Life on Earth once, then the afterlife...or...we are born again in other human lives, until we finally reach enlightenment?

Maybe we must live each life in different circumstances and different places with different people and learn from it on our journey to enlightenment, that makes sense to me.

So we would keep being born again in different circumstances, until we learn over many lifetimes, everything we need to learn to finally find enlightenment.

thank YOU for asking!
I luv this question...why didn't I myself think about it??
I do believe in reincarnation.
I do believe that we have probably chosen the life that we are living now, in order to fullfill our karma and LEARN as much as we can.
i do believe that it's up to us, to go where we want , and lead our life to where we want it to go.
But some things are not up to us. We also have to deal with destiny or The Upper Forces...
let's say, it's 50-50.
what do you think?

In the Druid Philosophy one is reborn and reborn, we carry a little of every life we have lived, which makes us who were are in a given life. Between lives we are in the Summerlands, in perfect peace, within our souls waiting with out knowing we wait for our rebirth, carrying only wisps and faint memories of the lives before. Some are reborn with the gifts of the Ancestors who have lived through Milena and are great and wise. Others are here to learn so that they may take wisdom to the next life.

I believe in Jesus Christ who died for all my sins I believe that he died, rose and is in heaven on the right hand of the father. I also believe that when I die I will go to heaven and that I will no longer have pain, bills, and all the others things that go along with natural life. Then one day ther will be a new heaven and a new earth and that day is not far away.

Well the bible teaches that flesh and blood cannot enter into heaven because of the sinful nature. Then it be safe to believe that will have a spiritual body just like Jesus has but, we will still look the same as we did before.So the body you have now will turn back to dust from which it was made. Internal life is real regardless where we end up. I'd rather it be heaven than hell!

you’ll find from the Bible that people do not go either to heaven or hell at death. They go to their graves to await the resurrection day. Look in John 5:28, 29. “All that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth.” Even King David, the author of Psalms isn’t in heaven. You’ll find it in Acts 2:29, 34 “David. . .is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us unto this day.” “For David is not ascended into the heavens.”Hosea 13:14, NIV. "I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death."look in Isaiah 26:19 you’ll find the answer, NIV. "But your dead will live; their bodies will rise. You who dwell in the dust, wake up and shout for joy."1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17. “The Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, …and the dead in Christ shall rise…and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” in Philippians 3:20-21, NIV. "But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables Him to bring everything under His control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like His glorious body

We may have several options in this matter. Most of us may choose to return to earth in a physical body several times, for it may well be the fastest method of spiritual growth. We may also have the option of incarnating on any one of many different planets. Spiritual growth may be more difficult to achieve in the astral realm.

I believe that God made this earth to be inhabited. Adam and Eve sinned and man kind was given free will. Those who have lived good lives will come back in a resurrection to live forever on this earth and those who have been evil. Will never be back.
The sentence God gave Adam for dust your are and to dust you will return. He put life and death before us.

I'm a strong believer in reincarnation. I've been through several past life regressions and have recalled many past lives that I have lived.
Many religions believe in reincarnation as well (in fact most religions do). There has also been much scientific proof of reincarnation.

The bible clearly explains we are born once on earth - born again into the Spirit and then we are resurrected into the afterlife to an eternal heaven or hell. This is most certainly true. God bless you ~ Nisa

Equally valid [invalid] opinions
what about Nietzsche's view of the "eternal recurrence" ???
or the nihilistic
there is nothing after death
or
the nothingness of nirvana
whatever floats your boat....

Your born and you live your life then one day you die-and that's it.There is no afterlife,no anything.
We don't go to Heaven or Hell or anywhere,we're not reborn.We're just dead.
