| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Immortality |
 | | With the birth of the Christian religion the doctrine of immortality took up quite a new position in the world. | | | The doctrine of immortality, strictly or properly understood, means personal immortality, the endless conscious existence of the individual soul. | | | Yet, like the existence of God, he reinstates it as a postulate of the practical reason. |

| | The “Immortality” |
| | The death and resurrection of Christ bring immortality and incorruption to all in the same manner, because all have the same nature as the Man Christ Jesus. | | | The belief in a natural Immortality was one of the few basic "dogmas" of the enlightened Deism of that time. | | | It is "the heavenly Bread and the Cup of life." This tremendous Sacrament is for the faithful the very "Betrothal of the Life Eternal," just because Christ's death itself was the Victory and the Resurrection. |

| | Immortality |
| | Immortality does require a specific level of spiritual attainment. | | | One must be willing to work on their personal karma and gain spiritual insight into the everyday experience in order to obtain immortality. | | | These people know that they can live in a human body as long as they choose, even if that means forever. |

| | Physical Immortality - Main Site |
| | Physical immortality in not a spiritual or religious immortality, but a real immortality of this time and for this world. | | | Since ultimate goals cannot be derived, only chosen, it is not possible to justify the will to immortality as the ultimate goal for people, or to assert it as dogma, as traditional religions do. | | | Physical immortality has nothing to do with reincarnation, karma, channeling, angels, vampires, or some kind of spirit that lives on after death. |

| | Immortality means being able to live indefinitely or infinitely. | | | Unfortunately, I can not think of a better word though I prefer the expression "reincarnation of the scientific kind" when people can live, die and return by scientific means with the help of others. |

| | The doctrine of the immortality is nowhere formally stated in the Bible but it is everywhere assumed. | | | The religious experience shown in the Old Testament cannot be made intelligible upon the theory that the doctrine of immortality was unknown or disbelieved. | | | In the New Testament we are plainly told that for the Christian to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord |

| | The Case Against Immortality |
| | It should be noted that there can be no empirical evidence in support of resurrection if it is taken to be a future event on Earth or an event that takes place in another world. | | | It is arguably the most important and most personal question that can be asked in light of the realization of one's own mortality. | | | Nevertheless, we cannot base our beliefs on what we want to be true; the truth can only be found by weighing the evidence for a given idea. |

| | Metaphysical immortality |
| | Under the influence of the critical scientific method, the metaphysical notions of immortality, once very concrete and appealing, are becoming increasingly abstract and pale; old religious systems are slowly but surely losing their influence. | | | One concept of immortality we find in the traditional great religions. | | | In fact, the concept defies physical reality and proclaims the reality of a different kind -- call it spiritual, or metaphysical. |

| | A resurrection of the dead or an immortial soul or spirit, life or death, immortality or resurrection |
| | It is a deliberate attempt by the translators who did not believe God's word as it is to mislead; and all Bible teachers who do not point this out are sinning [James 3:1]. | | | This clearly shows that the meaning of the Hebrew word nehphesh is something that is not immortal and that it can die or that it already is dead. | | | To say that "nehphesh" [soul] is immortal and cannot die makes the Bible be wrong repeatedly. |

The same wonderful authorial voice that can be found throughout his work is visible, and he even has the audacity at one point to give Avenarius (the character) a copy of one of his earlier novel's, Life is Elsewhere. |
