Reincarnation, your feelings?

Answer 1

I'm beginning to be convinced....Seems like nature loves recycling...Oxygen, water, why not us?

Answer 2

Sorry, but mathematically reincarnation is not possible. Buddhist originally believed in it. Now, most Buddhist leaders no longer believe in it. Why? They have done the math.

You can see the math by laying out 2 pennies, they have 6 children(6 nickels), and then die. When the 6 nickels have 12 children (dimes). Only 2 souls are available that being the 2 original pennies. There would be no available soul to reincarnate in the other 10 children (dimes).

Now if you mean that only a few folks are reincarnated, then that is mathematically possible. Example when your great grandmother died before you were born, then it would be mathematically possible for her soul to be reincarnated into your body.

Answer 3

If the purpose of Karma is to rid humanity of its selfish desires, then why hasn't there been a noticeable improvement in human nature after all the millennia of reincarnations?
If reincarnation and the law of karma are so beneficial on a practical level, then how do advocates of this doctrine explain the immense and ever-worsening social and economic problems - including widespread poverty, starvation, disease, and horrible suffering - in India, where reincarnation has been systematically taught through its history?
Further, Hebrews 9:27 assures us that "man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment." Each human being LIVES ONCE as a mortal, DIES ONCE, and FACES JUDGMENT. He does not have a second chance by reincarnating into another body.

Answer 4

Reincarnation offers a chance to come back, in some form, to learn the lesson you didn't learn the first, second...or hundredth time around. If the choice is between reincarnation and going to hell....I take reincarnation.

Answer 5

i completely believe in reincarnation. i know there is no proof..but..in my opinion, who cares if there's no proof? it would be hard to proove the existence of reincarnation anyways because the subject is so complex. sometimes u just have to believe.

to me, reincarnation explains things that can be dubbed "unexplainable". such as phobias for example. i am afraid of water. i seriously can't stand water and never have been able to. i can't even *drink* water for that matter! i have no reason not to like water, because i've never actually had a bad experience with water. could it be reincarnation? in the case of reincarnation, maybe i drowned in a previous life?
so my point is, past lives can be the answers to a lot of things..not only strange fears. some people say that past lives can be the answer to health problems too.

Answer 6

My first two incarnations in Atlantis...I believed in Reincarnation.

The last three I wasn't too sure.

Now I'm convinced there isn't any reincarnation.

But I have had a prophetic dream that in the next incarnation, I go back to reincarnation as a truth.

Answer 7

You can never step in the same river twice (an old proverb). But the Nile will always be the Nile. For better or for worse, we will all be reincarnated, as ourselves. (I mean resurected, as spoken of in the book of Isaiah, the bones came together and flesh formed on the bones,...)

Answer 8

reincarnation is based on several wrong premises

its not consistent with Hebrews 9:27 It is appointed for man to die once and then comes judgment

if people came back again and again and again they would tend to just get worse and worse and worse being fallen people

it is not your works and goodness that saves... as reincarnation woudl claim... it is leaning on the perfect work of Jesus on the cross that saves

Answer 9
