Your definition of eternity should be there's a beginner (creator) but no ending. Unless you don't believe in beginner (creator) and don't believe that heaven is eternal (no ending).
Only God is eternal. God has no beginning and no end. Time is created by Godm, who is timeless and stands outside of time, which is why we call Him eternal. We say that God dwells in eternity to communicate the notion that He is exists outside of time and is not bound by time like we are.

No offence. Just out of curiousity. What about humans? How we become eternal when we have a beginning (assuming God created us) if your definition of eternal is no beginning and no ending?

God who is life made humans and to those who believe in Him God grants eternal life. The life we have is from God.

In another words, another definition of eternal is there's a beginning but no ending.

could i reinforce by saying tat its our life tat is eternal after we have accepted christ death for our sins but wads nt eternal is our physical body? so in a sense we had a beginning cos we are born physically into this earth but we are eternal cos our lives or spirit which comes from an eternal God lives for eternity either in heaven or hell?
our physical body is merely a place to house our soul/spirit...
