IMMORTALITY

IMMORTALITY perpetuity of existence. The doctrine of immortality is taught in the Old Testament. It is plainly implied in the writings of Moses (Genesis 5=>22, 24; 25=>8; 37=>35; 47=>9; 49=>29, comp. Hebrews 11=>13-16; Exodus 3=>6, comp. Matthew 22=>23). It is more clearly and fully taught in the later books (Isaiah 14=>9; Psalm 17=>15; 49=>15; 73=>24). It was thus a doctrine obviously well known to the Jews. With the full revelation of the gospel this doctrine was “brought to light” (2 Timothy 1=>10; 1 Corinthians 15; 2 Corinthians 5=>1-6; 1 Thessalonians 4=>13-18).
