When we say we have the hope of Eternal life that means life with no beginning or end. If we say we hope for everlasting life that means we have a beginning but no end. Only God is eternal, no other being human or angelic is. If you are truly eternal then you would be omnipresent. God alone inhabits eternity Isaiah 57:15. Translators had problems with the words everlasting and eternal and did not always apply them correctly. Look up the definition of eternal and everlasting, there is a huge difference between them. To say we will have everlasting life is correct but to say we will have eternal life give us an attribute that only God has.
