Yes, that’s also a very Hindu belief. Christians and Abrahamic religions in general have the belief that there are false gods and a true god. That’s why they have to proselytize and convert people. I don’t think most Christians believe in reincarnation or that their God is the same as God in Hindu Dharma. To the OP: Here’s what is said in the Bhagavad Gita BG 4.8 paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśhāya cha duṣhkṛitām dharma-sansthāpanārthāya sambhavāmi yuge yuge “To protect the righteous, to annihilate the wicked, and to reestablish the principles of dharma I appear on this earth, age after age.” This is why we have the 10 avatars and why we have certain established ‘holy’ people that have attained enlightenment while here on earth that continue to teach the dharma. |
This eye in the sky always makes me think that truly we are beings in the universe missing something obvious. You look into a persons eyes and see so much about them — and technically it is all upside down and depictions of light that our brain projects into images. There is a delay, and we only use a small portion of the human brain. So much here that is exciting to me. |
I’m a Christian that believes in reincarnation, karmic debt, and the possibility that faith can remove your debt. Jesus reincarnated and I think the soul can enter earth several times over so many years. I once did a reading and it said my soul was formerly part of Atlantis, the city undersea. |
PP here — do you mind explaining more about avatars? My child watches The Legenda of Korra where there is an avatar trained to bend light/wind/earth/fire. Is it like that? |

God shows himself all the time.
When Trump got elected. When your football team wins. A beautiful pair of mammary glands in a sports-themed calendar. Every time a white law-enforcement officer brutalizes an African-American child. |
No, thought the concepts of avatar, chakra, words like Bhumi, Naga, things like the third eye, the sun temple and sun warriors and such from shows like Avatar and Legend of Korra are all very influenced from Hinduism. In Sanskrit, avatar means to 'descend. It is when Brahman (The higher power which we do not believe has any form, known as God) takes a form and descends to earth when needed. The 10 forms pretty much follow an evolutionary view of the world. Scattered in between the 10 Avatars are enlightened teachers. |

I don’t believe in any kind of god whatsoever, there was a time before I was born and a time after I die... sure, death and any unknown is scary but so are many things.
That being said, I love this joke. A fellow was stuck on his rooftop in a flood. He was praying to God for help. Soon a man in a rowboat came by and the fellow shouted to the man on the roof, "Jump in, I can save you." The stranded fellow shouted back, "No, it's OK, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me." So the rowboat went on. Then a motorboat came by. "The fellow in the motorboat shouted, "Jump in, I can save you." To this the stranded man said, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith." So the motorboat went on. Then a helicopter came by and the pilot shouted down, "Grab this rope and I will lift you to safety." To this the stranded man again replied, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith." So the helicopter reluctantly flew away. Soon the water rose above the rooftop and the man drowned. He went to Heaven. He finally got his chance to discuss this whole situation with God, at which point he exclaimed, "I had faith in you but you didn't save me, you let me drown. I don't understand why!" To this God replied, "I sent you a rowboat and a motorboat and a helicopter, what more did you expect?" |
Yeah -- a lot of readings say that. It makes people feel important. |
No, No -- God was sleeping those times. Or maybe weeping. |
| If you love something you set it free, even if it pains you to watch it suffering. |

I saw God today I've been to church I've read the book I know He's here But I don't look Near as often as I should Yeah, I know I should His fingerprints are everywhere I just look down to stop and stare Open my eyes and then I swear I saw God today |

As it is written, "The heavens declare the glory of God."
It is self-evident from the creation God exists. Spiders "just so happen" to have spinnerets, "just so happen" to have oiled foot glands to prevent them getting stuck in their own web, "just so happen" to know how to spin a web, even in the dark without using the eyes. Birds "just so happen" to know how to build a nest, "just so happen" to know to sit on eggs until they hatch and feed the baby birds. Your veins "just so happen" to connect to your heart and lungs for blood to carry oxygen and nutrients, you have bones that "just so happen" to support your weight. The eye "just so happens" to have an optical cord connected to the brain. How many "just so happens..." does it take for the rational mind to conclude that it did not "just so happen"? |
Rational minds conclude that it "just so happens" because of evolution. |
Yes, Evolution, that magic wand explaining everything. https://crev.info/2021/03/evolution-as-a-magic-wand/ Evolutionists are fooling themselves and the public by believing in magical powers of their favorite tool, natural selection, which they wave as a magic wand to solve every problem in biology https://crev.info/2021/04/darwinists-are-contortionists/ |
Definitely weeping, never sleeping. |
