My Grandma use to talk about, old souls. My child when he was 5 had stashed 5 small rocks up under the ledge of our AC unit, when I asked him why he put them there he replied "They are old souls, I want to keep them safe", oO, another child in the family when she was a toddler, kept picking up tiny pebbles and then walking to the fence gate and, while cupping the pebbles in her hand, would stand there with her thumb and finger on the metal screw and just be as peaceful as can be, we still can't figure out why she use to do that lol. Children are just amazing.

Christianity rejects reincarnation for ten reasons.
It is contradicted by Scripture (Heb 9:27).
It is contradicted by orthodox tradition in all churches.
It would reduce the Incarnation (referring to Christ’s incarnation) to a mere appearance, the crucifixion to an accident, and Christ to one among many philosophers or avatars. It would also confuse what Christ did with what creatures do: incarnation with reincarnation.
It implies that God made a mistake in designing our souls to live in bodies, that we are really pure spirits in prison or angels in costume.
It is contradicted by psychology and common sense, for its view of souls as imprisoned in alien bodies denies the natural psychosomatic unity.
It entails a very low view of the body, as a prison, a punishment.
It usually blames sin on the body and the body’s power to confuse and darken the mind. This is passing the buck from soul to body, as well as from will to mind, and a confusion of sin with ignorance.
The idea that we are reincarnated in order to learn lessons we failed to learn in a past earthly life is contrary to both common sense and basic educational psychology. I cannot learn something if there is no continuity of memory. I can learn from my mistakes only if I remember them. People do not usually remember these past “reincarnations.”
The supposed evidence for reincarnation, rememberings from past lives that come out under hypnosis or “past life regression” can be explained—if they truly occur at all—as mental telepathy from other living beings, from the souls of dead humans in purgatory or hell, or from demons. The real possibility of the latter should make us extremely skittish about opening our souls to “past life regressions.”
Please Note: While I would agree with the demonic aspect, I do not agree with the idea of purgatory nor can I agree with the idea of the souls of dead humans communicating with living people. The dead are confined, according to Scripture, and cannot reveal themselves. This is suggested in the story of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16 and by the extreme surprise of the witch of Endor when she saw Samuel who was dead (see 1 Sam. 28:8f). She claimed to be a medium or one who contacts the dead, but when Saul requested that she contact Samuel and when God brought him forth, it startled her and brought great fear. This appeared to be her first experience with the real thing, i.e., with seeing the dead because this is normally not possible. When people do experience such experiences or contact, what they are seeing or experiencing is better identified as demonic.
Reincarnation cannot account for itself. Why are our souls imprisoned in bodies? Is it the just punishment for evils we committed in past reincarnations? But why were those past reincarnations necessary? For the same reason. But the beginning of the process that justly imprisoned our souls in bodies in the first place—this must have antedated the series of bodies. How could we have committed evil in the state of perfect, pure, heavenly spirituality? Further, if we sinned in that paradise, it is not paradisical after all. Yet that is the state that reincarnation is supposed to lead us back to after all our embodied yearnings are over.
If the answer is given that our bodies are not penalties for sin but illusions of individuality, the pantheistic One becoming many in human consciousness, no reason can possibly be given for this. Indeed, Hinduism calls it simply lila, divine play. What a stupid game for God to play! If Oneness is perfection, why would perfection play the game of imperfection? All the world’s sins and sufferings are reduced to a meaningless, inexplicable game.
And if evil is itself only illusory (the answer given by many mystics) then the existence of this illusion is itself a real and not just illusory evil. Augustine makes this telling point.
Where then is evil, and what is its source, and how has it crept into the creation? What is its root, what is its seed? Can it be that it is wholly without being? But why should we fear and be on guard against what is not? Or if our fear of it is groundless, then our very fear is itself an evil thing. For by it the heart is driven and tormented for no cause; and that evil is all the worse, if there is nothing to fear yet we do fear. Thus either there is evil which we fear, or the fact that we fear is evil. (Confessions, VII, 5)
My inability to follow rules is finally paying off, God truly is great 😀
I always got a and b grades red f in conduct lol
Most people seem to treat rules like the rails of a rollercoaster.
To me they are more like a road whilst I'm driving a 4*4
great point.
Nice tatoo....not.

I always heard this term old soul, never realized I was one.
Nailed it.

This should not be spread here.
The poster knows better. She posts occult symbology. And even here, sheep follow.
Okay. I'll go along with a lot, but this is utter new age bull fucking shit. Seriously.
Lol...Its not New age ...Its actually Old age...
Exceedingly dropped my opinion of your contributions.... by a lot. All else you post and have posted are now suspect.
Disturbing but worthwhile seeing the amount of up doots on this crap. Too bad we don't have a roll call to see who to put on block.
Yep! Totally agree.
I was told I was decades ago by someone I consider to be one and who is also one of the wisest people I know.
What no pithy comeback?

I tell people I’m an old soul in a young husk :P
This is a crock. Souls are created when a new life begins. There is no reinarnation. This is New Age baloney, which feeds pride. Ignore it.
I’m an atheist and I saw the truth king time ago
