4 definitions found From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: Immortality \Im`mor*tal"i*ty\, n.; pl {Immortalities}. [L. immortalitas: cf F. immortalit['e].] 1. The quality or state of being immortal; exemption from death and annihilation; unending existance; as the immortality of the soul. This mortal must put on immortality. --1 Cor. xv 53. 2. Exemption from oblivion; perpetuity; as the immortality of fame. From WordNet r 1.6 [wn]: immortality n 1: the quality or state of being immortal [ant: {mortality}] 2: perpetual life after death 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.
