Do you believe in reincarnation?

God's Word confirms that there is no reincarnation. It days it is appointed only once for man to die. Hebrews 9:27 - Not multiple times. He didn't create us that way. We resurrect at Jesus' coming and the event is detailed as to what to expect, but we do not reincarnate. The proof is not as man says it should be, but is in the [i]experience[/i], as God [u]said[/u] it will be, so man cannot manipulate it, then take credit for it. Man makes a huge mistake in thinking he is smarter and wiser than God. Man says there is no God. To that, God said, "The [i]fool[/i] says such a thing and the truth is not in them (Psalm 14:1)." God doesn't [i]need[/i] to prove himself to anyone, yet He did reveal Himself to man, in His Son, Jesus Christ. Since our spiritual side is discussed, it is not measured nor contained by physical proof, but by evidence of the spiritual [u]experience[/u] of salvation through Jesus Christ. That way, man cannot brag, "Look what "I" did!" Man arrogantly tries to put God in a box of his own making, but it is God who sets the standard. Man does not set it. Tell me how man, if he thinks he is so smart, will find his way to heaven, without God? He does not know the way nor where to find it, after he dies. His thinking is so finite, next to God's. Man boasts things must be the way HE thinks, yet he would not even exist, were it not for God. That is "proof" enough, but God will not be insulted by man's insistence that He must prove Himself to mankind, in order to be accepted. He already did/has proved Himself, and if all those things are not good enough to suit man, that is man's mistake, not God's. How arrogant, for man to insist God do as man wishes. Pure foolishness, as those who do, shall one day soon, see. God cannot be tempted by the foolishness of men. Almighty God deserves all the honor and glory, bows down to no one, and rightfully so. He has [i]more[/i] than proved His love for us, yet some still curse His name and mock, but not for long. Those same people, shall...not maybe...bow down before Him one day and every tongue on earth shall confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord. Phillipians 2:10-11. Then they'll believe. They won't be able to deny it. Just as all the other prophecies in God's Word have come to pass to this date and time, so shall the other remaining prophecies, and we are eye witnesses to some of those being fulfilled, right now. Jesus is coming sooner than man thinks.

Reincarnation sounds nice, but I'm sticking with what God says about it, not man.

“Don't you believe in flying saucers, they ask me? Don't you believe in telepathy? — in ancient astronauts? — in the Bermuda triangle? — in life after death?

No, I reply. No, no, no, no, and again no.

One person recently, goaded into desperation by the litany of unrelieved negation, burst out "Don't you believe in anything?"

"Yes", I said. "I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers. I'll believe anything, no matter how wild and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it. The wilder and more ridiculous something is, however, the firmer and more solid the evidence will have to be.”
― Isaac Asimov

No. I don't believe we can have it both ways. God's Word says we either believe what His Word says, or abandon that completely and follow the reincarnation path, as God says there are no extra lives we get when we die. We go to one of two places as our final abode, for eternity. If reincarnation was a possibility, there would have been no need for Jesus to die on the cross, to keep you from going to hell, instead of living with Him in heaven.

🤷‍♂️
But I do recall a friend who insisted I not kill a rain spider in case it was his uncle. "God's messenger", as he put it.

I let it continue across the apt. floor where it disappeared.

I just keep going back to the story of the woman who was hit by lightning and then she starts speaking in different languages that she never knew before.
How does one explain that? lol

It would make sense. The uni/multiverse seems to be a closed system; everything turns into something else at some point. It would make sense for consciousness to work the same way; historically speaking every time humans have thought themselves to be exempt from/an exception to the natural order of the universe we have been proven to be wrong.

And in regard to simulation theory, a computer has a pool of processing power/memory that it uses to run/store programs/applications. Once a program is deleted the processing power/memory that was being used to run/store it is then added back to that pool and is able to be repurposed to run/store other programs.

Perhaps we are all programs in the machine 🤷🏽‍♂️.

No, my reason is Science and common sense. It's no more believable than heaven and hell to me.

No as there is no soul to reincarnate. In fact there is nothing at all that lasts for even a single moment.

I do not believe in reincarnation
I do believe in life after death i.e. a resurrection

I was asked the same question 200 years ago and the answer is the same...no

As in coming back as a specific being, or being the reincarnation of some previous being? No. Do I believe there are certain spiritual values that are passed on in the same way DNA passes on physical characteristics? Yes. Reasons? I have experienced and seen enough spiritual bridges to think there may be something there, but not the extent of direct reincarnation.

I wonder if its true then can i leave my money to myself?

I like the idea. But logically? Sounds like a fiction as religion.

The only partial reincarnation I believe is when someone has similarity personality with someone who related to you. Well of course, through their child.

You must wonder why you are acting exactly like your parents or grandparents? 🤔

I've had weird situations in my life where I do leave open the possibility of reincarnation. Though I'm of the belief that forces can exist without a god so if I say I believe in things like that I don't really attach a conscious existence to it.

Would be cool if there was.

Yes. I have done past life regression therapy before over 10 years ago. It’s triggered past life memories.

My only fear in death is reincarnation.

People who believe in reincarnation think there is a fixed thing that transmigrates from one life to the next. In truth nothing fixed exists from moment to moment even during our lifetime. The man who walks out of the room isn't the man who walks back in one minute later.

No. I can see no adaptive benefit for reincarnation nor any mechanism that would power such a complex process.

Human females are born with their lifetime supply of eggs most of which, like the perm in men, will be wasted. Am I to believe that somehow a mechanism exists that will tag one of those eggs and one of those sperm cells are allocated for an eventual dead human? Seems pretty hard to believe.

Yes. I was raised to believe in it

Yes. Just that we may not come back to the same earth but transit to another in another solar system. We were made to believe that there is only one earth in the universe, when there can be numerous.

Ya I do .Is it not normal to believe the souls take birth again?

No I believe the universe is in a loop and I have lived this exact life over and over countless times over zillions and zillions of years.. with zillions and zillions more to go.. oh well fuck it..

I dont believe in reincarnation but it could be possible. I believe we have one soul & when we die the desitiny of our soul lives on in in heaven or hell. Personally I wouldnt want to come back.

Hebrews 9:27 (KJV) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So no. Reincarnation is a lie from hell and it smells like smoke

Yes I lived in Tennessee in my past life, I think I carried some issues and fear from a past life.

Yes, but I don’t/wouldn’t want it to be so literal. It can be a useful concept for some.

No. Because there's no reason to believe it aside from "that sounds nice".

No but az a Buddhist i believe in rebirth. Some folk often mix the two ideas up.

No, because logic. I kind of like the idea sometimes, but it just doesn't jibe

No. God and I would be friends. He's not letting me back.

If I was Hindu .. this would be the one that sucks..

Idek but I'm not completely opposed to the idea being true

No, I believe you only die once then the judgment

How many times do I have to tell you?

I bloody hope not..I'm not coming back here again

I’m back! Even better than before!!

I am a Christian so Nope..

Of course not

What is being reincarnated?

First the existence of [i]that[/i] (whatever it is) needs to be demonstrated.

Then the reincarnation itself need to be demonstrated

No.

Not sure why I would want to believe in it. I have assurance that once and done. Time to move on to things higher and better.

A question that can't be answered with a yes or no.

I don't think we have a good understanding of time yet.

You ask that a lot....

No. I cannot imagine any sort of mechanism that would drive such a phenomenon.

Not the Hindu version

Who were you?

72 virgins,si

I don't feel I have enough reason to. I further think that the origin of that belief is driven by the widely held cyclical world view most civilizations have. In fact, the West is one of the few that hasn't had it, ever since the Enlightenment

No, as it makes no conceivable sense. I don’t believe in metaphysics.

No. Wtf do we think we are so amazing that we get to come back and live unlimited lives.
