Pope Vigilius supported the teachings of the church of reincaration, it had been in effect for over 500 hundred years!
Emperor Justinian of Rome ordered the Pope arrested, because he refused to sign a Papal degree stating that anyone who believes that souls come from God and return to God will be punished by death. A group of Cardinals convinced the Emperor that if every soul had once pre-existed with God, then Christ wasn`t anything special to have come from God. They convinced the Emperor that if the people thought they were the children of God they might think they no longer need an Emperor or pay taxes or obey the Holy Church!
They said only Christ had come from God,and God made new souls at conception and only the holy church could bring these souls to God. With out the Empire or holy church all people would be doomed to hell! So your belief in resurrection comes straight from Emperor Justiaian and has nothing to do with Jesus teachings.check out my web site TheAsender
