Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism and other religions believe in dharma, which is basically tasks that one needs to complete in their lifetime. Do you believe that the form of life something or someone takes (such as a fish or dog) represents how they acted in their past lives? For example, do you think that a rapist years back could be the roach in your kitchen to this day? Or on a positive outlook, a kind and generous poor man could reborn into the prince of Thailand. What do you think?

What do you think? I don't know, but I hate rapists. Now that I know that rapists become roaches, I'm going to pull the legs off of every roach I see. QUOTE(Arjuna Capulong @ Mar 30 2007, 9:03 AM) I'm not sure which branch of Christianity it was, but it shouldn't matter too much since the essential teachings of all of the denominations should be rather similar. I mean, this was probably before many of the denominations existed. The only things that Christians agree upon is that Jesus, and God. There are so many different perceptions of the Bible that you really do need to specify. I know that my Church has never had a teaching on reincarnation. I don't think that the Catholic church (the largest sect. of Christianity) has ever held teachings to uphold the idea of reincarnation. You're talking about a tiny little "misguided" denomination of Christianity... I just don't think you should refer to the whole. Also, I don't know, but that seems like a bad example. You should really have a source or something, because it seems like your just trying to recall a blurry memory. |
