By standing away from Christianism and all the balderdash of religionism, I found sufficient boldness to assert: the doctrine of immortality is in error. Not that I do not believe in immortal life; I do. In fact, I believe there exist lots of immortal beings. But of humanbeings, immortality will be after the resurrection, according to the words and wordings of the Christ in the Scriptures.

John 5: 21-29
John 6: 24-40 (particularly verses 29,39 & 40)
Luke 20: 27-29
Matthew 22: 23-34
Matthew 25: 31-46
John 11:1-45 (particularly verses 20-28, 40)
Christianists, or better, church-ans teach (probably do not believe, considering their living styles) that humanbeings do not die. That is, at the cessation of organic life, the material body (which we call corpse) sloughs off into decomposition, and something immaterial and indissoluble continues to live consciously, and to respond to some divine judicial enquiries. This I believed when I was much younger and church-dependent in my faith and mental cogitation; when the scanning scopes of my mind had not de-converged.
I got my first bible in 1984 or 1985(during the centenary celebration of Catholic church in (south) Nigeria) and read of the origin of life, a thing I had always speculated about, and of the Originator. I developed a doubt.
But I could not voice out my doubt then. The swamp of religiosity would never have allowed it.
Now, without prejudice to the fact that human knowledge is never absolute, I can assert that the idea and doctrine of immortality before the (general) resurrection is not tenable unless, of course, the aim of the doctrine is not clarification and understanding of issues, but mystification.
They say that something of the human personhood survives the biologic death of the organic body: "Man and his woman partner ate something in disobedience to their Constructor and Instructor, and gradually died consequently. The Instructor had designed and constructed them never to die unless they disobey him. When they eventually disobeyed him and died, something in them survived and continued surviving". The last part of this story cancels the whole to absurd nothingness.
