Look up the brochure, _Reincarnation Exposed: Why Resurrection Is Real and Reincarnation Isn't _ (It lists 8 points many may not know about).
I often wondered about people who remember past lives and even children. Are those demons speaking through them
Great stuff man!
❤
You are basically proving reincarnation right. The animal population increase is the reason why it is believed. I see you have deleted my comment that I made earlier explaining that.
I will say it still
The current hardships make one believe the idea that they must have done something wrong in their past life. And you say animal population has increased. This is just supporting the idea further instead of going against it. I think you thought reincarnation means reincarnating as human only. No its not like that. So yes be careful with that part next time.
And also you don't get a say in what you come back as. Imagine it's a dragonfly or something.
I would love to watch you and sam shamuon having a dialogue about Mary.
I could reject every point except the last… because God says so!
Ok easy to debunk all of that from a Hindu perspective (not sure of the other religions that talk of reincarnation).
1. A human today need not have been a human in all their lives, and need not have been on earth in all their lifetimes. There are heavenly realms and hellish realms. A human could have been a tree, or an animal, or even a Yaksha or a Gandharva – celestial beings – and I am not sure you totted them up in the last census. Also population counts often do not take into account infant deaths or still births. They were far more common in the past than they are today.
And even then, Brahman never really stops manifesting. He did not merely manifest a fixed number of souls and then went to rest awhile. So, neither an increase nor a decrease in the counts of conscious beings can disprove reincarnation.
Rather the Christian theory of resurrection is deficient in explaining the fate met by animals. Secondly, its focus on the bodies leads to challenges. Nowadays, even Xtians can opt to be cremated. Their bodies are no longer available for resurrection. If a man gets eaten by a tiger, and then portions of him excreted, which mingle in the soil, help grow vegetables that then other people eat, the body gets split all over the place. You might say that God can create brand new bodies for the souls, but then you just now argued against that point.
2.
2. Memories of the past lives are always there, deep-seated in the mind. The Garbha Upanishad of the Yajurveda, says that at one stage of foetal growth (about the seventh month or so), the jeevatma (the soul, for the lack of a better equivalent) enters the body. That is when the memories of past lifetimes are placed in the mind. The foetus knows all that it has ever been or done. When a baby is born, it starts creating new memories. Gradually, those past memories get buried deep beneath these new ones, but some have flashes of it – deja vu moments, dreams about us in different times and forms, we have all had that. Usually those who are able to recall past life identities are children, who still have not created a lot of layers of new memories. This has happened not only among Hindus but even among Christians. One can also "remember" those memories through mindfulness. No don't pay a past life regression expert a fortune to be fed lies. Learn meditation and introspect. There are learned monks who can remember now one but several past lives.
3. Justice. The Chhandogya Upanishad states that a sinful person is born in an inferior yoni. Meaning, they could be born with economic challenges or social stigma. Or even as animals or plants for really, really bad acts. The idea is similar to the Roadblock segment of The Amazing Race. You have to do a little bit extra – work harder, study harder, live stronger – to overcome your disadvantage and elevate your life. Very simple concept. Do good work, get promoted. Do bad work, get demoted.
The general consensus in the Upanishads is that the evil others do to you (rape, murder, injury) are not just (i.e righteous) actions punishing you for your past sins, but the perpetrator's moral decadence and the karma they are accruing. But those that happen to you by divine will (accidents, disease, handicap) happen as a consequence of your actions in this life and past lives.
If you don't believe that, you'd have to tell me why a Loving God made the little child of my neighbours' congenitally a patient of cancer. What sort of trial involves this suffering for a child and its parents?
Amen 🙏🏻
Amen
Also, if you come back as a snake or something how is there any chance of redemption from the previous life’s mistakes?
Why would souls return to the physical realm and a broken world? Souls are part of the spiritual realm. Demons possess physical beings. Reincarnation would be demonic.
So Dan, when will you make a video where you criticize abortion?
Like so many of the other religions, Satans lies are all over Buddhism.
The first one, more population. If reincarnation is true. Our population is 100 times not less because not only that you reincarnate but also new souls coming out.
Amen
I believe in reincarnation. John the Baptist was named John. Not Elijah. Yet Jesus said,”If you can swallow it, John is Elijah”. So John was the reincarnation of Elijah. 😂 Now im the end times there will be two prophets many believe will be Moses and Elijah. Now either God can raise Elijah and Moses from the dead….or like John…there may be two men named Dave and Frank whom has the spirit of Moses and Elijah so Dave and Frank will be reincarnation of Moses and Elijah. 😅
Well, lgbt population as well as insects population are increasing!
Um …..mind blown! Great point! ❤
i totally agree! What would you say to those who say that there are cases of children who remember their past lives
There is an ascension process, so a dolphin through many life cycles can evolve into a human. Energy does not die…it transforms, it transfers into something else.
It is the SOUL'S responsibility to perfect itself through reincarnation. This is also the reason for the population increase…new souls ascending!
If the soul refuses reincarnation, THEN that soul is sent to the fire bc it is rendered useless.
Justice is done through reincarnation! If in your past life, you were an abuser, then in the next life, YOU will be a victim of abuse. This is why we are to be blind to the judgment of people and what they do. There will be justice.
Many try to use the Bible to support their beliefs of reincarnation and its hard to bring them to understand that that's not what Jesus taught then they argue that the reincarnation was taken out of the Word of God and that many believers in the past supported reincarnation. Though we know reincarnation is false
so many strawmans in one video. youtube shorts is def not the place to disprove teachings with simple examples
I rebuke that idol in the background……………….
in Jesus name.😂
You have no real evidence that population has increased throughout the time!
Once there was a man attending a meditation retreat. He came to his teacher and said. "Last night I dreamt I was a piece of spaghetti." The teacher thought that this was really weird. The next day, the man came to his teacher and said, "Last night I dreamt I was a piece of fettuccine." The teacher said, "He's remembering his pasta lives."
If you don't believe in reincarnation in this life, don't worry you will in your next life.
I heard the above story from Ajahn Brahm
Let’s start with what you believe? You believe in a book that was written over 3000 years ago by 66 independent (unknown authors) you say they were inspired by God? Why should we believe that? Because we are told by other men that it is so? The gospels were written by a man who had never met Jesus we don’t really know who the real authors of the new Testament were only the names Matthew Mark Luke and John? But are these the disciples? If they were they would have been broadly speaking, illiterate? Based on the fact that they were not learned men. They were fisherman? Paul was the only author of the new Testament (he was a tax collector, a Roman citizen and educated) therefore everything that was written, was written by Paul, who could basically say what he liked? Paul has manipulated the new Testament to make Jesus into the son of God? Now let’s look at the death of Jesus? There are three versions of his death told from three different standpoints again these are the names of the three writers in the new Testament? Remember the three men were uneducated fisherman? Matthew Mark Luke and John?
When Jesus was on trial and stood before Pontius Pilatus his fellow prisoner was Barabbas? Barabbas‘s first name was Jesus? Barabbas in Aramaic means son of the father?
So you have two men on trial at Passover one called Jesus of Nazareth the other called Jesus son of the father? Which one is crucified?
Now reincarnation makes sense when you learn about the problems you have in this life stem from your past lives? It’s a continuing learning experience? There is no beginning and there is no end? You believe when you die, you are judged and once you are judged you go to heaven or hell?
You spend eternity in either one of these places? I think I’ve grasped what goes on in hell….. but what are you going to do for eternity…..in heaven? 😂
Oh yeah what Ryan means is the RATE of increase of the global population. It means two words… NEW SOULS.
Amen
“𝗜𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗜𝗕𝗟𝗘?
The Bible clearly teaches life after death. But the idea known as reincarnation teaches life after life…after life…after life…until one ultimately attains some state of nirvana or eternal nothingness.
It’s difficult to give a concrete definition of reincarnation since there are various models of what it really entails. The word 𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 means “rebirth in another body.” The basic thread that runs through all the definitions of this belief is the notion that after death the soul or life force passes into another body before its birth. The goal of this process is a kind of spiritual evolution.¹⁴
Reincarnation is the world view of Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs, Krishna, Bahai, and Jains.
But surprisingly, according to a Gallup poll, 25 percent of Americans say they believe in reincarnation.¹⁵ Another 20 percent were not sure if they believed in reincarnation. Even many professing Christians have no problem embracing reincarnation, believing that it can somehow be harmonized with the teachings of the Bible.
Support for reincarnation is primarily drawn from human experience—the concept of déjà vu or remembering details from a past life. Of course, this hardly serves as solid proof. Some people actually point to specific Scriptures to support reincarnation. Here are the verses they often use:
❝ “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5)
All this verse is saying is that the eternal God ordained Jeremiah to his prophetic office before he was even born.
❝ As He passed by, He saw a man blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?” (John 9:1-2)
Those who use this verse maintain that it reflects a belief by the disciples of paying off karmic debt for himself and his parents.¹⁶ 𝘐𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦, however, Jesus totally dispels any false notion that the man was paying for sins.
❝ Jesus answered, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.” (John 9:3)
In another New Testament passage, advocates of reincarnation latch onto Jesus’ words concerning John the Baptist:
❝ “And if you are willing to accept it, John himself is Elijah who was to come.” (Matthew 11:14)
Was Jesus saying that John the Baptist was Elijah reincarnated? In fact, John himself refutes such a notion. When asked flat-out if he was Elijah, John said, “I am not” (John 1:21). John came in the power and spirit of Elijah; that is, with an Elijah-like ministry. But John and Elijah were two separate persons.
The other main model of the afterlife, besides reincarnation, is resurrection. 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 literally means “restoration in our present bodies.” As you can see from the definitions themselves, reincarnation and resurrection are vastly different. Actually, they are mutually exclusive.
Reincarnation means “rebirth in another body.”
Resurrection means “restoration in our present bodies.”
Both can’t be true.
So which is right? What does the Bible say? There are at least seven biblical arguments in favor of resurrection and against reincarnation.
First, the Greek word 𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘴, which is translated “resurrection” in our English translations, occurs forty-two times in the New Testament. The verb 𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘪 (“to raise or raise up”) is used with reference to the raising of dead bodies numerous times in the New Testament, especially the “raising up” of Jesus from the dead on the third day. The word 𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 or similar words are not found in the New Testament. Resurrection is a biblical term. Reincarnation is not.
Second, the Bible teaches one death for each person. “And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). Or, as Eugene Peterson paraphrased the verse in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦, “Everyone has to die once, then face the consequences.”
Third, as we have already seen in earlier chapters, the Bible teaches that at death the soul goes immediately to either heaven or hades, not into another body (Luke 16:19-31).
Fourth, the Bible says that our hope is the “redemption of our [bodies]” (Romans 8:23), not the reincarnation of our soul into a series of bodies—one after another.
Fifth, the resurrection of Jesus is a historical fact. We know from history and the Bible that Jesus was raised from the dead. And His resurrection is the foundation for the resurrection of our bodies (1 Corinthians 15:20). Reincarnation, on the other hand, is based on human speculation, myth, and fantasy.
Sixth, the Bible teaches the 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 of our present bodies, while reincarnation teaches the 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 of souls from one body to another.¹⁷
❝ For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who will 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮 the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power He has even to subject all things to Himself. (Philippians 3:20-21)
In the Bible, the same body that dies is resurrected. And while it will be vastly different from the body we have now, there is a continuity with our present body. “So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body” (1 Corinthians 15:42-44a).
Seventh, the Bible teaches that through the atoning work of Christ on the cross, man can be forgiven of all his sins by simply trusting in Jesus and His once-for-all death and resurrection. Belief in resurrection is a key element in the saving gospel of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-3). Reincarnation teaches the concept of karma, which means that evil deeds in past lives have implications for this present life. It teaches self-salvation. Ultimate liberation, achieved by man himself, is release from the cyclical wheel of rebirth. God’s Word says that man is fallen and can only find salvation, hope, and release from sin by God’s grace and forgiveness through Jesus Christ alone (John 14:6; Ephesians 1:7).
As you can see, these two worldviews could not be more different. Reincarnation is mystical and man-centered. Resurrection is grounded in historical fact and the Scriptures and is God-centered.”

reincarnation has nothing to do with souls reincarnating
1 Reason To Debunk Your Thought Process
So Isn't Your God Cruel To Make Insects And No One Re Incarnates
And Those Insects Never Get A Human Life Just Die Out Of Misery And Pain
Shut Up Please
Your points are valid and I won't argue against them, but the book analogy is a bit wrong. Eastern relegions don't regard the book (the body) as the individual. They regard the soul as the individual, which changes bodies birth after birth. Amen 🙏
JKrishnamurti once said "The Hindus believe in reincarnation but they failed to question what is it that reincarnates".
This video is odd. What about the 2500+ documented cases? What are your reasons for those? I can think of 5 that are air tight that science currently cannot explain.
Same concept. If jesus died for sins then from where justice part comes in story? You do whatever you like, sin has been paid. So according 3rd criteria cristianity fall in same category.
