The tree that begets seed does not itself become a seed again, it grows old and eventually dies. If the spiritual life is what seed and growth represents, it's not talking about reincarnation into this life, that's for sure.

Ya!

@Bible Highlighter I'm curious. Sorry if you've already addressed this point as you likely have (you are quite thorough) but what do you make of the story of the rich man and Lazarus? Why do you think it does not suggest ECT? When Father Abraham replies to the rich man, it seems to suggest that...

Thats quite the diverse perspective. Ive never heard of all that before. That's fine, i'll leave it at that. I guess you're calling Paul a liar then. Have a good one

Irregardless, the very concept of reincarnation is unscriptural and this is Christianity 101.

So are you saying Jesus looked different then? As in, his face was different? I don't think so. That's not why they didn't recognize him. They didn't recognize him for the same reason they didn't understand when He told them about His upcoming death. Are you for real? How can you accuse me of...

Hey man. I am trying to be respectful. We disagree, but I'm not belittling you or name-calling.

If it is appointed for all men to die once then it logically follows that all men are alive once. If all men were alive more than once then Paul would say all men are appointed to die more than once. Just take it at face value. I have no idea where anyone would get such an occultic teaching...

It's the same life. If it were another life, it would be a different person. Jesus did not reincarnate, He resurrected. All those in Christ will be resurrected, not reincarnated. You have confused the terms.

No problem at all my friend. So happy to be apart of your day!

I believe Paul's words in Hebrews 9:27 are a denial of the concept of reincarnation. Paul plainly tells us that a man (or woman) gets one life. Then, after that life is over, they face the judgement of God. As someone who believes in reincarnation, how do you defend said position in light of...

I like what Paul said (I think it was Paul) when he said that the Jews judged themselves to be unworthy because they rejected faith in Christ, so he was turning to the gentiles (can't remember the verse). On that note, I believe our Faith makes us worthy through Christ.

Nobody saved is worthy to be saved anyway lol if we had to wait until we were worthy to come to Christ we would be waiting forever lol

1 Corinthians 12:26 comes to mind. The main passage of scripture that comes to mind when on the subject of reincarnation is when Paul stated "it is appointed for men to die once, after this the judgement." How do you respond to Hebrews 9:27 @QuantumBit

The thing that gets me the most about the prospect reincarnation is the idea that those who incurred good karma from a past life would reincarnate into a rich or famous person, or a person with the world as their oyster. We know for a fact that the majority of rich and famous people are actually...

I don't see how. Dispensationalism is just a system that describes how God Yahweh interacted with His people and brought them to salvation throughout the course of life on earth. God must have saved people in the old testament but He did so without the Gospel at that time. Now we are in the...

The alternative is to keep the laity from reading the bible at all. I prefer that Christians have the bible and be mistaken from time to time, than never be able to read and hear the bible unless clergy says so. That is surely the lesser of two evils.

So you're a papist then?

@Episkopos whats wrong with dispensationalism? Just wondering

Hmm I watched keep sweet pray and obey a few months back. Riveting stuff. That cult leader (forget his name) is just unreal as a human being. Bunch of disgusting old lechers *spits* How can people get so twisted and how can people be so led astray by such fanatical nonsense?! It's incredible to...
