Eternal life

Eternal Life may refer to:

  • Immortality, the ability to live forever
  • Eternal life (Christianity), a Christian belief
  • "Eternal Life" (song), by American musician Jeff Buckley
  • Life Eternal, an EP by Mayhem
  • Eternal life (Christianity)

    In Christianity, eternal life traditionally refers to continued life after death, as outlined in Christian eschatology. The Apostles' Creed testifies: "I believe... the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting." In this view, eternal life commences after the second coming of Jesus and the resurrection of the dead, although in the New Testament's Johannine literature there are references to eternal life commencing in the earthly life of the believer, possibly indicating an inaugurated eschatology.

    According to mainstream Christian theology, after death but before the Second Coming, the saved live with God in an intermediate state, but after the Second Coming, experience the physical resurrection of the dead and the physical recreation of a New Earth. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states, "By death the soul is separated from the body, but in the resurrection God will give incorruptible life to our body, transformed by reunion with our soul. Just as Christ is risen and lives for ever, so all of us will rise at the last day." N.T. Wright argues that "God's plan is not to abandon this world... Rather, he intends to remake it. And when he does, he will raise all people to new bodily life to live in it. That is the promise of the Christian gospel"

    Eternal Life (song)

    "Eternal Life" is a song composed by Jeff Buckley and is track #9 on his album Grace. It also has a video. It is believed to have been influenced by a long-time love for Led Zeppelin's music and a wish to emulate them in this song. The track is something of an exception on the album, featuring aggressive, overdriven guitar noises that contrast with the more intimate, low-key format that otherwise characterizes the album. "Eternal Life" can also be found on his 1993 EP Live at Sin-é.

    Captured on the Live at Sin-é release, is an explanation as to the meaning of this song:

    "This is a song about...it's an angry song. Life's too short and too complicated for people behind desks and people behind masks to be ruining other people's lives, initiating force against other people's lives, on the basis of their income, their color, their class, their religious beliefs, their whatever..."

    In Jeff's own words, "Eternal Life" was inspired by anger over "the man that shot Martin Luther King, World War II, slaughter in Guyana and the Manson murders."

    Eternal Life

    by: Our Lady Peace

    eternal life is now on my trail
    got my red glitter coffin, man, just need one last nail
    while all these ugly gentlemen play out their foolish games
    there's a flaming red horizon that screams our names
    and as your fantasies are broken in two
    did you really think this bloody road would
    pave the way for you?
    you better turn around
    and blow your kiss hello to life eternal, angel
    racist everyman, what have you done?
    man, you've made a killer of your unborn son...
    crown my fear your king at the point of a gun
    all i want to do is love everyone...
    and as your fantasies are broken in two
    did you really think this bloody road would
    pave the way for you?
    you better turn around
    and blow your kiss hello to life eternal....
    there's no time for hatred, only questions
    what is love, where is happiness, what is life, where is peace?
    when will I find the strength to bring me release?
    and tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said?
    man, it sounds to me just like a prison for the walking dead
    and i've get a message for you and your twisted hell
    you better turn around
