Is there such thing as reincarnation?

Question

I want to know. I want to know what your theories are.

I'm christian too...just wanted to know everybody's opinion.

Answer 1

Nope. Dead is dead.

Answer 2

There have been two many documented experiences that go well beyond the so called "de'ja'vu".

Such as persons remembering languages they never learned in their current life and when names and dates they remembers where checked, there was actually someone with the name that lived at the address at that time.

In my case, I have had a recurring dream since childhood of a young native American woman following a few steps behind a white man.

At the time the dream started, there was nothing I had seen or heard that would have caused a memory to rise up in my dream. Since then via movies and such there have been plenty, but at the time I started having this dream, I did not even know what a native American was. It was years later after I saw a picture of a woman in native garb that I told my parents she was the sister of the woman in my dreams and we put 2 and 2 together.

So yes, I believe there is a such thing as reincarnation.

Answer 3

Yes I believe in reincarnation. How could I not? I lived in a body 200 years ago in England. I got enough info to fly to England and visit the grave. I know nothing of England yet I knew where this grave was and who was in it. There were some kin of this man in the village and I went and visited them. They lived on a 200 acre estate with the old castle still on the property. There was an painting of this man in the house and I asked them why there was no scar on his face from a wound from a sword when he was a young man. They knew what I was talking about as there was journals of this man that told of the wound. The artist didn't put it on the painting. That convinced them and it also convinced me. The thing that bothered me most was I had never had these thoughts untill I sat and talked with these folks and saw the things of this person. I have had many lives but this was the only one with so much verifiable proof.

Answer 5

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 6

I believe in karma and reincarnation. I believe that it takes more than one lifetime to learn all lessons and to totally give up "fleshly" desire. To think one can be sufficiently pure to return to the kingdom of heaven after only one lifetime is arrogance or folly.

Answer 7

I do not consider myself christian, just wanted to note that since you found it necessary to add to your Q.

I believe that we are all here to learn specific life lessons, and until we learn all that we are supposed to, we will continue to be reincarnated into this life.

Hope this helps..
Blessed Be

Answer 8

No. If your body and mind don't get recycled, why would your spirit? People who believe they lived previous lives are full of it. Do you know how many people have claimed they were George Washington or some crap like that? People that claim they or others have an old soul. Some people mature or were forced to mature faster than others. That's life. For every beggining there is an end. You only get one life to live and one chance to live it. Otherwise, you'd never learn to appreciate it. People would rush off to the next life if this one got to difficult for them.

Answer 9

No, reincarnation does not exist. There is no dying and then coming back as a rock, or a bird, or grass. I'm a Christian, and I believe in dying once, and then spending eternity up in Heaven with God and all of my brothers and sisters in Christ. To me there is no other theory except those that are false and those same ones will get you nowhere.

Answer 10

There are beliefs that this existence is only and imaginary realm in which we have ventured to play out a determined scenario,and that our real spiritual self is observing this drama at all times from a spiritual plane of existence. It is said that this out of spirit experience of learning is conducted
many times on the way to spiritual maturity. Is it true? Who
knows but it makes as much sense as angels breeding with humans and spawning giants.

Answer 11

I have heard too many stories about reincarnation
some have been investigated and found to be quite accurate details of past lives
so it is something that I have had to seriously consider , even though my own beliefs teach a little differently
so little adjustments had to be made to my beliefs , as I wont ignore evidence
