like you had a previous life? Do you remember anything from it? If it was really true, we can find our old family, and talk about who we were, and they would be amazed. That hasn't happened yet, so I really don't believe it. Do you believe in it?

I say yes, and I can go into detail on this, but it would take a lot of writing.
I go by feel, my feelings are usually right, I know of some stories of young children that remember much of another life, but as they grow into this new life, they start growing out of the memories of the old.
I my entire life never even been on a pony, but feel like I can ride like the wind. I seen my Spirit Guide, I was told she new me from another life, I even know her name, and her name matches with my nationality. When I was younger I would see people in my head- like visions, detail of their faces, but I don't get that to much now, unless that was to do with my spiritual gift that I have. Some of this stuff is starting to come together for me, spiritually and if I was reincarnate, not easy trying to figure out why all these strong weird things happen to me.

This is an interesting site that I just found, you may want to check it out. I do believe in reincarnation and feel (know) that I have been here before. An interesting book that is a classic regarding reincarnation is" Many lives, many masters ". Another is "The akashic records "by Edgar Cayce both of which Ive read and recommend.

Christians don't believe in reincarnation—but I hope you'll understand why we don't, because a very important truth is behind our conviction.
Christians reject reincarnation for two main reasons. The first is because the Bible does not teach it, and in fact makes it clear that when we die we don't return to earth again but enter eternity—either with God in heaven or apart from God forever. The Bible says, "Man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment" (Hebrews 9:27).
The second reason Christians reject reincarnation is because Christ has paid the full penalty for our sins—totally and completely. He did this by His death on the cross for us. You say you hope to become perfect some day in another life—but Jesus has already made us perfect in God's eyes, by taking away all our sins! The Bible says, "But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Corinthians 6:11).
Think of it: Every sin you have ever committed can be completely cleansed, if you will turn to Christ in repentance and faith! Don't be deceived by a false hope, but put your faith and hope in Christ today.

Absolutely not. It is a logically self contradicting theory. It comes from Bhuddism which says that the reason there is pain and suffering in the world is because of distinctions. Saying a tree is different than a stalk of wheat is distinction, and the only way to eliminate distinction is to meditate. If you don't reach a higher state of being through meditation and eliminating distcintion before you die, *that* is when you become reincarnated and come back as an aardvark. Or whatever. If you do acheive this higher state of being through meditation and elimination of distinctions, you can cease the cycle of reincarnation and become immersed in Nirvana, which is like being a drop in an endless ocean. It falls apart here: If Nirvana is the essence of no distinctions, then, I am already in Nirvana, because there is not distinction between this reality and Nirvana. Does that make any sense?
Hope this helps!

I was once deceived by the whole new age thing - I used to go to a psychic, I read tarot cards, channeling, I checked it all out for about a year and then I realized that none of it gave me peace and that feeling I was hoping to find to soothe my soul...until I heard Greg Laurie speak @ Calvary Chapel - my husband and I went forward to ask Christ into our lives & immediately I knew it was right! I have peace, contentment & hope, no matter what the circumstances - none of that other baloney is true - it doesn't make sense, it's just trendy - nothing can compare to the truth of the bible. Check it out. The reincarnation thing is part of the "new age" movement and is a deception to distract you away from the truth. We do not have prior lives - however, your soul has depth and desires to know it's Creator - would you like for me to introduce you? He knows You real well.

I dont believe in reincarnation, but my friend does.
She believes that in her previous life she was a black (African-American) child in the 60's and was killed by way of gun fire.

It is a coincidence that you asked this question. Next weekend I am going to have a Past Life Regression by hypnosis. I saw a txhypnotist on here and I contacted him. He has graciously offered to help me non gratis. I am really looking forward to it. I have never been hypnotized before.

It's an interesting concept, and one I would like to believe in. However, there is no documented evidence, so I would have to say it is not possible.

I'm not sure. It would be nice if it was true, but since I have no past life memories, I can't be too sure it's real.
