we don't believe in reincarnation because it is written CLEARLY in the Holy Bible that HUMAN have one life .and the memories that you think it is from past lives are your mindes (undermindes) reactions and complexes and results what have you live in your earlier years and reaction what you don't like in your live and what you wish to be .

1) There's absolutely no evidence to suggest reincarnation is a reality. Gullible people believing something doesn't make it so.
2) It's also contradicted by the Teachings in both the Old and New Testaments.
3) As for people who've claimed to experience it:
a) Most are lying and want attention.
b) Some are insane.
c) Some confuse coincidence with revelation.
4) There is SOME small bit of evidence that a phenomenon called "genetic memory" might exist. That has nothing to do with reincarnation. It means you MIGHT get tiny flashes of insight from things your direct relatives experienced.

It's simple. Demonic spirits who have been around since the beginning teach unbelievers things in order to keep them from God and to influence other people to doubt the truths told in the Bible.
1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,
Hebrews 9:27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, 28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

interesting question. Just because someone says they have memories of past lives, does not mean that they do? Do you believe everything someone tells you? Obviously you do not believe God. This is the question that I get so much- why do you believe scripture? because God's Word is truth. "Men are appointed to die, ONCE and after that the judgment". I could tell you a story about "a past life" and you would believe me, however when I say I believe in the Bible you say I am speaking falsehood. I have to tell you that why we die we will know the truth. I already know that Jesus died for me, so that when I die I will live with Him.

Hebrews 9
27 Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
That and the axiomatic revelation of God's order to things found in the rest of the Bible.

The power of suggestion can help people "recall" trips to other planets. I don't believe in reincarnation because God's Word clearly states that it is appointed that each person live once, and then comes judgment. The end.

I do not believe because the Bible tells absolutely nothing about that occurring. As for some people having, supposed, memories- it is a fact that people 'store stuff' in their subconscious. They could have seen it anywhere and it went into their subconscious and later came out as a, supposed, memory. That is just my personal opinion though.

Those are supernatural occurances...I have had a few, but I most certainly can't explain how they happen...they just do. Perhaps there are supernatural occurances that we are not even supposed to understand at this point in our lives. Also, you might ask your Higher Power or Supeme Being (whom I call God) to help you understand little by little as you are able to accept it. I think that if we knew all the truth, it would totally blow our minds.
Good luck as you grow spiritually...Nala

The Holy Bible tells us it is appointed once for man to die and then the judgement. And thoughts can be placed into someones mind....if your pre-disposed to believe in the spiritual world.
The belief in Reincarnation runs specifically counter to Christianity and what the Christian Holy Bible teaches.

The only reincarnation I know of is Jesus Christ.He was God in the flesh.
