Your answer is nonsense. I did not ask you what you believe. If I had asked you what you believe it might have made sense to offer quotes. I asked you what you *understand*. I'll ask it a third time: are you claiming to *understand* eternity?

understand - to stand among, hence observe,... 2 to gather or assume from what is known...to be informed; believe. (Websters New World College Dictionary, Fourth Edition)

I have observed eternity (in the Bible), and gathered from what is known about eternity (in the Bible), and have been informed about eternity (from the Bible), and believe about eternity (what the Bible says).

Given Webster's definition for the word "understand", my post was appropriate and also directly responsive to your question.
