#John the Baptist reincarnation of Elijah?

Swastika is Cycle of the FOUR AGES. These are explained in a NUTSHELL. The Swastika is the Cycle of the FOUR AGES. These are explained in a NUTSHELL. Satt, Traeta, Doapar, Kalyug. https://youtu.be/W7GnmJGGh60 SWASTIKA:- Four legs of Dharma – Four religious qualities – one “salt of the family”, your tribe is the base. This is in a nutshell. They are:- 1.  Kal Yug – Dark Age – One leg of the dharma:- Sharm, Salt of family, Heya – Hajj for boys aged 12 to 16 years to establish the covenant with their tribes – the foundation of faith – say “Islama”. People of south India had Sharm of family in which the tribal identity is explicit in the name of the boy; his first name, father’s name, name of the village and surname = “Hond” in Punjabi. Thus, a Hindu is one who knows his Hond, Jaati and Baasi. So, they had the Sharm and Saint Thomas came to deliver the Gospel Truth = Oral Torah = His Word = Taproot of the tree of life, the Scriptures. no baptism of the water was needed. A Jew is not the tribal self but religious or spiritual inwardly. So, John, the Baptist, Prophet Elijah, my god is “Yahweh”, Brahma, Khudah, etc., the creator of male and female, the pots for the “soul” of our Supernatural Father Elohim, Allah, Parbrahm, etc. was needed. John never baptised a woman, Gentile or a Samaritan, the tribal people of salt. Just the baptism of the Holy Spirit = Eucharist = entering into the Bridal Chamber to be the Virgin Brides of Christ Jesus, the First “Anointed” Satguru of Kalyug was given. Bhagats and Saints are also Christs = Satgurus. Jealous Brahmins killed him that they are still efficient keeping them of the “salt”. Hypocrisy is in full bloom – maximum. BEST OF ALL AGES TO EARN “HIS TREASURES” BY EXPOSING THE HYPOCRITES. THE VERY SON OF ELOHIM CHRIST APPEARS TO CLEAR THE THRESHING FLOOR – MATT 3.12. 2. Doapar (two legs) Yug:- Truth seen with two natural eyes called Sach in Punjabi as demonstrated by Saint Peter whom the key of the kingdom of heaven that used to be with the Rabbis was given. Peter used to be very fit man but on receiving the “Holy Spirit”, he became “disabled” – thus crucified upside down. Truth is the “Foundation” of the “Gospel Truth”. The Royal Brahmins became less efficient. Political Prophet Lord Krishna called “NEETI PARSHOTUM AVTAR appeared to guide the Brahmins in the political affairs. His favourite name was “GoBinda”, political authority – HAR HAR MAHADEV.   3. Traeta (three) Yug:- Contentment called Sabbar, Santokh, etc. in which people are happy with their Mammon-orientated jobs – Haq Hallal. The element of greed enters and the people fight for their territories. First Prophets Sri Ram Chander and Moses introducing the law, the “Seed of Hypocrisy” was sown leading to the kingdom of heaven under “works” KARMA that counted for the next birth called reincarnation – KARMI AAWAE KAPRRA – UNDER “DHARM RAI”. To keep “Mercy” alive Yugs, free meals for the poor were promoted. Great stress was laid to keep tribal people united. Thus, Moses promoted “Eros” and there was no infighting among the sons of Abraham or tha snake, rift, was lifted up. Those who wanted to be FREE of Law, they took to wilderness as the naked Sadhus are today. Moral Laws are the “Seed of Hypocrisy” much misused and exploited by the spiritually dead Rabbis in the Dark Age. They killed Jesus, the First Spiritual Doctor. 4. Satt (All Four Legs) Yug of Bhagats, the family men highly devoted to Elohim, Allah, Parbrahm, etc.:- Mercy called DAYA, RAEHIM is the chief quality of God Elohim, Allah, Parbrahm, etc. “Agape” dominates the society – Samaritans, the “Merciful Fold” of Christ Jesus that the “greedy saltless” Jews outwardly much hated and killed their redeemer Christ Jesus. Everyone is a Bhagat and this is called “Beginning” – Matt 19.4. They are all solitary but of One Accord as the Labourers of Christ Jesus, the Apostles were.

i feel like naraka is definitely a bit better like yeah there karmic punishment and there like a gajillion levels of naraka for some reason that are super niche but then like after you spend your time there you get reincarnated not a bad deal if you ask me 5/10

i am a christian but i personally believe hell is like a place where demons are but its not a place humans are sent to i mean we know gehenna was a real place and that any mention of hell in the bible was in reference to gehenna i like to believe worst case scenario after death is limbo like its cold youre alone things suck and maybe that in and of itself is its own kind of hell ig but then if you can find your way out bingo bango

7/10

christianity also hinges on the belief of reincarnation because you can only really believe jesus was the son of god if you believe elijah was reincarnated as john the baptist

my most antitheist opinion is that hell is like. a cartoonishly evil thing to believe in and insanely abusive to teach children about

Did Jesus Believe in Reincarnation? The Surprising Truth

The question of whether or not Jesus believed in reincarnation has been a topic of debate for centuries. While some argue that there is evidence to support the idea that Jesus did believe in reincarnation, others assert that this is simply not the case.

One of the most commonly cited arguments in support of the idea that Jesus believed in reincarnation is the fact that he refers to John the Baptist as the reincarnation of Elijah in the Gospel of Matthew. This passage, found in Matthew 11:14, reads: "And if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come."

However, some scholars have pointed out that this passage may not necessarily be evidence of Jesus' belief in reincarnation. Rather, it could simply be a reference to the Jewish belief that Elijah would return before the coming of the Messiah. In this interpretation, Jesus is simply acknowledging that John the Baptist is fulfilling this prophecy.

Another piece of evidence that some have used to argue that Jesus believed in reincarnation is his statement in John 9:2, where he asks his disciples, "Who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" This statement has been interpreted by some to imply that Jesus believed in the idea of karma, or the idea that one's actions in a past life can have an effect on one's current life.

However, this interpretation has also been challenged. Some argue that Jesus was simply using a common belief of the time to make a rhetorical point about the nature of sin and suffering.

Ultimately, the question of whether or not Jesus believed in reincarnation may never be fully answered. While there are certainly passages in the Bible that could be interpreted as evidence of this belief, there are also alternative explanations for these passages. As with many religious questions, the answer may depend largely on one's interpretation of the available evidence.

Regardless of where one falls on this issue, however, it is clear that the question of Jesus' beliefs continues to be a fascinating and thought-provoking topic for scholars and laypeople alike. As we continue to explore this question, we may gain new insights into the life and teachings of one of history's most influential figures.

I am not Jesus

It is written in the gospel that John the Baptist was prophecised to be Elijah the prophet.

But it is also written that during the transfiguration of Jesus met Moses and Elijah as they appeared before his two disciples.

John the Baptist was a vessel for Elijah for he was not reincarnated. John the Baptist had an Elijah the prophet's computer program software installed on his hardware.

I am Tariq Degraffinreed I have royal blood and DNA in my veins. I am a vessel for the good archangels and I have traces of serpent DNA. I have the computer program of Jesus Christ installed on my hardware.

I am not the messiah but I have not come to deceive the people, I have come to warn the people. The sun shall turn black as sackcloth on the day of Jesus return.

For it is written that the son of man was crucified and the sun turned to black for 3 hours while he hung on the tree.

Just like how Jesus died during a solar eclipse 2000 years ago, Jesus shall Return during the next solar eclipse that takes place on a passover holiday.

The Reincarnation Of The Violent Prophets

If reincarnation exists, who was Jesus in a previous life. Paramahansa Yogananda writes about this in his second coming of Christ, claiming his belief that Jesus has previously been Elisha and Elijah had been John the Baptist. If this is true a study of Elijah and Elisha in the bible tells a shocking story of violence in the name of God? Elisha kills forty four kids after they curse him for his bald head, Elijah slaughters 450 priests of Baal after they submit wholly to him after being attacked by fire. Why were these prophets so violent in the bible killing thousands and declaring genocide on certain peoples simply because they opposed Israel. How important are our past lives and what can we make of the what it says about these prophets in the bible. How do we reconcile this violence with the god of love we hear about in so many spiritual teachings. Lets discuss the Reincarnation Of The Violent Prophets.

Salvador Dalí, the iconic artist of Surrealism, created a series of works titled "Biblia Sacra" between 1964 and 1969. This suite explored themes from the Bible, showcasing Dalí's unique blend of dreamlike imagery and religious iconography.

One particular work within the Biblia Sacra suite is "He Himself Was Elijah" (1967). This piece depicts John the Baptist, a pivotal figure who prepared the way for Jesus Christ. Here's a breakdown of what we know about the work:

Subject: John the Baptist. The title references a verse from the Gospel of Matthew where Jesus identifies John as the reincarnation of the prophet Elijah.

Style: Classic Dalí Surrealism. Expect dreamlike elements and a departure from realistic portrayal.

Medium: Most likely a colored lithograph, a common printmaking technique Dalí employed.

Context: Part of a larger series, Biblia Sacra. This hints at a deeper exploration of religious themes by the artist.

Understanding the work further:

John the Baptist's portrayal: Descriptions suggest a menacing figure against a dark background. This might reflect John's role as a herald of judgement before the coming of the Messiah.

Dalí's interpretation: It's interesting to consider how Dalí, known for his eccentric personality, approached a religious subject. Did he see a rebellious spirit in John the Baptist?

"He Himself Was Elijah" is a specific piece within a larger project by Dalí. To fully appreciate it, you might want to explore the entire Biblia Sacra suite. This would give you a broader context of Dalí's artistic interpretation of the Bible.

FOOTPRINTS OF THE ANUNNAKI?

The ever- changing knowledge of our past and our inherent inquisitive nature are continuing to shatter the boundaries we have so glibly set up around ourselves over many centuries of blind prejudices.

Most of this blog has been taken from parts of my book “FOOTPRINTS in STARDUST – SOULPRINTS in TIME”, where I outline some very interesting and soul-searching explanations, and give you their sources; so you can do your own research.

But, before we go any further, we need to open our minds to the unexpected, uncomfortable and unconventional sources. Do not paint the unknown with that worn out, cop-out phrase – “That’s the work of Satan”; that’s exactly what old Nick would like everyone to do. Remember that is what they said of Galileo and his work...

Have you ever considered the questions below? They are questions that the ‘experts’ would like us to ignore. The answers make us think, and give us a greater appreciation of life and our place in the cosmos.

1 - ARE WE REALLY GODS? as scriptures tell us?

St Augustine (354-430) held Plato in such high esteem, that he writes

in his Contra Academicos – “The message of Plato, the purest and most luminous of all philosophy, has at last scattered the darkness of error, and now shines forth mainly in Plotinus, a Platonist so like his master that one would think they lived together, or rather – since so long a period of time separate them – that Plato was born again in Plotinus.”

Like Elijah was born again as John the Baptist; dare we ask?

In The Descent of the Soul, Plotinus was most articulate when he expressed: “Thus the soul, though of divine origin, having proceeded from the regions on high, becomes merged in the dark receptacle of the body, and being naturally a post-diluvial 'god', it descends hither through a certain voluntary inclination…...”

Strange, he mentions the soul as being a “postdiluvial god”. Keep this in mind when reading about the Anunnaki ‘gods’, and their genetic carryings on in “The Lost Book of Enki” by Zecharia Sitchin.

I have said: You are gods

and all of you

the sons of the most High.

PSALMS 81:6

Jesus reminds us through John - 10: 34.

Jesus answered them:

“Is it not written in your law:

I said you are gods?”

If our souls, the real us, are parts of our heavenly Father, then indeed we are part of the same Creator of All – GOD HIMSELF! Just like the Anunnaki 'gods' were.

2 - ARE THE ANCIENTS STILL LIVING AMONG US?

The records of Edgar Cayce’s ‘readings’ held at the Association for Research and Enlightenment in Virginia Beach contain some fascinating stories, but none as fascinating as the accounts of ancient ‘gods’ living among us as ordinary people.

There have been many books written about this aspect of Cayce’s work. “The Egyptian Heritage”, by Mark Lehner, and A Million Years to the Promised Land, by Robert Krajenke are among my favorites.

If the belief in reincarnation is not your cup of tea, don’t let it come in the way. Just keep reading, and experience the weird, circumstantial (if that) evidence that dribbles through, and appears to defy explanation….

Around 11,000BC, Egypt experienced a large influx of Atlanteans, who were escaping the catastrophic demise of their continent – you can read about this in Edgar Cayce on Atlantis, by Edgar Evans Cayce. Egypt was one of the destinations of choice for the immigrants from this highly advanced civilization. Also from Atlantis, came Hermes; an accomplished scientist and mathematician. Possibly the same one the Greeks called a ‘god’. In Egypt he was known as Thoth, also a ‘god’.

Among the many people that Edgar Cayce gave ‘readings’ for – in the 1930’s – 40’s) were: Hermes (Thoth) and RA, along with other scientists and engineers from Atlantis, (including the fabled AJAX and ATLAS) who worked together to design, and build the Great Pyramid.

Edgar Cayce’s readings suggest that though these beings may have been called gods in ancient times, they actually possess souls like you and me, and like you and me, have to pay their karmic dues (Mat.5:18 - For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled.) before they can enter our Father’s mansions. Let’s keep in mind, that this was long before the arrival of Jesus, Original Sin was still being accounted for etc... etc. - and, Jesus’ Church had not yet been instituted.

We are all, even the "gods" of old, from the same Father; are ONE COSMIC FAMILY. And, my dear friends, THE "gods" may STILL WALK AMONG MEN!

Reincarnation in Gnosticism, Let the Gnostics Be Gnostic, by James Bean

Reincarnation in Gnosticism (According to Gnostics)

Reincarnation in Pistis Sophia:

Of the incarnation of John the Baptizer… That John was Elias in a former birth: “And when I knew that ye had not understood that I had discoursed with you concerning the soul of Elias which is bound into John the Baptizer, I answered you in the discourse in openness face to face: ‘If ye like to accept John the Baptizer: he is Elias, of whom I have said that he will come.’” http://gnosis.org/library/pistis-sophia/ps011.htm

Reincarnation in the Secret Book of John (Apocryphon of John):

“When they come forth from the body, such a soul is given over to the powers created by the rulers, bound in chains, and cast into prison again. Around and around it goes until it manages to become free from forgetfulness through knowledge. And so, eventually, it becomes perfect and is saved.’” http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/apocjn-davies.html

Reincarnation in the Book of Thomas the Contender:

“In it the Saviour tells his disciple Thomas that after death those who were once believers but have remained attached to things of ‘transitory beauty’ will be consumed ‘in their concern about life’ and ‘will be brought back to the visible realm.’[1] At the end of the Book of Thomas, Jesus says: ‘Watch and pray that you may not be born in the flesh, but that you may leave the bitter bondage of this life.’[2] In other words, pray that you are not reborn on earth but that you return to higher realms.”

[1] Book of Thomas 4:7, 18, 17, in Marvin W. Meyer, trans., The Secret Teachings of Jesus: Four Gnostic Gospels (1984; reprint, New York: Random house, Vintage Books, 1986), pp. 44, 45 [2] Book of Thomas 9:5, in Meyer, The Secret Teachings of Jesus, p. 50

— See, “Christian Reincarnation”, and it includes Gnostic sources on reincarnation: https://reluctant-messenger.com/origen10.html

Reincarnation According to Basilides of Alexandria:

"Men suffer from their deeds in former lives". (Basilides of Alexandria)

Note: Though the classic Gnostics of antiquity believed that reincarnation was a reality (like Pythagoreanism, Platonism, and Kabbalah), but their goal was to be liberated from it and return back the true spiritual realm (Pleroma, Fullness).

Pistis Sophia, that same Gnostic text describing the fall of Sophia, is expounding upon an already established understanding that was articulated in the New Testament about John the Baptist being Elijah, Matthew 11:14. Of course John is described as having exited the womb same as everybody else …in other words, an example of re-incarnation (as opposed to resurrection or beaming down from above). As for Thomas the Spiritual Athlete and The Apocryphon of John, these are straight out of the Nag Hammadi Library. The Secret Book of John is considered to be one of greatest of Gnostic texts with multiple copies of it being discovered, an indication of popularity and wide usage, and most definitely essential reading for those curious about the real gnostics of antiquity. The Apocryphon of John includes reincarnation. That’s not surprising really given the obvious influences upon gnosticism such as Platonism and especially the teachings of Pythagoras (who believed in reincarnation).

My approach with this topic is coming from a different place and a different time. Mystics may have a sense of their own past lives as something real. Others have beliefs absent any perception, inner revelation or insight. Countless are the belief systems. Reincarnation is not my passion. After all, the goal of Gnosticism and the Enlightened is to not remain on the Wheel of Transmigration anyway. The goal is to NOT do it, not reincarnate. Empirically objectively proving reincarnation scientifically, or the existence of the soul for that matter, is still in its infancy however. I have high hopes for both, but it may be a long wait. One might have to… wait for it… *reincarnate* a few more times before that ‘quantum spirit-scope’ gets invented and someone can start taking measurements. My take is simply to see clearly something far less subtle than the activities of souls in other realms or the beyond. It is to let the gnostics be gnostic, treating them equally like any other world religion and understand just what exactly the original spiritual movements labeled “Gnostic” actually taught based on what they themselves have to say about that, and not what other esoteric groups coming into being many centuries or millennia later assume they taught cooking in their own particular theological and cultural cauldron of biases in Europe or the US.

The Saga of the Gnostics

Athanasius forbids the reading of their scriptures. Constantine and his allies attempt to eliminate them from the planet. Gleeful bishops in Egypt engaged in Gnostic cleansing driving gnostics out of villages. Irenaeus slanders them for centuries to come, kicking at the dust of their bones. Most forget about them, which is quite poetic in this world of forgetfulness. Others usurp, impersonate, and redefine what they call gnostic, the ultimate indignity. I wouldn’t be surprised if Samael* Weor published an alleged gnostic cookbook with meat recipes in it! (The various gnostic groups of antiquity were vegetarians.)

* Misspelling intentional;

“…And with this sword so-called ‘heresy’ was painfully cut from the Christian body. Gnosticism, which had perhaps already passed its prime, was eradicated, its remaining teachers murdered or driven into exile, and its sacred books destroyed. All that remained for scholars seeking to understand Gnosticism in later centuries were the denunciations and fragments preserved in the patristic heresiologies — or so it seem, until until a day in 1945…” (James M. Robinson, The Nag Hammadi Library in English) That's when the Gnostic Gospels were discovered.

“Gnostic” is Such an Abused Word — Let the Gnostics Define Their Own Beliefs

So, as I view the saga of the gnostics, the treatment of the true classic gnostics of antiquity, the only solution is to let the gnostics be gnostic, truly hear their voice embedded in the surviving texts that come directly from them, and allow them to speak for themselves, define their own beliefs, diet, and spiritual practices. Then others may benefit from their wisdom, and in that sense Gnosticism as a spiritual path can potentially reincarnate into the world again, or far more likely, help some to recognize those who already seem to be following something equivalent to a Living Gnosis Now in the modern age.

Anyone Know What Or Who This Flying Light Being Is?

Anyone Know What Or Who This Flying Light Being Is?  Looked Pretty Real. Was Floating Around on Telegram.

See video. Pretty dramatic. The Lighting in Coordination with the Sun and Clouds Makes it Look Pretty Real. We Are Supposed to See More in the "Spirit Realm" or Higher Dimensional Beings Going Forward, Including Angels and Other Created Beings ("Aliens")

- There are TONS of different space ship pics and videos floating out there online.  Telegram channels are a good place to find a bunch. - Don't forget, we have a Space Force.  Now how did we go from rockets to flying saucers, TRB3's., portal opening ability and travel in seemingly a couple decades?  We didn't.  We had a "Secret Space Force" for many decades prior, a faction with good guy aliens and another faction with bad guy aliens.   - So the concept here is that we fell from Eden.  Eden was simply in a higher dimension.  We fell to a lower grade dimension called 3D earth where there's a lot of ugliness and evil.   The spiritual cosmic guys have been saying for a while that there is to be an ascension of Earth.  But they also say that those who took the "Mark of the Beast" 1.0 shot will stay in a lower dimension while others will ascend into "5D", as fits with the Book of Revelation.  - As mentioned in Matthew 25, there is a separation of sheep and goats.  Sheep are good. Goats are not good.  (So stop slandering sheep those of you out there who use "sheep" as an insult - sheep are smart, the only follow their master's voice; you using sheep as an insult have the wrong animal).  What's the dividing line?  As many spiritual types, cosmic types and cosmic Christians says, the dividing line is:  those who are in service to others vs. those who are in service to self.  It is said that if you are 51% in service to others and didn't take the Mark of the Beast, then you will ascend to 5D, or the good place as mentioned in Revelation.  - Other Bible scholars who actually study the original words and the original Paleo before it was corrupted my "modern Hebrew" and the Jesuits and whomever else,  at least as reported, say that the Lake of Fire, the 2nd Death is having to go through many cycles of death, dying over and over again, being reincarnated (you know, like Elijah to John the Baptist) for another 26,000 year cycle or some amount of years like that) so you learn the lessons in your spirit to choose good and not evil.  So death and hell are thrown into the Lake of Fire.  The Lake of Fire then would be considered more inline with the concept of "tried by fire", experiencing all sorts of intense and dramatic things periodically to make a deep impression learning lesson on your spirit, so eventually you'll choose good and choose God.  Jesus came to break us out of this cycle and save us from having to go through another 26,000 year or however long that cycle was.   These concepts do have good logic to them as opposed to going to hell to be tortured and slaughtered forever and ever because you were not spiritually mature enough, or just too spiritually young.   It will be interesting to see more information about all these topics as the rest of the 777 books of the Bible are released.  Read the full article

Who Do Men Say That I, the Son of Man, Am?

When Jesus asked His disciples this question, they were quick to respond: “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets” (Matthew 16:14). They had just come from galilee where crowds had flocked by the thousands to see and hear Jesus of Nazareth. The disciples had listened to the views of the people, collected their own polling data, and found that popular opinion about Jesus was divided. Things haven’t changed much. Two thousand years later people still do not agree on who Jesus is. Consider some of the opinions then and now. In Jesus’ day, some folks thought that the spirit of John the Baptist—the recently beheaded prophet and Jesus’ cousin—had entered Jesus. After all, both men preached the message of repentance. Other people said that Jesus was a reincarnated Elijah, and the Jews regarded Elijah as among the greatest of the prophets and teachers. In fact, to this day people have an empty chair at every Jewish Seder meal in honor of Elijah. Still others thought Jesus was the weeping prophet, Jeremiah. And then there were those who said He was just another in a long line, just another “one of the prophets” (v. 14). Ask your Islamic friends who Jesus is, and they will say He was a prophet. So even today one of the greatest challenges believers face is how people answer the question Jesus asked in Matthew 16:13. What men say tends to carry more weight than what God says. Most often the opinions of anyone and everyone are more highly respected than the convictions of believers in Jesus Christ. The proof of this is all around us. Pick up a newspaper and you will find an “Opinion Section.” I’ve always thought how wonderful it would be to read a “Conviction Section.” But we live in a world that is much more attuned to what men say about anything and everything than to what God says about how to live life. Television talk shows lead the ratings in today’s media-crazed, celebrity-obsessed world, further evidence that we care more about what so-called celebrities and experts think than about what our Creator, our Almighty, our Sovereign God says. This preoccupation with what men think and say—and the disregard for what God says—always results in two things: pluralistic compromise and political correctness. Pluralistic Compromise A pluralist believes that all human beings are en route to the same place, but we are just taking different roads to get there. Muslims take one road, Jews choose another, Buddhists go on a third road, Mormons have their own road, and we born-again believers follow the road we believe the Bible out-lines for us. In other words, popular opinion argues that we can choose from among a plurality of ways to get to heaven. Understandably, pluralism characterizes a society that is more interested in what men say than in what God says. In an effort to reach those listening to men, some mainline Christian groups have taken their theological remote controls and pushed the mute button when it comes to such topics as the wrath of God, His judgment, the sole authority of Scripture, and the exclusivity of the gospel message. Ironically—and parenthetically—one seldom ever finds these same individuals challenging other religions about their exclusive claims. Pluralistic compromise results when what men say matters more than what God says. Political Correctness Another result of today’s obsession with the opinions of men and women is political correctness. To be politically correct in our current culture, one must adhere to inclusivism. This view holds that God’s salvation applies even to men and women who have not explicitly believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. Inclusivism argues that since Jesus died on the cross for all people, everyone is included in atonement for sin accomplished by His crucifixion and resurrection. Again, whether your personal faith is in Christ alone is irrelevant. In Acts 16:30, a Philippian jailer asked Paul, “What must I do to be saved?” Had the apostle been an inclusivist, he might have answered, “Relax! You’re already saved. Everyone goes to heaven.” But Paul’s reply was pointed and exclusive: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved” (v. 31). Why should we, as followers of Christ, be concerned about pluralism and inclusivism? Because these perspectives—these value systems—can dramatically impact the perceptions and practice of our Christian faith. Pluralism runs absolutely counter to our doctrine, to what we believe, to the Bible’s message that Jesus is “the way” (John 14:6, emphasis added). If we believe that everyone is going to heaven, and that people simply travel on different roads to get there, then what do we do with the doctrine of the virgin birth, of Jesus’ sinlessness and His role as Lamb of God, of the fundamental teaching that we are saved by God’s grace through the faith we place in Him (Ephesians 2:8)? On the other hand, inclusivism affects our duty; how we behave and our mission as God’s people. If we in fact believe that everyone is going to heaven, then we in the church no longer need to work on evangelism and missions. The church then loses its sense of urgency and passion to reach a lost world with the saving news of Jesus’ victory over sin and death. Again, we are living in a world today that is far more interested in what people say and do than in what God says and commands. Aware of this, Jesus moved beyond His question of public consensus to the real heart of the matter. In His next breath He asked His disciples this question of personal conviction: “who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15, emphasis added). And that’s the question we’ll look at next. Q & A: “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” The answer is the same today as it was when Jesus uttered these words: there is no consensus. What God says is most important; the truth He proclaims will matter throughout eternity. Man’s opinions fade into insignificance next to God’s infallible and eternal word. Peter had the right answer to Jesus’ very important question, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” Peter responded, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16). Have you joined Peter and made this great confession?

Greedy Temple Priests became Lepers in the next birth that ONLY Christ c... Greedy Temple Priests became Lepers in the next birth that ONLY Christ could forgive and not John, the Baptist. That is why Elisha did not cure any leper but the Syrian General Nama. https://youtu.be/DHrYPAT3gl8 Still, the cured and forgiven "Saltless" Lepers joined their crook "Saltless" Temple Priests and not Jesus as the faithful son of Abraham and Yahweh of "Salt" returned back to thank Christ Jesus but not the other 9 "Saltless" Lepers. So, you can well imagine what type of people the generations of the 11 Patriarch sons of Jacob wanted to kill the truth-speaking "Salt" of Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham faithful to Yahweh "Joseph", who was highly honoured by the ever-faithful sons of Ishmael, the Gentiles for hospitality as expected of their forefather Abraham, an ideal Adam, Sarah Eve and Yahweh gave them the Promised Land as the Garden of Eden. So, the Chosen People are the demonstration nation called a nation of Priests and through them, we learn our moral laws.   WHY THE ANGELS DELIVERED THE GOOD NEWS OF THE BIRTH OF JESUS TO THE “ILLITERATE SHEPHERDS” AND NOT TO THE UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS OF THEOLOGY, THE HUSBANDMEN OF THE WINEPRESS THAT COINED THE MORAL LAWS TO FLEECE THE PEOPLE. In general, you will find that the village people speak the truth and they keep God within their hearts whilst the town people do just the opposite; they tell lies to sell their products and keep Mammon in their hearts in which they fleece the simpletons by hook or by crook. In short, the village people worship God within them whilst the town clever people worship Mammon and drink the blood money of their innocent child-like village people. Jerusalem used to be the Holiest of the Holy Place in the world and the rich people used to be the pilgrims. As the people in Jerusalem became greedy and hypocrites, the Rabbis used to fleece them to the very bones under one excuse or the other as the two Disciples of Elisha fleeced Nama of Syria of his costly presents that Prophet Elisha refused to accept that he is not greedy like the Rabbis. John, the Baptist was like Prophet Elisha putting on camel skin. These greedy Rabbis put on silken clothes like the present Priests in the Russian Churches with beautiful robes today. In Jerusalem, there was a spiritual Brother in Elohim called Saint James, the Just and such fleeced Pilgrims used to seek His help to retrieve money from the greedy Rabbi by begging him to return. He used to kneel and his knees developed hard skin. So, the Temple Priests were not happy with giving back the money, and by treacherous plan, they managed to get him killed. Such greedy Rabbis in their next birth suffered from “Leprosy” that the Rabbis could not cure but only God in the form of Christ, the Very Son of God, could. That is why Jesus cured the lepers and not John, the Baptist, Prophet Elijah, my god is the creator “Yahweh, Brahma, Khudah, etc.” So, that is why the God-orientated village people appreciated the Message of Christ Jesus whilst the Jerusalem people in general were Mammon-orientated and hated the “Light” of Christ Jesus so no miracle Country Israel belongs to the sons of Isaac of the Semitic race and not to Aryans or Negroes. Jew is a spiritual self and Synagogues belong to the Jews and not the country. https://youtu.be/B2niOOhZe5k Messianic Jews are the Killer Temple Priests in the Black Sheep Judas Iscariot's clothing, the Dog-Collars. https://youtu.be/N0SFfH0w_do Easter Playlist:- https://studio.youtube.com/playlist/PL0C8AFaJhsWylziOpNWyWaLauSjMOeudK/edit Taste of Easter:- Reincarnation through works under Yahweh, Dharm Rai whilst Resurrection by Grace of Elohim. https://youtu.be/x3BD1z0Buq0 Allah is NOOR and you cannot apply Sharia Laws that bind you on NOOR that sets you FREE.

(graphic made by myself using canva.com. graphic contains rearranged lyrics from Talking Heads song “Once in a Lifetime”: Letting the days go by, let the waters hold me down, letting the days go by water flowing underground, into the blue again, after the money’s gone, once in a lifetime water flowing underground, and you may ask yourself, am I right? am I wrong? and you may find yourself in another part of the world.)

How to define myself?

I’m a single mother of a child in middle school. I’m a recent divorcee (2017) out of an originally “standard” marriage, that turned into a polyamorous one with another woman. The whole thing didn’t so much fall apart as explode. The cracks had been forming since probably a few months after things went poly, but there had been fractures in the actual marriage before then. My ex chose the other woman rather than repairing our own relationship; but really if we had remained together and separated from the other woman there would have had to be a lot of work in order for us to be able to be in the marriage, not only was trust shattered but there are many things I have realized since that were borderline and completely abusive, given the manipulative, selfish, narcissist that the ex is.

I had joked before that we were already in a poly-amorous relationship because I have multiple personalities but that wasn’t enough for him.

I was raised Protestant (Church of England), in Europe, and in my childhood discovered a belief in reincarnation, which the youth pastor said was okay because Jesus recognized John the Baptist as a reincarnation of the prophet Elijah. In my teenage years just before we emigrated I discovered paganism and explored many variations of that throughout most of my high school and college life while really being sort of Agnostic in the sense that I knew there was Something Out There but I wasn’t sure what it was. Part of this was because inside my head various personalities had different views of the Divine, ranging from Asatru through Catholic to more Universalist (God has many faces and appears in different forms to different faiths but is the same overall entity).

Now, I find myselves returning, almost, to the faith I was born into. I found a friendly, modern, accepting Baptist church, one that isn’t so much fire and brimstone as it is find ways to improve yourself while exploring your faith, and rely on your faith and knowledge of God’s ways to walk your path in life and find healing.

I imagine I’m not the only one who has returned to Christianity, or the only one who is recovering from multiple traumas and abuse; but hopefully some will find insight, help or relatable things here.

Best wishes to any who read this essay.

I’m sure there will be more essays to come.

Is Reincarnation in the Bible

The first thing that should be considered when approaching the question "is reincarnation in the Bible", should be the story of Elijah the Prophet and John the Baptist. Jesus is quoted in the scriptures several times explaining to his apostles that John the Baptist is in fact the reincarnation of Elijah.

These are just a few:

“For all the prophets and the law have prophesied until John. And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who was to come.” (Matthew 11:13-14)

“And the disciples asked him, saying, ‘Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?’

“But he answered them and said, ‘Elijah indeed is to come and will restore all things. But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. So also shall the Son of Man suffer at their hand.’

“Then the disciples understood that he had spoken of John the Baptist.” (Matthew 17:10-13

He clearly declared that Elijah had been born again as a new person. John was the reincarnation of Elijah the Prophet.

Here we have several scriptures, in which, support the idea of karmic debt and reincarnation:

“All who take the sword will perish by the sword.” (Matthew 26:52)

“If anyone slays with the sword, with the sword must he be slain.” (Revelation 13:10)

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A person reaps what he sows.” (Galatians 6:7)

“Life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.” (Exodus 21:24-25)

“Again, it [the kingdom of heaven] will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his property to them. To one he gave five talents of money, to another two talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability.” (Matthew 25:14-15)

In the Book of Revelation there is a verse that only makes sense if reincarnation is a fact:

“Look he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him.” (Revelation 1:7)

“I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.” (Matthew 24:34)

More than a Prophet

Matthew 11:7–15 “For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John, and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come” (vv. 13–14).

Given John the Baptist’s earlier declarations about Jesus, his doubts about the Lord’s identity raised in Matthew 11:1–6 could have led many to question the consistency of his ministry. How could they not doubt his steadfastness and teaching since he has gone from exalting Jesus (3:13–17; John 3:22–36) to inquiring if He is truly the Christ? Alternatively, how could they trust in Jesus as the Messiah if the beloved John the Baptist had doubts about Him?

Jesus addresses these thoughts with His own questions. When swayed by the wind, the long reeds beside the Jordan River are visual metaphors of those who teach according to the whims of men. Christ’s inquiry about the reed intends to ask if John is one to change his message with the blowing of the wind (Matt. 11:7). He expects the people to answer that John was a faithful preacher. Similarly, Christ’s question about soft clothing (v. 8) reminds them that they sought John, a prophet who like Elijah wears camel’s hair (2 Kings 1:8), not fine linen. Jesus is saying that John is a prophet whose words must be embraced.

However, John is not only like Elijah, he is Elijah. In verses 9–10, Christ says John the Baptist fulfills Malachi 3:1, which looks for a special messenger to come before the Day of the Lord. This messenger is Elijah (Mal. 4:5–6), and in going before Jesus, John is revealed as the fulfillment of Malachi’s prophecy. Of course, John is not Elijah reincarnated. Just as the prophets refer to the coming Messiah as David (Jer. 30:9) because David is the prototypical king, so too does Malachi say the Messiah’s forerunner is Elijah since Elijah is the exemplary prophet. But Jesus is not literally David, nor is John the Baptist literally Elijah.

John is indeed great, but the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater still (Matt. 11:11). Here Jesus contrasts John’s place in redemptive history with that of the new covenant believer. John saw Jesus, but he died before the Lord’s death and resurrection. After His resurrection, we understand the work of Christ more clearly. Moreover, even today we experience new covenant benefits — like immediate access to God’s presence (Heb. 10:19–22) and the indwelling Spirit (Rom. 8:9) more powerfully than John did when he walked the earth.

CORAM DEO: LIVING BEFORE THE FACE OF GOD

John Calvin says the new covenant minister’s preaching is greater than John the Baptist’s because “it holds out Christ as having rendered complete and eternal satisfaction by his one sacrifice, as the conqueror of death and the Lord of life, and because it withdraws the veil, and elevates believers to the heavenly sanctuary.” John the Baptist was blessed, but we are more greatly favored to live in an era more cognizant of God’s grace in Christ.

A Minister`s Thoughts on Meditation

I locate the worry and loathing of all things 'Eastern' within the Christian Church to be as utterly fascinating as it is unknowing as well as oblivious. This is specifically true of the principle of meditation.

As a blessed Presbyterian minister who has actually pastored churches throughout the Midwest, I am intrigued by the level of false information folks have actually expanded up with about the mystic elements of our Church as well as our faith. We have actually expanded apart and also, in some aspects, terrified of those traits mystical.

In Bible Research, I have some enjoyable with my parishioners and inquire regarding their sensations on reincarnation. They are normally pretty nonjudgmental people, and often across the board they resign such beliefs to Hindu or Buddhist adherents. I ask them if they assume it can ever be a part of the Christian practices, and it's generally an unquestionable, 'No.' I after that aim them to Mark 8: 27-28. Below, Jesus is having a conversation with his disciples soon after they have actually observed him doing several wonders. I am pricing quote the New International Version translation:

Jesus and also his adherents took place to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. En route he asked, 'Who do the individuals say that I am?' They replied 'Some state you are John the Baptist,, others say Elijah,, as well as still others, among the prophets.'

At this factor I stop them and also ask to observe what has actually just happened in this discussion. The devotees have offered to Jesus the very concept of a dead person returning to life through a person else. And note that Jesus did not subsequent this concept with any sort of rebuke or condemnation. Currently, while one can not and ought to not attract any kind of verdicts from this exchange, it reveals that Jesus, a guy who was increased in the Middle East and also for that reason affected by both Eastern and also Western approaches and spiritualities, was not a complete stranger to these points that a lot of people in the Western globe consider 'Eastern' in approach, religion, as well as spirituality.

Over the centuries, the Christian Church has actually shed touch with many points spiritual as well as Eastern. We've shed touch with those traits metaphysical, if you will, as well as come to be dependent virtually completely upon those traits physical. As well as we're all the poorer for it. Over the past Thirty Years we have lost touch with the silent, contemplative reflections of worship and exchanged them for three-piece bands as well as rock tunes concealing themselves as hymns of praise. Many modern-day worship expressions give little to no time at all for quiet petition and reflection, no time for quiet contemplative prayer.

We live in a world that is so hectic, so hurried, so loud, so loaded with unrelenting noise and also disturbance, that we have actually shed touch with quietness, tranquility, and reflection. I would deem we have actually even surrendered preferring the quiet, serene, uninterrupted times in our day, we've become unpleasant with it, discover it doesn't fit with the assumption of our culture that to be effective, whether it be at job, residence, or school, we have to be hectic until completion of the day when we simply crash in a heap, exhausted from the day's chasing this and that, merely also worn out to spend any kind of time at all in peaceful meditation.

Why is this so important?

Scripture provides us a number of occurrences where reflection and tranquility are important to the individual of faith.

' Be still and also understand that I am God.' -Psalms 46:10

' ... as well as on His legislation he practices meditation day and also night.' -Psalms 1:2

' Meditate upon these things, provide thyself completely to them, that thy profiting could show up to all.' -Timothy 4:18

I could continue, however my intent is not to provide an extensive discussion on the visibility of meditation in Scripture. Nevertheless, I wish to concentrate on a passage in 1 Kings 19: 1-13. The wonderful prophet Elijah has simply had a battle with the false prophets of Baal. Elijah dared the prophets to place their sacrifices on the altar then invoke their gods to consume the sacrifices with fire. Of course, their gods couldn't do it. Elijah after that prepared his sacrifice on the altar and also hoped to God that then sent out down a flame to consume the sacrifice. When Queen Jezebel became aware of this she transformed into furious with Elijah and also swore to kill him. Elijah, not surprisingly terrified, began competing his life. In his running as well as panic, he maintained really hoping that God would intervene on his behalf to give him the answers he needed. One is advised of the old expression: 'When at risk, when unsure, run in circles, yell as well as yell.'

He finally found some safety and security in a cavern where he was able to collect yourself and also this is where we get the tale in Bible, verse 9:

And the word of the Lord came to him, 'Exactly what are you doing right here, Elijah?' He replied, 'I have actually been really zealous for the Lord God Almighty. The Israelites have actually denied your covenant, broken down your churches, as well as put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the just one left, as well as now they are aiming to eliminate me too.' The Lord claimed, 'Go out and base on the hill in the existence of the Lord, for the Lord will go by.' A terrific and also powerful wind tore the hills apart and shattered the rocks prior to the Lord, yet the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was a quake, however the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, however the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle murmur. When Elijah heard it, he drew his cape over his face and headed out and stood at the mouth of the cavern. After that a voice said to him, 'Just what are you doing here, Elijah?'

You see, it had not been until Elijah had gotten to that point of silent, it wasn't till he had the ability to end up being completely conscious, which can happen only when we are silently in meditation, that he was able to familiarize the presence of God and hear His still, small, voice, or God's murmur as the NIV places it.

It is in our silent moments of thoughtful reflection that we are most ideal able to 'listen to' the visibility of the divine. I certainly have my minutes in life when I am not exactly sure what to do or where to go, or when the answers I seek aren't in place. I have times when I fear, when I run scared, and also when my response is to playing around in circles. Also often I spend excessive energy and time running in circles screaming as well as shouting.

One of the best truths of life is the type of understanding I need that comes when I am peaceful as well as still inside, when I permit that still tiny voice to touch within me the spark of the Divine. And this is so in contrast to life since it implies that there should be no talking inside, as well as we are a speaking people. This indicates no busyness taking place within, and also we are a busy individuals. And this implies no stress inside as well as we are an individuals who live consistently with pressure. This indicates for us that we take our problems and also our worries and we take our cares and our requirements and also we prepared them aside for just a moment and also we allow ourselves total quietness of body and mind so we could familiarize the living presence of God, as well as because minute of awareness, God can reach us.

The greatest discipline that I can have in my life is that technique for achieving that moment of silence as well as stillness within. In that moment I become mindful of the existence of God, and also in that minute God talks with me and touches me. That murmur, that still tiny voice, is still a murmur. As well as it always will be, as well as unless I locate that moment of tranquility in my life, I could not listen to that whisper.
