It’s bad enough so many people interpret scriptures to mean God, out of infinite love, created people ignorant, with one shot - and one shot only - to receive heaven, otherwise everlasting hell.
Reincarnation? You mean that thing accepted all over the world as being completely rational, the foundation back through time of all spiritual philosophy, the sole explanation that would mean God really is a God of love and would never create someone who could end up in hell forever, and oh yeah, used to be a part of the original Christian belief system and had to be argued over so hard that its believers had to be killed to shut them up? That reincarnation?
Nah.
Yet, that’s not enough! No - people then have to set the bar higher - and higher, and higher! You get no reincarnation, but you’re saved? God says - what have you done for me recently!
You’ve done something recently? You’re still saved? Ah, but you’re the wrong faith!
Right faith?
Wrong denomination!
Jesus came and opened his arms.
“Christians” have been trying to close them ever since.
AND close His hands.
AND his fingers.
No wonder Jesus wept.
IT WASN’T THE NAILS THAT HELD HIM ON THAT CROSS - IT WAS HIS LOVE!
HE did THAT to let people IN!
NOT KEEP THEM OUT!
You know that “log” Jesus said to take out of your eye, so you can see the speck in someone elses?
WELL ORIGINALLY HE DIDN’T SAY “EYE.”
Are you actually touting reincarnation as a Christian tenet?
Would be very interested in seeing a reference for that.
Reincarnation??
Tell me, if your soul, or whatever, comes back and remembers NOTHING of your previous life, aren’t YOU as good as dead?
And if what you have to look forward to is the dissolution of self into the infinite all, what is the point? Belief in death being nonexistence makes more sense, and seems preferable to me.
