not sure it has to do with this topic, but it just occurred to me. Would ppl be more respectful, or better stewards with their life, and the things God has given them if they believed in reincarnation?
I'm not talking about coming back as a frog or a goat, but a recycle of souls if you will. And trust me the idea is repugnant for me bc it says there's no originality to the ppls of the earth over time. But anyway...
What if hell was returning to earth and starting all over again, until you learned the lessons through "ages" (or world) that God wants mankind to learn?
Man neither chooses physical life, nor does he choose spiritual life. Both are gifts from God.
