The Bible doesn't say "eternal", only the English translations...
aionios- perpetual (also used of past time, or past and future as well)- eternal, for ever, everlasting, seems to me that aionios means eternal. Matthew 25:46 "And these will go away into eternal(aionios) punishment, but the righteous into eternal(aionios) life. As John V said, I've have not seen anyone argue the point of eternal life having a limit.
@ Tonus, I've read your reply, need time to look it over carefully, will get back to it soon.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
