WHY the LIE? (It was Rooted in "I")

Q: WHY the LIE?....the Lie of Immortality of the Soul?
1st LIE told on earth---Lucifer Lied to Eve... And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: Genesis 3:4

It has to do with the desire to be like God- ....the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; 
1 Timothy 6:15,16

And it was Lucifer's DESIRE of his heart to be like God- For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 
Isaiah 14:13,14

SUMMARY: The Dead are Dead until the Resurrection. 
The LIE that when you die your soul floats off to heaven is a myth from paganism that crept into Christianity. 
It's a LIE rooted in the "I" of the DESIRE of Lucifer's heart to be like God (who only has immortality).....
P.S.-Man had access to eternal life via access to the Tree of Life in Genesis (which God took away) and man will have access again according to Revelation one day. 
So, your immortality / eternal life is conditional. 
It's not the same as God. 
--You are NOT God--
