God's Plan required a human being for a test of human volition.

there are numerous problems with your answer. ill point out a few.

if god is happy with his son jesus, why would he need to test a different system.

if god knows mans system will fail then why bother putting it into action.

how do we know christ will not sin? we are given no time line on how long it took lucifer to turn and sin. at one point he was as pure as christ.

the words 'human' and 'test' put together in the context of your post are pretty sick.

why test something when you know 100% what the answer is???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????unless god didnt know the answer...........

Here are the largest numbers I could find as a layman's point of reference:

Googol: A large number. A "1" followed by one hundred zeros.
10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Googolplex: The second largest number with a name.
A "1" followed by a googol of zeros.
See www.Googolplex.com

Googolplexian: The worlds largest number with a name.
A "1" followed by a googolplex of zeros.

Question: Is anyone able to fathom the infinite quantitative/qualitative aspect of an eternity with or separated from God?

It's funny how you, of all people who post here, should be trying to lecture others on "grandstanding". 🙂

How does "second death" translate to "existing for eternity"?

Did you see the question I was replying to? FMF asked me how some text appeared, I said "like this".

Synonymous with an unbeliever's entire being suffering in the Lake of Fire forever; otherwise God's justice is compromised.

Yes, divegeester. Thought the open ended white space without perimeter symbolized non linear eternity.

I still don't see how "death" can be equated to "suffering for eternity"?

Indeed. Bizarro-death.

"14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." Rev. 20:11-15 The italicized phrase?

Sorry GB but you are not making a cohesive point.

My point is that "death" is not conducive to "eternal suffering". Whereby death is in fact the end and not eternity.
