Reincarnation: scam?

-- King James
John 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is
old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

The Bible answers NO!

Reincarnation has its foundation built on the fact that we all have a supernatural "soul" that can survive death of the body. Christendom
refers to it as an "immortal soul". And most of the churches teach it.
But the Bible says a soul CAN die:

-- King James
Ezekiel 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father,
so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall
die.

The Bible uses the word "soul" in at least 4 different ways:

--Things in the oceans are "souls" (Gen 1:20; Darby)
--Humans ARE "souls". (Gen 2:7)
--Soul can mean LIFE. (Gen 35:18)
--Soul can mean Your FUTURE LIFE. (Mt 10:28)

So when a man dies, what happens to the "soul"? Since the man IS a
soul, a soul dies.

And at death, the person ceases to temporarily exist. Jesus and Paul
call dead people as "sleeping". (John 11:11,14)

-- King James
Psalms 146:4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in
that very day his thoughts perish.

Thus a dead person has no thoughts anymore. Try to think without
thoughts!

Thus, such things show reincarnation to be bogus. But there is more.
The Internet in places have been reporting that small children have
been claiming they remember past lives and name things that they have
no way of knowing. Is the Bible wrong?

God's word does not die. (John 17:17) So how can people give real true
facts about past lives they claimed to have lived?

Note this historical fact:

-- New King James
Revelation 12:9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of
old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was
cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Notice Satan "deceives the whole world". They were certainly around
when the pyramids were built. So they try to perpetuate reincarnation
to prove God wrong. That's their whole purpose. There are apparently
thousands of cases. So the demons have been busy reproaching God.

One 4 year old boy said he used to live in ancient Egypt. Egyptian
officials questioned him. They asked how the pyramids were built. When
they were dragging large blocks, someone was ahead of them, wetting
the sand with water, which made it slide easier.

He also said a large ramp was built INSIDE the pyramid to drag the
blocks upon. He also showed them where a hidden chamber was behind a
wall where they put their construction equipment such as copper
chisels, squares, etc.
They found those things right where the little boy said.

But we have to be careful believing things that are said. Remember,
Satan is the father of the lie. So we take it with a grain of salt.
Thus reincarnation IS a scam.
