Early Christians did believe in reincarnation. It wasn’t until the mid-500s ad when a particular ruler pressured a pope to remove that from Christian beliefs. History is important.

[jackvucreative]

Reincarnation was and still is common belief in Judaism. I believe we still need to explore the conversation of reincarnation

If you only live one life and then you are judged. Then how do you explain babies that might live for one day or a few hours? Is that the only life they have and will ever have? What is their judgment?

[petratical]

The word of God indicates only one life, as " it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: " Hebrews 9:27. No time allowed for anything else, for there is only one life, one death and then judgment. John 3:16.

John 9 :: NIV. As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, " said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.

There is one life, one body, one soul

Just when someone reads reincarnation into the Bible there is someone the reads it back out again. It amazes me how many Christian's limit the kingdom of God or Gods creations with statements like " no doubt" this or that is true or "this or that must be rejected". Who are we as humans to put limits on God?

Please explain Jesus is coming if reincarnation is not in text ??

[dennishoffmeister]

Hebrews 9:27 says we die once, but it doesn’t say “ONLY” once. Why can’t we agree that NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING is impossible with God. Anyone who says this or that is not true, or claims to know absolute outcomes because they think they know the Word of God, puts God in a box, and limits God’s power and glory. The Bible doesn’t say that Jesus skinned His knee and cried when He was 8 years old, but that is probably true too.

If I were to leave a book for my children to read and how to live their lives...I know I can't include everything as I'm merely human, but I'm sure God only included what we need to know. Otherwise the Bible would be huge.

Is it bad to believe in Reincarnation....?I am sorry for raising this question it is because I just wanted to know if there is a different world .Then can we live there

[charlottearchambault]

I've heard kids say how they died in their past life, went to Heaven and saw God, and God brought them back to life in a new body. Crazy stuff.

[danikopter_lp]

what about elijah and john the baptist

[adenjones]

"We die once and then are judged" Ok so you deny the resurrection then? Or all those times that people were brought back from the dead only to die again in the bible. Do you deny these things too?

I can remember bits of two of my past lives

[jerrypritchett]

Firstly, asking for proof is the same as asking if God exists. I won't tell you I have reincarnated, but from my teens, I occasionally have memories of living before. Real or not, I leave up to you. I only relate what I have experienced, wide awake, without regression or any other prompting other than events in life that jarred my memory. It would happen the same way as when you look at a kid on a swing and then remember when you did that as a kid yourself. A completely organic memory. You may say I imagined that, but having the emotions, sensations, and clear physical perceptions of the event is kinda interesting, doncha know. None of these memories were sought out by me, nor have I placed undue importance on them, any more than I place on any memory in this life. The past is only as valuable as the lessons we learn from it.

[ferjacob]

There are so many stories even about this kid named “ Cade” that was in 9/11 twin towers. He knows so much. The parents claimed they never showed or talked to him about 9/11. I have a lot of questions but there’s nothing in the Bible about this.

[joeydelrio]

i love how he says any experience or memories dont count as proof, therefore we should just follow and believe what someone tells us to believe, this is exactly how Jim Jones got those people to drink the kool aid.

Matthew and mark they thought Jesus came back as someone else there’s a lot we don’t have due to good old catholic church

[fisherofmen]

This scripture sounds a lot like an example of reincarnation of Elijah as John the Baptist. What do you think about this scripture?

“And the disciples asked him, “Then why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?” He answered, “Elijah does come, and he will restore all things. But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they pleased. So also the Son of Man will certainly suffer at their hands.” Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist.”
