'''Eternal''' is descriptive of whatever is [[infinite]] and unbounded by time or is outside of time and space, of the state of true existence before time began and continuing after time comes to an end, without beginning, without end, a concept introduced by [[Jesus]]. [[God]] is usually considered eternal in that He has no beginning and no end. Human [[soul]]s have a starting point but no end, and they are considered to be eternal as well in [[Christianity]].
