do you believe in reincarnation?

if so, do you feel you'll be reincarnated?
--as a human?
--as an animal, plant, insect, or other living thing?
--as an inanimate object?

if you could choose to come back any way you wished, what form would you most like to take?

if you could return to any time period, which would you choose and why?


have at it, then! (=

Very nice. :]

I'm interested to see how people will respond to this one.

"...man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment," Hebrews 9:27
After Jesus lived a perfect life, he came back, not as a cow, but as himself, now in a glorified body.
Therefore, I believe there is no such thing as reincarnation. Disregard my ponderings in the other reincarnation topic about it being a section of Hell--if the Bible says we are destined to die ONCE, then that is what I believe.

the following statement:
'After Jesus lived a perfect life, he came back, not as a cow, but as himself, now in a glorified body,'

seems quite congruent with this definition:
re?in?car?na?tion
??/?ri?nk?r?ne???n/ -- [ree-in-kahr-ney-shuhn]
–noun
1.    the belief that the soul, upon death of the body, comes back to earth in another body or form.
2.    rebirth of the soul in a new body.
3.    a new incarnation or embodiment, as of a person.


for reincarnation to be impossible, Jesus wouldn't have (nor have been able to) come back.
theists don't call His return reincarnation; rather, the word they assign it is instead 'miracle'.  however, i could start calling a caterpillar 'snails', but it wouldn't change the definition.
