On my rounds of the discussion boards I see that a lot of seemingly intelligent sensible people believe in reincarnation, namely that when we die we're born again as a baby somewhere.
Is there any Biblical scriptural support for it?
It would be interesting to travel India to interview and give a witness to Hindus. Christianity is spreading with over 100 million there now but most of the billion + people are Hindus or Buddhists.
It is sad to see suffering people, like the "Untouchables" live in the middle of a somewhat prosperous city like dogs in shacks and no one helps them. Why? People believe that it is their Karma to suffer in their life and not to interfere - " for it is purposed for them to live out this life this way". So the voices of starving people, begging for help, goes out void to deaf ears. People avoid them like the plague, without mercy, a heart, as they pass them by and ignor them. It is an unforgiving, merciless and hopeless religion and way of life for hundreds of millions. Their lack of charity is justified, they use the excuse not to help anyone, not to interfer with the spiritual laws of Karma. Likely Shiva, Krishna or Brahma will punish them if they do.
Well, missionaries are at work over there to show love, mercy and forgiveness and tell them about the truth about life, that there is only one life, one death and then the judgment and about Jesus, our Savior.
Evil spirits, princes of Satan are in charge of certain areas of the world to keep people under this dark umbrella of evil. China, Russia and all the Muslim nations suffer from Satan's false religious systems and atheism as well.
I met a very intelligent Hindu man once who gave me his card with numerous titles and accomplishments. He was a professor, held several doctorate degrees, a member of prestigious Hindu fellowships ... a spiritual guru as well, shaman ... It was almost comical. Usually you get a business card with one occupation on it, not eight.
So the point is, I believe this guy thought he finally reached the end of his cycle of being reincarnated and believed he did not have to come back anymore, but only to go to Nirvana when he died - wherever that is. He was full of himself with pride, happy go lucky, on this self induced high. How deceived, I wanted to say, but who could challenge a Guru with those degrees? He knew about Jesus, "one of the many millions of gods", he said, who "transcended as others have before him". Satan had him exactly where he wanted him. Would God send someone to unravel all that and rescue him? Hopefully.
