I've studied many belief systems including reincarnation, and it is completely incompatible with the teachings of the Bible. The one true God is not a cosmic bean counter who tracks karma and makes entry into heaven a matter of achievement on our part. Salvation is by faith in what Jesus did on the Cross for us, not on our level of maturity or understanding or achievement. Since the Bible makes it clear that none of us is good enough to earn our way in, reincarnation would be a living hell because it would never end. A gazillion lifetimes will never perfect us; only Jesus can do that. Those who claim they can "prove" past lives are being deceived, and we know who is in the business of deception. Any belief will do if it keeps people from knowing the Truth, the Way, the Life.

The Bible has some gray areas, but salvation and sins such as deviant sexua| practices are not among them. While your belief system does not have to exlude faith in some kind of god, it certainly does exclude the God of the Bible, which says that we "die once, then face judgment". Please read over the first blog entry on salvation.
