls been? They've probably been there forever. Where are we going to go if there's no forever?

Answer 16

Umm...forever does not exist.   Even if people do believe in it, we have no way of knowing, because we dont last forever.   Those who say you live in Eternity FOREVER in heaven...dont really know how true that it is.  No one has come back from the dead to tell us so...and even if they did say it, they don't know either....if your are living in eternity, time passes by, yet, the end of eternity can happen at any moment, there for FOREVER is something that we cant prove.
