Question

I feel that it *may* be possible.(I have not made up my mind on this one yet)What about you?

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

Christians don't believe in reincarnation—but I hope you'll understand why we don't, because a very important truth is behind our conviction.

Christians reject reincarnation for two main reasons. The first is because the Bible does not teach it, and in fact makes it clear that when we die we don't return to earth again but enter eternity—either with God in heaven or apart from God forever. The Bible says, "Man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment" (Hebrews 9:27).

The second reason Christians reject reincarnation is because Christ has paid the full penalty for our sins—totally and completely. He did this by His death on the cross for us. You say you hope to become perfect some day in another life—but Jesus has already made us perfect in God's eyes, by taking away all our sins! The Bible says, "But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Corinthians 6:11).

Think of it: Every sin you have ever committed can be completely cleansed, if you will turn to Christ in repentance and faith! Don't be deceived by a false hope, but put your faith and hope in Christ today.

Answer 3

I was raised by a mother who was into "new age" and reincarnation. It's funny, I never did believe it, even when I was very small. Not sure why. And I felt God's presense, I knew God as a child. He was just, there.

But I am now a christian and the bible says, "We are appointed once to die and after that comes judgement"
Also most that believe in reincarnation say you come back to pay for past sins. What sin was so great that Jesus sacrifice on the cross didn't cover?
Jesus paid it all, unto to him I owe, sin had left a crimson stain he washed it white as snow.

Answer 4

genuinely, i am going to't say some thing about reincarnation because we haven't even found out what knowledge is yet. i do not position self assurance in any life after lack of life myself, yet reincarnation continues to be a hypothetical probability. the conception of heaven and hell is thoroughly incorrect because it signifies that your knowledge can only exist in 3 states (earth, heaven and hell) and the concept that it is managed through god only makes the conception look like obvious bullshit. Reincarnation appears like it is in all likelihood managed through the regulations of physics (if it is extremely authentic, it isn't likely until eventually we locate out that knowledge is) so it makes a lot more desirable sense than heaven and hell.

Answer 5

It is implicitly or explicitly suggested by the texts of virtually every major religion in the world (yes, this includes the Bible). Of course, that proves nothing, but it is interesting.

Answer 6

Hello there, it is a lie, and basic reasoning if you start from the beginning of two people, where did their child come from. it doesnt make sense, the only true thing to believe is resurrection and that was through Jesus christ who paid the price for our sins and offers eternal life in heaven if we truly believe on him to forgive our sins and be the lord and leader of our lives.

Answer 7

I don't believe in reincarnation.

Answer 8

Answer 9

I am warming more to it being possible as i hear of many cases that are hard to dismiss

Answer 10

It's theoretically possible (pretty much anything is), but I don't believe that it actually happens.
