Do you believe in reincarnation?

New Creation

No and here is why:

The laws of karma and reincarnation are man made and wretched.
If you travel to a places in the world where people truly believe, you will find the true nature of it and how it holds people in it's grip.
Thanks to lack of education and with the help of men like Deepak Chopra,
Westerners have a very watered down idea of it.
Take for example a person that has caused much destruction - Hitler, for example, as his name always comes up. Karma and reincarnation teaches that upon his death, the bad karma he accumulated goes on into another life but the recipient has no idea of the weight they are carrying. Hitler's soul could be reincarnated into another person, animal or insect. There are some people that wear mouth and nose coverings to avoid breathing someone in. (I'm not joking.)
In countries where karma rules the day and homeless children roam the street, other citizens do nothing to help them. Not because they are cruel but because the child has accumulated bad karma and they believe the sooner the child dies he can begin again. I saw a news article a few years back about a heartbroken mother that had lost her 13 year son to an early death. Just after the funeral, an iguana walked into her home. The photo showed her with tears rolling down her face as she held it - because she was convinced it was her son reincarnated.
I strongly suggest the book by Ravi Zacharais called "Jesus Among Other Gods". He was raised in India and has a clear understanding of these things - and he takes strong offense to the tripe dished out by Deepak Chopra

No, I don't!

I stick to my faith, and that is, believing that all souls, once their immaterial or physical body die, either goes to heaven or to hell, to await the final judgment of our Lord.

can't say if it's true, but i have tried soul regression seminars and i saw my past life. That explained why i have such marks on my chest and a pentagram in the lines of my right palm.

I do because I do not think one life is enough to accomplish all your dreams because of endless delays and setbacks and a relatively short life span. If there us a loving God, he or she would give us more chances.

Reincarnation also explains why we have different luck at birth and why some people seem to have things easier than others. Or why innocent people die for no apparent reason. Karma accumulated from past lives plays a role in this life and is part of one's destiny.

Universal conscience is eternal so next time will be observing the world through someone else's eyes.

To those who say that reincarnation is against Christian teachings, I must say that it is not in line with the version of the Bible that your Spanish occupiers brought to you. Early Christians did believe in it, though:

<< some smaller groups (Christian gnostics, the Liberal Catholic Church, and the Christian Community) do include the concept of reincarnation in their doctrine. >>

<< In related groups it is frequently maintained, based on certain Bible texts and church fathers (especially Origen), that the early Christians did believe in reincarnation and that the reincarnation proofs had been destroyed by the church later on. >>

Despite Emperor Justinian's meddling, some passages in the Bible still remain that point to a belief in reincarnation. I quote the same site:

<< Bible verses used as proof texts for the reincarnation teachings of early Christians are, e.g. Mt 11:14 and 17:12f and John 9,1 ff. Read with a new-age worldview, these texts can indeed be interpreted as referring to reincarnation. Jesus identifies John the Baptist as the returning prophet Elijah in Matthews 11:14. >>

<< It is also maintained that the 3rd century church father Origen had been an adherent of reincarnation. Origen stood for the pre-existence of the soul -- the concept that the human soul existed already before birth. "The soul has neither beginning nor end... [They] come into this world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of their previous lives" (De Principiis). He knew the teachings of reincarnation and mentions them in his writings. In his exegesis of the above Bible verses, he discusses how they are interpreted by adherents of reincarnation. >>

The Bible has been tampered with on numerous occasions and you may not have the full story.

The Bible that you have also does not mention anything about electricity, telepathy, radio waves, so what?

ohioan_femme

I am inclined to believe it because it makes sense to me.

Sure do.

Most religions have this. Christians say those who have died shall be resurrected come Judgment Day. Now, if their old substances have gone to ashes, how else could they live again, unless their essence are given new bodies? Of course, I am not certain whether the biological structure would be the same. If we end up as beings of Pure Energy, that puts all my theory to the trash bin, and we all shall be singing with Gary V.

No, I don't. In my view, it is a belief propagated by those who don't take the Bible which is God's word to heart. Nowhere in the said holy book can you read about reincarnation - about a dead man resurrecting into another being, be it in human or animal form in another lifetime. Except, of course, Christ's resurrection from the dead.
