People can choose to believe it or not. , I swear in the name of God reincarnation happens just that it seems not understandable, once I go to a new place I use to remember myself being at that place in an ancient clothing and surrounding. And many other things too.

It's called deja vu or so.
It occurs when an event seems to you like a clear replay of what you've seen somewhere before and you could rightly predict the next line of action! We are the same.

As a matter of fact, once I anticipate an event, I could envision how it will happen and it would most like be so. Even for football games, I could predict to myself which side would win by how many goals scored by which players and when!!!

The world population is increasing in billions, if there is reincarnation, where is the increment coming from?
preacherz:
common sense alone will tell U reincarnation is real. that's d reason of d inequality in life.

reason U have kids of d same parents with different characters.
reason for phobia of a lot of things for most people like Height, water, cars, some food etc,
reason some people are giving birth as princes and princesses while some are born blind or with serious physical challenges...... that's karma visitation on souls on account of past life or else U feel God is not a just God.

reincarnation provides an enabling plain for karma.

its as real as karma!!!

I've heard rumours of reincarnation and they don't seem to cease but I haven't witnessed any myself and I'm certain that everyone on this thread haven't had an encounter either, they are all hearsays. So I don't believe stories of reincarnation. To me, when someone is deceased, they cease to exist.

Christians will be quick to dismiss the idea of reincarnation as a farce but in truth it's a reality. My brief stay in the village prior to my NYSC exposed me to the stark reality of reincarnation/returning bodies in our time...My dad passed on in March 2002 and my uncle's wife put to bed a son in August.... During my first visit to his house on independence day 2010; he said to me "See your father".... The boy was a carbon copy of my dad,behaved gently and differently from others and already had same stylish writing as my dad ...I left for my house with many questions to ask on the last day

How will one explain this situation.. I get to see somebody that looks like someone I know but isn't.. Then within 5_10 mins I'd actually see the real person just along that very path.. This has been happening for so long that whenever this happens, I'll say in my mind, I'm going to see such a person today, and I really do see them

Nice topic.

To me, I think death puts an end to the life of humans and animals as well. When a person dies, that's the end of it all. I don't believe in reincarnation.

I wonder why humans have so many beliefs where the soul of man goes to or what happens to man after death but has none as regards the end of animals

Mine is quite the opposite. 3 years ago, a girl here saw my display picture and asked if I am from warri that my face looked very familiar i said No because i then i was a staying in Edo state and i was born and bred there.. 2 years ago while still in Edo state, i was on a bike heading somewhere, a girl who also was on a bike heading opposite direction as me turned around after our eyes met and said "warri"? I shooked my head in disavowal. After my final exams i went home late 2017 so early last year, my dad told me an Uncle of mine who's in warri is requesting that i should come and visit him. Service year would commence later and i deemed it sensible to visit him.. I left for warri sometime in February and during my stay there i met a girl at an engineers shop. He sells Audio/Video Cds as well. She and the man knew themselves well and were discussing a movie airing on Gotv. I was sitting close to her and she said i look very familiar that if i was from Rivers state? lol. I said No why? she said it's nothing that the resemblance was too much although the guy is late. Was any of these events coincidental? Or is there something behind all these?

That's a rather stupid question isn't it? Think carefully about it.

The world didn't start existing when you were born. People, ranging in hundreds of billion have died before you came here.

Wouldn't a better question be; shouldnt there be more people on earth? Does everyone come back? Is there a rule that governs the dead coming back?

Should You Believe in Reincarnation?

THE Greek philosopher Plato connected falling in love with the idea of reincarnation. He believed that after the death of the body, the soul, being immortal, migrates to what has been called the “realm of the pure forms.” Bodiless, it remains there for some time, contemplating the forms. When it is later reincarnated into another body, the soul subconsciously remembers and yearns for the realm of forms. According to Plato, people fall in love because they see in their beloved the ideal form of beauty they vaguely remember and seek.

Identifying the Source and the Basis




The teaching of reincarnation requires that the soul be immortal. The origin of reincarnation, then, must be traced to those peoples or nations that held such a belief. On this basis, some think that it originated in ancient Egypt. Others hold that it got started in old Babylonia. To create prestige for the Babylonian religion, its priesthood advanced the doctrine of transmigration of the soul. They could thus claim that their religious heroes were reincarnations of notable, though long dead, ancestors.

It was in India, however, that belief in reincarnation came to full bloom. The Hindu sages were grappling with the universal problems of evil and of suffering among humans. ‘How can these be harmonized with the concept of a righteous Creator?’ they asked. They tried to resolve the conflict between God’s righteousness and the unforeseen calamities and inequalities in the world. In time, they devised “the law of karma,” the law of cause and effect—‘whatever a man sows, that shall he reap.’ They worked out a detailed ‘balance sheet’ whereby merits and demerits in one life are rewarded or punished in the next.

“Karma” simply means “action.” A Hindu is said to have good karma if he conforms to social and religious norms and bad karma if he does not. His action, or karma, determines his future in each successive rebirth. “All men are born with a blueprint of character, mainly prepared by their actions in previous lives, though their physical traits are determined by heredity,” says philosopher Nikhilananda. “A man is [thus] an architect of his own fate, the builder of his own destiny.” The ultimate goal, however, is to be liberated from this cycle of transmigration and be united with Brahman—the ultimate reality. This, it is believed, is achieved by striving for socially acceptable behavior and special Hindu knowledge.

The teaching of reincarnation thus uses as its foundation the doctrine of the immortality of the soul and builds on it using the law of karma. Let us see what God’s inspired Word, the Bible, has to say regarding these ideas.

Is the Soul Immortal?

To answer this question, let us turn to the highest authority on the subject—the inspired Word of the Creator. In the very first book of the Bible, Genesis, we learn the accurate meaning of “soul.” Regarding the creation of the first man, Adam, the Bible says: “Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul.” (Genesis 2:7) Clearly, the soul is not what a man has but what he is. The Hebrew word used here for soul is neʹphesh. It occurs some 700 times in the Bible, and it never refers to a separate and ethereal part of a human but always to something tangible and physical.—Job 6:7; Psalm 35:13; 107:9; 119:28.

What happens to the soul at death? Consider what happened to Adam at his death. When he sinned, God told him: “You [will] return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.” (Genesis 3:19) Think of what that means. Before God created him from the dust, Adam did not exist. After his death, Adam returned to the same state of nonexistence.

Simply stated, the Bible teaches that death is the opposite of life. At Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10, we read: “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol, the place to which you are going.”

This means that the dead are unable to do or feel anything. They no longer have any thoughts, nor do they remember anything. The psalmist states: “Do not put your trust in nobles, nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs. His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish.”—Psalm 146:3, 4.

The Bible clearly shows that at death the soul does not move on to another body, but it dies. “The soul that is sinning—it itself will die,” the Bible emphatically states. (Ezekiel 18:4, 20; Acts 3:23; Revelation 16:3) Thus, the doctrine of the immortality of the soul—the very foundation of the theory of reincarnation—does not find any support in the Scriptures. Without it, the theory collapses. What, then, explains the suffering we see in the world?

So how do u explain judgement, heaven and hell

JKisOK:
During a Sunday School session in a Christ Apostolic Church at Surulere, Lagos, a matter cropped up about someone who saw her dead father in dreams, giving her instructions on some matter.

Several suggestions were made to explain the phenomenon, with the Pastor dismissing it as demonic because it contradicted Heb 9:27, "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment."

The Pastor rather confidently generalised and categorised as evil all stories of departed souls being seen in unfamiliar environments, and the tendency for families to name new babies after a departed relation, in the belief that such were reborn. Can such cases be pinned on demonic body thieves?

Preferring to only listen, I wished I could tell the church that Jide Kosoko, yes, the Nollywood actor, had his maternal lineage enmeshed in such a story. His cousin, my friend, told me. And I am told the man produced a movie on the subject.

Today, a lady, told me of her Dad, a wealthy Igbo businessman, was matchetted to death in ethno-religious riots in Zaria in the 1960s. When the man's pregnant wife delivered, the baby girl bore dark marks all over her body that looked like machete cuts. That baby grew and always told her siblings and mum that she was their father and husband and had returned to continue the assignment of catering for them, which he was prevented from doing by his untimely death.

Can dead people return with repaired bodies? The Bible cites one instance, Matthew 27:52-53, "And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many."

Really, do we totally understand this subject of dead people having a second chance at life? Have we exposed everything about the cycle of life?

Abi, did the Bible not say in 1 Corinthians 13:9 "For we know in part..." and " Deuteronomy 29:29 "The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law"?

What are your thoughts? Share factual experiences, please.



PLEASE, CAN YOU HELP PUSH SO WE CAN GET ANSWERS? GOD BLESS YOU GUYS AS ALWAYS



Go to iseyin in Oyo state, you might found one of your dead family there. Life is truly misery, only those who don't understand won't know.

There are some places I have never really visited, but while there for the first time (in reality) I begin to fathom I have knowledge of the place... A strong and real feeling that I have been there before (sometimes in the past)!
And before you know it, I'll find my way very easily (like one familiar with the area) within the place! This happened in my first visits to Kaduna, Onitsha, Calabar and even some places within Lagos, where I really haven't been to before!
