Reincarnation: biblically errant or correct?

Three Wishes: Grace Mercy Peace.

Although recincarnation has traditionally been an eastern religious belief for millenniums, the latest survey (2001) reveals about 25% of Americans over age 18 (about 30 million, one in four) now say they believe in reincarnation; a word not found in the Holy Bible; just like 'thereafter' is not in the Bible, only "hereafter", and here we all are, still lying, crying, and dying so long after being saved from it, the dead end of such grace + law = life + death.

Such is no wonder, for an even later survey (2004) reveals 55% of Americans, those unaware (ignorant) it's "all" either way of God concluded them "all" in unbelief so that he might (also) have mercy upon (us) "all", such "they" sayers who say Peace & Safety (allegory: Grace + Law; safety in law), such "them" folk in 1Thes 5:3, the childish sort of child/man kinds in 1Cor 13;11, and even more the child of hell in Mt 23 where those who sit in Moses' seat: law are called the child of hell... "such like" believe in a theoretical 'rapture' doctrine (escape) of some only, others left behind, words and theories also not found in the Holy Bible where it's all right and no left (behind) at all when seated at the right hand of God (allegory: where it's settled grace is sufficient).

And hence it is no wonder about a third (32%) of Americans have high blood pressure, dubbed 'hypertension', also dubbed the 'silent killer' since it usually provides no symptoms till it's life-threatening, causing such things as heart attacks, strokes, and kidney failure. A similar amount of Americans have "pre-planned" funerals.

It's also no wonder the latest Harvard survey (2004)says there is more "insanity" in America, where the real question is: who isn't on anti-depressants, uppers, downers, drugs, or some other pharmacopia prescribed by their doctors, shrinks, psychologists, and such who use such patients as guinea pigs used; milking them like cash cows just like 2Cor 11:15 ministers, both religious and political, do also.

So it seems good to do a study of inquiry on such a topic as reincarnation from the Holy Bible, to see whether such is biblically errant or correct. For it cannot be both, since both would be an oxymoron, a word ending with moron, which denotes willing ignorance, the sort which caused an entire first world of twain compared by converted Peter to perish (in Adam "all" die) from a bad case of life + death = a dead end... the point of his allegorical comparison of two worlds of two Adams having two ends, or two last days, being to bring forth the fact grace + law ends as badly as good + evil, blessed + cursed, and life + death; and such is to all, never some only, since a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. Hence JC said God said: either make the tree good or evil (not both).

As to whether reincarnation is biblically errant or correct, we need only notice the exhortation to hear what the law saith is not tommorrow nor in some other incarnation, but rather "to day", "now", "in time"; for there's neither any great mystery nor time for the least of great greater greatest in eternity where understanding prevails among all, lest all perish from a bad case of life + death due to ignorance. And what all understand in eternity is "grace is sufficient" simply means no law at all is req'd.

God winked at the childish ignorance of reincarnation and other such theories of men, but "now" commandeth all men to repent (change, from "law worketh wrath" to "grace is sufficient"). Further more God our Saviour will have two things: all men saved and aware what they're saved from, obviously law: sin & death.

Reincarnation is about as biblically errant as rapture of some only, when it clearly states both God and Son have no respect of persons, none at all. So it's never some only, nor in some other incarnation, but all, and now, to day, in time. For if a little cancer is not removed in time it can kill the whole body. So also with a little law, which is notably a "ministration of death", both the source and strength of sin, which bringeth forth death to all.

Yet, for those still preferring full proof, we will provide full proof, both from biblical and historical evidence, ample evidence to make it evident no man is justified by the law in the sight of God; not then, not now, not ever. For law, sin thereof, death thereof, is what the living God (one, a collective whole of living, a Spirit, Love, Light: understanding)will not have, not ever.

Hence the God shew of the Holy Bible containing Old and New Testaments is simply an "allegory" (Gal 4:24), and "written aforetime for our learning" (Rom 15:4) to learn "grace is sufficient"; And when such is ended properly, with no mention of law at all, it (someone ignorantly adding law worketh wrath to grace is sufficient, thereby adding infirmity to wellness, curse to blessing, war to peace, un to rest, dis to grace, and finally death to life, causing all to perish from a bad case of life + death) never happened. Selah.

The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

One's lot in life, according to those who believe in reincarnation, is based on the law of karma. It says that if bad things happen in one's life, this is an outworking of bad karma. If good things happen in one's life, this is an outworking of good karma.

"Karma" refers to the "debt" a soul accumulates because of good or bad actions committed during one's life (or past lives). If one accumulates good karma by performing good actions, he or she will be reincarnated in a desirable state. If one accumulates bad karma, he or she will be reincarnated in a less desirable state. In Shirley MacLaine's book Out on a Limb we are told, "Reincarnation is like show business. You just keep doing it until you get it right."

Some people twist Scriptures and say Jesus taught reincarnation or "cyclical rebirth" regarding his response when asked about Malachi 4:5,6's mention of "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse". In Matthew 11:14, Jesus said, "And if ye will receive [it], this [John the Baptist] is Elias, which was for to come". He also says "he who hath ears to ear, let him hear", and likens "this" generation to "children". For Elias is the allegoric plural of Elijah, just as Elohyim is the allegoric plural of God, just as two Gods are mentioned in the midst of his seven last utterances when quoting "My God, my God..." from Psalms (plural), just as his mention of "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem" denotes the whole city is plural (doubleminded: mixing grace + law, two contrary things which only mix to make an oxyMORON). Likewise, in John 3:3 Jesus both answered "and" said unto him, "Verily, verily", I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

But these allegoric passages, rightly interpreted, do not support reincarnation. Matthew 11:14 does not teach John the Baptist was a reincarnation of Elijah. Luke 1:17, an important cross reference, tells us the ministry of John the Baptist was carried out in the spirit "and" power of Elijah (allegory: grace + law). Moreover, reincarnationists conveniently forget that John the Baptist, when asked if he was Elijah, flatly answered, "No!" (John 1:21). As for John the Baptist, an accusational prophet of the law in the age of grace, his condemnation of a king got him beheadead. As for JC, he notes in Matthew 5:45 that he would not accuse anyone to the Father (allegory: His grace does not law, which is accuser of the brethren; nor does His truth lie; for he is one and with God, "express" image of God's likeness, and God cannot lie). Like God, JC is "the same" yesterday, to day, and for ever. As God never changes, has the same will in both Old & New Testaments (Hos 6:6; Mt 9:13), so also JC.

The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Regarding "born again" in Jn 3:3, such is also clarified as being "of the Spirit" [God is a Spirit], not the flesh; from above, not below; and for "ye" (do err, alway). For of the allegoric before/after (ye/you) scenario in 1Pet 5:10, it is ye who do err, suffer, but you made perfect by the God of all grace. Notably in Eph 4 God hath forgiven "you". Notably JC said God said I will never leave nor forsake "you". Notably the kingdom of God is located within "you". And notably such things are a ye/you "allegory"; ye being old of old/new, and you don't put new wine in old wine skins (allegory: grace + law do not mix).

Also in Jn 3:17 it flat out states God did NOT send His Son to condemn (law, since law a ministration of condemnation in 2Cor 3), but rather to save (grace). In the age of grace there is no law, for law had an expiry date, and expired, got nailed (as enmity), got done away, abolished, taken away, cast down, cast out.

Furthermore those who support the reincarnation theory of rebirth of the "soul" seem to miss the fact the word "of God" (denoting there is also a word not of God) divides assunder soul and spirit (Heb 4:12).

In 1Cor 15 first Adam of twain compared was a living "soul". In Adam all die (allegory: law imputes sin to all, thereby kills all, which is extinction). In allegoric comparison and contrast last Adam is a quickening "spirit". In Christ all live. For in him is no sin, which as much as says in him is no law, for only law imputes sin (Rom 5:13), law being both source and strength of sin (1Cor 15), and then sin brings forth death (1Cor 15:56; James 1:15).

Hence born again is a conversion, from blind faith to seeing faith, from law glory to grace glory, from ignorance to understanding, from child of hell to perfect man kind, from twain to one, etc. It is also a resurrection, a conversion from dead to alive, which is allegorically conversion from law to grace.

JC said to Peter (after calling him Satan): When (not if) thou art converted, then strengthen thy brethren. Far too many unconverted are attempting to strengthen brethren with rapture and reincarnation theories not supported in biblical study of inquiry. And when the blind lead the blind, both fall. So as Bible Translators aptly said: it is preposterous order to teach first and learn after. For as Paul The Apostle said: such things were written "for our learning", and written "aforetime" as an 'allegory"; a mystery to be solved "in time" (since there is neither mystery nor time for such in eternity where understanding prevails among all), and by finding grace in time, to help, help get it: understanding.

With all thy getting, get understanding... Prov 4:7

The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Grace unto "you", and peace,
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Debunking the notion of reincarnation is easy in the Bible. In Hebrews 9:27 it says: it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. Notably dying is appointed to "men" (plural of man), and the result of such dying by law (instead of to the law) is law judgement: surely die, and by the "curse of the law": if any fail to keep all the law all the time, a mission impossible, then all are accursed. Paul notes grace + law is as blessed + cursed, which ends being accursed (Gal 1:9); and also as life + death = a dead end in Heb 7:23; also saved + destroyed after in Jude 5.

Furthermore Heb 9 clarifies to establish grace we must let law be the "dead" testator of the NT, for grace, eternal life thereof, to be of "force" to all. For in the OT grace played the part of dead testator so law could be of force to all, so all who died under Moses' law could die without mercy (law has no mercy, only grace has mercy), so in Adam all die.

Such things are an "allegory" (Galatians 4:24).
And written aforetime for our "learning" (Rom 15:4).

POINT being to be aware, enlightened, perfected, and by getting it: understanding, and so you'll never get duped, deceived, bewitched, carried away, victimized, scape goated, knocked out of the God shew before solving the great mystery (Eph 5), even a triple mystery in Col 2:2. And such requires "take heed", and so as not to get deceived, and by many, as many obviously do, by going broad way (Mt 7)... even "more earnest heed" of what's been said near the end, for there are obviously lots of twists in a good mystery, especially near the end. Selah.

Every good mystery writer likes to hook readers as deeply and quickly as possible. Perhaps no other mystery writer has hooked more than old Moses, with his "In the beginning God"... as if an eternal God has any beginning (of days) or end (of life)... NOT!

The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen. (the "you all" hereof begins with "you")

Re: Reincarnation: biblically errant or correct?

"Grace" unto you, and peace,
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Luke 16: 19-31 tells an allegoric tale of two ends after this lifetime, clarifies there's an impassable gulf between the two ends of law and grace; such that neither law may be graced, nor grace may be lawed.

So the notion of a second... more chances to get it right, and get it: understanding, thereby debunked.

As for being left behind, the point is to leave such crap behind you, as dung, and go on unto perfection; for there is no left (behind) in seated at the right hand of God, where it's all right and no left at all (it's allegorically settled: grace "is" sufficient).

Obviously His grace is winner take all in "the end" of the Holy Bible containing Old & New Testaments, which notably has no mention of law at all, because it's "his angel" who gets to play the last trump it:

The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all.
Amen.
