Reincarnation – an original Christian doctrine

39 vulgate according to the original texts (in: Corpus Christi Canonici, Vol. XXXIX/2 coll. 1179), but naturally nothing happened. Taking the Enzylica of Pope Leo XIII “Provendentissimus Deus” into consideration, Karl Rahner SJ wrote only just recently (1962) ina theological lexica that divine inspiration applied to all parts of the scriptures, even to statements that did not concern the doctrine of salvation, but dealt with natural history statements. All of this was predicated by God and free from mistakes. (Rahner, “Inspiration” in: Handbuch theologischer Grundbegriffe, see P. 719) According to a report in the FAZ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) from the 3-12-1965, Cardinal König (Vienna) presented the II. Vatican Council with a whole series of historical mistakes contained in the Bible. In “Herder’s Theologisches Taschenlexikon” published in 1972, Rahner was only allowed to write something he had been aware of for some time: “Textual criticism endeavours to ascertain the original wording of the biblical books as accurately as possible on hand of handwritten traditions. This is necessary, because the text underwent numerous changes during the process of copying, be this through genuine mistakes or through intentional corrections.” (Rahner, (Herders Theologisches Taschenlexikon 1, see P. 292) Professor Geiselmann (see P. 171) now openly explains that today’s edition of the gospel has been revised on numerous occasions . The fact that such evidence exists may seem incredible to a lot of church-going Christians. One has never heard about it, because it does not appear in religious education, in sermons and in religious publications. The time has truly come where the silence in regards to this is shattered in order to open people’s eyes. It is never too late to acknowledge the truth. “The truth will set you free” ( John 8, 32 ) is particularly pertinent these days. III. Evidence of the correctness of prophetic revelations in regards to the re- embodiment of the soul taken from the Bible and Fathers of the Church (Patristic) 1. Biblical evidence German, Greek and Latin Bible passages listed in the bibliography below were used to base these texts on. Where the German texts deviate from the Greek/Latin texts, the latter were superimposed. It was a case of trying to not only stick to the literal translation of the texts, but also to grasp, wherever necessary, the sense of all the texts within the overall context, according to: 2. Corinthians 3, 6: “…it is He (God) who made us capable of serving the new covenant, which consists not of a written law, but of the spirit.” a) Biblical evidence of the pre-existence of the soul Wisdom of Solomon 8, 19-20: “ As a child I was naturally gifted, and a good soul fell to my lot; or rather, being good, I entered an undefiled body.” These thoughts show that the construction of the current body was undoubtedly the result of his last incarnation. The soul of this young man therefore lived before this life and was therefore pre- existent.
