If everyone is constantly reborn, and hell is eternal, then statistically, wouldn't everyone end up in hell.

Question

Just a thought...

Mephistopheles, You are incorrect. Statistically, there are positions that people are placed in that cause them to sin. So say every "reborn" has a percentage that they will commit a mortal sin... Statistically speaking everyone will eventually go to hell. (the final soul would probably commit suicide.)

lokotz, your ambiguity is indomitable!!!

Answer 1

Those statements are referring to two entirely separate religions: Christianity, and Hinduism (along with others). To be reborn you have to believe in reincarnation, and Christianity doesn't. But good question.

Answer 2

Buddhism says you are constantly reborn (until you finally reach the "highest mental state") and Judaism / Christianity / Islam say there is a special torture chamber waiting for those who don't accept their teachings. You're mixing the Buddhist afterlife policy with the hell policy of the other 3 main religions.

Answer 3

if you look at it from a narrow point of view and take everything a preacher says literally.

have you forfotten that the bible wasn't written by God, it was written by flawed humans who had their own values and opinions.

also, since the time of their conceptualization, the world has changed in ways they could never have foreseen.

Still if we follow the line of thought as you see it, would it not also be possible that there are those who have been kicked out of hell for doing and being good, despite adversity and cruelty?
The cycle goes on and on, with no end in sight.

Well I hope that helped, at least thats my thoughts on your "thought".

mahalo

Answer 4

I don't think there are any religions that believe in both reincarnation AND an eternal hell. Buddhism has hell realms, but these are just worlds like our own in which you die and are reborn.

Answer 5

that would be... if you consider hell to be everywhere and everyone is constantly reborn. Hell shouldn't be considered ageless or endless, cause if all you do there is get tortured, there's no point for it to be big. And rebirth is an idea/belief, not everyone believes it.

Answer 6

One birth and one death, no one is reborn.

Born again mean you have found Yeshua and through Him you have a new spiritual life in the same body you have before you found Him ( actually He found you first).

Answer 7

enable me make sparkling that for you. even as it really is asserted that anybody "advantages hell" it really is going to be defined that it really is our sins that separate us from the love of God. God is holy and righteous and His nature is so as that He can not be round sin. understanding that and yearning for a courting with us, God despatched his in ordinary words Son, Jesus Christ to die so as that we'd be in a position to fellowship with Him. i can not in no way understand or thoroughly clarify why it had to be like this. because I purely do not understand. yet i am going to allow you to realize I appreciate God and understand that even with His motives are for requiring issues i do not realize, is the way it can be. I probably have created extra questions and that i convey regret for that, yet it is the position my understanding comes from.

Answer 8

You have mixed up thoughts!
Reborn meaning REINCARNATION = when all is said and done they get to NOTHINGNESS....not a hell or heaven.

Hell IS Indeed Eternal, as is Heaven.

Answer 9

Yeah IF everyone is reborn. But that doesnt happen.

Answer 10

There is no hell. Life is so good and nice but you have to know only how to live.
