Roman Christendom is 100% anti-reincarnation -
Hebrews 9:27 - one death and one judgment
But what about the people that die without having the opportunity to 'be awakened' / 'Born Again'?
What is the Christendom answer for these people?
Free Will says I have the freedom to kill you / murder you before your awakening
If I kill you - if you die in infancy - if you die in an atomic bomb blast and have never made the Free Will Choice to Seek the Kindgdom - what happens to you?
Christendm - has no answer
The Apocryphon of John - The Nag Hammadi Library
And I said, "Lord, where will the souls of these go when they have come out of their flesh?" And he smiled and said to me, "The soul in which the power will become stronger than the counterfeit spirit, is strong and it flees from evil and, through the intervention of the incorruptible one, it is saved, and it is taken up to the rest of the aeons."
And I said, "Lord, those, however, who have not known to whom they belong, where will their souls be?" And he said to me, "In those, the despicable spirit has gained strength when they went astray. And he burdens the soul and draws it to the works of evil, and he casts it down into forgetfulness. And after it comes out of (the body), it is handed over to the authorities, who came into being through the archon, and they bind it with chains and cast it into prison, and consort with it until it is liberated from the forgetfulness and acquires knowledge. And if thus it becomes perfect, it is saved."
And I said, "Lord, how can the soul become smaller and return into the nature of its mother or into man?" Then he rejoiced when I asked him this, and he said to me, "Truly, you are blessed, for you have understood! That soul is made to follow another one (fem.), since the Spirit of life is in it. It is saved through him. It is not again cast into another flesh."
Jews and Gnostic are in total agreement
again Christendom has a different doctrine
