🔹 Immortal
Immortal means not subject to death.
An immortal being:
Has a beginning
Will never cease to exist
Cannot die or be destroyed
In Christian theology, humans are often described as immortal in the sense that the soul continues after physical death (see teachings reflected in the Bible). Angels are also considered immortal because they do not die.
However, immortality does not necessarily mean timelessness. An immortal being can:
Exist within time
Experience sequence (before/after)
Have a starting point
So immortality = unending life, but not necessarily eternal existence in the fullest sense.
🔹 Eternal
Eternal means without beginning and without end.
In classical Christian theology, only God is eternal in this absolute sense. God did not begin to exist and will never cease to exist. This understanding is central to historic Christian doctrine, especially articulated by theologians like Augustine of Hippo and Thomas Aquinas.
Eternal existence includes:
No beginning
No end
Often understood as existing outside of time itself
When God says “I AM” in the Book of Exodus (3:14), theologians interpret this as a declaration of eternal being.
So eternality = timeless, uncreated existence.
