Hebrews 9:27-28 (NIV)
Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 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.

Dear one - He will not return through a birth of yet another human child - he will descend from the Spirit realm of heaven to take us home:
1st Thessalonians 4:14-18 We believe that Jesus died and was raised to life. We also believe that when God brings Jesus back again, he will bring with him all who had faith in Jesus before they died.
Our Lord Jesus told us that when he comes, we won't go up to meet him ahead of his followers who have already died.
With a loud command and with the shout of the chief angel and a blast of God's trumpet, the Lord will return from heaven. Then those who had faith in Christ before they died will be raised to life.
Next, all of us who are still alive will be taken up into the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the sky. From that time on we will all be with the Lord forever.
Encourage each other with these words.
The description in Revelations gives us an idea of how He may look:
Revelations 1:13-16 There with the lampstands was someone who seemed to be the Son of Man. He was wearing a robe that reached down to his feet, and a gold cloth was wrapped around his chest.
His head and his hair were white as wool or snow, and his eyes looked like flames of fire.
His feet were glowing like bronze being heated in a furnace, and his voice sounded like the roar of a waterfall.
He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp double-edged sword was coming from his mouth. His face was shining as bright as the sun at noon.
Reincarnation is a non-christian belief that a soul is physically reborn.
Peace.

goodwill: what you refer to as "reincarnation" in reference to the Resurrection from the dead, at Christ's return and rule over the earth, would be incorrect, to say the least. It is refered to, as the "times of restitution [reformation or renewal] of all things", in the book of Acts,chapter 3, verse 21.
In a more broad sense, the resurrection from the dead will be conducted in phases those having or have died having the Holy Spirit [converted] then, later, eventually, the non-converted. Equally; ALL of us will stand before Jesus Christ to give account for all of our actions [called, the "Judgement"].
As time progresses, under Christ's rule, the earth will ultimately be restored to beauty and abundance for all people, including the unconverted, who, in turn, will have their chance to become "converted" - imbibe in a spiritual relationship with Christ. YES - EVERYONE WINS IN THE END. There will be very few (if any), who will side with being burned up in "the Lake of fire" called, Gehenna fire [not "hell"].
By the way; have you considered the fact, that IF we have "immortal souls", - how can we ever or even, "burn-up", as "souls" are supposed to be nonburnable- incombustible because they [souls] are immortal? This is why I do nor believe we have "immortal souls"-contrary to popular, religious belief !!!

God is Spirit; and you shall worship God in Spirit and in Truth." says our Eternal Jesus Christ still here with us fully in Spirit ! See and believe John 16:7-16 on He the Spirit of ALL Truth of GOD.
Jesus is just like God -- a Deity Eternal Spirit Person; He came down in Spirit and briefly Incarnated here as a real Human Being with a physical body; He ascended back in His One Combined God-Man Deity Spirit and perfect Spirit Man still to run this universe that He made and maintains. He can easily return here as a Pure Spirit Personality, or as any of many levels; as He so chooses. HE IS the fullness of GOD here; and He has full Sovereign will to do as He Knows is Best for all.
Absolutely there is NO sick "reincarnation" !!! God and Jesus, One in Spirit, will NEVER allow any human to go backward back down to a lower level !
"I AM the Almighty GOD; walk (eternally progress) before Me and Be you perfect, even as I AM perfect." Amen !
Peace and progress,

No. That verse has nothing to do with Hindu reincarnation.
If you read the gospels: The resurrected Christ says "See my hand and my feet. Put your hand in my side." He did not say "Touch me, I am a cow," nor did he appear to the disciples as a brand new baby.
You may have some reading to do on reincarnation.

He was resurrected, not reincarnated. His body is still the same it was when He was first on the Earth. Reincarnation is the spirit moving to a different body. That did not happen. No, reincarnation does not exist.

We have faith the Bible to be the recognize God. it extremely is considered as scripture interior the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. the place a undertaking occurs is interior the translations of the Bible. There are quite a few hundred translations, and with literary paintings it fairly is translated that many situations, the somewhat some unique meaning could be undertaking to alternations, changes, etc. in case you examine the unique Hebrew and then Greek translations with many present day-day English ones, you could obtrusive see changes that have got here approximately. Mormons sense that some blunders have got here approximately over the centuries the place some doctrine has been exceeded over, and a few further. An occasion is modern-day in Amos 7:3 the present KJV reads: "The Lord repented for this: It shall no longer be, saith the LORD." The Lord is appropriate. He has no desire for repentence. yet another occasion is the variations of what befell to Judas after he betrayed Jesus. Matthew says Judas desire out and hanged himself. yet in Acts it says Judas fell down and his bowells got here out. Matthew 27: 3 ¶ Then Judas, which had betrayed him, whilst he observed that he improve into condemned, repented himself, and further back the thirty products of silver to the supervisor priests and elders, 4 asserting, I even have sinned in that I even have betrayed the harmless blood. and that they pronounced, what's that to us? see thou to that. 5 And he forged down the products of silver interior the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. Acts a million:18 Now this guy offered a field with the advantages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder interior the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. for sure there have been changes as there are 2 differing descriptions of what befell to Judas. Mormons have faith the Bible to be genuine. Its purely that there are blunders. consequently we've faith the e book of Mormon is mandatory. to help make sparkling misinterpretations. to renowned approximately Joseph Smiths prayer to God and his visitation to Joseph, why no longer ask God himself if it have been genuine. God teaches us interior the Bible, if we lack know-how approximately some thing, to ask him (See James a million:5). If we achieve this with actual purpose, and in humility, God will answer that prayer. I even have performed so, and have won a "witness" that it did certainly ensue as Joseph testified.

It is so funny how people think that a particular thing does or does not exist. The reality is God is God! He can do anything he wants so if he decides to bring you back as a 3 legged mutt with fleas he will do it. If he decides to keep you in heaven he will do it. Stop putting a limit on what God can or will do. God is limitless and omnipotent.

He's not being reincarnated. He rose from the dead. And went up to heaven, and it'll be the same person that comes down, no reincarnation, just the return of the same person

No. Resurrection exists. There's a huge difference. Jesus was raised in the body He died in. His Second Coming will be in that same body as well.
