There can be no succession of motion by an eternal entity. Succession of motion implies that the entity would have had potentiality to come into a state of existence due to Change and is, therefore, not eternal; and also implies that the entity has potentiality to change to a non-existent state and, therefore, be not eternal.

Also, an entity that is eternal in its existence would be by definition [b]pure, absolute, perfect existence), and such that entity would have no parts that would be able to go in and out of existence. But we witness these things (changes) every day, which violate two fundamentally important laws of logic: Identity and Non-Contradiction.

In short, Mr. Actor, we could boil down the whole issue with this one simple question: How can death logically proceed from eternal life?
Your entire post makes absolutely no sense. It sounds like the ravings of a madman.
