Do you believe in reincarnation?

Question

And If so Why?
And If not? Why?


My answer! is yes!

Answer 1

I answer Yes.

I have problems reconciling the notion that a system that recycles everything else would not recycle the life force/sole/ID/whatever you call it.

.

Answer 2

No, I believe you get one bite of the apple if you will excuse the pun. Life is very short. I am 60 years old and it seems like I was 16 yesterday. I want to live as long as possible to see what happens next. But unfortunately, I only have so much time on this planet. What I do is live each day to the fullest extent possible.

In my lifetime, I have seen the development of the passenger jet from the prop airplane, TV being black and white and have a round 5 inch tube in a cabinet that weighed 300 pounds, seat belts introduced, dishwashers, garbage disposals, washers without strainers on the top, cable TV, satellite anything, the first man in space, the first man on the moon, the first satellite to leave the solar system, see a President killed, see his assassin killed on live TV, see a President wounded, see a Presidential Candidate killed, see a porn magazine editor paralyzed, see the end of rotary dial telephones, asking for long distance please, and basically I have seen a lot.

The one thing I forgot to mention I have seen is my aunt die of Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 1954 and for me to be cured of the same disease in 2003.

No I can't believe in reincarnation, because I am way to busy now waiting for the excitement of tomorrow.

Answer 3

Define reincarnation first.

Do you mean that there is some imperishable self in each of us that can pass on to another body when the body we have now dies? If so, no, I have not seen any evidence of this.

If you mean some part of our physical body can be recycled to once again be part of a living creature, then yes - even if we are cremated our ashes can go on to become part of the natural cycle of things - the cycle that includes the water cycle, photsynthesis, etc. That is obviously possible.

So we need a complete definition first.

Answer 4

I do but it isn't important.
Few remember past lives and even if they have memories they are normally vague.
John the Baptist was asked if he was Elias or Christ and he said neither.
Jesus said "If you receive it" meaning if you're not frightened by truth, then John was Elias.
Naturally there’s a ton of “establishment” Christians ready to explain that Jesus meant nothing he said and have written many books to alter the meaning of Jesus so that he would appear to be a Christian in theology, but alas Christianity has little to do with anything that Jesus said.

Answer 5

No.

Epona, What evidence does nature give of reincarnation??

Surely you're not talking about the seasonal patterns of plants? Because plants don't die and become something else - they either go dormant or a part of the same plant grows and becomes the exact same kind of plant.

Answer 6

I believe in reincarnation as evidenced in nature.

Answer 7

No!!!!...

Since your answer is yes... For all you know, the Chicken or Fish that you are going to have for lunch could be Christopher Columbus in his next incarnation!!!

Answer 8

It's a nice idea, but I struggle with any concept of life after death, in any form. Life after death is a vanity made by our intelligent minds to ignore death as eternal night. I hope not, but I see no reason not to believe that.

Answer 9

No, A person has 1 opportunity to live his life.

In 2 Cor 5:10 it says:
"For we MUST all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad."

When judgment is received they go to heaven or hell. Not back to earth as a cockroach.

Answer 10

No I believe in the probabilities of coincidence in reoccurance .
