Many people are in favor of the idea of reincarnation. But if reincarnation is walked out to its logical conclusion, where does it lead? You might be surprised to find out!

The thing is there is a very good study covering 3,000 kids who have documented memories of previous lives. KIDS with memories of being adults who died and have no relationship to the kids. They knew their names, families, how they died, events that happened in their life. So how is this explained? It's actual science, and the study covered 20 years.

@edgarmorales4476 Says:
Reincarnation is not haphazard or without a consistent plan directing its action.
The purpose of reincarnation is always to provide the journeying soul with many entirely different experiences which will enlarge the soul's hidden store of worldly knowledge. It provides stimulating and necessary changes of scenery and of family and environmental personalities, of characteristics drawn from genetics, but always that thin thread of the soul's journey will be buried in the subconscious mind and will surface to influence the present incarnation, although the person may be wholly unaware of it. Therefore, it is possible for characteristics, strongly held views, or passionate ambitions to be perpetuated from one incarnation to another.
Sometimes the ambitions are formulated in one lifetime and only brought into a successful manifestation in the next lifetime under entirely different conditions. In such cases, before rebirth, a soul must wait until the world conditions will further the hidden ambitions of the soul successfully. If you can imagine a soul first plunging into a red pond and coming out dyed red and entering life as a red person with all its natural red racial tendencies, and educated in childhood to live "red" lives, you will understand that the soul leaves that life with much that is red in his consciousness.
Next he will plunge into a blue pool and he will emerge blue with all the characteristics of blueness - and the life style of blue people. When he leaves the world again, he will have accumulated facets of blue consciousness mixed with the red. And so it goes, life after life, the same soul growing through differing experiences of colors, religions, status, marriages, sexes, countries, politics, until finally, he wakes up to the fact that this is what is happening to him and he decides he is tired of all the various color combinations - he wants only to ascend into LIGHT. Then his true spiritual journey starts - and gradually, by moving into one life after another, he sheds the red, blue, yellow, green, black, brown, purple accumulated in past lives, until at last, freed of all the illusions and false concepts of past lives, his soul steps out into LIGHT and reincarnation is no longer necessary. The soul is strong, resourceful, creative - but the individuality of the soul is still inviolate and he begins to ascend into different levels of spiritual LIGHT beyond the frequencies of vibration of the world.

@Preach_the_Gospel_7788 Says:
Please consider the proof that the bible is from God, supernatural, and could not be written by man on his own. Bible writers would have to be able to see accurately into the future, hundreds and thousands of years, and very specifically foretell over 2,000 events, and never be wrong; that is impossible for man to do. Jesus (God the Son) proved his identity by fulfilling over 353 very specific prophecies, including miracles. Also, he rose from the dead from a sealed, guarded tomb and preached for 40 days after he rose from the dead.
John 3:36 (KJV), “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”
The UNMERITED FREE GIFT of Salvation is received by ANY person that Trusts in their Heart ONLY on Jesus’ (God the Son who came as God in flesh) DEATH (includes the shedding of Lord Jesus’ blood), BURIAL, and RESURRECTION for salvation, with NO faith for salvation on any type of human effort, works, or claimed positive human qualities. When a person believes only on the good news (gospel) of salvation, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV), summarized above, ONCE, God Immediately makes the believer INNOCENT, born-again (permanently spiritually SINLESS in God’s eyes regarding standing and salvation), AS IF THE BELIEVER HAS NEVER SINNED. THERE IS NOTHING A PERSON CAN DO TO QUALIFY FOR, EARN, OR RECEIVE ANY PART OF SALVATION. ONLY because of God’s mercy and GRACE, he offers every person the UNMERITED FREE GIFT of Salvation that’s received by FAITH, plus Nothing.
Trace back the origins of reincarnation, and you will see it is man made and begins at the tower of Babel.
Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) – “For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that NOT of YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God; NOT of WORKS, lest any man should boast.”
(GRACE means UNMERITED FREE GIFT. NO human effort or works can be involved in receiving or keeping salvation. We must trust ONLY on the payment for all sins that Lord Jesus made at the cross.)
Romans 11:6 (KJV), “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace....” (Trusting on ANY human effort or works means that person is not under grace, but is attempting to qualify for salvation by the law/commandment keeping/human effort, and is therefore NOT saved).
BELIEVING the Gospel, (1 Cor. 15:1-4) with NO Faith on ANY Human Effort, is the ONLY way to Receive Salvation. Notice what is NOT included (works / human effort).
Romans 4:5 (KJV), “But to him that worketh not, but BELIEVETH on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” (‘righteousness’ means God makes the believer sinless in God’s eyes concerning standing and salvation)
Acts 16:30-31(KJV) – “The Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”
Romans 3:28 (KJV), “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by FAITH without the deeds of the law.”
John 6:47 (KJV) "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that Believeth on me hath everlasting life."
Jesus is God the Son who came as God in flesh:
Titus 2:13 (KJV), “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great GOD and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” (The Rapture)
Colossians 1:15 (KJV), “Jesus is the image of the invisible GOD......"
1 Timothy 3:16 (KJV), “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: GOD was manifest in the flesh."
Isaiah 9:6 (KJV), "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
Any person that relies on any works/human effort for salvation will not be saved. Salvation CANNOT be received with faith for receiving and/or keeping salvation on ANY human effort, works, or claimed human qualities, including but not limited to: Repenting of Sins, Praying/Asking, Inviting, Water Baptism, Good works/deeds, Commandment keeping, Calling, Confessing, Turning from sins, Inviting Lord Jesus into your heart, Having a good heart, Dedicating/Surrendering/Giving your life to God, Following Jesus, Confirmation, Charity, Church attendance, or any other human effort, works, or qualities, etc., etc.
Galatians 5:4 (KJV), “Christ is become of NO EFFECT unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law (works); ye are fallen (separated) from grace (not saved).
Galatians 3:10 (KJV), “For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.” (We CAN’T keep all of the law (not sin) and are therefore condemned by the law.)
Our best righteous acts are as filthy rags:
Isaiah 64:6 (KJV), “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.”
We are ALL guilty of breaking ALL of the law: James 2:10 (KJV), “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of ALL.”
Water Baptism cannot be part of HOW a person is saved / born-again.
1 Corinthians 1:17 (KJV) – “For Christ sent me NOT to BAPTIZE, but to preach the gospel; not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of NO EFFECT.”
God makes the believer Permanently Born-Again (Sinless Standing in God’s Eyes), as if you have NEVER sinned; this is a one-time event. Notice it's NOT by Human effort:
John 3:3 (KJV), “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born-again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
John 1:12-13 (KJV), “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons (children) of God, even to them that believe on his name. Which were BORN, not of blood, NOR OF THE WILL OF THE FLESH, NOR OF THE WILL OF MAN, BUT OF GOD.”
Titus 3:5 (KJV), “NOT by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the WASHING OF REGENERATION, and renewing of the Holy Spirit.”
Eternal Security for the born-again believer is true. A born-again believer CANNOT lose salvation. Believing that a born-again person can lose salvation means we approach God for salvation with faith on HUMAN EFFORT, and that means NO salvation.
Ephesians 4:30 (KJV), “And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are SEALED unto the day of redemption.”
John 6:37 (KJV), “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I WILL NO WISE CAST OUT.”
1 Peter 1:4-5 (KJV), “To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are KEPT BY THE POWER OF GOD through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”

@msmd3295 Says:
False assumptions. For example, drawing any relationship between truth and god. That assumes what makes things true is god. It might appear to be a logical argument but it’s entirely based upon a set of assumptions that Turek cannot prove “true”. It also depends on how one defines the concept of truth. There can be “objective” truths (science demonstrates that on a routine basis) but they are virtually all a causal relationship between forms of matter. Not some causal relationship between matter and the supernatural. Plus there are no such things as “miracles”. A miracle by definition is something that occurs in nature that cannot be explained by natural law. People often claim positive or pleasing events to be miracles and they are not. Miracle is a term that is commonly co-opted to describe joyful events but joyful does not necessarily qualify as a miracle. Here’s an example of what might be viewed as a legitimate miracle. Out of the blue on some given day when people looked to the sky (day or night) to discover our spherical Moon had instantly become a cube. That would appear to violate what is known about physics and gravitation in particular. The proper use of miracle would be something that defies natural laws. As far as the possibility of miracles, encompassing the entire potential spectrum of all “possibilities” one could claim “anything is possible”. Unfortunately the odds in favor of miracles is so infinitesimally small no truly rational being would consider such a phenomenon possible. Considering the fact that there has never been a documented case in which a TRULY dead person became alive again. The physical body starts decaying shortly after all bodily functions cease. The brain for example could still be active for a period of a few minutes after the heart stops pumping blood but after that brain damage progresses and within an hour is nothing but nonfunctional cells and lost memories. For those who want to claim Jesus was not subject to the same physical laws as any other biological body because he was supernatural, spare me the insult. First you have to prove Jesus was supernatural and not just make claims about the biblical person. Logical arguments of any real relevance contain premises that can be supported with known facts. Hypothetical premises are only matters of speculation and fun entertainment.

@michaelchurchmcm Says:
Reincarnation is the excuse to not walk righteous now. A form of reincarnation actually exists in most born again churches.
When we say we cant stop sinning but God is working on us so maybe next month or next year i will be ready to stop sinning we are engaging in the same excuse to not walk righteous now. Christ ACTUALLY became sin. He was not accounted sin in the same way Abraham was accounted righteous. Abraham had an accounted righteous because he lived before redemption was provided. You and I live on THIS side of the cross. As Jesus actually became sin, actually dying spiritually we become ACTUAL righteousness. This means there is no sin generator in us anymore. Now, who ever sins does so, ultimately, because they want to. Rom 8 says we have the same life in our spirit as Jesus has in His. The same life He lived 33 and 1/2 years sin free with (before being filled with the Holy Spirit at His baptism) is now in us and we are commanded to walk in the same sinfreeness. This means you can stop all sin at the very beginning of our walk with Christ. And by all means the Holy Spirit helps us through tongues, fasting, worship, and the word but none of these things replaces the victory over sin we were given upon the entrance into Christ, namely, the born again life in our born again spirits. And people will surely say I am preaching perfectness in order to enter heaven. I am not. The life in my spirit is a covenant between the Father and Jesus and cannot be broken. But it is this very covenant of life we inherited when Jesus died and rose again which means it is fulfilled in us so we can never excuse sin away. To do that is not believe the Gospel that freed you from sin and to begin your journey out of God.

Reincarnation is actually cruelty and sadism having creatures experience rebirth and suffering as multiple creatures for no reason. AMEN 🙏👊❤️. It's awesome seeing archeological, scientific and historical evidence of stories in The Bible having occured in history. You should still as Christians love people enough to help them but also tell them The Truth. I'm glad brother Frank Turek addressed the beliefs of other religions on Cross Examined ministry. I was an atheist and agnostic from 17-19 years old until I discovered evidence of God's Existence and Christianity myself. Creation requires a Creator we human beings would call God. Atheists seem to think that God cares if we know that He exists or not obviously don't understand why the last book of The Bible is called Revelation because He finally reveals Himself to the whole world. Jesus The Christ of Nazareth (Yeshua H'Mashiac The Messiah in Hebrew) is The Son of The Living God came to save us from the Eternal consequences of our sins. This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a 23 year old Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college graduate. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " On The Origin of Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.

@Moreton2 Says:
I'd like to offer some additional information on the topic. My background is as a former Buddhist who became a Christian. So what I'd like to clarify is that the process of rebirth isn't strictly speaking the same as reincarnation. But for keeping things simple, we'll say they're the same process. Reincarnation isn't a process that requires a moral arbiter to track the morality of behaviour or to judge where the mind goes in the next life. The Buddhist view is predominantly a view of causality. And the mind (not soul), is a subtle energy which is the aspect that moves from one life to the next. This thing called mind is defined differently among the different Buddhist schools of thought, but according to the Madhyamika Prasangika it is an impermanent phenomena, which allows it to be changeable. It is this lack of inherent permanence that facilitates the changing influence of karmic imprints to direct the mind where to go after any given life. To put it briefly - the process of karmic determination is self-regulating.
One of the questions that Dr. Turek posed is certainly worth asking to those who hold reincarnation to be true - Where does the moral standard come from?
Digging into that question is likely to reveal one of three things.
1 - uncertainty;
2 - a morality that's based on fear of karmic consequences, which may still not address the question; or
3 - a morality that's based on pragmatic social benefit (eg. being kind to others increases the likelihood that they'll treat others well also.
The source of morality is a good one to dig into. Undoubtedly, there may be other responses to the question that I failed to summarise.

Why do you ask for proof of God, if you already believe there isn't one?
Why can atheism believe in a force of immeasurable power to create the universe out of nothing (such as the big bang theory), but get angry when Christianity assigns a name and title to that very same force?

For a Buddhist the answers are Karma, Dharma, Karma. Buddhists don’t believe in reincarnation we believe in Rebirth. This is because reincarnation insinuates something being carried over. Buddhist believe in anattā which means non self, that being that their is no enduring permanent self. Which pertains to one of the Buddha’s most important teachings being impermanence. Samsara which is the cycle of rebirth and death. Samsara is what we are trapped in inhabiting the 31 planes of existence some of great suffering and others of great pleasure and the many in between. The humanistic in which we inhabit being the balance of pleasure and suffering. Pleasure is suffering and suffering is suffering due to their impermanence. Through enlightenment in which we attain Nibbana we extinguish the flame of desire and escape samsara.

The hindus do believe in one God under which there are 3 other gods (one being good, one being evil and one other) and then there are the ‘manifestations’ of these gods making up all their other millions of gods. I am living in Bali and this is how I understand it. The interesting thing is I spent time with a hindu priest and not even he could explain what they actually believe in. Hinduism I classify as just ‘ritual’ there is no foundation. If you ask where they come from they say their mother.. being earth.. and their father … being something up there. They believe in karma and reincarnation but it is impossible to extract any form of logical explanation. Culture and ritual for no reason other than that it is what it is.

I’m a Christian who believes in reincarnation. I’ve been born again for 25 years and was adamantly opposed to reincarnation the whole time until this year. When I was violently opposed to reincarnation I was a traditionalist meaning I used to believe in eternal torment.
It’s virtually impossible for someone who believes in eternal torture to believe in reincarnation. So last year I became convinced that annihilationism is true and became an annihilationist. Not realizing that since eternal suffering cannot be correct and now embracing annihilationism I was actually open to listening to the universalists, who all these years I grouped together with the insanity of reincarnation.
Well, this year I became a universalist and I believe in reincarnation. I still believe in hell and that reincarnation may be a part of that refining process, whether reincarnation is the crucible’s pool of fire or maybe something that comes after. I’ve read books and listened to debates on the nature of hell and I embrace reincarnation whether it’s God sending someone back for a special mission like Elijah as John The Baptist or it’s just something people have to go through who die before believing in Christ.

I am not a believer in reincarnation, but even I can think of a simple system in which a soul gathers "weight" according to how badly it has fulfilled the purpose of its incarnation, and then automatically gets sorted after death with its "weight" dragging it down further or its "lightness" lifting it up. No deity required or desired.

This did not address the idea of reincarnation, but theistic God. Jesus Christ told us that reincarnation is real, and, of course, God is the one taking care of keeping track. But we are also told that each person lives only one life and is judged for that life. One of the breakthroughs, for me, was John 3.13, where Christ tells us of his own reincarnation as Jesus.

The Bible says that no one on this earth is good. Not one person who has ever walked this earth is good (except Jesus). In fact, “If we say we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us” (1 John 1:8 NASB). Therefore we, being bound by the Ten Commandments, have broken them. “You shall not steal”, “You shall not lie”, “You shall not covet”, and “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain” are some commandments to name. We have violated at least one of these, if not most, and consequently, we must face God’s justice: death and hell. How can we be saved from that? There is only one explanation, and that is Jesus Christ. 2,000 years ago, God was merciful enough to send His Son to suffer the wrath of God (the Bible says He became sin for us). Just before He died, He cried out, “It is finished.” That means He paid the fine so we could be free. No longer are we condemned when we trust that what God did on the cross was sufficient for our salvation, nor are there any more charges held against us for our sins. God commands that we repent (that is, confess and forsake your sins and perpetually turn from them), and trust alone in Jesus for our salvation (accept the free gift of eternal life and don’t trust that your own good works can save you from what you’re guilty of). After all, eternal life is a free gift from God and the work has already been done on the cross. All we have to do is believe and trust that He paid the full price for forgiveness of sin so that you and I could be reconciled back to God in heaven. You will then be transformed and be born again with a new heart with new desires so you love that which is righteous. Isn’t that wonderful? Act now, for tomorrow is not guaranteed. You could die tonight or in the next hour, so please, with loving consideration, please turn to God. He is willing nobody should perish but that all should come to repentance.

"3 Questions to Ask People Who Believe in Reincarnation"
This should be entertaining. Here are the questions.
1) Who is keeping track of what you are doing morally here?
Answer: they don't know, just as Christians don't know. Christians have a belief about who is keeping track but they have not presented any evidence to support their belief, which makes them the same as Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Wiccans, and members of any other religion.
2) Where does this moral standard come from?
Answer: they don't know, just as Christians don't know. Christians have a belief about where this moral standard comes from, but they have not presented any evidence to support their belief, which makes them the same as Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Wiccans, and members of any other religion.
And for Christians, this moral standard seems to be a multiple choice menu, with various sects having different moral values.
3) Who is deciding where you go in the next life?
Answer: they don't know, just as Christians don't know. Christians have a belief about who is deciding this but they have not presented any evidence to support their belief, which makes them the same as Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Wiccans, and members of any other religion.
I would like to know how Christians can believe in a loving god that would punish someone for all eternity.

Does reincarnation refer to a repeated cycle of life?
From animals to humans and from humans to animals
How about a UFO?
Are UFOS 🛸 in frequent cycles?

1) Who's keeping track of what you are morally doing here (while on earth).
2) Where does this moral standard come from.
3) Who is deciding where you go in the next life.
Response -
1) Yourself or Higher Ego.
2) Yourself or Higher Ego.
3) Yourself or Higher Ego.
The seed to every man's salvation or damnation lies within man himself.
Only the mind of man himself knows his deepest secrets hidden within his closet.
Man judges himself for all that he is worth.
Edit -
Maybe we should get something straight.
Reincarnation is the Hindu, Buddhist, and Egyptian concept of Hell.

Isn't it that jesus himself is the reincarnation of God?!

God, with limited delegated authority to his DemiGods AKA Angels, are the lawgivers n deciders of morality. we reap what we sow based on what we deserve n desire, however, karma does allow for the Grace of God to forgive us, though even the Bible explains that some people who refuse to stop some sins are unforgivable.
All the above was originally taught by the Vedas, along with ALL knowledge, including accurate predictions about how n why God would come as Buddha n avoid talking about a creator God or permanence, n how God would send Jesus, n how faulty f*minism n harm to animals n our planet would backfire, etc.
Frank obviously never considered that reincarnation maybe was in the Bible, n that there's TONS of scientific evidence for it, n he said he didn't study "Hinduism" as he calls it because, apparently, he heard only 1 atheistic branch of it....though he later contradicts himself by incorrectly saying it has BILLIONS of Gods.
Vedas are also the source of the oldest n most accurate history, all major sciences, math etc. n the amount of limited, flawed, n biased understandings of it n Christianity, n how Vedas has WAAY more evidence for it than Christianity does, is almost as astonishing as how many people are too closed minded to strive for a full, accurate, unbiased understanding of all the above.
That's why i now say if youre open minded enough to click the sub n bell icons on youtuber Playitalready for some epic, upcoming vids with better, more detailed n well sourced explanations n evidence for all the above, then do so, or never mind.

What an irrelevant answer.

What about the belief that Jesus is a humble peasant who begs at the table of true gods.
