What is reincarnation?

born without limbs or has a dysfunctional body in some other way. Someone who has high intellect is not equal to someone with low grade intelligence. That does not mean to say that someone with less abilities, either physically or mentally should not be given equal opportunities, for naturally they should, and every effort should be made to assist them. But to pretend that two widely irreconcilable individuals can achieve the same things amounts to an unrealistic approach. The obvious differences amongst people will either help or hinder their progress in this life. We should all have equal opportunities as far as our genuine abilities will carry us, but we will not all achieve equally due to the vast differences in our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual make-up. This is an inescapable fact. So can there be any justice in this world if we only get to have one very precarious chance at life on Earth? Is God justified in arbitrarily throwing us into this world with a pot-luck life of His choosing?




Apart from all of the overwhelming evidence for reincarnation (please do some research, for there is extensive evidence for it found in books, DVD's etc) for those of us who take the view that God exists, reincarnation is the only substantiation for a loving God who wants to give us more than one opportunity for experience of life in this world. Who can get things right here in just one lifetime? It would be exceedingly unreasonable to expect anyone to come to Earth in a less than perfect body, perhaps with an impaired mind and in dire circumstances, with all the odds stacked heavily against you for any reasonable likelihood of success or achievement in any field whatsoever, and to emerge from it as a fully rounded-out being. It would surely take countless lifetimes for that; lifetimes of making mistakes, assimilating what one has learned, doing it better next time, finishing off old work where one has left off, coming back and accomplishing, or fouling up once more and then trying again. On such a scale of reckoning, if for example, scientists and inventors were only allowed one mistake in their various experiments we would still be in the Stone Age. If we therefore assert that a loving Divinity exists, we surely cannot be expected to try out this school of life only once? If reincarnation were not true, God would be a fiend, and the worst kind of fiend at that, randomly casting the dice either against us or for us without our meriting the result whichever way
