REINCARNATION: HEAVEN AND HELL

Reincarnation does not negate a true understanding of the Bible's teachings concerning Heaven and Hell.

Given the God of Love that we perceive in Jesus Christ, Hell cannot be an eternal destiny awaiting individuals who have failed to receive Him.

Because God is Love, He will not cease reaching out for the lost children, the lost sheep of His fold (Luke 15:3-7). God's plan for the fullness of time is to bring all of reality into the Body of Christ Love (Ephesians 1:10).

Heaven and Hell are both experienced in intensity and degree to the extent that we come closer to or fall further away from the Spirit of Divine Love in the salvific reincarnation process of resurrection to full and true life!

When has an individual had sufficient opportunity to be saved and lived long enough to be judged? What is just and fair about some persons having the opportunity of many years while others have but a few? What of those who die in infancy or during childhood? What of those who suffer severe disabilities and other hardships? (ETC.)

Only something like a Christian understanding of reincarnation can give us a portrait of reality entirely consistent with the God of Love that we see in Jesus Christ!

REINCARNATION: THE QUESTION OF RESURRECTION

Complete resurrection from death to life is accomplished only in Jesus, who alone possesses the fullness of Life. We participate in His total victory through our faithful releasement into His Spirit of Divine Love.

Resurrection is the process in which we are being made increasingly alive by the power of His Spirit.
It is the salvific process of the Body of Christ in which we are being raised from death to true life in Him.

Reincarnation is the way of the resurrection process.

Yet, this does not negate true personal identity. For, the spirit of each individual is eternal, the very breath of God (Genesis 2:7). As Paul declares, the body of resurrection is a spiritual body (1 Cor. 15:44).

The concept of reincarnation does not necessitate an essential soul-body dualism in which the spirit is good and the body is evil. In a true Christian understanding of reincarnation consistent with Divine Love, the aim is not escape from a body perceived as evil, but the transfiguration of our total being into Christlikeness.

The spiritual and physical are not antithetical, but integral aspects of reality. Neither does the immortality of incarnated souls and the mortality of their co-ordinate physical expressions necessarily imply such.

REINCARNATION: THE QUESTION OF GRACE

Salvation is the process of sanctification by the Spirit (2 Thess. 2:13) in which we are being changed into the likeness of the Lord "from one degree of glory to another" (2 Cor. 3:18).

Salvation is certainly a matter of God's ever-flowing grace and not something that can be ours through the exercise of our own power (Ephesians 2:8). Yet, faithful acceptance of God's grace does not rule out the necessity for works (James 2:17).

The false antithesis between grace and works is resolved with the realization that the works evident in the lives of those who are being sanctified in the salvation process are the works of the Spirit. For, every good thing is an act of God (Matthew 19:17).

Thus, reincarnation need not be viewed as a karmic process of self-righteousness, but as a process of salvation in which the Spirit of Christ brings us to His bossom through our faithful acceptance of His graceful efforts!

An understanding of reincarnation that is grounded in the Christ Revelation that God is Love is not inconsistent with a true Christian understanding of Divine Grace.

Karmic consequence is not the result of self-works. But, it functions with regard to our receptivity of God's enabling Spirit. Grace is fundamentally necessary for there to be salvation, but, grace must be freely received. It must be acknowledged and accepted.

Free Will and Grace are the two poles of the salvific process!

REINCARNATION: THE QUESTION OF HERESY

Is reincarnation a viable Christian option, or is it antithetical to the Revelation of God in Jesus Christ?

To begin with, Scripture itself does not exhaust Truth, because Jesus Christ IS the Truth (John 14:16). If we want to understand the true nature of God, and therefore Life, we must look to Jesus (1 John 5:20). We are called to follow the guidance of the Lord's Spirit as it endeavors to lead us "into all the Truth" (John 16:13).

When we cast our eyes upon Jesus, we see that God is Love (1 John 4:16). Christ Love is True God and True Life (1 John 5:20). Reincarnation need only prove consistent with the image of God that we see in the person of Jesus Christ in order to be seen as a viable expression of our Faith.

True Heresy, therefore, is not so much an extra-canonical belief as it is the refusal to allow the Spirit of Christ to lead us into the fullness of Truth, into new understandings of reality entirely consistent with the Revelation of Jesus Christ that God is Love!

Heresy is the act of closing ourselves off from the shepherding guidance of the Spirit of Truth.

It is a false, antichrist presupposition that the Holy Spirit has nothing more of consequence to say to us. Paul warns us of the very grave dangers in quenching the Spirit of Truth (1 Thess. 5:19).

THE QUESTION OF KNOWING


Knowledge as True Understanding is rooted and grounded in Ultimate Reality (God) as Divine Love.

Thus, in Christ (Love) is Truth and in Antichrist (anti-love) is all manner of falsehood, delusion, confusion and perversity.

There is no true knowledge possible outside of the Holy Circle of Divine Love!

Only through the lens of Divine Love can we truly see and understand the essential dynamic structure of reality!


God is Love; whosoever abides in Love abides in God, and God abides in that person (1 John 4:16)

THE QUESTION OF FAITH


What is real faith? It is not simply believing in the reality of an historical event: that something existed, exists or will exist somewhere in Space-Time.

True faith in Jesus Christ as True God and True Life is the result of a dynamic correlation between the historical event of Jesus' resurrection and our personal experience of Jesus' resurrection power alive in us!

What is disclosed to us is the divine nature and power of Love. Real Faith arises from and is grounded in Love.

Thus it is proclaimed: whosoever abides in Love abides in God, and God abides in that person (1 John 4:16).

Our faith in Divine Love as Ultimate Reality and True Life is based on the Earth-historical event of Jesus' resurrection from the dead.

Here, Love Incarnate overcomes all evil and its consequence, death. Thus, it proves to be the divine power of Life itself!

However, such a faith can only be justified for us if the power of this same event is experienced in our own lives.

In order for faith to be other than empty hope, the miraculous resurrecting, healing and transfiguring power of Divine Love must become our personal experience.

This ongoing correlation between historical affirmation and experiential confirmation is absolutely necessary on the journey to Truth!

What is confirmed is the wholeness that is by divine grace realized in us as we continue to release ourselves to the Spirit of Divine Love.

In this unity of the Spirit of Christ, we discover that we are constituent parts of the universal body of existence whose fundamental, fulfilling essence is Compassion!


God is Love; whosoever abides in Love abides in God, and God abides in that person (1 John 4:16)

THE QUESTION OF TRUTH


What is Truth? It is Ultimate Reality, God and Life, fully uncovered and disclosed to our understanding.

Science assumes that mere human reason and our limited sense-abilities are adequate to grasp the Truth of the Real.

But, since we as sentient beings are completely interwoven constituents expressive of the matrix of reality, it would seem that the pathway to unraveling the mysteries of the essence of the Real must lie deep within us.

And, furthermore, the true meaning of what we are and what indeed actualizes and fulfills our essence as finite beings must lie there as well.

The old adage, "know thyself", is surely the key.

If we have the courage of heart to stay the course and honestly make such an internal voyage of discovery, we will find that our human reason, logic and senses are but limited though necessary tools on the journey into the Abyss of the Ultimate Real, and that we must begin to pay heed to a most ancient and holy inner voice at the very core of our being crying out for universal healing and wholeness.

We will discover that the key to understanding Ultimate Reality is buried at the heart of each one of us.

If we are willing to awaken to the Real, to gain eyes to see and ears to listen, we shall become bathed in the light of true understanding.

We shall become enlightened and therefore whole (Holy).

Indeed, we shall clearly begin to understand the intrinsic oneness of Ultimate Truth (Divine Love) and the Holy (Wholeness)!


God is Love; whosoever abides in Love abides in God, and God abides in that person (1 John 4:16)

THE QUESTION OF QUESTIONING


Questioning is an essential aspect of existence. To be is to question.

To be is to question on all levels of consciousness and on all levels of awareness of oneself and one's environment.

To be a finite entity is to have an innate, intentional will to exist; to enduringly express oneself within the constraints of one's relative contexual environment, and, thus, to inquiringly poll those very constraints and facets of one's existence.

As such, we must recognize that this questioning essence belongs to all creatures, from the sub-atomic to the macro-cosmic levels of existence.

For all things finite, to exist means to question one's reality and to seek life-sustaining and life-enhancing answers as to what it means to exist.

All human religious expressions and philosophical speculations are founded on this innate drive to know the source and substance of life. These endeavors are an attempt to uncover the divine ground or primordial essence from which all life flows.

Proper questioning invokes the disclosure of true life and ultimate reality as that which is at the very core of our being, and which itself is ever seeking to reveal itself to us.

Proper questioning invokes the disclosure that God, Ultimate Reality, is itself seeking to shepherd us into asking those vital questions that will reveal the Logos of its Truth!

Proper questioning is grounded in our personal experience of the power of that which is revealed in the person of Jesus Christ and justified by His resurrection from death, that True God and True Life is Divine Love (1 John 5:20)!


God is Love; whosoever abides in Love abides in God, and God abides in that person (1 John 4:16)

TRUE INDIVIDUAL ACTUALIZATION


Speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into Him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every joint with which it is supplied, when each part is working properly, makes bodily growth and builds itself in Love! (Ephesians 4:15-16)

Because God is Love, and, therefore, our True Self is Love, we must express Love in order to have Life!

LOVE ALONE can actualize us, individually and collectively, as human beings!

Everthing else is a LIE, a DECEPTION and an ILLUSION!

Everything else as Antichrist grows through all of Creation's turning away from Love.

Antichrist thrives to the extent that Creation continues to choose false freedom over Love, that which alone can give us the true freedom of Life!

And, in so choosing, Creation will find itself continually alienated from True Self as it is from True Life!

That is, until Creation, in part and as a whole, decides to journey home on the Path of Divine Love!

THE TRUE SELF

YOU ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND INDIVIDUALLY MEMBERS OF IT!
(1 Corinthians 2:27)

The True Body of Christ is our True Self!

We are all original members of the True Body of Christ, and are individually parts of this Eternal Body of Divine Love!

Because God IS Love, we are all created as finite beings with the requisite free will to give and receive Love.

The Divine Life is fulfilled in the ever-flowing, mutually empowering freedom of the Communion of Love!

With Free Will, however, comes the possibility of Finite Reality turning away from Divine Love as the path of Life.

Thus, has the Fall of Creation tragically occurred!

When we release to Jesus Christ in TRUTH, we are releasing to the Spirit of CHRIST LOVE!

We are releasing to the Spirit of Divine Love so that it may shepherd us back to our True Self as finite members of the primordial and eternal Body of Christ!

This is the meaning of Jesus' parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32). We are all the Prodigal Children of God!

All of the beings of fallen, finite existence are the Prodigal Children of God tragically needing to come home to their True Self, to the True Life of Divine Love!

Whosoever releases to the Spirit of Divine Love, releases to the Spirit of JESUS CHRIST and is one with Him! (1 John 4:16)
