Bible Question:
Mark:10:28: Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. Mark:10:29: And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, Mark:10:30: But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. When would you have more mothers? a hundredfold of them? When and where would you have brothers - a hundredfold of them? And on top of that persecutions. Obviously not in heaven. Does this verse confirm reincarnation? How could you have a hundredfold of mothers if not thru rebirth or reincarnation? |
Bible Answer: MYR: Concerning the passage in Mark 10:29-31, please permit an illustration of which I have personal knowledge. There is in my local church a couple who years ago felt called to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to foreign lands. They lived outside of my home town on a large farm which they owned. They came from a large well-to-do family. But they left their house, their farm, their brothers and sisters, their parents for Jesus' sake and the gospel's sake. (compare Jesus statement in verse 29). Last year at our church we celebrated a homecoming event in honor of this selfless couple and lo! literally scores of people from a half dozen foreign countries as well as many parts of the United States came to join in the celebration, and the man and his wife, these missionaries, repeatedly referred to these visitors as their family. They had many hardships together and suffered persecutions, which served to draw them even closer together as the family of God. They had received "a hundred times as much now....brothers and sisters and mothers and children....along with persecutions. And they spoke as regenerate believers of their steadfast hope of eternal life in the age to come. (Compare with verse 30). .... Does this real-life illustration shed light for you on the meaning of this passage? The Bible in no place teaches reincarnation, but it does teach regeneration. The two are not the same. --Hank |
