Today, topics are reincarnation, resurrection, and spiritual confusion. The solution of Jesus Christ dying on the cross and his resurrection from death addresses a broad range of existential problems that include the recovery of divine Creation from the operations of sin, the justification and glorification of created beings and living creatures as well as the altering of their spirit makeup and substance rather than merely their image and form. A fighter at “Yahoo! Answers” using the ID “I identify as a Helicopter” (Level 6 with 15,836 points, a member since December 02, 2014) posted the following:
Why doesn't Christianity believe in reincarnation, but preaches that Jesus will have a "second coming?" Isn't that reincarnation?
Nothing about Christianity makes any sense...
Update: Or is it a special case that can only be made possible by God Magic?
Update 2: @Blue Face Anon: If you read and actually understand what the Bible is saying, Jesus is a SPIRIT, not a specific living human, so, given the fact that Jesus (spirit) was first placed into a body, when he died, he (his spirit) went back up to heaven (magical spirit world), and his "Second Coming" would be a REINCARNATION, since his "First Coming" was an INCARNATION. Do you understand now, or is this not sinking in, because you already have preconceived notions about this event?
Update 3: If you worship the human body that Jesus was placed into, then, that would be IDOLATRY, which is contradictory to your own religion.
So, now that we have established the hypocrisy of Christian teachings, we can see that what you all believe is not correct.
Update 4: @Blue Face Anon: So, you believe that Jesus is a human, rather than a spirit, and he initially existed in human form? Where in the Bible does it say that?
THE GOLDEN ARROW: For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 5: 17-21, KJV)

“I identify as a Helicopter”, you are not a fool, and you are capable of understanding both reincarnation and resurrection. Operations impossible for humans to perform have been carried out by the Spirit of GOD. Every sound belief system acknowledges only a specific set of interrelated principles and tenets, and totally rejects other ideas as “contradictory” and “incompatible”. Mature Christian believers regard the meanings and values shared through the doctrines of resurrection and the ministry of Jesus Christ as very different from those among believers in reincarnation. The focus for Christians is the character, nature, operation, purposes, and substance of divinity revealed through sacred events, objects put forth by GOD, and the active presence of Deity. Christians seek a personal relationship with divinity as sons and daughters of GOD. Thus, teachings are included on adoption, aging, birth, Creation, death, Incarnation, maturation, continuing relationships, resurrection for Judgment as well as the transformation of mankind to exist as an immortal, incorruptible companion of GOD. By contrast the focus for reincarnation can be understood as the recurring appearance and duration of living creatures described as a cycle and mechanical process. As an abstract and impersonal routine, reincarnation is not ascribed to a divine person who exercises authority, intention, and will. Even so, systems teaching reincarnation usually include hierarchy and movement through multiple levels that are “better” or “higher” in quality of being. Where one attains the highest level, they repeat the cycles of death and life no more. To the extent, the Creator is denied and rejected, reincarnation will eventually appear to Christians as blasphemy and disbelief; yet, many are drawn to and fascinated by reincarnation as an excellent set of intellectual ideas. Consider again the following that uses the language of the Bible:
(1.) Romans 6: 3-9, King James Version (KJV): 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
(2.) 1st Corinthians 15: 51-57, KJV: 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
There is far more to be said, correctly applied, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, (3.) Romans 8: 5-9, KJV: 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
