• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

As I don't have any beliefs of it (as far as us being born again into the world in different bodies and different mothers/fathers, etc.), for those of you who are Christians and believe in reincarnation, what is the basis of your beliefs, and are there any biblical evidence supporting your beliefs?

The only thing close to the idea of reinc' is being "born again," however we aren't physically born into a new body, just a new lifestyle and a new way of thinking, a spirit filled with grace and forgiveness.

I welcome all thoughts, but please follow CF rules for posting: no flaming, no slander, simple discussion. Debate is allowed, but I'd like this to be a friendly discussion, where we can simply talk about the subject. :wave:

Your brother in the faith.

Exactly. I don't get it either. That's why I put the title in quotes.

You might do better in the unorthodox theology forum maybe. Christianity is built on resurrection, and resurrection and reincarnation are mutually exclusive.
