Spiritual Discernment: Part III.
The judgment from God is coming to us all. Faith in Jesus, believing in Him, repenting of your sins, believing in the gospel and surrendering to Him will save you. Jesus is the only way.
Reincarnation is unbiblical. Reincarnation believes that anyone can be anything in many other lives after this one, that is a lie and a deception tactic by the enemy, especially when he created all these man-made religions. I know there are many people who believe in false doctrines and believe the Bible is a bunch of fairytales. People love their sin more than they would giving sin up and living their lives with repentance from their sins, confessing them and holy, obediently and righteously for Jesus, in the way that He intended us to live our lives. The Bible says that we can’t have 2 masters in Matthew 6:24, we either serve Jesus Christ or we serve Satan, claiming to love Jesus but never following His Commandments. The doctrines of the enemy are deceitful, lies and to lead people away from the worship, praise and glory of Jesus who deserves everything since He was with God the Father from the very beginning. Here are verses to help with having spiritual discernment when it comes to deceitful “Buddhist” doctrines:
“There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
“Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’ But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’
”Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’ Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’ “- Luke 16:19-31.Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. - John 14:6.
Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed,
Or the golden bowl is broken,
Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain,
Or the wheel broken at the well.
Then the dust will return to the earth as it was,
And the spirit will return to God who gave it. - Ecclesiastes 12:6-7.And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” - Matthew 25:46.
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead who hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. - John 5:24-29.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 6:23.
And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
Some to everlasting life,
Some to shame and everlasting contempt. - Daniel 12:2.And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. - Revelation 20:15.
Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?”
He answered and said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:
’This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do.”
He said to them, “All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. - Mark 7:5-9.
To be saved from the doctrine of “reincarnation”, you must confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, repent of your sins and turn away from them, believe Jesus died on the cross to pay the atonement for your sins when you confess them, surrender your whole life to God, obey Him, and follow His Commandments. Turn to Jesus Christ today, because tomorrow is never promised at all for anyone. God Bless everyone!
