Technically the Christian faith does not believe in reincarnation; however there are scriptures that could indicate otherwise. I do understand the concept that reincarnation and salvation don’t agree. I also do believe in the finished works of Jesus and the cross. One thing can be certain is that we only know part of the truth and mysteries of life, death and our soul. As I already mentioned, the bible also says that ‘’ for we know in part, and we prophesy in part….for we see through a glass, darkly.

Personally as a Christian I believe in the finished works of the cross and I also believe that some people do come back, but it’s not what I believe, let’s analyze the scriptures we have, because who knows whether some …show more content…

Let’s start with Elijah, as we know he reincarnated as John the Baptist, this was first prophesied by the prophet Malachi and later confirmed by Jesus himself. See the following verses. Malachi 4:5 Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: Also Matthew 11.14…And if you are willing to receive it and accept it John himself is Elijah who was to come before the Kingdom. In the following verse, 15…Jesus says He who has ears to hear, let him be listening and let him consider and perceive and comprehend by hearing. (Amplified)

 Picture of John the Baptist, baptizing Jesus. John was the fore runner of Jesus. Reincarnate Elijah
This alone is enough for me, to believe that some people do come back, I personally believe a lot of great spiritual figures in the bible days and now, did come back then, and do come back now. I believe depending on your agreed task in time and space, certain life time experiences are required. Actually, sometimes I can actually tell by the wisdom and insight that comes from a person’s mouth, obviously will take age into …show more content…

Jeremiah also from the bible which is mentioned in this piece literature and Elijah were both Prophets, and I believe that such people have to be old souls, people that have been here ( time and space) before.

The second scripture, I would like to use, to open us up to the possibility that maybe the early church knew what we don’t in regards to reincarnation is in John 9:2..And the disciples asked him, saying Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents , that he was born blind?

Looking at the first part of the question implies the question referred to a previous life. The fact that they asked the question and that Jesus didn’t say that question was wrong spiritually or that they have missed how the Kingdom of heaven operated as we know he did in teaching His disciples, also should make us question the possibility of the subject at hand.

Another important verse, that really got me thinking is Jeremiah 1.5, in which God told Jeremiah that before he was formed in his mother’s womb, that He [God] knew him [Jeremiah], and approved of

I imagine we get reincarnated whether we do wrong or rights. Even though I fancy in a God, I somewhat follow Buddha’s teachings in which they believe in finding enlightenment. This can also help serve with the moral I follow. With the teaching of Buddha, They are trying to reach enlightenment by doing the rights more than the wrongs. It sorta helps each other.

In reviewing the reading assignment, Paul links Jesus’ resurrection to Christian hope of an afterlife by saying that “if there was not a resurrection, then Christ was not raised, and Christians hope is in vain” (Harris, 2014 p.346). Paul’s example was based on the Jewish apocalyptic faith, which believed that God had the ability to raise those who died who believed in Christ (Harris, 2014 p.346). Paul said that if Jesus resurrected, there would be no afterlife and the believers would be in a bad place. Another way Paul linked Jesus resurrection to Christian hope of the afterlife when he spoke about Adam and Jesus. Adam was the first man, who was God’s first earthy son, who also brought death to mankind.

Hershel states “and shall come forth; they have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation” (the walking dead. Season 2) This biblical allusion reveals that the ones who doubt resurrection are the ones who doubt God. The biblical allusion also shows how important the bible is on the world and provides a sense of realism. The accurate and realistic use of the Biblical allusion provides reason in itself for why so many people look to the bible to get them through tough times.

Clive Staples Lewis, also known as C.S. Lewis, was one of these reborn. Lewis’ life is one that fascinates. If the chance was given to converse with a person dead or alive for thirty minutes, he would be at the top. His intellectual and literary mark left unto the world is almost unparalleled, and for good reason. Lewis was a man of faith- earth shaking faith- and this is evident in his work.

Supporters of this view point to Heb 9:27 to indicate all men are to “die once”. Given that neither died, it gives some credence to the view that Elijah and Enoch are the two witnesses. In fact, some even point to the rapture as proof that the two witnesses are Enoch and Elijah, using 1 Thess 4:17 as their central theme. The view states since those who are alive will be caught up, it must only exclude two individuals, Enoch and Elijah, given that they are not currently walking the earth. If they were, they would also be “caught up in the air.”

Jesus showed us that when we die, we step into a new and richer life that is eternal. When the men says “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, he is risen,” we learn that dying draws us to a new life risen in heaven and that our sins will be forgiven by God. The Emmaus Story - The key message in this passage from Luke 24:13-35 is that Jesus always keeps his promises.

However, the Old Testament actually foreshadows what will occur in the New Testament. Thus, by utilizing Jesus’s prophets and miracles, the reader is able to tell that the Old Testament actually points towards the life of Jesus Christ. One event that pertains to the foreshadowing of the New Testament is when Solomon rides David’s favorite donkey into Jerusalem. This actions can be related to Jesus Christ because Jesus also rides one of his best donkeys into Jerusalem also. Another prophet that points to Jesus is Moses.

The simplest way to define reincarnation is to say it is the spiritual belief for the repeating cycle of birth, life, and death. It is the idea that our souls or our spirits, after our death, can begin a new life in a new body. Our spirit does not disappear when we die, it continues on. We never stop learning and growing.

”17 In that time of resurrection all people will rise, good and evil, and God will divide those going into the resurrection of life and the others into the resurrection of evil. The Bible states that the resurrected bodies will come back perfect with no pain or disabilities. The soul is always longing for the body, because it is what is good and natural for a human who is not pure spirit. The resurrection of the body, therefore, is natural and makes sense logically that it would spend eternal life with the soul.

AESTHETICS “There are no hard distinctions between what’s real and what’s unreal nor what is true and what is false. A thing is not necessarily either true or false it can be both true and false” (Harold Pinter) The belief of the After life or Life after death or what happens to a person when they leave their body is viewed differently by different people. The belief system of Christians is that when a person dies they go to a specific place of existence determined by God based on their actions and beliefs during life.

However, Zoroastrianism predates Christianity, therefore these ideas were already in place before Christianity was being transcribed. An article summoned up the belief that “....upon death and according to its earthly deeds and its acceptance of the Christian faith, the soul enters Heaven, Purgatory or Hell. There it awaits the Last Judgment when the dead shall rise again, the redeemed to enjoy life everlasting and the unsaved to suffer eternally” (Bodhinatha Veylanswami 40-41). This passage summarizes the Christian idea that upon death the soul will either enter Heaven, Purgatory or Hell depending on how that person chose to live their life. When Jesus returns all the living and the dead will either enter eternal paradise or eternal suffering.
