Bible Question:
If Christ brought back people from the dead, as did his disciples, as have occurred today, does this mean reincarnation, in some sense is acceptable as Christian Doctrine |
Bible Answer: I question the "as have ocurred today", but the examples of people coming back to life in the Bible are people coming back in their original body. Even Christs resurrection was in His body. There had been a change, but it was in His body which He was still in when He ascended into Heaven and which He will be in when He returns, His original "glorified" body. Reincarnation, literally "to be made flesh again", is a doctrine or metaphysical belief that some essential part of a living being (in some variations only human beings) survives death to be reborn in a new body. |
