1 | Reincarnation, scripturally founded? | Heb 9:27 | Not yet | 150756 | ||
I often hear the word reincarnation in a scriptural sense. Scripture states that "it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment." This statement was made in the NT. I know that some OT individuals seemed to believe in reincarnation, but can anyone point out anything in the OT (other than questions) that might imply reincarnation? |

2 | Reincarnation, scripturally founded? | Heb 9:27 | Hank | 150757 | ||
Not yet: "And it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27). Scripture does not teach reincarnation. You say that you "know that some OT individuals seemed to believe in reincarnation." Can you cite any specific examples? --Hank | ||||||
3 | Reincarnation, scripturally founded? | Heb 9:27 | NYP | 150764 | ||
Well, not nessisarily OT, but actually I was thinking of when they asked John the Baptist if he were Elija. This implies to me that they may have believed in some form of reincarnation. There are other examples such as this, which I cannot currently bring to memory. How else could they have thought him Elija, but through reincarnation? | ||||||
4 | Reincarnation, scripturally founded? | Heb 9:27 | Hank | 150774 | ||
NYP: While Scripture does not teach reincarnation, possibly one of the clearest examples that belief in reincarnation, though erroneous, existed in Bible times is given in Matthew 16:13,14. --Hank | ||||||

Well Hank, there is no doubt that Simon Peter cleared that particular matter up. This is my point. Scripture often points out the fact that many, in Christs day seemded to believe in reincarnation. It appears, though one might consider it a pagan belief, the Jews were affected by it. Other than in the verse I quoted originally, scripture never dirrectly address' this matter. Or have I overlooked it? |

6 | Reincarnation, scripturally founded? | Heb 9:27 | Hank | 150870 | ||
NYP: If it does, I too have overlooked it. But don't take my oversights very seriously: Never has there been a time when I sat myself down to study the Bible that I haven't found things in it that I'd overlooked before. I read "Gone With the Wind" many years ago and felt at the time fairly sure I'd got out of it about all Margaret Mitchell put into it, and so have never read it again or plan to. But Margaret Mitchell didn't write the Bible! --Hank | ||||||
7 | Reincarnation, scripturally founded? | Heb 9:27 | NYP | 150874 | ||
Every time I read the Bible, I get a little more out of it. Yet I am occasionally amazed when, in reading a passage I could nearly quote, I discover a new and deeper truth. I am constantly searching for some deeper truth and greater understanding of the Word. Where scripture is concerned; I feel like a starving beggar sitting in the front of a table filled with every delicious and delectiable morsel of nourishment, known to man, and then more. It is my greatest desire to be fatter spiritually than I am "physically." That is one belt size I am glad to see increasing. |
