I believe reincarnation is Biblical and wish to discuss this further.

Which forum am I allowed to post this topic in?


I think Controversial would be best in this case. Even GT will probably try to shut it down (members, not staff - I don't think there's a rule in place anyway).

Controversial will probably give you much more robust discussion.

I agree you should start a new thread there. If you like, post a link here so others can follow.

I believe God told me that the past lives things is actually just a form of genetic memory or inheriting the sins of the ancestors, not actual past lives.

I have reached the stage where I just ignore the voices in my head :)

Im going to ignore that , anyway scripture is clear on the ability to hear from the holy spirit when you ask for things you dont hear voices but are given a feeling of what is right

Why would you ask GOD about reincarnation?

This implies that there is no urgency in THE GOSPEL since men can get "do overs"

I dont think you read what I said. I believe God told me there is no reincarnation, it is just the memories of our forebears, that the supposed reincarnation people believe they had, was that.

Why would men have the memories of those who are physically dead?

Why didn't GOD just say that this is the work of the evil one who sows the wrong seed so as to cause confusion

It is that that too but they are still memories of our forebears , especially the cases when the supposed case of reincarnation is true or confirmed to be a real past life

Reincarnation is not part of the Christian religion..

But really because we have Resurrection into an eternal life what Christian would want to be reincarnated ?. One life is enough in this corrupt world.. It would be a great punishment to be forced to live another life on this near hell hole of a planet..

Yes

GOD told us to "overcome" now

And who is it who has overcome?

1 John 5 explains who

What is being covercome?
Chapter / verse ?

And who is it who has overcome?
1 John 5 explains who

The chapter states
1 John 5:KJV
4 "For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. {5} Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"

But i am wondering what does this have to do with the topic of reincarnation?

No let me explain slowly.

People have memories of a previous life. It is not there.
If that the memories is confirmed to be an actual life
(For example a kid claims to be reincarnated and have all the memories of George Washington)
A demon, has given them the memories of their ancestors.
If it cannot be confirmed a real life, its just dreams put there

HE overcame for us

And our work is to remain in HIM trusting by faith that where we are going is where HE is taking us

To be still and know that HE is GOD
And the good work HE began in us HE will bring to completion

Faith
What we began in is what we will end in

From faith ------->to faith
From first -------->to last

And the "righteous" shall live by faith

Directed in and on HIM

ALONE

HE told us that in this world we would have trouble but to take heart for HE has overcome the world


It is very easy to have Faith when things are going well

Another thing completely when things aren't going so well

Tats when mature steadfast faith directed in HIM is made manifest

That's when we learn to walk by faith and not by sight

That sounds like a pretty good invitation to start confusing one's own feelings and thoughts with God, and thereby ultimately ignore God and seek one's own self interests instead.

I see what you're saying

Satan's work of deception
