REINCARNATION: TRUE OR NOT TRUE?
All the ancient believes by heart the truthfulness and reality of reincarnation, even the church believes it, the Jews before and during the time of the Lord Jesus Christ believes.
The Gospel spoke about it in veiled manner. WHO DO YOU SAY I AM? Christ asked the apostles. The apostles answered, SOME SAY YOU ARE ELIJAH, SOME SAY YOU ARE ONE OF THE PROPHETS. These answer shows that the belief in COMING BACK of certain spirit/soul who died in the past is prevalent among the Jews. To the apostles, Jesus also said in strong words "JOHN WAS ELIJAH WHO IS TO COME"
In the past, beloved Ingkong thru mama SMV spoke in numerous occasions that St. Maria Virginia is the reincarnation of the blessed Virgin Mary, everyone unanimously accept and believed that. MNI also spoke many times that Papang is the reincarnation of St John the Baptist and prophet Elijah. However it may be presented or explained, the teaching about Reincarnation is accepted and pronounced by MNI.
MNI thru Mama said during one holy week before he carry the cross." Noong nabubuhay ako bilang inyong P. Hesukristo, isa kayo sa sumisigaw ipako ako sa krus ipako ako sa krus...subalit ngayon, mga anak, narito kayo, narito akong muli para sa inyo."...at other time he also spoke" Reincarnation, totoo iyon!"
But, in recent message of MNI, 2008 thru the Patriarch he spoke that reincarnation is not true. It is not true that an earthworm will become snake, snake will become other animal, then becoming monkey, then becoming man.
Now, were MNI thru Mama who said reincarnation is true is different from MNI thru the Patriarch who said reincarnation is not true?
There is significant teaching and truth in that two pronouncements. True that man as an image of God does not start from bacteria to insect to animal then becoming man. This is false. Man started as man not an evolution from lower form of specie. The spirit of man will only inhabit the body of man and not of animal or insect. It is by virtue of his dignity as image of God.
Reincarnation is invariably connected with Karma. Karma is nonsense if reincarnation is thrown out of the door. One can only understand and appreciate the greatness of God's design in the government of the world when this pair of wings is use to understand God's mercy and justice.
God is all merciful and all justice. Reincarnation and karma perfectly explains that. Reincarnation gives hope to man, to better his life, to understand and appreciate the goodness of God. The lovingness of a great Father Mother in heaven.
For if the SOUL IS REALLY VALUABLE to GOD than all the consolidated wealth and glory of the earth when a single soul converted all the hosts of heaven are happy, then how can you resolve that a soul of man, who lived on earth with many things not under his control or understanding was thrown to the eternal damnation without the chance of improving himself.
Does a sin within a single lifetime deserves from a merciful and just God an eternity of fire and punishment, punishment without end, day and night he will scream for pain. And do you know how long is eternity?
