May a Christian Believe in Reincarnation?

[St. SteVen]

Jesus said "there is one life, one death and then the judgment".

That's a misquote. Jesus didn't say that.

Ecclesiastes 12:7 NIV
and the dust returns to the ground it came from,
and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

So, you didn't watch the video, but you have a full review?

I watched enough. Been around a long time. My family and I tossed these concepts around 50 years ago. They contemplated the similar mysteries as this doctor did and also came to the same conclusions. I did not buy into it. My mom, brother and uncle did as many do.
But later in in life after becoming a Christian, I was enlightened to Satan's schemes and tricks. Read the "Screwtape Letters", a book describing how demons operate to deceive and lead many into darkness. Hindus are living in darkness, so are Buddhists. They believe in reincarnation.
I once watched a movie called "Seven Years In Tibet". It was about the DlI Lama as a child, who wanted building built. They had to did up the ground for the foundation. When I saw the Monks kneel down to pray for the worms lives and being displaced ( thinking they were reincarnated souls), I realized how ridiculous the idea of reincarnation was and how far it could deceive. You see Monks who you think are spiritual people and wise; they are lost and confused. They are in harmony with nature though ( and that is their philosphy) - it is peaceful. There is nothing wrong with that only that they are missing the Big Picture, a relationship with Christ. They just don't have a clue about God, the meaning of life and death or judgment.
And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,
HEBREWS 9:27

 

[St. SteVen]

And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,
HEBREWS 9:27

How do you know they aren't sent back to try again after the judgment? To live and be judged again.

Christian theology teaches this in many passages too numerous to mention. Did you skip Christianity 101? It is basic stuff - reincarnation is a lie perpetrated by Satan.

Here's an interesting and short (under 8 minutes) video on the subject that no one will watch. Thanks.

I watched the video. I'm just wondering something. If everyone has been reincarnating for so many millennia (and longer) how does this fit in with the expansion of human beings living on earth? We now have 8 billion people on earth, so where are they reincarnating from?

The Bible tells us that the spirit returns to God who gave it. (Ecclesiastes 12:7)
