Interesting, reincarnation may have been part of Jewish belief?

I am so Joyful and at Peace by God's grace to be a Christian. My Lord Jesus Christ shows me that glorified bodily resurrection is my future state and eternal existence in constant intimate relationship with Him!

1 Corinthians 1:21-24 21For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. 22For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Just what is it that people are looking for with signs anyway?

Signs, well, actually miracles, for unbelievers are understandable. It is a witness to men about God. It can convict unbelievers that God is real. Jesus used miracles to bring men to Himself all the times. But read what He says about people looking for signs. It's easy to do a keyword search on the word sign on somewhere like the Biblegateway.

But believers should already have that *God is real* already covered. What do they need signs for? I can't think of a *sign* that modern day believers look for that can't be counterfeited by the enemy.

Anyone who claims to be a believer who is depending on signs to validate some work to determine if it's from God or not is leaving themselves open to spiritual deception.
