IMO, only reason and logic has capability to eliminate Christianity or any other religion including Islam. Time will tell, although there will always be people who choose faith and deny reason and logic. But I truly believe they will one day become the minority :thumbs:

But not in my life time, alas

Let me suggest that eternal and temporal are opposites that must exist to make each other known. From here I see temporal as having a beginning and an end while eternal has a beginning but no end and that is how and why temporal beings can become eternal beings (you will agree with this). In Psych. 101 we may recognize that we are temporal in our conscious mind and eternal in our subconscious mind (no "time-as-such") wherein we are predestined to become, or not become, the manifestation of God on earth wherefore God is infinite and without a beginning and without end. From this follows that eternal life is not ours to give or take but is the manifestation of the God that belongs to the mythology which makes eternal life endless in the God of the mythology specific. So yes, eternal is still endless but not in anyone specific mind . . . which is why Jesus is the way but not the end.

I am curious where do you get these beliefs from. Obviously you have read Scripture.

Interesting.
Yes I get them from scripture but without preconceived ideas and suggestions made by Christian religions. In that sense am I a Catholic who still believes in censorship of the bible.
