there's two diferent types of beliefs in reincarnation-
one is you are immidiatly reborn again as something that your karma predicted-a rat, human, or tree-based on how you lived your life-human form would be the ultimate one- once you reach perfection in life you return to be one with god.

next one is that we go to a heaven and get to choose whether wewant to reincarnate again or not-it depends on if we want to learn more-we only come back as humans in this one.

The Great Question Mark

Although nobody denies the certainty of death, what occurs after death can be like a great question mark. The many contradictory explanations may lead the skeptic to see the whole matter as a futile debate about the unknown. The pragmatist may conclude that since “you live only once,” you should enjoy the good things of life as best you can.

In contrast, others refuse to believe that death is the end of everything. Nevertheless, they have no clear idea about what comes afterward. Some assume that life will continue in a place of eternal bliss, while others think that they will live again at some future time, perhaps as a different person.

Bereaved relatives invariably ask themselves, “Where are the dead?” Several years ago, members of a football club were en route to a sporting event when a truck suddenly plowed into their minibus, sending the bus cartwheeling off the road. Five members of the team died. Since the day her son was killed in that accident, the life of one mother has almost come to a halt. She grapples with the issue of where her son is. She regularly visits his grave and talks to him out loud for hours. “I just can’t believe that there is nothing after death,” she laments, “but I am not sure.”

Clearly, our attitude toward death can affect our lives now. In view of people’s reactions to the tragedy of death, several questions arise. Consider how you would respond to them. Should we just forget about death and concentrate on living? Should we allow the menacing presence of death to spoil our life? Must a grieving relative be forever left to ponder the whereabouts of a dead loved one? Must death remain an enigma?



*** w05 8/15 “Death Is Swallowed Up Forever” ***

“Death Is Swallowed Up Forever”

IMAGINE reading a newspaper with the above headline instead of reading about a young girl who has taken her own life. Of course, no newspaper has ever been able to make such a statement. But the above words do appear in a book that is thousands of years old—the Bible.

In the Scriptures, death is clearly explained. Furthermore, the Bible not only reveals why we die but also explains the condition of the dead and offers hope for our deceased loved ones. Finally, it speaks of a momentous time when it will be possible to report: “Death is swallowed up forever.”—1 Corinthians 15:54.

The Bible explains death in familiar rather than mysterious terms. For example, it repeatedly likens dying to ‘falling asleep,’ and it describes dead people as “sleeping in death.” (Psalm 13:3; 1 Thessalonians 4:13; John 11:11-14) Death is also identified as an “enemy.” (1 Corinthians 15:26) More important, the Bible enables us to understand why death is like a sleep, why death afflicts mankind, and how this enemy will finally be defeated.

Just think, you and I are like thousands of generations of human beings distilled into one drop. Sometimes I can feel humans from a previous time inside of me. When I look at sepia colored photographs from the 1800s I realize how much human beings are all alike. Today I saw a boy who could have been a boy from the 1930s or the 1880s so much did he look like the boys in old photographs. Someday after this life we will exist in the lives of people who will live far into the future and they will be more fortunate for our experiences and achievements.

Yes, but not as a baby in a new incarnation. Here and now is your chance to direct your one-and-only self to eternity in heaven or hell, your choice. Follow God to Heaven, or your own selfish desires to Hell. Both places do exist. Skeptical me had to doubt for years and find out the hard way. At least I found out without being brain-washed. Find a Bible-based church that follows Christ's teachings, give your heart to God, and I'll see you in Heaven.

Only the Holy Bible answers this question. Jesus said "we must be born again." First we are born of water and then if we believe in Jesus and what He did on the Cross of Calvary then we are born of the Spirit. The Bible says in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve disobeyed God and sin came into the world and because of sin we were disconnected from God and lost eternal life with Him. But God sent His Son Jesus to take away the sins of the world on the Cross and to defeat Satan who brought sin into the world of mankind by tempting Adam and Eve. The Bible teaches the wages of sin is death. By one man Adam sin came into the world and by one man Jesus sin was taken out to those who believe in Jesus. To receive an afterlife in heaven with Jesus we must accept Jesus and what Jesus did, his death, burial and resurrection on the Cross of Calvary.

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father except by Me."

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. For believing in Jesus He freely gives to you eternal life with Him. He has gone to prepare a place for us, but He will return for us shortly. He is making new heavens and a new earth for us.

no person can relatively say what happens after dying. it relatively is a concept which each guy or woman ought to heavily choose in line with their own ideals (that are based of their own reviews). ideals are own. We shouldn't learn what to have confidence; we'd desire to continuously seek for expertise as to why we'd have confidence it. And we'd desire to continuously pay attention to clarification why to no longer have confidence it. it relatively is barely in listening to the information of the two facets of a controversy that we are able to settle on what's or isn't the certainty from our own perspectives. For my ideals, we settle for that reincarnation is an decision, yet no longer unavoidably one that surely everyone might have interaction in. We additionally settle for that incredibly effectual souls can fragment and exist in separate timelines yet on a similar time (as time is basically our own concept because it relatively is). consequently, diverse human beings might properly be reincarnations of a similar guy or woman. in spite of the undeniable fact that this works, it is not a typical concept, and it is not some thing that we expect of surely everyone else ought to proportion in our concept in. we tend to settle for that our own information is constrained in nature and consequently to argue approximately whether or no longer that is genuine is pointless. the two it relatively is genuine or no longer. the two it happens, or it does not. each guy or woman ought to define for themselves what actuality is, and seem for the two affirmation and refutation (rejection) of the belief, and notice which feels greater appropriate.

not exactly...
but there will be a resurrection someday

We can pass out of death into life today. Jesus claimed.
"Truly truly I say to you He who heard my word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come into judgment but has passed out of death into life" John 5:24

That depends. I guarantee you there will be a good number of people who hide behind what the Bible says on this one...

I personally believing in reincarnation. Not because of my religion, because I believed in reincarnation before I considered religion, it just make more sense to me.
