do you believe in reincarnacion?

Question

explain your opinions!


thank you for answering my question...

Answer 1

no, i do not believe in reincarnation... no one 'remembers' being in another life except when someone 'tells them' that they were this and that in past lives

Answer 2

Yes. I do. It's a strange thing that Christians don't believe in reincarnation. If there was no reincarnation, how do you explain Christ? Birth is a reincarnation - whether it is the first or 100th time. When Christ was born, he was known to be the son of G-d. Before he was born, he was still the son of G-d, just the soul without a body. Then Jesus dies and goes back to his Father. So it is reincarnation of the soul which is what reincarnation really is. The transfer of the soul into a new body each time it comes to earth. Do you really think that Jesus came only once? If that is true, then all stories of people who have spoken to and have been visited by G-d are lies. God cannot manifest himself if there is no shape to the soul - where did he get a human form from?

If you look further, Christianity is a combination of religions. Hinduism, Judaism and CHRIST WAS A JEW (The Jewish are waiting for their Messiah to come - so is that a reincarnation of Jesus' soul or was Jesus a falsity)?

In Hinduism, Krishna is an incarnation of Vishnu, the Preserver. Some people think Jesus is an incarnation of Krishna/Vishnu as well.... and it makes sense... Jesus came to Preserve the good - didn't he?

I think it's a lot to ask NOT to believe in Reincarnation when you look at all the things in the world that can't be explained. Why do some childrem remember things from an adult life that they have never experienced? What's the explanation for meeting someone for the first time, but having a gut feeling that you know them already? (If this there is no reincarnation then having a soulmate is not a possiblity either because the souls would have had to have prior knowledge that they would meet in this lifetime..... and why would a SOUL need a physical connection?

So... make up your own mind...... but don't negate other people's beliefs while you do so. Reincarnation is an idea. It's not a sin.

Answer 3

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 4

Buddhism teaches that when a person dies they are reborn and that this process of death and rebirth will continue until Nirvana is attained.

Most religions believe that the core of the person, the real person, is the soul, a non-material and eternal entity that survives in the afterlife. Buddhism on the other hand says that the person is made up of thoughts, feelings and perceptions interacting with the body in a dynamic and constantly changing way. At death this stream of mental energy is re-established in a new body. Thus Buddhism is able to explain the continuity of the individual without recourse to the belief in an "eternal soul", an idea which contradicts the universal truth of impermanence.

Answer 5

I believe in reincarnation. Yes, I am a Buddhist. It took me several years of study to accept the teaching but it makes sense to me now. Our mind exists regardless of the body. The mind would still exist if there was no body so at the moment of death it passes into the next form. You are not always reborn human depending on the patterns of your mind and how you live your life. When we learn to end our own suffering by desiring to end the suffering of all sentient beings then we can free ourselves from the cycle of birth and death. In the end, there is no death and no birth there is only continuation. It's REALLY difficult to write about but I do understand it intellectually as well as spiritually. I also understand that it's not for everyone and respect this as well.

Answer 6

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 7

I think it is a possibility. There are so many cases of young children talking about a past experience that it would be impossible for them to know and even the feelings many of us get for no reason. Like, feeling a connection to somewhere you have never been to, a person, etc. There's no valid proof however, but it is promising.
**Edit** I love how everyone knows what happens when they die....I just wish they could prove it.

Answer 8

I do believe in reincarnation. I believe our souls live many lives in a effort to educate our souls.

I believe that we choose a theme, or a specific lesson, that we want to experience before we come here. We choose our parents and many of the circumstances and events in our lives are preplanned with God.

Answer 9

Personally, yes I believe in reincarnation. I've felt connected to way to many places, people, things, and feelings that I've never actually known in this life not to. So, yes, I do believe.

Answer 10

No such thing...

Ther Scripture says:
"It is appointed unto men once to die, and after that the judgement".
