I did think that they did twinc
You will have to elaborate on your quote a bit.
He had to.okay - so appx 500years after the birth of Christianity a Pope forbade Christians from accepting or believing in reincarnation which means until then they did believe and accept so why don't you and others - twinc
He had to.
catholics were going back to Baal worship and all that went with it and he had to put his foot down.
He had the power to do that in those days.

The early Christians did NOT believe in reincarnation. That is a belief of Eastern religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, etc.)why do Protestants accept what the Pope and Catholics declare and accept and not what is in the bible and was accepted by the early Christians - twinc
"IF that is really him" is the key. He likes to adopt the personas of others. Like I said before, an identity issue....and I really like Rollos...IF that is really him, lol..
I think your photos come out great! Your smile does reach your eyes! Yes, I know if it is him that pic has to be 30-40 yrs. old ♥It does look like a real 'him' but not him now...don't forget he is a Vet and though he'd like to be that young...he isn't ... LOL Who of us IS!!!
The one of me here is only a couple of years old , but I am even greyer than that now. I never seem to be standing in the right place when anyone is snapping photo's![]()
Anyone you believes in reincarnation is wrongso why do you have to - it would seem the Reformation missed it - so how about putting it right now or agreeing it is wrong - twinc

how's about this one?"IF that is really him" is the key. He likes to adopt the personas of others. Like I said before, an identity issue.
Hi Twink,
Reincarnation, IMO, is deeply rooted in Eastern Mysticism. Some believe that they have to keep living their lives over ad over again till they "get it right". Many teach that their "real" pain is only an allusion and it's not real. I don't see one single thing in scripture that could ever support this, unless one totally wrests them out of (way out of) context.
In Him,
-nancy
of course
Why would i do that, you look like a porn star from the 70's!Keep looking at me Nancy.
So you are trying to justify your belief in reincarnation with all this talk about dreams and dreaming? If reincarnation is a false doctrine according to Scripture, there is nothing there to be correctly expounded. And if you persist in holding on to false beliefs, you will never arrive at a proper understanding of the truth.of course this is the problem just as Jesus said then applies very much so even now with those even now who falsely and incorrectly interpret scriptures - Jesus said 'you do err not knowing the scriptures' this He said to the scripture scholars of the day - here you do not really correctly expound about reincarnation - its a bit like 'dreams and dreaming' most have had many dreams and yet have learnt very little or what is of little importance or consequence and have not even observed whether their dreams were in colour or black and white - twinc
