  4. Definitions Reincarnation re = again in = inside carne = flesh To enter the flesh again Transmigration – goes into a new body Karma – actions decide destiny déjà vu - already seen “retrocognition”

  5. Explanation • Soul broke off from God – trying to return • Perfection in life is required • Widespread and growing doctrine • Famous people believe in reincarnation • “Neverdies”

  6. Moral Implications Reincarnation • Homosexuals – previous life • Abortion – fetus message to mother • S.I.D.S. – come back • Suicide – start another life

  7. Twisted Bible References Reincarnation • Matt. 11:14 – John as Elijah • John 3:3 – born again and again • Gal. 6:7 – so shall he reap

  8. Teaching Reincarnation Matt. 11:14 “Elijah” ~ John the Baptist Jn.3:3 “born again” ~ spiritual Gal.6:7 “reap” ~ eternal state Gen.5:5 “Adam” - “all the days” 930 yrs.

  9. Teaching Reincarnation Eccl. 9:5-6 “under the sun” Heb. 9:27 “once to die” Matt. 17:3ff - transfiguration of Moses Luke 16:19-31 Rich man and Lazarus

  10. Teaching Reincarnation “The way of all the earth” Joshua 23:4 1 Kings 2:2 “I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.” 2 Sam. 12:23

  11. Teaching Reincarnation Resurrections disprove reincarnation • Lazarus – Jn. 11:43-46 • Tabitha – Acts 9:36-43 Came back as the very person they were

  12. Teaching Reincarnation “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” 2 Cor. 5:10 Which person would be judged ?

  13. Reincarnation Fruits: India - Doctrine - over 3,000 years ago Conditions are not so good If reincarnation were true life would be better than any place on earth.

  14. Reincarnation • Not taught in the Bible • Bible says: • we came from God • here to serve God • a universal judgment • eternity determined by response that we make to Christ

  15. Are You Ready ? John 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, John 5: 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
