Then explain the following two verses:
1Ti 6:15 ...which He will show in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,
1Ti 6:16 WHO ALONE has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light...
Eze 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is mine: the SOUL who sins SHALL DIE.

These are written before Jesus came, but are based on people believing that God would send a savior.
Verse 1: When we accept Jesus as our savior, we give up our lives and Jesus comes to live in us, thereby making our souls immortal (because it is His soul)
Verse 2: God is talking about the soul of fallen man, the soul who has a sin nature. When we accept Jesus, and repent of our sins, the sin nature is gone and we receive His nature. Now this comes from Ezekiel which was written before Jesus came to earth, but if you go down to verse 9, it explains that following God's decrees and laws makes man righteous and he will surely live, but also believing that God would be sending a savior at some point in the future. At that time, that would be what would make the soul immortal.

The first guys is right. You need to do a bit more research. There is the soul as we think of it---that spiritual part of us that lives on after physical death. OR----The whole of a person; God created Adam a living SOUL---Meaning a person.
Ex: EZE 18;4-----The PERSON who sins shall die.....

Immortality is the only consolation a man gets after death. We have souls that survives after death which makes us distinct from the animals. Thus, be good and God will gratify goodness.

look boy, that just means you will be seperated from God. In the bible death is defined as a seperation from God. GOd made angels, and man to have immortal souls and spirits( soul - seat of passions, emotions... spirit - seat of intellect) and when they sin they get seperated from God and go to hell. Like the angels who rebelled against GOd were disembodied and sent to hell, and people who die not excepting salvation of jesus christ who died on the cross to shed his blood for us so our sins can be washed away and repent so we can be perfect and worthy to join God in his eternal rest, they will go to hell and then be resurrected in eternal bodies to be thrown into the lake of fire which is second death which is the complete seperation from GOd. They are fully conscious and suffering in hell. does that make sense?

My explanation is this...
That is your belief and your path to follow, my belief and path are different. Just because we believe in two different things doesn't make one of us wrong. If you follow your path, and it is good then I applaud you. If I follow my path and it is good, then shouldn't you at least give me the same respect?

Have you done a 'word study' with a concordance, a lexicon, and dictionary?
