1 | reincarnation or not? | John 3:7 | Beanyboy | 200051 | ||
This is a fresh start. With a new spirit this is what is meant by being born again. Jesus came to give new life so in a sense we are being reincarnated. Remember He told Nichademus that you had to be baptized in 4 parts water, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost(spirit). Again this is not a physical rebirth it is a spiritual rebirth. | ||||||

Beanyboy- welcome to the Study Bible Forum. I'm not wanting to be inappropriately critical or to misrepresent your point or intent. The being born again that Christ spoke of is something much more than a fresh start and likely you understand that. It seems that you go on to support this in your following statements regarding "new spirit" and "new life" just wanting to clarify. I am more concerned though with your statement "in a sense we are being reincarnated". While you may be thinking strictly on a Websters definition of reincarnation, we have to be careful not to impress others the wrong way. In this case (and keeping in mind the non-Christian religious takes on reincarnation) we have to be careful to ensure we don't leave a door open for any to try and intentionally or unintentinoally merge truth with untruth. We end up with untruth every time. Again, I'm sensing from your short post that you understand it properly, just cautioning about the way it was presented. Hope I was helpful. God bless, Jeff |
