From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Immortality
perpetuity of existence. The doctrine of immortality is taught
in the Old Testament. It is plainly implied in the writings of
Moses (Gen. 5:22, 24; 25:8; 37:35; 47:9; 49:29, comp. Heb.
11:13-16; Ex 3:6, comp. Matt. 22:23). It is more clearly and
fully taught in the later books (Isa. 14:9; Ps 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 Tim. 1:10; 1 Cor. 15; 2 Cor. 5:1-6; 1
Thess. 4:13-18).
From THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993) [devils]:
IMMORTALITY, n.
A toy which people cry for
And on their knees apply for
Dispute, contend and lie for
And if allowed
Would be right proud
Eternally to die for
G.J.
