do u believe in reincarnation?

Question

Did u know? I've heard it mentions reincarnation several times in the Bible, but the Catholics took it out likE 800 yrs ago, or something, saying it goes against royalty. I guess I'll just have to look it up.

Do any of you believe in reincarnation?
Some times I pic. a screaming girl...

But what I do not get is when ur life dies, will it go to Heaven or go back to ur next body? I mean when ur LAST life dies and lets say u go to Heaven, will there be dozens of souls of ur's or will it just be the last one...?

Please give me ur thoughts on reincarnation, and does it go against christianity? (I don't think so.)

Cheers!

Dear manwoolly,
Actually, people could loose their last
lives and die, permanently. And then some people are just beginning to live their FIRST life. More FIRST lives could be coming in all the time.
Duh.
Use your brain.

Answer 1

Put it this way assume that it does not exist and try to live your life in a positive way so that your actions in this life live forever by benefitting those around you. That way if you come back you can see all the good work you've done!

Answer 2

The Bible does not even mention the concept of reincarnation. The Bible tells us that we die once and then face judgment (Hebrews 9:27). The Bible never mentions people having a second chance at life, or coming back as different people or animals. Jesus told the criminal on the cross, "Today you will be with me in Paradise!" (Luke 23:43), not "You will have another chance to live a life on this earth." Matthew 25:46 specifically tells us that believers go on to eternal life while unbelievers go onto eternal punishment. Reincarnation has been a popular belief for thousands of years, but it has never been accepted by Christians or followers of Judaism.



The one passage that some point to as evidence for reincarnation is Matthew 17:10-12 which links John the Baptist with Elijah. However, the passage does not say that John the Baptist was Elijah reincarnated, but rather that he would have fulfilled the prophesy of Elijah coming if the people had believed his words and thereby believed in Jesus as the Messiah (Matthew 17:12). The people specifically asked John the Baptist if he was Elijah, and he said "No, I am not" (John 1:21).

Answer 3

First of all 800 years ago the Christian Church was pretty much united. In the West, there was only the Roman Catholic Church. In the East, there was the Eastern Orthodox Church. (So, to correct what you said, it would have been the Western Christian Church that made any changes). I doubt that references to reincarnation were removed. It's a different view altogether. Think of reincarnation as a horizontal view & the traditional Christian view of afterlife as a vertical view. Reincarnation (horizontal view) requires a series of steps until perfection happens. The Christian (vertical)view claims that perfection happens upon death & entering into heaven. They both essentially get the soul to the same place.

Hi Sally!

Reincarnation is not true... In the Bible, Hebrews 9:27 says:
"Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment..."

We only die once, and then face God. Then, your soul is with God [If you accept Him as your Lord and Savior] or Hell, if you do not.

The Bible says in 2Corinthians 5:8 "We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord".

When you die, your sould does not linger, or go other places... It's strictly up or down.

That's why we say " We will go Home" when we die.. This place is not my home.

I have known people to go to heaven and come back..I know you've heard stories.. It's a real place!

On our website, you can hear real angels sing.. come and visit, and listen; It's a true story...

Answer 5

Boy, you are confused! You should really attend a good full gospel church! The Bible says that it is appointed to every man to die ONCE! When you die, it also says that you know or do nothing. You are asleep in Christ until He raises the dead. The dead in Christ shall rise first, and then the Christians that are alive shall be caught up with Him in the air. This is the Rapture. At judgement, all the dead shall rise, and every man and woman shall give account of his deeds, good or bad. We are a trinity, just as God is. God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Man has a body, a soul, and the Holy Spirit that is given when you accept Christ. Your body goes back to dust, from whence it came, the Spirit goes back to God, who gave it, and your soul sleeps until the dead are called to judgement. Then you are either found blameless in Christ, and allowed to enter the Kingdom of God, or you are found guilty and are cast into the lake of fire. There is no 'second time around'.

Answer 6

There were texts that talk about reincarnation but they were never *removed* from the Bible. They simply were not placed into the Biblical Canon because the scholars at that time recognized that it was not in harmony with scripture. The Bible states in Hebrews that a man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgement.

"27Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people..." Hebrews 9:27-8

But anyways, besides Biblically speaking...if reincarnation did exist I would not understand its purpose because we cannot remember our past lives. What is the point of being reincarnated if we cannot learn anything from it?

Answer 7

You look to key onto one sentence and obsess over it, my chum. answer: no longer all Jews perception in reincarnation. some believe the soul reincarnates until eventually one is righteous sufficient to affix G-d at the same time as death. some believe the soul reincarnates until eventually the Messiah/Messianic Age comes round. some do not believe in reincarnation in any respect (better of the favourite perception).

Answer 8

I do believe in reincarnation in a way, in that I am a spiritual being and not my body.

When my body dies I can choose what to do next, I can go to a heavenly place and relax, or I can chose to participate in another life, using a new body that is born.

Heaven and reincarnation do not conflict and it does not go against Christianity.

Answer 9

Reincarnation. Was probably written about, thousands of years ago....quite possibly, someone said it sounded spiritual enough to be considered as books to be studied, but turn down.

No. The bible does not say a ton of what people say it says. It is followers at the time were geographically-centric, paganistic, ritualistic, mystics abounding, type poeple

Answer 10

Reincarnation is anti-Christian and anti-Biblical. There is no verse in the Bible that supports it. The Bible talks of one death and one resurrection. But reincarnation is something else.

Reincarnation is proven as a devilish spoof. In cases of exorcism related to possessed "reincarnated" persons, Satan and his demons admit that they provide the knowledge and the visions of "past lives" to the individual, in order to lead the individual astray or confuse him/her. If you believe in reincarnation as a human or another creature, sin has little meaning except to reduce the "cycle" of lives, the growing population makes no sense, and being reincarnated as a human lower in the strata of society can expose you to prejudice as the societies in India and Japan show throughout history. It is an excuse for evil.

Frighteningly, many of the Nazis believed they were reincarnations of earlier kings or powerful individuals. (Dietrich) Eckart (who trained Hitler in techniques of self confidence, self projection, persuasive oratory, body language and discursive sophistry and to whom Hitler dedicated Mein kampf) and (Heinrich) Himmler are two strong examples. This unChristian or mostly occultist/polytheistic belief were later used to justify their crimes against humanity.

Don't be surprised if your visions of reincarnation are profoundly depressing or violent, that's exactly what Satan provides in order to frighten and confuse.
