Reincarnation

From what I gather, the kid was obsessed with aircraft prior to, and could name models of aircraft with ease.

But what about his crying about his 'made up' story five times a week, for years.



The book was also written by the parents after several years of trying to confirm their belief, to the point of taking their child to a reunion meeting of a WW2 crew, and their only evidence is they don't believe their child who was obsessed with aircraft and saturated with information about them could have named a few things during WW2, including naming a pilot who just happened to have a very common name.


The child named the pilots exact name and also the copilots.

The parents were also typical westerners who did not have bellief in reincarnation. This was the reason why the father researched the whole thing in order to prove the assumption that the child was reincarnated wrong inspite of all the factual and technical details he stated, and emotional grief he consistently displayed over his death in the past life.

There is no mention about airplane mechanics or specific details about them.

He did mention about the drop tank. About the corsair, he stated thus, ' 'That's a Corsair. They used to get flat tyres all the time. And they always wanted to turn left when they took off.'

Your posts certainly don't convey as much.

Here's some recommended reading I've posted previously that you will probably ignore.

"The Historical Jesus," by scholar Dr. Gary Habermas;
"New Evidence that Demands a Verdict," by former skeptic Josh McDowell;
"Baker Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics," by Dr. Norman Geisler;
"The Case for Christ," by Lee Strobel," and
"The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus," by Dr. Gary Habermas.

The Hindu Vedas

Definition: "Reincarnation, a major tenet of Hinduism, is when the soul, which is seen as eternal and part of a spiritual realm, returns to the physical realm in a new body. The belief is that a soul will complete this cycle many times - even hundreds of times, learning new things each time and working through its karma. This cycle of reincarnation is called samsara."

Analysis: From a Biblical standpoint, reincarnation is a false doctrine: “It is appointed for man to die ONCE, and after that to face the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).

In some Hindu teachings, if a person is "bad" in the present life, they may well wind up as a protected 'temple rat" in the next life. Which begs the question: If one is a 'bad' temple rat in that life, do they further regress to a temple cockroach, with an infinite regression back to an ill-mannered amoeba? What's more, who was the first person on earth reincarnated from, and which power on earth or in heaven facilitates those supposed rebirths?

Reincarnation voids the necessity of Christ for salvation and eternal life. If one can simply 'live again,' then what is the need to believe in Jesus? Therefore, Biblically speaking, the idea of reincarnation is Satanic.

The Bible makes it clear that Satan has been around since before the Garden of Eden. He knows what occurred in the lives of such people as Alexander the Great, Cleopatra, Hitler, and every other person who has lived since the creation of mankind. It is certainly not a “reach” then to believe that he and / or his demonic spirits can impart false memories of “prior lives” into the unregenerate minds of men, especially when those individuals are making an effort – such as in a seance – to establish “contact” with a former self or higher spiritual power.

Finally, there has never been any credible evidence that I've ever seen that reincarnation exists. If anyone has a good example of an individual who purported to have reincarnated, I'd like to see it.
Early Christians believed in reincarnation. Some Bible verses allude to it.

Uh, recincarnation, at least in Hinduism as I am familar with it, doesn't have people reincarnating into animals. Moreso a Bhuddist thing for some.
I had always wondered about that. Since animals mostly respond by instinct, how can there be any karma accrued?
 
The interesting point is that reincarnation only came into Hinduism with the Upanishads, in the 4 Vedas most beliefs of today's Hinduism are not found. Since Scripture has existed in India only since 300 B.C., it cannot be ruled out that the idea of reincarnation was only born through the debates with earlier Buddhism. Later the Upanishads was declared as part of the Vedas.

The idea of reincarnation is no crazier than much of what is in the Bible, like the concepts of heaven and hell.

You just hate the Bible because it doesn't approve of immoral gay sex and that those who practice the sin will not enter into heaven but be cast into the Lake of Fire (1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Revelation 21:8)..

Some may have believed in it but it's not seen as being legitimate in the Bible.

Hebrews 9:27 - "It is appointed unto men ONCE to die, but after this the judgment."

I'd like to see what verses you think allude to it? Because I think you've taken them out of context.

Your take on faith is highly unpleasant and very extreme, you seem to get off on it, which is very sad. It is also very abusive when aimed at children and the vulnerable. You have no verifiable evidence to support your POV, the Bible is NOT evidence.

Go tell that nonsense to your pet carp. He might believe you.

One has to pity you, I suppose. I have come across many people of your ilk in my 69 years on this planet, especially during my childhood. Preaching your sort of garbage to a child is highly abusive and should be treated as such, and the culprits prosecuted as they have no verifiable evidence to support it.

I wonder how you would react if you met St Peter at the pearly gates, assuming heaven exists, and you were barred from entering because your highly unpleasant take on the faith had turned people right off it? THINK ON!

There won't be any unrepentant Sodomites in heaven, JJ. The Bible is clear on that (Luke 13:3; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Revelation 21:8) so I'm not the least bit worried about St. Pete.

Well maybe you should be, your brand of faith is a turn off for any decent person!

That's true, which is why I'm privy for rebirth* which is probably 1/4 crazy.

*Well my version of it anyways.

My life has had its ups and downs like that of most people, but on the whole I have had a good life. I have a wonderful family, my husband and I are quite comfortable financially in our senior years. I would hate to be reincarnated and live a worse life than I have now.

Certainly not after "heretics" were killed.

Thank you for saying what the rest of us were thinking. lol
