Difference between Mortal and Immortal

Mortal

Define the cause or what can cause spiritual or bodily death. Usually applied in religions to sin that is a serious offense to God. It is also used to define jumps or exercises performed by trapeze artists and gymnasts.

Immortal

It supposes infinite or indefinite existence surpassing death. Immortality is one of the original desires of the human being. It is considered the response to the anguish and fear produced in man by the awareness of his own mortality. According to philosophy, humanity would develop religions and their concepts based on the desire for immortality. The belief in individual eternal life is one of the characteristic Abrahamic monotheistic religions and in certain Judaic currents.

For some religions, man is made up of body and soul. When we die, the soul survives and its destiny is to join the body at the moment of resurrection or, for some religions, the moment of reincarnation.

There is also clinical immortality, an organism known as Turritopsis nutricula is the only living being that does not die, since it returns to its state of sexual immaturity (as a polyp) repeating this cycle indefinitely. It cannot be said that it is immortal, since it is not indestructible, but it lives eternally.

Differences between mortal and immortal

• Mortal is that which can define the cause of physical or spiritual death. It is also defined as deadly that which can cause death or as an adjective used to define an exaggerated desire.
• Immortal is that which supposes an infinite existence or the impossibility of being destroyed. Define that which surpasses death.
