once you go to heaven, yes. :) here on earth, we have a feeling every now and again because our souls want to go back home. (ie, like i said earlier, you try to think about before you were born and get that weird feeling).
and also, if we were Einstein, im not sure our soul self would care as they wanted us to reincarnate for a reason. -
But your soul and your mind can't be the same, 'cause if your a serial killer your mind will think you're good but your soul will be like, Nope, we are getting reincarnated right away. And when you go to heaven wouldn't you have the mind of the life you just lived?
What if you're a terrible person but you don't actually do any terrible things, like you want to kill people a lot and other things, but you never do any of those terrible things?
Yeah, that's why I don't think about it. Also, this completely irrelevant, but the big bang makes no sense. -
correct, your mind and your set soul are two different things. :) you do not have the mind of the life you lived, because you are a new person everytime you are born, only being driven by a soul you are only aware of once you die and are sent to heaven or the left door/holding place (which i forgot to mention...kind of a place for bad people and stuff. i need to look back in the stuff i have an remember entirely what that is. i wasnt in touch with a spiritual side until recently...)
that is an improvement on your soul's part as you did not carry it out.
also, fun fact, it's said that many of our fears and traits stem from things that happened in our past lives. even birth marks and s--- like that.
lmao XD -
So everyone has a true personality that they are unaware of.
Cool.
Do all animals have souls? If not, that makes no sense, just because humans are smarter doesn't mean they are better, especially since we might completely ruin the world, and we've already started. -
YES
oMG
i wish i could explain better
but we have spirit animals and spirit guides
and animals have more than we think -
Often when I think about spirit animals, I think about an animal like for example a bear with a human spirit animal, if I ever write a story with spirit animals I should give a non-human animal a human spirit animal. Wait, I do have a story idea with not exactly spirit animals but it would still work. And no, I won't explain the plot because it's my favorite and I must be careful to not let anyone steal my idea.
What's your spirit animal as far as you know? -
seee that's the thing!!
It's hard to get in touch with our animal/spirit guides
iffff i had to take a guess, i feel like it is some kind of cat...just going off of my disposition and typical demeanor
how about you? -
Well, most quizzes I have taken say cat, and that is what I think as well, though I just take the quizzes' words for it, because I really like cats so I don't know if I actually think I have cat or I just want it to be a cat.
-
lmao i feel you
i would want a wolf, but they're just my fave
i wonder if your favorite animal has anything to do with it -
It might, though I honestly don't know if my favorite animal is a giraffe, toucan, owl, leopard, or snow leopard.

So hey I'm back. Ok it might make more sense to me 2kan if you can tell where in the bible it says that about women. A lot of stuff in there is metaphores and prophosies and other stuff. There is stuff said by God, multiple authors and eyewitness accounts, and stuff like that. So many languages and different translations, so could you tell me exactly what you're talking about?
I'm not saying slavery is good. I'm not saying that God just says accept it and have a nice life. Rather, I'm it's not just about slavery. Yes, there is a part in the bible where Paul, a follower of Jesus, urges slaves to be submissive to their masters. A life lesson because in the same way we have to be submissive to God. Let Him take control of our life. And that's awesome.
"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future." No one is greater than God. Meaning, no one can outgive God. He will bless you and be there for you, if you surrender.
With the culture thing, we have positions similar to slavery today. In every circumstance, we're here to praise God. And the slavery itself is not what He's encouraging.
You say that God has everything planned. Close. He knows our future, He knows what will happen, and He is in control, meaning He will always take care of us. But we do still have free will. You can choose God anytime you want, right? No one's forcing you. You can decide. And God does know where you will end up, what your choice will be, but He's still offering it. He's knows the future, but you choose your path. It's hard to explain, and I'm definetly not God. When you see the horrors of the world, abortion, rape, sin. That's people's decisions, not God's. That should be proof of free will. It's not like God's forcing me to kill someone right now. -
God's all powerful. So why doesn't He stop the horrors, if He loves us? It's because he loves us! If there was a God who forced you to love Him back, who forced you to never do anything wrong, who made us all like perfect little clones with no choice at all, would that be loving? He wants us to love Him back out of our own free will.

As for sickness, diseases, disorders, and other horrible things we have not brought upon ourselves, lot's of people blame God, when He can stop it. Again, we live in a broken world, and after the tribulation, when Jesus comes again, the world will be made new. Heaven on earth. Complicated stuff, I'm not too familiar with the book of Revelations though.
Some times the trials we have that God does not take away are there to test us. Which is more important, our faith and GOd, or getting better? Physically healed, or spiritually? And God can heal you, He will. Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened. But it has to be for the right reasons. I recently realized this myself. We should seek God more than we seek answers or a solution. God is the solution. -
Christian is a pretty loose term. I don't like saying I'm Christian because of it. Different denominations and all, different beliefs. Rather, I follow Jesus. Different from wolflove.

I don't agree with reincarnation, sorry. Something's always confused me. The population of today is so much different than it was thousands of years ago. The numbers don't add up if you keep reincarnating, and some go to heaven if you don't, according to wolflove.
