Gonz, I'm glad ya asked that question!
Actually, we're ALL immortal!!
Bible says, "it is appointed for men to die once, after this comes judgement", (Heb. 9:27) Would'nt be much sense in judgin' a lifeless corpse now would there? No, we live on........
Unfortunately, once we lay down the shells our souls are contained in, many of us will live enternally in punishment, seperated from the presence of our Creator.......
However, others of us will be eternally with our God, an' family an' friends who have believed, an' gone on before us.
Far from imagining the limits of life on earth, there will be such joy an' peace in the presence of our Creator, knowin' an' seein' God as He really is..................bein' with Him, as He originally intended!
His offer to be there at that great celebration is extended to all who would believe. 1 Pet. 3:9 offers us a bit of perspective on this concept of a God who does not want any of us to know life apart from Him, "The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance".
The interestin' thing about God's law, is that the truth of it does not depend on whether or not we believe it, it jus' IS. I guess, that's why He's God, an' we're not!
Anyhows, that's my story an' I'm stickin' to it!
