    Put it into perspective, though. Each life is a learning experience. When we die we go to the afterlife, which is called the Bardo in Buddhism. It is similar to heaven or hell or in between, only it is temporary. Then we are born again into the next life. We continue to evolve gradually as we learn the lessons in each life, so we will be human again in the next one. Lower forms of life evolve over many lifetimes into higher ones. Then finally, when all the lessons have been learned, we no longer need a physical body, so we can move on permanently.

    If such was the case, we'd be much further along than we are now.
    A spiritual transferal of knowledge, understanding and experience over thousands and thousands of years would amass a much more impressive race of beings.

    We're not that race.

    No, nobody can have the exact same genes, not even twins. To look exactly like someone else isn't genetics, to resemble someone and to look almost identical is genetics.


    show me two people that look exactly alike, non twin, and then maybe i can try to see where you coming from.

    nobody looks EXACTLY like their great grandfather, ?

    Thats why I said that person would be the perfect example of being reincarnated. Because you can't look exactly like someone else, thats impossible. With all this technology today, when reincarnation happens , the person who is reincarnated will be able to prove it.

    There are plenty thing in this life that you can't remember. You were a baby but you don't remember it. Just because you don't remember it, that doesn't mean that you weren't a baby. So I don't remember isn't a strong argument, and not remembering a whole past life might be a blessing.

    Wow that makes it seem even more ? . How in the hell can you LEARN from one life to next if you cant even remember the errors you made in the past one. Thats ? *n idiotic.

    to be honest i have no clue.. i just live life with the faith that my good works will be rewarded when i pass...


    you cant say you have no clue, then say you believe you will be rewarded for your good works when you pass. You have to have some kind of clue right? I mean how do you know you are doing good work? is this based soley on if you followin the commandments? and even when you dont follow them you can ask for forgiveness and do it all over again. is that good works? where did all those people in the bible go after they died? why no stories on their afterlives? you dont have to answer, just thinkin outloud.

    Most are still dead just like everybody else. Only a select few have gone to Heaven. I dont subscribe to the you go to heaven when you die or hell, thats ? and not the truth. You aint goin nowhere untill Jesus returns to this Earth.

    he was Melchizedek

    but hes spirit was also present at times in the bible, before he was pshyically born...for example,the rock that moses struck in the desert, represented christ.
