Answer 1

The concept of rebirth, as I've studied it within the realm of Buddhism makes logical sense to me.

Answer 2

Yes, definately. Read some books by James Van Praagh or Ruth Montgomery or others. They are fascinating books. I have become very interested in the topic and am frequenting that section in the library now. I believe it gives a much better overall picture than the Bible supplies. Christianity and reincarnation CAN go together.

Answer 3

Very true...Life is everlasting. Think about it this way... we were made from the earth and how long as that been around,billions,trillions of years? The universe moves in cycles,and so do we,it's a natural rhythm of life. That's what He meant when he said,"For everything there is season;and a time for every Purpose under Heaven."

Answer 4

If there is not rebirth, there is no God. Theory of God , necessitates re birth. Otherwise, how wicked who made many suffer be dealt. Persons who did good things, be rewarded.?
The present day generations, who r born with deffects, and who r born blind , lame, physically handicapped, with aids, and who r bornes ugly, who r born extremely ignorant r all , re incarnations of humans from past births carrying stupendous loads of sin on their body.

Answer 5

Define "true". No empirical evidence can be found to support reincarnation.

Answer 6

Ian Pretyman Stevenson, M.D., (born October 31, 1918, in Montreal, Canada, died February 8, 2007, in Charlottesville, Virginia), was a Canadian-American psychiatrist whose research interests included: children who claim to remember previous lives, near-death experiences, apparitions (death-bed visions), the mind-brain problem, and survival of the human personality after death.

In 1967, Stevenson was appointed as Director of the Division of Personality Studies (later renamed Division of Perceptual Studies) (DOPS) and, for a period was also Head of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Virginia.

Stevenson went on to conduct additional field research about reincarnation in Africa, Alaska, British Columbia, Burma, India, South America, Lebanon, Turkey, and many other places. The children studied usually started recalling their past life story between the ages of two and four, yet seem to have forgotten it by seven or eight. There were frequent mentions of having died a violent death, and apparently clear memories of the mode of death. Stevenson also gathered testimonies as well as medical records of information on birthmarks, birth defects, and other physical evidence for reincarnation.

Stevenson published only for the academic and scientific community, and his over 200 articles and several books—densely packed with research details and academic argument—are in places difficult for the average reader to follow. His research, over 3,000 study cases, provides evidence suggestive of reincarnation, though he himself was always careful to refer to them as "cases suggestive of reincarnation" or "cases of the reincarnation type."

Professor Stevenson retired in 2002, leaving his work to successors led by Dr. Bruce Greyson. Dr. Jim Tucker, a child psychiatrist, is continuing Ian Stevenson's work with children, focusing on North American cases.

Answer 7

if there is an afterlife, then reincarnation is one of the most likely possibilities.

Answer 8

Of course not. How could it be? Once dead, always dead. The numbers of those dead before us, don't match current numbers, and future population numbers will be even more out of whack with past history. Besides, it's poppycock.

“He’s dead, Jim,” the starship’s doctor pronounced solemnly, kneeling over the body, then looking over his shoulder for the captain, “Jim?” he repeated, then, looking down at the body again, said, “Oh, there you are, Jim!” -- John Wenger

Answer 9

Yep.
We all die.
We will all live again.
Some will live happy.
Some will live sad.
But, all will live again.
Not as a toad or cat,
or a dog or a rat.
But, as the same human you were before.
And you will be knocking on hells or heavens door.
