Yep, I asked myself the same question. Maybe reincarnation is only for the good chri$tians....oh, wait.
Some interesting reading in Matthew. I haven't looked at the bible since high school(25years ago), when I would argue the veracity with my school teachers. I promised myself I wouldn't do it again. D'oh.
Anyway, in case PC actually reads our posts, I've got a few points to make.
Matthew 24, bits in bluewoo. (King James Version, of course)
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
I think what he's saying here is you're in deep poo, PC.
The end of the verse spells it out clearly.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
This is my favourite bit. Did you miss this one PC?
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
Summer is coming when the fig tree has leaves. Who'd have thought?
@Shiner, #855
The spirit of Ama said that it may be better to die very good now than be reborn in another human being because he may become bad. He asked if what is happening now is becoming better or getting worse than say a generation ago? Is it better to be reborn to be given another chance? Did you know that the true God is now reducing people in this world?
Since most likely people will not be reborn anymore and this will be their last chance of being incarnated, now is the time to change a wrong outlook. Come back to the only true God and obey His commandments.
This is what Ama said on http://aristean.org/sermon005.htm titled “Beware of false prophets”: “The number of tempters and deceivers on earth will become many more and dense who will lead astray, misteach, deceive and blind many, many people. Many will spread the rumor that this is the beginning of the end. This will spread and many will claim that he is God, or God is in him, or he is inspired by God, or he is the messenger of God, and many will believe that will truly lead them astray. This is a warning or advice: beware of false prophets because we will not be save by borrowed faith.
“Remember, beware of false prophets who will give us borrowed faith, meaning, faith that did not come from within us but commanded to us, or told to or directed, imposed, dictated or compelled upon us by our fellowmen. We will not be saved this way. We must focus our faith in God, the only true God, who gave us our life, not through faith in Him as commanded by our fellowmen but believe and have faith in Him in our heart because of His being God and we are His creation.”
This is why Jesus was crucified and died – His sincere love to mankind. Heed His advice. “Have faith in Him in our heart because of His being God and we are His creation.’
You are right, Shiner, that the fig tree put forth leaves for summer is nigh (Matthew 24:32). That is why the crucifixion of Jesus is in summer – August 17, 1 BC to be exact. Jesus saw a fig tree afar off having leaves but found no fruit so He cursed it (Mark 11:12-14; Matthew 21:18-20).
