Do you believe in resurection or reincarnation?

Question

In the year 600,A Roman Emperor,named Justinian,decided to erase the teaching of reincarnation from christianity,as if a common man can change the eternal laws of God!
The establisment at that time were so powerful that they even maintained that the sun orbited around the earth,that animals had no souls,as well as women....but Eternal Truth will prevail!
Reincarnation explains the different "injustices" that exist when people are born:why would God make someone completely poor and the other have everything?
It explains also the remembrances of past lives-mainly children-and birth marks onthe body,from previous lives.Some hypnotists can make you regress to past lives and cure you of strange diseases,do you know?
It is not a question ofbelief:it's facts!Scientific ones that have been experienced...http://childrenpastlives.com
is one site ...
also http://krishna.com

Answer 1

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 2

Some religions believe the SPIRIT is resurrected, not the physical body. Your spirit rises to heaven and you receive a "new" body. As this has yet to be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, it is a belief still.
Scientists can explain away a million things. Saw a program once about life after death experiences and why most everyone has the same story to tell once they have been brought back from the dead. Chemical reactions in the brain as it passes thru stages of death and oxygen starvation, etc. to make a long story short. I'm sure somewhere there is a scientist to explain the reincarnation theory too. WHO knows what to believe anymore.?? BUT, in the same respect, we all NEED something or someone to believe in. Quite confusing, isn't it??

There is no way to empirically prove reincarnation, however. What evidence we have comes from the testimony of people who claim to recall - sometimes vividly - people, places, things and events from what they believe could be their past lives. The skeptical viewpoint is that these recollections are little more than flights of fantasy and wishful thinking.

Answer 3

It took me a while, but I finally found my short essay on reincarnation

"Yes, and there are scientific grounds for it.

When a person dies, their brain releases all that it's accumulated in one short blast of brain waves. Everything that was stored in the subconscious is flushed out in a shock wave. Well, when intercepted, by say an unborn child, which in this case would be a "blank slate", these brain waves are written into the child's subconscious. Voila, reincarnation.

Since the body is an extension of the soul and the mind is the conscious body of the soul, those brain waves basically are the soul.

Also, when two or more "blank slates" intercept these brain waves, the information is written on all of them. That's why some people have claimed to have the same past life.

But if no one dies near them at the time of birth, then the person could grow up without having a past life at all. Their mind would be developing with nothing to go by. All that really does is create a lack of the Deja Vu effect.

With this theory, that would also include the reincarnate of animals as people. "Well then, wouldn't those people react as an animal would then?" some people would ask. The answer is no and here's a very good quote to explain why.

"I do not react as a wolf would, I react as a wolf would whose soul has been placed in a human body and raised in a human society for 18 years."

On a scientific level, which would you be more inclined to believe, this theory? Or that we go up into the sky and be judged for our actions whether they be good or bad AS DEFINED BY a god of disputed religions?"

Answer 4

The weakest argument under the sun is god said so !
No I don't believe in life after death . what about the word death don't people understand ? We are supposed to live in a world of education where superstitions are just that superstitions I can't under stand how intelligent people drift back into the utter ignorance of those days where education and knowledge were questionable at best. please don't take this as an offense but people should be more in tune with the vast field of science that dismisses these baseless backwards kinds of thinking. they are totally specious and inappropriate for the contemporary mind.
there is no evidence to support your conclusions of hypnosis .
Even UFO incounters by the same method are shrouded in total disbelief as proof of alien incounters by science.the Mind can play tricks under a trance but it doesn't prove reincarnation,or that the world is flat for that matter .psuedo science to me !

Answer 5

Good and bad will rise for Resurrection........as Jesus promised....whereas the book of Veda is a myth...reincarnation is a random belief about life after death.....depends on what deeds you performed during when you're alive.....if you are bad then you will reincarnate to some animals. I don't recommend that way either......

Answer 6

reincarnation doesn't work . In buddhism, it supposed to get rid of selfish/evil desires, yet the world (man) is way worse now than it was thousands of years ago.

Answer 7

Please don't preach Hinduism. I don't believe that the Sun sets in a hole in the Earth, but rather that the Earth revolves around the Sun.

Answer 8

you lost me when asking "why would God...". Those arguments never have a solid basis after that.
