In this regard, I will not answer this question through my own human wisdom and understanding. Instead, I will let the Holy Scriptures give us the answer on the question… do dead people watch us, think about us and speak with us? Read more

Is Reincarnation True and Biblical?

Is reincarnation true? Does the Bible teach about it? The concept of reincarnation is that when a person dies, his soul, spirit or evolving consciousness is reborn in a new body or life in a form of a human, animal or plant, depending on his past actions (as associated with Karma). Thus, a man can be a dog in the past or can be an eggplant or banana in the future.  Reincarnation also differs from resurrection. Resurrection is being alive again in the same body (which may be glorified or condemned on the Judgment Day), while reincarnation is being born again in different body or bodies. Resurrection happens once; while reincarnation can occur several times. Those who believe in resurrection Read more

Do We Really Have a Free Will?

Do we really have free will? Does the Bible tell us that we really have the ability to make our own choice? The philosophy of free will has been divided among religions, and even among the religions who claimed to be Christians. The truth about the existence of free will on humans is very important because it determines the way to our eternal salvation. The concept of free will is contrary to the concept of theological predestination for the reason that the latter believes that God decides the eternal  destination (salvation or destruction) of a person regardless of that person’s choice. The Holy Bible talks about predetermination. But does this concept of predestination really deny the existence of our free will? Will our salvation and eternal destination depends on our choice or not? Let’s find out the answers. Read more
