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.
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.
No early Christians would have accepted reincarnation knowing what the Bible says about this as well as how we are made righteous through faith in Christ and we are justified and sanctified by HIS perfect sacrifice. There would be no point in having to endure multiple lifetimes to achieve what Scripture says is given to us as a gift by God's grace.
