Reincarnation, Christ and Hindu's

[Jehoshua]

Iv’e got a hindu friend

And we talked and discussion got into the issue of reincarnation. Specifically as in how the bible, and specifically the ressurection of christ showed reincarnation to be true. I know why he died and resurrected and so forth but unfortunately im having trouble expressing it.

He didn;t explain his thoughts very well either on the issue so im goign to ask for the good people heres clarification and thoughts on these areas to cover all bases.

1: Why Christ died and resurrected
2: The nature of the event of his death and ressurection
4: The teachings in written and oral law on re-incarnation and the afterlife

Also id like peoples thoughts on the issue of reincarnation generally and biblical teaching regarding anything remotely related to it.

Thanks in advance.

Reincarnation and resurrection are not inherently incompatible. Check out Hasidic Jews, who believe in both.

Yes, but im asking for the christian viewpoint in the area’s i outlined because i am having trouble explaining the christian viewpoint in a way this hindu can understand.

Try Athanasius, On the Incarnation.

Great recommendation!

Fun reading for the philosophically (and especially Thomist) minded: Christianity and the Doctrine of Non-Dualism by A Monk of the West.
