reincarnation

Post by thatkidakayoungguy »

Some Christians think reincarnation is real. The bible says that we live, die, go to judgement, and it's appointed for men to die. But at the second coming the saints still living don't die, so what Im getting at is does God allow some exceptions and allow some to be reborn in this life?

I used to be an oak tree. I tell you, you don't know what it's like to always have squirrels chewing on your nuts!
John 5:24
24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.


“A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.”
-Edward R Murrow

Do you have even one Scriptural example of reincarnation?

Didn't think so.

I'm not saying I believe in reincarnation though I've considered it before. People usually take what Jesus said about John the Baptist being Elijah as support for reincarnation but I don't believe it supports it.
Here's another good source: https://www.gotquestions.org/John-Baptist-Elijah.html

Being absent from the body and being present with the Lord immediately in eternity would say that reincarnation isn't possible.

I dont believe in reincarnation but even if I did I wouldnt want it to be true. Why would anyone want to come back to this world a second time when they have heaven waiting for them. Its like getting getting michelle pfeiffer in her prime (reincarnation) when you can have dolly parton from 9-5 :mrgreen:
