Introduction!

Reincarnation is in the Protestant Bible, in the Catholic Bible, and in most major religious texts that I have read.

An actual case of reincarnation is recorded in the gospel of Matthew, given by JESUS Himself, and other standard versions, including the Catholic.

Reincarnation is the JUDGEMENT of our loving Father, who has not willed that any of us his children, should perish.

From the despair of our fall from the throne of grace, back to the glories of our real home, these pages I write with God's help, to help you the reader to see the beautiful plan of salvation for everyone, the whole world over.

In The Beginning !

In The Beginning!

We were created in the very beginning, before Adam was ever placed in the garden of Eden. Gen. 1: 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; MALE AND FEMALE created he them.

Psalm 82:6 - "I have said ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

Gen. 2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and ALL THE HOST OF THEM.

We are the host of Heaven. As God's children, we are home with Him.

During the flood, God promises to "remove man from the face of the earth."

God is a God of love, he can remove our physical bodies from the earth, and retain our spirit bodies in heaven. We are His children, and He want's to save us all.

Gen. 7:21 And all FLESH died. That moved upon the EARTH.

It seem's that the FLESH got tainted, perhaps through interbreeding with animals, as well as the "Son's of God" Gen. 6:2

I like to think that the flood washed away the corruption at least temporarily, and us baby god's were given a cleaned out playpen called Earth.

Some changes were made, in our time out periods, instead of 8 or 9 hundred years, We can barely make a hundred.

Prov.8: 22 The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

23. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

24. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

25. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth.

26. While as YET HE HAD NOT MADE THE EARTH, nor the fields.....

27. When he prepaired the HEAVENS, I was there: .......

30. Than I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him.

31. Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of man.

See also Job. 38: 4

AND I KNOW IT

I am Man.
I am Man and know...
that Man is a lost God.
I am a Man...
and a lost God...
who is not really lost...
but just not awakened.
And when I awaken...
to the Eternal Light...
the Christ Within...
I will have awakened...
to the Light I am.
My Body is the Temple...
of the Living God Within.
The Christ Within.
I am what I am.
A God in Hiding.
Greatness beyond Limits.
And I know it.

The Law Of Karma !

The Law Of Karma!

The Law Of karma, most simply put... is, as the Bible puts it, that "Whatsoever a man soweth, that also will he reap.!

It has also been described as ... "What goes around, comes around."

The Bible is quite emphatic about this law, insisting on a rather exact measure, ie: eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, and life for life, see Deut. 19:21

Reincarnation is judgement, the judgement that we reap what we sow, good for good, joy for joy, smile for smile, love for love, hate for hate.

The law works on the physical, as well as the emotional and spiritual levels, in the exact same measure, and spirit.

For this reason, people usually reincarnate in groups called generations, so to better interact with those whom they had interacted with before.

Consider these Bible verses, and see if they don't make more sense to you when you view them in the light that is reincarnation:

Exd 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity (sin's) of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me; - (This is repeated in the next three verses,) - Exd 34:7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear [the guilty]; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth [generation]. - Num 14:18 The LORD [is] longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation]. - Deu 5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me.

Without reincarnation, many interpret these verses, as showing a vengeful, unjust God, ... but consider reincarnation and you have an example of the law of karma ... that is if you teach your children to hate God, you will be taught to hate God from your children, (a few generations (er..lifetimes, later), thus your hate is returned to you, to set back your progress in spirituality, just as you have set back your children's progress in spirituality, Remember, that we have an eternity to grow to Heaven.

Matt. 12:41 .. The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold a greater than Jonas is here. 42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

Consider also these verses ....
Matt. 24: 34 ... this generation shall not pass till all these things be fulfilled. ..... I know that there are other ways to intrepret these passages, but still to come, are verses that can't possibly be refuted by anyone's logic, and actual proof positive that reincarnation is in the King James Version of the Bible. So please read on....

Cain and Abel !

Cain and A'bel!

Gen. 4 Abel was a keeper of sheep, while Cain was a tiller of the ground.

These first generation, in the flesh, of God's children, were both pleasing and a dissapointment. Even before Cain slew Abel, he managed to run afoul of God's good graces, but when he murdered Abel, whom God favored, and lied about the murder. I can only imagine how wroth God was with him.

God handeled Cain in patience, kindness, and love, even putting some kind of mark on him, to protect him from the wrath of his fellow mankind.

Now let us advance forward in time, to the flood and beyond...

To the time of Abraham, whom God said Joshua 24: 3 And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac. (If you don't believe in reincarnation, what can you make of "the other side of the flood", which happened many years before Abraham, and was said to destroy all flesh.??)



Consider these simularities, in the coming generations...

Cain kills Abel, thus depriving him of his birth-right....Abraham's wife, Sarah is barren until old age, when she gives birth to Isaac....Isaac's wife Rebecca is barren until old age and gives birth to twins, Jacob and Esau.


Now God gets totally out of character, for God, that is, and "hates Esau, and "loves" Jacob, while they were yet both in Rebecca's womb, and not yet named, God tells Rebecca that they will be leaders of two nations.

How can God be unfair, to condem an innocent babe...unless...unless Esau is the reincarnation of Cain, or another bad person, than the Bible makes sense,

Why did the babes fight, even in the womb? Well if Esau was Cain, perhaps Jacob was Abel. They live out their interesting lives in Gen. 25 through Gen.43 see also Mal. 1: 3 and Romans 9: 13 Jacob have I loved, and Esau have I hated.

Holy Writ!

Holy Writ!

The Bible as we know it, didn't come to us on one neet scroll, nor in proper time frame, nor even with known author.

The Bible came to religious leaders over the ages, scroll by scroll, and religious leaders decided which scrolls would be excepted as "Bible" and which scrolls would be rejected. These determinations were made in the early Christian Church prior to the Council of Constantinople in 533 CE: and one book (scroll) That I thought was rather good, was rejected marely because it mentioned "world's across the sea" and the monks reasoned that since the world was flat, there could not be any "worlds across the sea" so they tossed out the scroll.

Let us consider one of these lost books of the Bible in 1 Clement 11:17 - 18 "Let us contemplate, beloved, the resurrection that is continually made before our eyes ... 18. Day and night manifest a resurrection to us, The night lies down, and the day arises: AGAIN the day departs, and the night comes on. and in 11:13 Oh ye fools! consider the trees: take the vine for an example, first it sheds it's leaves, than it buds, than it flowers, than the sour grapes, and after them the ripe fruit.

The prince of hell declares to Satan; in Nicodemus 15:12-13 "They who have been kept here till they should live again upon earth were taken away hence, not by their own power, but by prayers made to God, and their almighty God took them from me. 13. Who then is that Jesus of Nazareth, that by His word hath taken away the dead from me, without prayer to God?" - The Gospel of Nicodemus (formerly called the Acts of Pontius Pilate) written about the third centuary apocryphal volumns of the Bible.

There is this curious statement in the last chapter and verse of the book of Daniel, Dan. 12:13 New American Standard Bible, "But as for you, (Daniel) go your way to the end: Than you will enter into rest, and rise again for your allotted portion, at the end of the age. (NASB)

God confronts Job, in Job 38:4 - 21. "you know, for you were born than (in the beginning, creation,), and the number of your days is great.

We are God's,(Psalms 82:6) Immortal baby gods, all of us were created in the beginning.

Elias and John!

Elias and John!

Here is the actual case of reincarnation that Jesus very plainly pointed out.

Start with Mal. 4:5 I will send you Elijah the prophet...(Elijah is the greek spelling for Elias)

Elijah's, (Elias's ) life time is recorded in 1 Kings 17:1 through 2 Kings 2:11 when he was taken to Heaven by a chariot of fire. He lived as a man, and as a prophet, at one time he was fed by birds, Ravens, he was God's faithful servant, and through God, could heal the sick, and raise the dead, and cause the rain and dew to cease, until he gave the command.

Now let us fast forward to Mark 1:2 Behold, I send my messenger before thy face. Now John the baptist is concieved and born, see Luke 1:5 - 17 And he shall go before him in the Spirit and power of Elias The angel instructs the Father Zacharias to call the baby's name John (the baptist) so Elias was born again, only this time his name is John, still not convinced, read on.

Mt 11: 12-14 For all the prophets and the law prophesied unto John. 14. And if ye will receive it, this IS Elias, which was for to come. 15. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. (Indeed, what could be plainer spoken)

Mt 17:10 - 14 And his disciples asked him , saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? 11 And Jesus answered and said unto them,Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. 12 But I say unto you, that Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. 13. Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

This discussion occurred after John had been beheaded. (These verses are again repeated in Mk 9: 11 - 13 Also see Lk 1:17 and Lk 7:27

Compare the lifetimes of Elias, and John; notice how Elias caused the rain and dew to cease, and I imagine a lot of people went hungry, they may have had to eat only locust and wild honey, just as John later ate himself, in a very dry desert. Also Elias had the Idol worshipping priests, beheaded, and as John, he was also beheaded.

In John 1:21, John is asked if he is Elias, he deny's it, but considering that we can't for the most part recall our past lives, and that he was, at that point in time, really John, and not Elias; so he indeed was telling the truth. Jesus had a greater knowledge of the whole plan of creation.

John 3:5 - 6. Look on it again, hopefully with new eyes; "Except a man be born of water and the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God." A baby is encased in a bag of "water's" before birth, and the water could refer to baptism, and if you take away my body, what you have left is my spirit. Being born again of the spirit is reincarnating, and baptism I believe, is a symbol of reincarnating, when you are baptised, you come out of the water feeling clean and new, but when you are litterly born again, you ARE a New Creature

Here is another confusing verse, until we look more closely....."It is appointed unto man, once to die, and after that the judgement". Heb.9:27 Yes if we can either live perfect or pay for our deeds,good or bad, all in one lifetime, thus fulfilling the law of karma, we don't need to come back. Reincarnation IS THE JUDGEMENT.

The disciples indeed understood reincarnation, when they asked Jesus "Who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was BORN blind." John 9:2 Again, how can one sin before birth?

A Perspective Of Love

How can the law of karma work for instance, when the Nazi's tortured and murdered the Jews. Some Nazi's have not been brought to justice to this day, let alone an eye for an eye, in exact measure; but look what is happening in Kosovo .... all things are being repeated, the labor camps, the starvation, the genocide, only this time (I bet!), the former victims are more than likely the perpetrators and vice versa, Of course I don't know this, but the conditions are ripe for the "law" to be fulfilled.

No matter how justified we may be to "strike back," to do so puts one on the bad side of the law of karma, as Jesus said "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." and "turn the other cheek." "Vengance is mine sayeth the Lord, I will repay." "Love your enemys" "do good to those who hate you."

Why did the Jew's become victims of the Nazi's in the first place? Could they have been Christians during the Crusades? Read Mt.5:18-48, Jesus again makes it plain that we must be quite perfect to enter into the kingdom of Heaven, could a loving Father expect his children to gain this kind of perfection in one lifetime?

Mt.7:1-6 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2. For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you AGAIN.

God's justice is perfect, we get exactly what we deserve, but what then did Christ's death on the cross accomplish?? Jesus said that he came to fulfill the law, what law, if not the law of karma. (God's Law!) Matt 5:18 Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no way pass from the LAW, till all be fulfilled." "I am the way. the truth, the life, no man cometh unto the Father except by means of me:" We follow the same way as Jesus, when we treat our fellow mankind as Jesus did, Jesus showed us the way.

Did Jesus reincarnate?? The Bible strongly hints that Jesus was Adam in the Garden of Eden. The first Adam (means man) brought sin into the world, and the last Adam will take sin out of the world.

Jesus said Mt.22:32 "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." and in Mt.23:36 "Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation." (Unless you accept reincarnation, This Generation passed away a long time ago.) and again in Mt. 24:34.

Job 1:2 Job has 7 sons, and 3 daughters. A servant tells Job that his children were all dining at one house when the roof collapsed killing all of them, ...Job say's "Naked came I out of my mothers womb, and naked shall I return thither. Now in Job 42:13-14 Job AGAIN gets 7 sons and three daughters, as a blessing from the Lord. Did the same children reincarnate to Job, if they were different children, no "other" children could have replaced the lost children.

The more I read the Bible, the more of reincarnation makes sence and enables the Bible to show the Love of God.

"For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall ye be saved;" Isaiah 30:15 "To him that overcometh, will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out no more. Rev 3:12

RESURGAM

There is no death! The stars go down
To rise upon some other shore,
And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown
They shine for evermore.

There is no death! The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer showers
To golden grain, or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow-tinted flowers.

And ever near us,though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless universe
Is life--there are no dead!

~John Luckey McCreery~

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? ...But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 cor. 15:55-57

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting.
And cometh from afar;
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter darkness,
But trailing clouds of glory, do we come
From God, who is our home.

~Wordsworth~
