Just Posted - Death: an Encouraging Word.

I know it is "a doctrine of demons," but I would like an explanation of exactly what is demonic about it. I am not going to debate it or argue either, I just want to know what characterizes reincarnation as demonic.

Saying reincarnation is bad because it is pagan or a doctrine of demons, is like saying something is bad because it is bad. And anyway, I think the pagan argument is the weakest one there is for this case because...well I probably can't say without my post being deleted. Suffice it to say that I would like an explanation rather than a scapegoat.

And in case anyone gets the wrong idea, I am not trying to convert anyone.

Deborah-Leigh:

You know it is a doctrine of demons do you?

Why do I not believe that? .... If it is true that you DO KNOW IT IS A DOCTRINE OF DEMONS then WHY do you wish to discuss it? I would much prefer to put my mind on Christ and HIS Doctrine and Gospel. That is food to my soul and life to my heart....

Peace to you

Arcturus :)

When I say I know it, I mean I know that other people regard it as such. I'm just wondering why they think that and whether I am missing something.

Hi moseslmpg,

Is this response really necessary?

Perhaps instead of us scripturally refuting reincarnation you can provide the scriptural witnesses that support it.

Isa 8:20  To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

His Peace and Wisdom to you,

Joe

Well very few things are necessary, but that doesn't stop us from doing them. I'm still mildly frustrated that my post was deleted because I don't know why and as far as I know it didn't violate the forum rules. The idea that I got from that is if someone posts something, even a question, contrary to the consensus interpretation of the Bible the post is deleted. I can respect censorship in some cases, but I was clearly doing nothing wrong and I didn't even get a warning or indication that I was. This gives the illusion of infallibility and unwillingness to even consider other positions, so I felt that  the comment was warranted. Hopefully sarcasm isn't against the forum rules...


Anyway, back to the topic: I am not trying to convince anyone of reincarnation so giving evidence of it is pointless and could be construed as against teaching/preaching. I have already been given scriptural evidence that seems to refute reincarnation with a literal reading (although being untrue and being evil are two different things), but since that didn't help I would like someone to explain why reincarnation is bad.

I am asking a simple question, but people keep sidestepping it. Someone explain to me like I am a child, and I have no idea of what pagans are or what demonic means, why reincarnation is wrong. What ideal of Christianity does it obscure or corrupt?

If this is a futile line of questioning, please tell me and I will give it up.
