Here's a question to ponder: If you had a choice between never existing at all, or being reincarnated repeatedly to eventually live every life that has ever and will ever exist, which would you choose?

Whatever the enemy can do to inject doubt, or distract one from the truth, he does.

IMHO-FWIW-the main point of Jesus's teachings is that you DO get a Second Chance and you CAN recognize and correct your mistakes (also make new ones, that's another thread). I think of reincarnation as a Second Chance, in my view you get to come back in a New and Improved version. As You.

Who would of thought a bunch of crazed gun lovers would be interested in one of the oldest conundrums of all time! Kinda scary isn't it?

For what it's worth...
Dr Walter Martin, PhD authored a well received book called the Kingdom of the Cults in the '70's and became some what famous. He distinguished between Pantheism (I'm god, your god everything that lives is a god) and Monotheism (only one god).
He investigated the Casey claim on the girl. His conclusion was that this was some sort of demonic entity manifesting itself through the hypnosis and that there were signs of Satanic Activity in the family which she was either doing or the family was doing, IIRC. This girl also was devoutly devoted to Pantheism and reincarnation.
The investigations also show some detail but, not intimate detail if she was truly reincarnated.
His conclusion also was that Casey was not telling the truth, embellished the truth and dramatized the truth.

This is what I believe. We don't get to make the rules. I am a christian and I don't claim to know all the details of heaven and hell. I live by faith and believe I cant change Gods plan, rules and laws by sidestepping them or inventing new ones. It seems to me life is something like a onion. It has many layers and the more skins we peel back the more we learn. What I can change is my souls destination and rewards and penalty's by playing life's game according to Gods wish's and word the best I can.
I don't know why I was born in this country at this point of time by the parents I have had. I could have been born in Ethiopia as a cripple by a single mom and having fly's crawl up my nose and starving. So could you.
Then we see people born as fortunate as us commit suicide or fall into a life of crime and poverty. Someone here pointed out that some of these supernatural experiences are devilish distractions to confuse us from the truth and I believe that too. I like the analogy I heard long ago. A atheist and a christian were discussing the matter. The atheist was trying to make his case that there was no God and the christian said well, if your right and I die nothing will happen to me after death, I wont know anything. But if I am right and your wrong when you die there will be hell to pay.
