Your Name: Email address: "MORTAL" means "subject to death". "IMMORTAL" means "exempt from the liability to die" or "imperishable". There are only two forms of the word "Immortal" used in the Bible. "Immortal" (of course), and "immortality". Let's explore each text on the subject and see if these terms are ever used to refer to the human soul, or any part of mankind. 1. Using the Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, we find that the term "immortal" is used in the Bible ONLY ONCE: 1 Timothy 1:17 Who is referred to as "Immortal" in this text? 2. God "renders" immortality or wrath to people. Does this text tell us this happens now or at some later point? Romans 2:5-8 Do we HAVE immortality, or CAN WE HAVE it later? 3. The Bible says that death comes to an end ("is swallowed up in victory"), when humans become immortal. 1 Corinthians 15:53-54 What phrasing does Paul use to imply that we WILL become immortal at some point in the future? 4. Who does the Bible say is the ONLY One who HAS IMMORTALITY at this time? 1 Timothy 6:14-16 Who ALONE is immortal, currently? 5. If we are not now immortal, how can a man become immortal, then? 2 Timothy 1:10 By what means does a man become immortal? We have now looked at EVERY Bible reference to the word "Immortal". Our next study will address what the Bible has to say about the word "Mortal". Do you have any further questions at this time?
