Carnal knowledge

There is a huge HUGE misunderstanding about re incarnation. Speaking as from one of a religion that believe in it. Re-incarnation is not to punish or reward you. It's a lesson. It's to broaden your experience. It doesn't mean you deserve misfortune. It means you were willing to suffer to learn. And such souls should be honored.And we should listen to WHAT they have learnt. And we should help them because that is what WE are here to learn ...we are here to learn how to help. ALL OF US.

We are here to attain carnal experience and knowledge.

So if bad things are happening...it's not a punishment ...you are learning or not learning.

You are attaining greater spiritual values....or not ..your choice.

And if good things are happening..it's not a reward....you are here to LEARN how to help. You are here to learn how YOUR soul can help..what your helping talents are.......

Or not ..your choice.

It's also a part of Irish tradition...which survived into Irish Catholicism...

for example

Saint Brigid of Kildare (525)

In his book Round Ireland in Low Gear, Eric Newby records that at this present day among the Catholics of Ireland there is a tradition that Saint Brigid in her previous life was the one who led the Virgin Mary to the place where she was purified at Bethlehem after the birth of Jesus.

The acceptance of reincarnation is very present in Irish catholics.

And I am pagan..not catholic and i do believe in it.

But we are taught to think of the rising of the Christ as a form of re-incarnation.

And people are taught god chose his son to suffer ...to teach us. Not because his son did a bad thing.

There are two answers i would give thee. Numero uno ...bear in mind I tend to think of Jesus as the poor working class schmuck the 12 desert middle class boys got to take the rap while they made an empire on his rep.

On the other hand ...........well To teach what? Hmm...that bible is rather long...but if I would pick one thing..

Love one another as I have loved you. ??

''A new commandment ..I give to you, ...that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another''

Peace be with you *shakes hands* and now we have given each other the sign of peace ...go ..in peace.

NOW LET'S GET DRUNK AND SHAG THE NIGHT!

I believe we are here to learn about each other ...and the world ..and to love each other. That's all ..

The anthem of Jesus

That's the gist.

I was wondering how you tied in the suffering.

'And people are taught god chose his son to suffer ...to teach us.'

'And people are taught god chose his son to suffer ...to teach us.'

other christians have always been baffled about catholics putting a lot of value in suffering.. coz faith is supposed to heal, isn't it?

"...we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character and character produces hope and hope does not disappoint us." (Rom 5:1)

most suffering is the result of the actions of other people, but some suffering is simply pointless and outside the bounds of human control like natural disasters.. most if not all the evils in this world results from human action though..

catholics think that they emulate the suffering of jesus when troubles come their way..

hope can be a means of escape after all

many other bible passages support this thought:

Yeah I'm familiar with elevation of suffering in

Catholicism-- Rom. 5:3 taken out of context.

But I was asking the pagan view she was on

about.
