Christ rose from the dead. That is the concept of resurrection. When ordinary mortals are reborn it is reincarnation. Was resurrection indeed the reincarnation of Christ and people gave it a fancy name to distinguish it exclusively as Jesus' reincarnation.

No. See, ressurection is when you return from the dead in the same body and life that you had before you died.
Reincarnation is moving on to an entirely different body and life.
Two entirely different things, if you asked me.

The concept of Reincarnation is a 'Far Cry' from the reality of Resurrection! Compare the two teachings:

No, the same Jesus Christ who was crucified was the Jesus Christ who was raised 3 days later. The same body that was nailed to the cross walked out of the tomb 3 days later. The Bible makes it clear that Jesus' resurrection isn't a myth or symbol. Instead, it really happened! The hardened Roman soldiers who crucified Him knew He was dead when they took Him down from the cross and laid Him in a borrowed cave-like tomb. But on the third day that tomb was empty, and later hundreds saw Him.
Why is this important? Because it tells us there is hope—hope for this life, and hope beyond the grave. Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies" (John 11:25). This hope can become yours, as you turn in faith to the living Christ and ask Him into your life.

No. At our Lord's first advent, that was the incarnation of the Christ as Jesus on earth. When Jesus rose from the dead he rose body and spirit. He rose with a glorified body, but he rose as he died----as God. the doctrine of reincarnation states that the soul goes through successive incarnations to achieve perfection and then is absorbed back into the cosmic mind. God is already perfect and does not need to reincarnate. Jesus is God but he is only one person of God. Because the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit always agree as one God dies on the cross and God rose from the dead. God is complete in himself; therefore, there is no other perfection that he must achieve and no place for him to go. The resurrection of Christ happened so that we who believe in the atoning grace of Christ and receive his mercy shall become like him in the first resurrection of the dead. Because we will become like him there will be no need to go through any further incarnation. As for they that believe not there will be no need for them to go through another incarnation that they might believe, because if they believed not the first time, then they will not believe the second, or the third, or the forth, ect.

In the Bible there is no reincarnation.
God resurrected Jesus from the dead.
All the other humans who were raised by Jesus and prophets came alive in their same body, and children looked the same as when they died. They also died again and will be resurrected a second time.
God can put you in a different body if he wants to. Jesus was a spirit, then a man, and now is a spirit again, that is 3 bodies. With God all things are possible.

The way I understand reincarnation is that you come back as something or someone different. Do I understand that correctly? With resurrection, you are still the same person, just made perfect, as Christ is perfect

Reincarnation refers to the belief that a being comes back in a different body. Jesus is believed to have returned to life in the same body.

These two are completely different concepts. Semitic beliefs (Jews, Christians, Muslims) do not believe in re- incarnation. Resurrection of every human is a basic belief with them. There is only one,this,life; then there is accountability after resurrection.

properly, you haven't any longer have been given the attributes of resurrection perfect. at the beginning, there are 2 forms of resurrection: Resurrection to IMmortality, and resurrection to Mortality. you have lumped them mutually and gotten them perplexed. The resurrection of the saints at Christ's coming, is a resurrection to immortality, right into a non secular physique (no longer the comparable physique); however the resurrection of judgment (John 5:29) is probable the comparable physique (regardless of the indisputable fact that i think cleansed and restored of ailment and such), and not mortal, and not a reward, and not mind-blowing, and could ensue greater effective than as quickly as, and is by way of no skill appropriate. to boot that, there are various differing ideals on reincarnation. So, you have lumped those mutually too. -~<=>~- a minimum of Stampede knows approximately the two distinctive resurrections, regardless of the indisputable fact that he/she is likewise perplexed. .

Reincarnation is the idea that you come back in a *different* body, though. Assuming we were to believe the stories, jesus came back in the same one.
