Via your experience-based faith, how do you know that eternity even exists, if you have not yet experienced it...Does anything really exist outside of your personnel experience?

To me that is kind of like the philosophical question - Does a falling tree really make any noise when nobody is around to hear it? That type of thinking is so arrogant and self-absorbed...nothing exists unless my personnel experience deems it so.

Does your experience-based faith hold to any absolute truth (other than faith is by experience and God is love...but you also recognized his justice because you stated that it is only his responsibility to judge and condemn (not ours)...So you recognize that God is justice as well. By what experience did you gain that faith)?

So, I take it that you cannot answer my specific questions about the nature of eternity and I will assume that you do NOT understand eternity. I accept that you believe in it because of a book that you value – but that you have no personal experience and do not know what you are talking about when you bring up the subject of eternity. In other words – if we continue to talk and you bring up eternity - I will point out that you have no idea what you are talking about other than a few words you have read in a book.
