Ed Burley: The Greek is aionon zoe, and was specific to the first century. No one post-Parousia "inherits eternal life" as DEATH HAS BEEN defeated IN AD70. Eternal life was that which those who "were dead in their trespasses and sins" inherited through faith in Jesus Christ, as the complete Keeper of the Law, the Second Adam, the New Moses, the Greater Prophet.
The parousia returned HUMANITY to God's garden. Through the work of Jesus, all humanity now shares the blessings of God, naked and unashamed. While it may be argued that, in your opinion, I am saying that "all inherit eternal life" I would argue that I am not since eternal life was specific to the Law, which has been done away with.
