I don't think that you are being honest with the scriptures here; you are not applying the same hermeneutic across the board.
It belongs to both. It will be an indefinite period of time that will differ for each individual. Exactly How long do you want to live, anyway? A trillion years? A duodecillion years (a number equal to 1 followed by 39 zeros)? Longer? Do you have any conception of what that would be like or are you just spouting platitudes?

I believe that the Lord promises that we will live for ever (what that means in the English).
The doctrine of eternal torments is no lie Matthew 25:46
This is your mission for today. Please tell us the 5 qualifications for "everlasting punishment" according to the Lord Jesus Christ? If you need help go to got answers.

So you are just spouting platitudes and not thinking about what the implications of them are. I suspected as much given your penchant for tolerating contradictory thoughts and concepts without any awareness they contradict.

As I said to someone in another thread, one of the first things I encountered as a newborn believer was people trying to tell me that there are many contradictions in the Bible.
If I had been an unbeliever, I would have taken their word for it (I would have wanted to believe them).
But because I have the Holy Spirit, I began a journey of finding all of the apparent contradictions and reconciling them.
I have never found an apparent contradiction that does not have a reconciliation.
So then, the thoughts that you think are contradictory in all reality do not contradict each other.
They reconcile nicely when you apply other scriptural truths to the apparent contradiction.
But go ahead and try me....see if you can give me two contradictory thoughts in scripture that I can't reconcile.
If I were not able to reconcile them, it would be a new thing.
