“Reincarnatoin”

How much difference is there between reincarnation and the hope held out in the Bible?

Reincarnation

Let me share with you an interesting comparison and answer that I have found. First, let me define reincarnation. Reincarnation is a belief that one is reborn in one or more successive existences which may be human or animal. Usually it is an intangible “soul” that is believe to be reborn in another body.

According to this belief, when a person dies, the soul will passes on to a better existence if the individual has lived a good and proper life, but possibly to existence as an animal if his record has been more bad than good. Each rebirth is believed to bring the individual back in to the same system of things where he will suffer an eventual death. The cycle of rebirth are viewed as virtually endless. Is such a future really that awaits you? Some believe that the only way of escape is by extinguishing all desire for things pleasing to the senses. To what do they escape? To what some describe as unconscious life.

Bible

According to the Bible, the “soul” is the complete person. Even though a person may have done bad things in the past if he repents and change his ways, Jehovah God will forgive him (psalm 103:12, 13). When a person dies, nothing survives. Death is like a deep dreamless sleep. There will be a resurrection of the dead. This is not a reincarnation but a bringing back to life of the same personality (Acts 24:15). For most people, the resurrection will be to life on earth. It will take place after God brings the present wicked system to its end. Sickness, suffering, even the necessity to die will become things of the past. (Daniel 2:44; Revelation 21:3, 4).

The Role of Wisdom in Good Communication

The Bible tells Christians to b “swift about hearing” and “slow about listening.” (James 1:19) This is effective and good advice when one is dealing with children of any age. Hearing and listening is very important and effective in dealing with adolescents.

This may require great effort but you have to expand your communication skills when your children became teenagers. You have to reason with them, talk things through, and let them use their own thinking abilities to resolve matters. In short, as good parents you need to reach their heart. Listening is especially vital when there is a conflict. Resolved the conflict by sitting down with your sons or daughters and listen to them carefully. And you can see that being “swift about hearing” help you to discern a deeper issue.

Proverbs 18:13 states: “when anyone is replying to a matter before he hears it, that is foolishness on his part and humiliation.”

Early morning headach

I was little upset and feel bad this morning because of my aunt. I woke up 6:00 Am and took a shower. After shower, I iron my cloths and went to kitchen for early breakfast. I stop eating and lost my appetite when my aunt came from the other door with bad mood; she talked a lot and scolded everybody in the kitchen including me with out explaining the reason.

I don’t know what was wrong with her, maybe she don’t have enough sleep or she just want to scold us. But whatever the reason is, I really felt bad because she shook me and made me feel stupid going to work without having breakfast.

Technology has gone so far today, five years ago, you need to buy 3 inches floppy disk if you want to save confidential files. But now, it is possible to save any files from the computer that you want to keep confidential and bring it with you anywhere because of the this Data Traveler also known as USB

This Data Traveler is quite interesting and different, it’s smaller than your palm and it’s shorter than your fingers but it can save a two five hundred pages of books aside from songs, pictures, videos, and etc. This micro cheep is friendly user, affordable and it’s easy to carry. You can put it in your packet or hang it in your neck if you put a lace on it.

You know I bought one for me with out a doubt when I saw it in the market and it’s still working until now, in fact I have a lot of files and funny pictures on it. It’s really useful guys!

Hope for our dead love ones!!

My parents and my other relatives grieved when my grand mother died and buried last month. I saw a lot of tears falling from their eyes during the burial most especially my step grandfather. He almost drowned emotionally because of grieving and too much mourning.

I grieved too but I am happy and relieved to know about the Bible word of God tells about the hope of our dead love ones. We’re they and what are their hopes in the near future. The Bible tells us that God views the dead as just resting and sleeping. He said that he will wake and resurrect the dead in the future. “Do not marvel at this, because the hours are coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment (John 5:28,29). Jesus set a good assurance and example when he was resurrected by his beloved father Jehovah God. He was raised up from dead after resting or sleeping on his tomb for 3 days.

(1 Corinthians 15:20-22). What a refreshing promised right? Jesus resurrected some dead people when he was on earth to show that he can really resurrect the dead and fulfill his promised. It is recorded in John chapter 11:11-14 and 39-44 one account how Jesus perform miracle by raising his friend Lazaro from dead.

Reincarnation is different from what the Bible teaches and promised. The Bible doesn’t teach about reincarnation or the rebirth of ones soul in to another creature, like animals etc. or even human being.

Almost Dead

This is my nephew now after his first birthday. Actually this baby was born premature. He was 7 months old when he was born I thought he wasn’t able to make it because of his bad condition but because of God’s help he did. Right after his birth, I saw him like a helpless newborn puppy because his skin was transparent and I can even see his heart beating through his skin. Because of his condition, he stayed inside the incubator for 2 months.
His mother and grandmother called him half a million baby because they spent five hundred pesos for the incubator aside from other things. It’s amazing to see this little healthy baby fat boy running and climbing around the house now because he was so little and helpless before and now look at him, his healthy and cute isn’t he?

Time is Gold?

Because of hectic schedule and economic crisis that that we are facing today, I’d notice that many people are having a hard time to give or spent even a single minute of their precious time to praise and give thanks to god. Is this true to you? If yes, then you need to examine yourself.

Let me share with you what is written in the Bible book of Ephesians chapter five verse fifteen up to seventeen (5:15-17). “So keep strict watch that how you walk is not unwise persons, buying the opportune time for your selves because the days are wicked. On this account cease becoming unreasonable but go on perceiving what the will of Jehovah God is”.

Our busy lives place many demands on us. At times it may be a struggle for us to meet all of our obligations. Yet, we need to keep in mind that life is a gift we have received from God. So it is proper and wise then to spend time with our heavenly father sometimes in spite our hectic schedule.

How much of our time and energy does god expect us to devote to him? The Bible’s reasonable answer is encouraging. And it contains a warm invitation: “Draw close to God and he will Draw close to you” (James 4:8).
