Notice that "forever" (eternity) can be condidtional:
Exodus 21:6 Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.
"aion" is the greek word often translated as "eternity", but it can be conditional
Mathew 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world (aion); and the reapers are the angels.
Notice God is only immortal:
1 Timothy 6:15-17
15. Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16. Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
17. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy
