God's way of saying "You get a do-over". Seriously, I sure hope there is reincarnation, I have f@@cked up this life pretty well. I need a do-over! And, if any Christians are lurking here, there is a reason I posted this on "other religions'. From what I understand, the Bible even recognizes reincarnation. Do you believe in it?

We change bodies even in this life. Every cell in your body is different from those of your childhood. Be it abrupt or gradual, the soul does transmigrate. What I think is important is to remember that the stronger your claims are, the more dogmatic you become. To say there is only one life is a strong claim that no Christian can prove. Better to let people be who they are and believe what they like than to force trivial matters on them. A Christian won't love Jesus any less if she believes in reincarnation.

When I wasn't Christian I was in a spiritual journey and read at the library about Hinduism. What strike me the most was reincarnation(similar to Buddhism) because you repeat the cycle of life all over again and get a fresh new start. My life was a mess and wanted a way out to get rid of it. I was interested that on the day I died will be reborn and come back as a man, woman or even an eagle and fly far far away.
I still have a small booklet on teaching of reincarnation I kept it because it reminds of me who I used to be.
But that all changed when I came to Jesus Christ by faith because there is a Heaven and Hell and all of us will go to one of those places some day.
There's a verse in the Book of Hebrews that refutes reincarnation
In Hebrews 9:27 we read "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"
We only get one chance in life after we die nothing more can be done to relive again. At the resurrection, everyone is going to wake up from their grave and face God. They will give Him an account of their lives for things done on earth good or bad. However, its different with Christians because they've "pass from death onto life" because Jesus Christ paid the price for their sins and gave them a ticket to Heaven.
So no I don't believe in reincarnation anymore!

I was referring to the part in the Bible where Jesus said, unless a man be born again, he will not know the kingdom of heaven. I can't quote you chapter and verse, but it's in the Bible.

Oh... that verse. You must not have read past that then. The verses directly following it... explain. It's a metaphor. The bible can be tricky... but you gotta read the whole thing if you want to try and make sense of it. Nicademus then said "HOW?" and Jesus went on to explain it's a spiritual rebirth... not a physical one.
No reincarnation. Christians don't need a "do over".

Now the word of the lord came to me saying"before I formed you in the womb,I knew you;and before you were born,I consecrated you,and I appointed you a prophet unto the nations."(Jeremiah 1:45). Rabbi,who sinned,this man,or his parents,that he was born blind?(John 9:2). Now read this carefully. Is it not being suggested that this man may have sinned previous to being born,consedering that he was BORN blind? Would this question have even been asked if it was'nt a widely accepted belief in biblical times that reincarnation was possible? Next we read Matthew 11:14-15,the writer,speaking of John the Baptist has this to say"and if you are willing to understand what I mean,he is Elijah,the one who the prophets said would come,and if you were ever willing to listen,listen now! The living new testament. On one occasion preists and levites were sent from Jerusalem to ask John the baptist who he was. He told them he was not the Christ. They replied"what then,are you Elijah"he replied"I am not"(John 1:21). Read about the Transfiguration in matthew and Mark. Again more references to reincarnation. I'm tired of typing so I will end with this. Revelations 3:12 for him that overcometh,I will make a pillar into the temple of my God and he will go out no more. Go out no more! We will continue to be reborn until we perfect ourselves. Only then shall we return back to ONE never to be reborn again. Just because someone doesn't believe exactly what you believe doesn't make them wrong and I damn sure doesn't mean yours is the truth,whole truth,a nothing but the truth. Acceptance and love to all. ONE.

I get that a lot vbd2014. GingerJesus lol! Seriously though,I get soooooo irritated by people who are so small minded that they believe everything they are fed by other sources instead of gathering evidence and using common sense. Reincarnation is accepted by tons of other faiths and I'm sorry but true christinaty is almost dead,it needs to be revived by people who aren't sheep. Jesus was a true HUMAN BEING,someone we should all aspire to be like and I'm damn sure doent approve of how his message and mission was distorted by the greed of men. I pray we all will finally wake up and realize that we are only one.

I believe that you reincarnate if you have made mistakes in your previous life. I am a firm believer that unless you are perfect and make no life mistakes you will not reach your spiritual enlightenment/heaven/ whatever you believe in. I am extremely spiritual and I can very easily read people and if you can read others you can tell the many layers of a person, with every past life you've had, the less mistakes you'll make and the less problems you will have.

Why is ppl so angry here, to know god is to know love, everyone has their own spiritual journey. I feel its very personal, your relationship with god. When ppl try and force their beliefs on others, its directly going against the teachings of the bible, tho shall not judge. Why wag your spiritual finger in someone face, everyone is responsible for their own salvation. Im just happy when ppl are motivated to do the right thing, whats right for you might not be right for me, we all live very different lives according to our personal journeys, no two ppl have the same life experience, it makes me feel hopeful in terms of the world we live in....no one knows whats gonna happen after we pass away....just make this life count...

Exodus 34:7 says you pay for your sins for three lifetimes and your blessings follow 1000.
Exodus 4:11 says all deformities come from God...Some are born without arms and legs and others Tiger Woods. There are no coincidences.
Life is not luck of the draw. There are over 100 karma verses in the Bible. Leviticus 26
The Jews believed in reincarnation, so the Church started Heaven and Hell teaching. This earth is the only Heaven and Hell we will ever see.
Hebrews 9:27 is talking about reincarnation

No 2 people will ever have exactle the same beliefs. Faith is a journey,a walk. It is interesting that the early church did embrace reincarrnation. it wasn't until the catholic church in around 300 or so ad made the belief in reincarnation prohibited by its members that it became taboo.

Yes' I believe in reincarnation. Our bodies are only shells that house our true selves' which is spirit. This is a school & were still in grade school. God is Love & a father/mother does not punish us. We all live by cause & effect. We reap what we sow & learn how to love & forgive hopefully. The bible does speak of reincarnation.we are all ONE, we should not be divided by so called religion which is man made as a tool for control. God loves us all equally. Peace

I did a past life regression once that had interesting results. I was in the ancient world. I didn't know much about the ancient world, so I didn't have data to add to it. anyway, an important memory was walking by a temple that sacrificed people. ten years after the regression, archaeologists found a temple that looked similar and had details that matched my memory. Was I really there at some point? Or did I somehow access shared consciousness through time? i don't know/don't care. this life is what's important to me right now.
I have hypnotized people and asked them to access knowledge they couldn't possibly have. Even things I didn't know but were able to confirm later were accurate. I won't divulge the technique though. And the knowledge isn't particularly useful. for instance, i can't get lottery numbers or that sort of thing...

I watched in horror as I wrapped my family in my arms, while the world slipped into oblivion. I was a scientist on another world, but they ignored my warnings and we lived out the rest of our days periodically emerging from our bunker to tend to crops.
Apparently the word "coexistence" was limited to the superficial world of man, while the life sustaining aspect of our planet was seen as an inconvenience. It wasn't a solar flare, meteor, or rouge black hole that consumed our world, but our ignorance.
I've been here for a long time, as knights, samurai, always a noble servant to the collective.

when you analyze what it is that we truly are, reincarnation becomes a reasonable possibility. We are the consciousness ( soul ) that powers the mind and senses that inhabits the body. If we truly are made in the "image" of the creator, as drops of consciousness in an ocean of consciousness, then we are also immortal. Where does our true self go when the body dies?
If it is true that we reap what we sew, how then do those souls with karmic burdens simply fly away into the afterlife?
They must be reborn to a body to work through the reactions to what they have done, good or bad , in the past.

Yes, I believe in reincarnation, loving parents eventually give their disobedient kids another chance after being grounded. If God is love as they say, how could God give only 1 chance and if ya screw up burn you in hell? That doesn't even make sense. That's saying earthly parents are more loving than God.

Same here. Yes I believe in Reincarnation. Earthly parents eventually give their kids another chance after grounding them. To say the Source, (God) gives only one chance then burns you in hell, contradicts the teaching of a loving God. I don't think earthly parents could be more loving than a God. That doesn't even make sense.
That crap has been taught to the masses for years, to the point they believe it.
And yes, if you know where to look, the Bible does teach reincarnation.

Ask them to forgive you.

Yes, I believe. I am a practicing Buddhist, and am convinced that we will be reincarnated, After death, our karma will ripen and a new life will emerge based upon our past actions. This happens life after life until one reaches enlightenment. Popular Buddhist advice is to live this life for your next life.

Judaism and christianity didn't start out with a hell. we sort of treat it all like Volume I. Or volume one and two. But the religions evolved (I didn't say matured, there's a difference) over time. Concepts of hell crept into the religion as they became more familiar with zorastrians. BTW, the 3 wisemen in the nativity story may have been zorastrian. Anywho, they have a concept of a burning after life. The idea is your bridge to a nice after life (heaven? some place not nasty? IDK) that bridge becomes wider/narrower, depending on how you behave here in this life. If you were someone like hitler, maybe it was super thin bridge and you fall over into a burning place. This place isn't permanent. It burns the impurities from one's soul. which then rises again and can cross over.
honestly I think it was just too complicated for people so they got the dumbed down version b/c it's easier to follow (be good or you'll burn).

You should really watch the above video... it has some very compelling evidence... but thats not the only reason to watch it... it talks about all kinds of stuff... like this girl that when operated on had no brain matter at all... just a brain stem was all she had... yet this brainless girl had a very high IQ and was college student... that's just a trip!!!
I personally hope reincarnation does not exists... I ok with being here but I certainly would not like to return...
