If there is such a thing as reincarnation?

Question

what would you like to come back as

Answer 1

A Wolf,
or as my former human incarnation.

Answer 2

Reincarnation implies that the soul is immortal and separate from the body, but this is not Bible based. The soul dies with the Body and the Spirit of life we share with all forms of life, neither being greater. Everything that a person was is recorded in the Book of Life for later retrieval and placement in a resurrected body. In a way, that could be consider reincarnation, but you will still know who you are, with complete memories of your life, not just fragments. Also, you are resurrected as an adult, not born as a child.

There are those who think they are reincarnated, claiming they remember things from a previous life, but I would be more concerned that they were being fed info by a demon who wants to keep people away from the truth. Since demon or fallen angels, like all beings in the spirit realm, they live at a different rate of the passage of time (1000 human years = 1 day for them). For them, it has only been seconds or minutes between lives separated by decades or more for humans.

Answer 3

There is such a thing as reincarnation and you are unable to choose as your choice depends on your 'acts' in the previous life.
The Laws of Karma will determine your next life.

Answer 4

“The law of Karma (series of rebirth=reincarnation),” explained Mohandas K. Gandhi, “is inexorable and impossible of evasion. There is thus hardly any need for God to interfere. He laid down the law and, as it were, retired.” Gandhi found this disturbing.

On the other hand, the resurrection promise reveals that God has a deep interest in his creation. To bring a dead one back to life on a paradise earth, God has to know and remember everything about that person. God indeed cares for each one of us.—1 Peter 5:6, 7.

Millions who have died without knowing God have the prospect of being awakened in such a peaceful new world, for the Bible promises: “There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”—Acts 24:15; Luke 23:43.

The word “resurrection” is here translated from the Greek word a·na′sta·sis, which literally means “a standing up again.” Resurrection thus involves a reactivating of the life pattern of the individual.

The Creator of heaven and earth is infinite in wisdom. (Job 12:13) Remembering the life patterns of dead ones is not a problem for him. (Compare Isaiah 40:26.) Jehovah God also abounds in love. (1 John 4:8) Hence, he can use his perfect memory, not to punish the dead for the bad they have done, but to bring them back to life on a paradise earth with the personality they had before they died.

For millions weho believe in resurrection ,itwill mean being with their loved ones again. But imagine what it can mean for those who are living now. Take, for example, person who lost his father who has come to know the wonderful truth about God and his purposes. How comforting it is for him to know that his father is not trapped in an almost endless cycle of rebirths, each surrounded by wickedness and suffering! He is simply asleep in death, awaiting a resurrection. How thrilling it is for him to contemplate the possibility of one day sharing with his father what he himself has learned from the Bible!

Answer 5

Yes, I think that there is reincarnation because energy cannot be created or destroyed. I'd like to come back as a kid in with Pagan Parents. Simple enough, but I'd like to have grown up Pagan with out all the guilt and threats.

Answer 6

I believe that we are born again and our past life is completely wiped out. I think this has been proven by people who have regressed back to another life when they have been under hypnosis. It is on record that an american woman under hypnosis could regress back to three other lives. In fact they made a film of it . The film was titled "the three faces of eve". it is a true story, and if you ever get the chance to see this film it is very good.

Answer 7

Well, there is.

And I'm working on coming back as a geek next lifetime, so I can fix this damn thing whenever it gets uppity. Computers and technology, the future lies in being a geek.

However, if I had my choice, I would like to come back as my own house cats.

Answer 8

There is no such thing as reincarnation.

Answer 9

When I was a rat, a good few years ago, I moved districts to escape the wrath of public rebellion. Twenty years on, when I thought I had mended my ways, some jerk from my past gossipped about my past misdemeanours. So yes, reincarnation exists, but to those who appose it, it lasts forever..........

Answer 10

Fathers know best:
John Chrysostom



"As for doctrines on the soul, there is nothing excessively shameful that they [the disciples of Plato and Pythagoras] have left unsaid, asserting that the souls of men become flies and gnats and bushes and that God himself is a [similar] soul, with some other the like indecencies. . . . At one time he says that the soul is of the substance of God; at another, after having exalted it thus immoderately and impiously, he exceeds again in a different way, and treats it with insult, making it pass into swine and asses and other animals of yet less esteem than these" (Homilies on John 2:3, 6 [A.D. 391]).


Basil the Great



"[A]void the nonsense of those arrogant philosophers who do not blush to liken their soul to that of a dog, who say that they have themselves formerly been women, shrubs, or fish. Have they ever been fish? I do not know, but I do not fear to affirm that in their writings they show less sense than fish" (The Six Days’ Work 8:2 [A.D. 393]).

Answer 11

I believe in reincarnation, because I am Hindu and I feel that is reasonable.
