1. Is belief in reincarnation acceptable to a Christian?
Correct answer: №3Correct!Educational materials: The Theory of ReincarnationComment:[This theory] is profitable only to the devil. And it is profitable first of all by the fact that a person who still has a remnant of conscience has a hope, a false opportunity to correct his life, but not now, when the time has already passed, but some other time, some other time. He thinks: "Now I live on this earth and I realise, of course, that I am a sinner. But it's all right, it's nothing. This life was not successful, but in the next life I will definitely change, I will pull myself together and try not to sin! And in that other life, when I come back to the earth, I will definitely start to improve myself spiritually and grow".
However, if we think wisely, his hope, even based on the theory of reincarnation, is also unfounded. Firstly, according to the karmic law connected with the theory of reincarnation, this person must go inevitably to a lower spiritual and moral level in the next incarnation and, accordingly, be born in worse conditions, even more encouraging to sin. Secondly, how will he take the mistakes of his previous life into consideration, when being born in a new body he will not know anything, as usual, about his previous incarnation and his previous mistakes? What should make him struggle with sin? The idea of Nirvana? It is unlikely.
