God alone is immortal (1
Tim 6.17). Man is not immortal, but must seek immortality (Rom 1.7).
Death is the result of sin
(Ezek 18.4, Rom 6.23). Conscious state in death (Ecclesiastes 9.5, 6.10; Ps
146.4).
The author of the doctrine
of the immortality of man and the afterlife (as well as the
"reincarnation") is Satan himself (Gen 3.4). From him went data Pagan
beliefs.
Hope for believers is
afterworld, not a resurrection and eternal life on the updated Earth (Rev 21.1,
Matt 5.5). Christ resurrected Himself and gave all hope for resurrection. This
is the 11st chapter of the Gospel of John:
- Death is sleep, which is
not flowing time (v.11,13)
- If death is compared to
sleep, resurrection - with the awakening, in which resurrected righteous
will gain a new body (Job 19.25-26, Phil 3.21).
The Bible teaches that
there will be two of the resurrection - the righteous and the wicked (Dan 12.2,
John 5.28-29, Rev 20.4-5).
Over alive for eternity the
second death has no power (Rev 20.6, 14).
The wicked will be resurrected
for punishment and subsequently completely destroyed (Rev 20.9, Mal 4.1). Then
the Earth will be created anew and the righteous will receive eternal
happy life on it: "And I saw a new heaven and a new Earth, for the first
heaven and the first Earth had passed away. I, John, saw the Holy City, new
Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for
her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, behold, the
Tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them; they will be his
people, and God himself will be with them their God. And God will
wipe every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more; nor crying,
neither sickness nor sorrow, there will not be, for the former things have
passed away"(Rev 21.1-4).
