Is it true that a soul does not change its gender over several lives?

Question

I heard someone commenting that over several lives (human or not-human), a soul retains its gender actually allotted to it since inception. Like a men will have a masculine gender always irrespective of species he is born into. Same with women.

Is that true? Your views plz.......

By gender I mean the gender of the body in which the soul resides. I know that a soul is asexual.

Answer 1

Soul is more like an energy form...its does not have sex...sex is something exclusive and unique to certain species like humans...what if you are reborn as a sexless bacteria that reproduces through fission? Think bout it...sex is only for certain species...there are millions of life forms in the entire universe...and so there even may be more than 2 sexes lol...so since ur soul can reborn into any life form...its clearly defined that soul has no sex...

Answer 2

No. This is not true. Inception only has to do with the Physical side of things.
When we come back, we can come back as either gender, decided before the soul/spirit joins the fetus.
We have to experience life many times as both genders.
Until we get it right, right as a woman/girl, right as a man/boy. We live many, many lives until our lessons on Earth are learned and we can progress to the "next" plane of existense.

There are many problems with the salvation-by works doctrine of reincarnation. First, there are many practical problems. For example:
1. We must ask, why does one get punished for something he or she cannot remember having done in a previous life?
2. 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?
3. 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 out its history?
There are also many biblical problems with believing in reincarnation. For example, in 2 Corinthians 5:8 the apostle Paul states, "We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord." At death, the, the Christian immediately goes into the presence of the Lord, not into another body. In keeping with this. Luke 16:19-31 tells us that unbelievers at death go to a place of suffering, not into another body.
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 on earth, DIES ONCE, and then FACES JUDGMENT. He does not have a second chance by reincarnating into another body.

Answer 4

No, not at all. Souls do not have gender, only bodies. Over the course of several lifetimes, a soul can choose to inhabit either gendered bodies, or (depending on the animal) it may choose to inhabit an asexual species.

Answer 5

I don't think gender matters to a soul since gender is a physical manifestation. If you want to believe that a soul is bound to any gender then they should also be bound to a certain eye color or hair color or finger thickness. Until a soul comes back to tell us what is what it's all just speculation.

Answer 6

Of course not. That's an old fashioned and sexist myth. A dynamic of reincarnation is to experience all human qualities. I was male in my most recent life. There is no gender in the spirit. Only the physical realm has gender.

Answer 7

this is an engaging commentary, inspite of the indisputable fact that i'm particular not commonplace. I do have self assurance in some gender area, as you call it...same-sex bonding is powerful socially and psychologically. yet your description sounds like this is been taken to an risky severe. possibly it truly is a pendulum result, if those youthful adult men spent years accommodating their girlfriends' needs, and now they prefer a even as to themselves. with any success, they are going to locate a contented medium and be waiting for a lengthy time period relationship - even possibly marriage?

Answer 8

No, it's not true. Some may find life easier as a man or woman, but the experience of both genders is a requirement. One must not over identify with either.

Answer 9

According to the Vedic Literature, the highest authority of knowledge, the spirit soul evolves among different types of bodies according to one's desires and karma. In our present lifetime we are "molding" or next body, which may not necessarily be of the same gender, or even within the same species. The laws of karma are very stringent and complex and their application is beyond our comprehension, so assuring something like that in my opinion is only speculation.

Answer 10

Not necessarily so. We come here to learn lessons some can only be learned in a masculine body and some in a feminine body. Some change from one to the other in each new incarnation.
