reincarnation proof in the Bible ?

Question

In Mt 11:14 it says that : "And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come." Some claimed that Elijah was reincarnated as John the Baptist. Anyone knows more about this ?

Answer 1

I am hoping this helps.

In Mt 17:10 is shows that some had even mistaken Jesus as Elijah. If you turn to Mt 16:14-16, it shows they mistook Jesus for John the Baptist as well as Jeremiah. If you keep reading to verse 16 though it clearly shows this was not the case.
This was because about 450 years after Elijah’s time, Malachi prophesied that Elijah the prophet would appear “before the coming of the great and fear-inspiring day of God.” The Jews of Jesus’ day were in expectation of Elijah’s coming to fulfill this prophecy.
Now back in reference with your question as both parts explain the answer.
Another scripture that lead people this misunderstanding is
Mt. 17:12, 13: “[Jesus said:] ‘Elijah has already come and they did not recognize him but did with him the things they wanted. In this way also the Son of man is destined to suffer at their hands.’ Then the disciples perceived that he spoke to them about John the Baptist.”

Did this mean that John the Baptist was a reincarnated Elijah? When Jewish priests asked John, “Are you Elijah?” he said, “I am not.” (John 1:21) What, then, did Jesus mean? As God's angel foretold, John went before Jehovah’s Messiah “with Elijah’s spirit and power, to turn back the hearts of fathers to children and the disobedient ones to the practical wisdom of righteous ones, to get ready for God a prepared people.” (Luke 1:17) So John the Baptist was fulfilling prophecy by doing a work like that of the prophet Elijah.—Mal. 4:5, 6.

I sited all my scriptures in case you wanted to view them yourself. I can understand why someone may have the wrong understanding of Mt 11:14 but as you see the explaination is quite easy. :)
I hope that helped.

If you go back to the beginning of Chapt 11 in Matthew, John the Baptist sent two of his disciples to ask Jesus if he was the "Coming One" (the Messiah), or were they to look for someone else. Jesus told the people basically to see the miracles he had performed. He goes on to say that John the Baptist was the the messenger sent to prepare the way for Jesus and this is referenced in Malachi 3:1. In Matt 11:13, Jesus says that there were prophets prior to John the Baptist who prophesied and the law prophesied until John. I believe that Matt 11:14 is Jesus saying that John the Baptist is like Elijah who was a prophet, too, and that John the Baptist, was also the one prophesied in Malachi to be the one to prophesie and prepare the way for Jesus,not that he was Elijah reincarnated.

Answer 3

John was not a resurrected Elijah, but he took on Elijah's prophetic role - bodily confronting sin and pointing people to God. See 1 Kings 18

Answer 4

Jesus said, "those who love their lives will lose it, those who hate it will keep it for ever, those who give it freely for my sake will live."

"This generation will not pass away til they see the son of man return in his glory."

Hardly was John the Baptist reincarnated. No. But, Jesus said that John was the very same Elias that Isais was referring to. This is one of the lesser proofs of Jesus' true identity.

Why do I say lesser? If you know Jesus than you know the Father.

frequently even as making use of the be conscious "reincarnation" human beings propose that you're going to die then benefit a clean existence into another style alongside with a butterfly, a cow, or another type of existence style. The bible teaches that we are able to be raised to existence and we are able to have a "new" body. a million Corinthians 15 touches on the challenge: 35 yet someone will say, “How are the useless raised up? And with what body do they arrive?” 36 stupid one, what you sow isn't made alive except it dies. 37 And what you sow, you do not sow that body which will be, yet mere grain—possibly wheat or another grain. 38 yet God supplies it a body as He pleases, and to each and every seed its own body. 39 All flesh isn't a similar flesh, yet there is one type of flesh[c] of guys, yet another flesh of animals, yet another of fish, and yet another of birds. 40 There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; besides the undeniable fact that the consideration of the celestial is one, and the consideration of the terrestrial is yet another. 40-one there is one glory of the solar, yet another glory of the moon, and yet another glory of the celebs; for one action picture star differs from yet another action picture star in glory. 40 2 So is likewise the resurrection of the useless. The body is sown in corruption, that is raised in incorruption. 40 3 that is sown in dishonor, that is raised in glory. that is sown in weak spot, that is raised in skill. 40 4 that is sown a organic body, that is raised a non secular body. there's a organic body, and there is a non secular body. 40 5 And so that is written, “the first guy Adam became a residing being.”[d] The very last Adam became a existence-giving spirit. 40 six besides the undeniable fact that, the non secular isn't first, besides the undeniable fact that the organic, and later on the non secular. 40 seven the first guy replaced into of the earth, made from dirt; the 2d guy is the Lord[e] from heaven. 40 8 As replaced into the guy of dirt, so are also those who're made from dirt; and as is the heavenly guy, so are also those who're heavenly. 40 9 And as we've borne clone of the guy of dirt, we will also undergo[f] clone of the heavenly guy.

Reincarnation was in force in the first years of "christianity but was abolished on 529 AD during Justinian and Theodora's of Byzantine 5th ecumenical synod which is called Pseudosynod.(from 3000 bishops there were present only 300).
In the new testament we have many points that indicate that Jesus was accepting the reincarnation.

"who do they think am I?" He asked his disciples. and they answered... "Propfet Helia, Hsaiha or an other of the minor prophets".... Unfortunatelly I cannot recall the refs....but u can check in your bible.

"Why was he born blind? who is to blaim ??? He or his parents?"
The case of the born blind , who was healed by Jesus...who didn't prompted the question..."How is it possible someone to be born blind for his sins?" but he replied.... "nothing of these but in order to be glorified the Name of the Father".

an other point is.."Don't judge ....to not be judged"

an other point is "Peter you gave a knife....U'll get a knife"

It is nice to see people to study the bible and to make questions and not accepting everything "blindfold" and take everything for granded....

The bible is often misconstrued. It does not support reincarnation.
