Why followers of Abrahamic religions are haughty enough not to accept theory of reincarnation ?

Question

Researches and incidents world over prove this beyond doubt that human soul reincarnate in different bodies according to their Karma?

Answer 1

Orthodox Judaism believes in reincarnation.

Answer 2

Reasearch? Certainly no reasearch I've ever seen or heard of...

That said, the Abrahamic religions (speaking from a Christian view here) believe that each person who ever lived has their own, individual, unique soul, and is a unique creation by the Almighty.

The idea that a soul reincarnates invalidates the idea that every creation was planned and is unique by God's loving design.

Answer 3

there are bible quotes that say I knew you before you were born and you must be born agian(reincarnated) but they choose to ignore it before the year 525 reincarnation was believed without any problems, but the council of nicea decided that it undermined church authority

Apparently some Christians continued to believe in reincarnation even after the Council of Nicaea, because in A.D. 553 the Church found the need to single out reincarnation and condemn it explicitly. At the Second Council of Constantinople the concept of reincarnation, bundled together with other ideas under the term "pre-existence of the soul", was decreed to be a crime worthy of excommunication and damnation ("anathema"):

If anyone assert the fabulous pre-existence of souls, and shall assert the monstrous restoration which follows from it: let him be anathema.

Why would the Church go to such lengths to discredit reincarnation? The implicit psychology of reincarnation may be the best explanation. A person who believes in reincarnation assumes responsibility for his own spiritual evolution through rebirth. He does not need priests, confessionals, and rituals to ward off damnation (all ideas, incidentally, that were not part of Jesus' teachings). He needs only to heed his own acts to himself and others. A belief in reincarnation eliminates the fear of eternal hell that the Church uses to discipline the flock. In other words, reincarnation directly undermines the authority and power of the dogmatic Church. No wonder reincarnation made the Defenders of the Faith so nervous.

Despite the decree of 553, belief in reincarnation persisted among the rank and file. It took another thousand years and much bloodshed to completely stamp out the idea. In the early thirteenth century, the Cathars, a devout and enlightened sect of Christians who believed in reincarnation, flourished in Italy and southern France. The pope launched a crusade to stop their heresy, a half million people were massacred whole villages at a time, and the Cathars were totally wiped out. This purging set the tone for the brutal Inquisition that began soon after. Not only was a belief in reincarnation cause for persecution, but so was belief in any metaphysical idea that fell outside the bounds of Church dogma.

The murderous efficiency of the Inquisition proved effective. The persecution by the institutional Church has scarred our collective psyche and surrounded us with an invisible fence dividing what is safe from what is dangerous to believe. Since then, people who harbor forbidden ideas have learned to keep their thoughts to themselves. Our cultural memory still carries the fear of reprisal for publicly associating with any occult practices, the use of psychic powers, or a belief in reincarnation.

Here it is, the source of the double standard. No wonder so many people today believe in reincarnation privately but are afraid that if they come out publicly, they will be attacked for being weird—the modern word for heresy. Maybe by understanding where this fear comes from we can negate its hold on us and turn off the invisible fence. So when our children speak of past lives, we can follow our hearts and not our fears—and believe them.

Answer 4

Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment

He said it.
I believe it.
That settles it.

If that means I'm haughty, I can accept that.

Answer 5

There is no such proof. The only thing 'memories' of previous lives proves is that demons,(who would be aware of others' previous lives), have possesed the minds of those susceptable to such false beliefs as re-incarnation. Other examples of demonic influence: Astral Projection, drug or alcolhol induced demonic harrassment, pshycics, furtune tellors, mediums contacting the "dead".
Oh yeah, almost forgot, I think you miss-spelled Hotty!

Answer 6

i'm Christian and take no pastime in Pagan faiths. i do no longer know that a lot approximately a number of the religions you have stated yet i know slightly approximately Hinduism and Buddhism. Technically a faith is a faith that worships a extra robust potential, and a lot of Buddhists do no longer even believe in God. they believe in an countless cycle of reincarnation yet no writer, and that to me looks pointless. they are additionally very merciless in direction of Christians. Hinduism believes in lots of distinctive Gods and additionally in reincarnation. To me it quite is purely paganism. no longer something approximately there faiths is sensible.
