A brief look at the doctrine of immortality and related traditions such as hell, purgatory, and what exactly are "the gates of hell" and the "fire which is not quenched.". In all these, as with all our understanding, we want to be scripturally consistent! One thing all men agree on, from the atheist to the Imam, we're all going to die. That's the problem. The solution is in resurrection (His and ours), but Christendom isn't satisfied with the answer. We don't fully appreciate the solution because we don't fully appreciate the curse. Christendom, as Tyndale argued, has relegated the resurrection to an afterthought, essentially unnecessary. And what stands in the way of fully appreciating resurrection? The traditions of men.
