Do you believe in reincarnation? Why?

Answer 1

I believe in reincarnation, I remember past lives and experiences that there is no way I could possibly have ever known about. Even as a child I remembered and knew things about past events that I had not been taught about in school.

Reincarnation makes sense to me, there is no reason why we couldn't have more than one life on this planet. It is a cycle for learning and experiences for the soul, and a choice to incarnate to learn and grow.

Reincarnation does not fit into the current model of Christianity because with reincarnation there would be no reason to repent or to accept Christ as Savior of your soul if you knew you had more than one lifetime to be with God. Without reincarnation, you can be kept in fear of hell and controlled by the church. Seems like a great way to control the masses by fear which is not what Christ taught at all.

Answer 2

I believe there is a phenomena that people call reincarnation.
Too many are having the experience.
I do not believe it is reincarnation though. I believe it is spirits
'attaching' theirself to someone pretty much like channeling.
People say that people are reincarnated to better their life the next time around. Also if people believe there is a reincarnation they can figure they can live it up in this life and do right in the next one. What good can it really be to try and improve life to life when you have no idea where you left off in the last one?
After all these thousands of years of souls coming back to better themselves shouldn't we be a perfect world by now? Also God doesn't need to reincarnate. He is not so limited that he has to recycle souls. The Bible says it is appointed once to die and then the judgment.

Answer 3

i dont believe in it but i saw some very interesting things about it, for example one guy started getting scars and memories and it turned out he had the exact scars compared to this other guy that died a long time ago, same thing with babies somehow they matched the scars and memories of the child with people that died before they were born and it was freaky of how the kids scars and memories of what they said was an afterlife matched up, but that is a rare phenonmenon who knows what god has in mind

Answer 4

Yes, I remember parts of past lives.

Answer 5

I Hope the LONG post before this one didn't keep you from seeing my answer down here.

No I don't belive in reincarnation. After this life one of two things are going to happen. Heaven or Hell and no second chance to "get it right".

Answer 6

What makes you think that reincarnation is true? Believing it to be true doesn't mean that it is. Yes, I know, believing Christianity true doesn't make it true either. But there is a big difference. In Christianity, we have Jesus. Jesus said He was the only way. “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me," (John 14:6). Jesus also performed many miracles. He walked on water, healed sicknesses, raised people from the dead, and claimed to be God in flesh. Because of these things, we need to look at Him seriously and consider what He is saying.
Now, if Joe Schmoe on the street said that he was the only way to God, we'd look at him and say, "Yeah, right." But, if Joe calmed a storm with a command, raised someone from the dead, walked on water, etc., that would add a lot of credibility to his claim. After all, he is demonstrating extraordinary abilities consistent with his extraordinary claim.
This is the case with Jesus. He made extraordinary claims and performed extraordinary deeds. Therefore, it is logical to conclude that what Jesus said was true -- especially since He claimed to be God (John 8:24,58; 10:30-33; 5:18).
Jesus commissioned the apostles to teach and preach the Christianity faith. In Heb. 9:27 it says, "And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment." This verse alone shows that reincarnation is not true. Also, reincarnation negates the necessity of the Cross because reincarnation teaches you can have different lives in which to try and "get it right." Not so in Christianity. According to the Bible, God gives us one chance to escape the clutches of sin and damnation. God has given us the Law which states that we are not to lie, to cheat, or steal. But, we all have. Therefore, we are all under the judgment of God and He will execute His judgment upon sinners on the Day of Judgment. If reincarnation is true, then there is no Day of Judgment, no need of a sacrifice, no need to trust in Christ.
A person needs Christianity because reincarnation does not remove sin. Also, reincarnation contradicts the Bible which presents Jesus with His miracles, fulfilled prophecies, resurrection, and so much more. Reincarnation denies the Day of Judgment. Also, think about this. Reincarnation works with karma, the idea that your past lives "goodness" or "badness" affects the quality and position of your next incarnation. The purpose of reincarnation is to help you develop perfect karma by which you might then achieve a union with the divine consciousness after you have learned whatever it is you are supposed to learn. The problem is that each person had a first incarnation. That means that each person then had perfect Karma since he had no previous life and had done nothing wrong. Therefore, if he had perfect Karma and didn't learn or do what he was supposed to in his first life, then what makes him think that after hundreds of incarnations with accumulated bad karma that he will be able to achieve the perfect state of union with the divine consciousness that reincarnation moves him toward? It doesn't make any sense.
But what does make sense is that there is one God who has revealed Himself in Jesus Christ and the only way to have your sins forgiven is to trust in Him and not your own efforts through various lives to try and become perfect. That is why you need Jesus, because reincarnation is not only false, it is empty.

Answer 7

No because the Bible teaches that it is "appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment (Hebrews 9:27). So we appointed to die once so if you can only die in the flesh one time then a person cannot be reincarnated into someone or something else.

Answer 8

I don't care about reincarnation.
I only care about the life I'm living right now.
I heard you wouldn't remember a thing after you reborn anyway.

Answer 9

Well, I think that it is the most likely to happen, but I am in no way sure. I don't even understand life, I'm not going to claim to understand death...

Answer 10

No, because the Bible talks about a Heaven and Hell
