yes it is possible. i sincerely hope not because the idea of reincarnation is detestable.
 Quoting: Salt


Why detestable? Because its not a Christian concept?

Couldnt it be seen as a hopeful scenario? To accumulate more wisdom about our true nature? To be given more than one opportunity to 'get it right?'

And the next obvious question would be what do you hope to happen? Resurrection?

Most people who believe in resurrection have no idea what this concept entails. It is in fact the product of Jewish Messianic theory which says that a Jewish priest-king will one day establish an earthly paradise and all the righteous jewish people who died before the establishment of "the Kingdom" will be raised from the dead to enjoy the rewards of remaining faithful to Jehovah. Since they are coming back to this earth, they need their body back i.e. they need to undergo bodily resurrection.

The problem with the Messianic theory of the soul is that it is incompatible with the God theory of the soul that talks of an immaterial heaven and immaterial soul. What possible meaning could physical resurrection have in a non-physical afterlife?

The Jehovah's Witnesses claim that 144,000 souls will enjoy an immaterial existence in heaven with God, while the rest of the Jehovah's Witnesses will have to settle for a material terrestrial paradise. This reveals the extent to which radically different views of the soul have been combined in crazy combinations.

The Jehovah's Witnesses also claim that all non Witnesses will be annihilated. How is it possible for an immortal soul to cease to exist?

show me how reincarnation is a hopeful idea. because according to the Buddha and Hindu teachings, it is a very bad thing that is almost inescapable.
 Quoting: Salt




Buddha and Hindu said you can escape from reincarnation by becoming like them which could take million of life to fulfill the good karma, good deeds, and talent. Ohh million + 60years = 60millions year to fulfill and one karma bring back to backward life for some time. good logic but funny one.

This idea was introduced when somebody asked them why i'm poor/ugly/ & how to become rich/beautiful. easy answer is that your karma of former life which you can't see but only I can see your. So trust me what I said is truth.do good thing in this life which you will become rich/beautiful in next. convincing someone to do good is great but should not lie. any way at that epoch they only know this way than doing good things will rise communities blah blah.
