Time has a limit but Eternity is forever ?

Question

True or false ?

Answer 1

True.

Answer 2

This is interesting. I think it all depends on definition. (sitting on the fence or what? hee hee) well really time is a human concept, yes we can see the passing of the seasons but they would pass without the unit of time anyway. If you look back in history you will see that many a farmer used nature to decide when to plant crops and when to gather crops. In that sense then time and eternity are not the same but, don`t you just love the but? If you look at it for ever, the summer season may have came to an end for the time being but we have faith that it will indeed be back again , so in that sense summer will always be. Confused? yeah me too!!!!

Answer 3

True,

Even if we consider time to be existing with a continuity without a beginning or an end,

the origin of 'time' itself is within Eternity.

The origin of such 'time' within Eternity is timeless, it won't make sense to ask when time started since prior to the origin of time, there was nothing to measure time as a quantity to differentiate 'before' or 'after'.

So even if you consider 'time' to be present since time immemorial to an infinitum, time has limitations such as time alone can not measure mass of a body or volume of a body in the space,

hence time has a limit but Eternity from where 'time' origins has no limit, it is eternal and forever.

Answer 4

It has been said that everything that has a beginning has an end. However it could be argued that 'time', as an eternal concept also has no limit. I think the problem is that we humans are used to measuring everything, and thus will insist on measuring the length, width, depth AND duration of anything that we can lay our sensory perceptors on.

The point is that all matter has it's manifestational beginning and end, yet the energy from which all matter is condensed never ends, it just keeps changing form,

Maybe it easier to think of 'No-Time' rather than Eternity, as we still get lulled into thinking that Eternity can 'last', another temporal conception ! ;-)))

Answer 5

True!...Time stops for the body that dies.The soul will live Eternity forever.

Answer 6

I think it's both true and false.
According to secular science, time has no limit - it won't end. It is both a unit of measurement and a perception of experiences.
However according to the bible, time does have a limit. The perception of time and the increments in which it is divided has a beginning at creation, and ends with the destruction of this world as we know it.
Eternity is then perceived to go hand in hand with infinity - that is - beyond life as we know it. It never ends and has no beginning.

Answer 7

False. Who told you time had a limit? Who has the timer? No one will ever see the end of time until he dies, because time is a perception which he will no longer have when dead. But what he was perceiving while alive goes on forever even with out him: the existence of existence never ending because it did not come "ex nihilo" and cannot return to nothing since it did not come from nothing. Did it come from something? No. It IS the something.

Answer 8

We wouldn't call it Eternity if it had an end, and it is separate from time itself. Time is like the sound of that tree in the forest. It exists only when perceived.

Answer 9

True, time is only time when perceived, which is why it can be measured. Eternity is forever because it doesn't depend on being perceived, it cannot be measured, therefore it has no end.

Answer 10

There is no limit to time. Time is the measurement of events.
Time is what we use to quantify something, it in itself can not end.

Answer 11

TIME BEGAN WHEN GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH AND WILL END WHEN GOD DESTROYS THE UNIVERSE AND REPLACES IT WITH A PERFECT ETERNAL UNIVERSE PEOPLED WITH THOSE WHO HAVE DONE HIS WILL. THERE WILL BE NO BOREDOM AND WHATEVER YOU ARE GIVEN TO DO WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY AND THERE WILL BE NO TEARS OR PAIN OR SORROW.
