Answer:
The Bible doesn't say the soul is immortal. Plato and the Greek philosophers said it.
The Bible says that the soul dies: "...the soul that sinneth, it shall die..." (Ezek.18:4 & 20). That makes it "mortal."
But wait... there is one passage in the Bible that says the soul is immortal. Satan said it:
"...the serpent said unto the woman, YE SHALL NOT SURELY DIE..." (Gen.3:4).
Perhaps the philosophers got their vain ideas from him.
"...The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain..." (I Cor.3:20).
"...Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." (Colossians 2:8)

When did the words 'immortal' and 'soul' first appear together in the Bible?
I do not believe you will find the actual phrase 'immortal soul' in the Bible. In fact, some sects say the soul is not immortal and there is no life between physical death and 'the resurrection of the body' on judgment day.Another answer:The phrase "immortal soul" does not appear in the Bible. However, between the promise of eternal life for the faithful believer (John 3:16) and the question asked by Jesus in Matthew 16:26 (For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?), the Bible clearly teaches that the soul of man IS immortal, and that its ultimate disposition is solely in the hands of God.Ecclesiastes 12:7 - Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it.Matthew 10:28 - And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.[Quotes from NKJV]
