Yeah, and if you pray extra hard, you get special pearls with a proximity sensor that warns you if you cast them before swine.

I don't really want to get into it right now. I personally don't particularly think reincarnation is likely, but I understand many Jews believe in it, and that there's some passages they interpret as supporting it.

" I understand many Jews believe in it, and that there's some passages they interpret as supporting it."

not this again. If you look in the context and use some common sence you can see reincarnation is NOT something jews believe in.

Really? I didn't get that.

I would tend to agree here, Jesus is coming back to establish his kingdom on earth, probably pretty soon IMO (by the look of things), and that's about it.

Reincarnation has been a part of the beliefs of some Jews for a LONG time, certainly at least a millennium. Some sects explicitly denounce such beliefs, others encourage them. Most don't care; to most Jews, the question of what happens after death is seen as entirely up to God.

But the bible tells us what happens after death. As a Christian I would have to say they are incorrect.

"Reincarnation has been a part of the beliefs of some Jews for a LONG time, certainly at least a millennium."

Nope, you're thinking about being given a new body, not the usual reincaration idea. Try again.

*chuckles* oh and thanks for proving my point seebs..

"The notion of reincarnation, the transmigration of a soul after death into a new body, has no place in the Bible. The classical rabbinic works (midrash, Mishna and Talmud) also are silent on this topic. These beliefs originally only existed in a few gentile sects; "

notice the word FEW and gentile.

Wow! Acme SmartPearls!

So? I merely pointed out that some Jews believe that. Me, I observe that universalists, eternalists, and annihilationists all feel their positions are supported by scripture. For any one of them to be true, the passages the others cite must be figurative or allegorical. I don't know which ones are figurative, or which literal, or any of that... so I ignore the whole thing, since I don't need to know, and it's not going to change my plans in any way. I do my best and trust God; nothing else would make any sense.
