Re: Reincarnation
As to, my personal posted IMO, the first subject, in this string, an origin of our soul creation before it enters this limited current spirit-flesh made designed temporary body and ?how many times it, a soul, reincarnates, if that's the right word, back into flesh by Scriptures’ Council (He 9:27- below *once) only "once"- one time through a Predestinated Prior Court Authorized Plan of a Repentant Limited (but under freewill personal choice) (good or bad) Opportunity into this spirit- flesh human body.
Heb 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. KJV
Heb 9:26-28 26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27 And as it is appointed unto men **once to die, but after this the judgment: 28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. KJV
?Did a soul exist, all God’s children, before a spirit-flesh body? IMO pesonal belief…yes!... but to each their own personal path of direct fellowship with The Holy Spirit and That Guidance.
We are IMO the same children but in a redemptive Plan under a Salvation’s Action from Emmanuel. God has much Loving Grace for His Children to ‘choice’ a redemptive change to being an eternal maturing good honest neighbor to others. And the completeness of redemptiveness doesn’t end until after the Millennium.. in the future, another Plan. and then ..all tears dried!
some Scriptures:
Jer 1:5 8 *Before I formed thee in the belly *I knew thee; and *before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. KJV
John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born *again. KJV
The word ‘again’ above, John 3:7, from the Greek also means ‘from above’: NT:509
anothen (an'-o-then); from NT:507; *from above; by analogy, from the first; by implication, *anew: KJV - from above, again, from the beginning (very first), the top.

John 3:13 And *no man hath ascended up to heaven, *but he that came *down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. KJV
The discussion in verse 13, above, was with the head leader of the ‘university’, down town Jerusalem- teaching The Old Testament… Christ ask him how come he did not already KNOW THIS of a coming down from heaven first…just like Christ, Son of man ..was also doing (He ) Christ didn’t ask the ‘children’ to do something God would also NOT DO HIMSELF…being also born into a flesh body, Emmanuel.
Heb 2:14 *Forasmuch then as the *children are partakers of flesh and blood, he *also himself *likewise *took part of the *same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; KJV
Matt 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. KJV
This is my humble very brief personal post- outlined belief and some brief locations of Scriptures to ponder, added to this string subjects.. as I also believe Scriptures are Written to Help us with Council from God… not just a learning of text…but a learning curve to life and also the Why todos of history and current todos this very day within this learning curve maturing, to be sincerely better, each small step.. a forward movement, current todoing…and with repentance..as/ when needed, lucidhunt
(using Scriptures, Text as inspiration is profitable if we use it-put 'It' in practice perhaps I digress from the subject, topic or I’m still in the secondary subject, 'sins of the father on the children'..but anyway I'll include the Scriptures below)
2 Tim 3:14-17 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 *All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. KJV
James 1:22-24 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. KJV
