depending on the religeon, claim 3 may mean eaither.
beut lets say we are talking about an interpretation of a religeon which
takes it, as you say, to be everlasting.
claim 2, is that quality exists. that may be accepted as a non-temporal
claim (though temporality can be added).
yes, to be eternal, to side step time, is a different goal to be ever
esisting in time. However Quality does both. It is both. it is outside of,
as well as within.
Quality is everlasting and eternal.
Now you claimed that you were not enamoured by everlasting, but by
eternal, seeing eternal is what quality is. However everlasting is a
subset of the same. It would not be quality if it were not also
everlasting. Nor would it be quality if it were not eternal. So a religeon
which only promises the ever lasting may not sway you, because you want
more. But it is a prerequisite for what you are after.
Like when the masses today say they are interested in the Intelectual
Quality of their mates, they sort of presuppose some Biological Quality.
<oh, and all the 'yous' up there are not refering to you you; just a
manner of speaking.
