    For the record there are hints in scripture that the Danite Judge Samson....... might perhaps have been the Patriarch Judah reincarnated........

    https://www.chabad.org/kabbalah/article_cdo/aid/380599/jewish/Judaism-and-Reincarnation.htm

    Judaism and Reincarnation
    Beginner
    By Yerachmiel Tilles

    ..................

    These are only hints mind you but the fact that both the Patriarch Judah as well as the DAnite Judge Samson got in trouble with a woman in the Philistine town of Timnath is interesting......


    https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/search.cfm?Criteria=Timnath&t=KJV#s=s_primary_0_1

    Gen 38:12

    And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.

    Gen 38:13

    And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.

    Gen 38:14

    And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.

    Jdg 14:1

    And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.

    Jdg 14:2

    And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.

    Jdg 14:5

    Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.

    Well...... on one level all of Helen Wambach Ph. D.'s volunteers who were Atheists would be pretty surprised to
    find out that the impressions of "past lives" that they got while in a hypnotic trance seem to fit quite well with
    what they were going through in their lives.

    http://www.carolmoore.net/articles/helenwambach.html
    Helen Wambach Ph. D. was an Atheist at the time that she began her research.......
    and she certainly found her results to be shocking.......

    Your choice.... but I am quite impressed with what Dr. Ian Stevenson dug up over several decades of travelling all over the world to research various cases of children who remembered a past life.

    https://www.near-death.com/reincarnation/research/ian-stevenson.html

    If you just can't handle potential truth at this level.....
    you are in good company.... right up there with the Roman Catholic Bishops and Pope's of the first five centuries of Christianity!

    We certainly can't blame you all for your skepticism......
    because the implications of all this is profoundly humbling.........
    not a pleasant intellectual condition to contemplate going into at all?!

    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...nation-was-edited-out-of-christianity.370322/


    Why reincarnation was edited out of Christianity?
    www.ThomasTwin.com/


    I think that within a century total disdain for information such as this will probably be looked on in a similar manner to the deeply religious leaders of the dark ages who believed in a flat earth.......... and persecuted Galileo and other scientists.............
    but for now........ ignorance of such things reigns ...... but there are signs of improvement......

    I am truly impressed with the gang here on this forum for how well they answered this poll:

    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...ogically-advanced-species-in-universe.535519/

    Are we humans the most technologically advanced species in the universe / Multiverse?

    Since there has been exactly zero confirmed cases of past lives I find myself in good company. Oh, and I don't believe in palm reading, tarot cards, auras , or any of the other common beliefs of the overly credulous.

    And the definition of " potential truth" is lies.

    If you wish to define "potential truth" that way.... that is your decision......
    but five centuries ago the earth being round...... and orbiting around the sun..... was regarded as merely "potential truth" and even then only by a well informed tiny minority.

    You might wish to delve into these accounts some time in the future......... if only to take a serious look at what former Atheists have to say about what they went through. It can make for more scintillating conversations with your spouse... kids or grandchildren..... and even at a party if you and your friends happen to have a few drinks?!

    https://www.near-death.com/religion/atheism.html
    Note... the Beverly Brodsky NDE account...... is really quite good humor....... She blasts the being of light of NDE fame for allowing The Holocaust to occur! Then the Being of Light of NDE fame..... answers one hundred percent of her challenging questions............ to her satisfaction.

    Sir..... you do not know what you are missing!

    Bev Brodsky is a heroic figure to many...............


    https://www.near-death.com/religion/judaism/beverly-brodsky.html
    In her own way..... Ms. Bev Brodsky blasted G-d even more effectively than Moses had........
    on occasion!

    https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/exo/32/11/s_82011

    Exodus 32:11
    Could it be that even Satan.... was something of a fan of Moses?

    Jude 1:9

    "Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”"

    How do you define a prophet? A future teller? A truth teller? A condescending truth teller? (Condescension is to tell someone something that they did not already know.)

    I would define Mr. Dannion Brinkley as a genuine prophet..... and a successful one because most of his 117 unusual predictions did come to pass.... but at least one major one has been delayed and delayed and delayed beyond when it happened in what I suspect was another time line. Chapter five of his book "Saved By The Light"..... in my opinion..... is right up there in a similar league to that of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and the minor prophets.

    I believe that the message that this man gave for the next twelve years in America is prophetic...........
    it is from a higher place than mere human reasoning......

    I apologize. I'm not following. I get that you think that guy is a prophet. What I would like to know is what you think a prophet is. Is it a future-teller, or something else? Is it someone who condescends to man on God's behalf? Or, is it something else?

    Prophets are merely human........
    they are capable of misunderstanding the predictions of the future that they are given but
    for one example, near death experiencer Dannion Brinkley was given over a hundred predictions for the future and
    about ninety or more of them did already come to pass.

    His near death experience was in 1975 and the list of the remarkable visions of the future shown to him
    is quite amazing.

    One of the huge roles of a genuine prophet is to warn us so that we can improve and change our ways so that the worst part of the predictions can be avoided..... or at least the level of disaster decreased.

    The Bible says there is no Temple. What is your religion?

    Ezekiel chapters 40 - 48 are clear that there is a temple for that time period.

    Revelation chapter 20 and 21...... where is says that the Lamb and the FAther are the temple......... obviously must be for a later time period. That could even be for a higher invisible dimension that humans cannot yet see?!

    I believe in the fulfilment of every word in Ezekiel and every word in REvelation but....... obviously.....
    the final fulfillments of both books could be many centuries apart from each other.

    False dichotomy. There are other choices, one of which is "Delusional Nutter".

    If it were not for what I saw from my wife since the year 2000.......
    I might well have thought that myself. But my wife and many of her friends from church have similar gifts to this man........
    so I take him very, very, very seriously.

    Regardless of your personal belief, a false dichotomy is a false dichotomy. There are other choices.

    But you have an unblemished record of believing fruit loops over rational thinking so at least you are remaining consistant.

    Well lets run a test. Give us ten detailed predictions for the next six months. Dow average, Brexit deal, dollar exchange rate versus the euro, Mueller findings, and any othe six you choose. A seventy percent sucess rate well be accepted as proof of psychic power.

    IF.... the people of western and northern Canada really get it together.......
    they are capable of making choices that would significantly improve the Dow average over the next six months.......
    actually over the next five to ten years or more........

    IF.... the people of western and northern Canada really catch on to how they can assist President TRump and America with
    the 117 trillion USA petro-dollars in the DERIVATIVES market...... they will be able to affect the Brexit deal, the dollar exchange rate versus the euro...... the Muller findings........ and any other six major world trends............

    My off hand guess for the next six months is that people with very low levels of faith that American and Israel and Canada and Australia and South Africa are being led by an all powerful Creator who has given us humans astonishing power to alter our future....... They will probably dump their USA petrodollar holdings........
    and people with something that could be termed FAITH.... . that an all powerful Creator who has given humanity power to positively or negatively affect our future by our choices..........
    will buy those financial vehicles...........
    and voila........ a WEALTH TRANSFER..... from the relatively wicked toward the relatively righteous!!!!!!!!!!!!

    What are YOU going to do CourtJester?????

    The choice really is your.... YOU have been given more power to alter the future of the earth than you tend to imagine......... That is one of the huge implications of our buddy AboveAlpha's Multiverse Theory........ that I personally have referred to as the most important Philosophical idea of the twenty first century........... and I was being serious!!!!!

    We humans have power alter the future that we are about to experience....... profoundly........... and psychology...... pessimism vs optimism......... is a powerful force!
