Reincarnation Jim, but not as we knew it

A quote from David Torkington’s book ‘Wisdom from the Western Isles’:

‘My belief in reincarnation…not the reincarnation of every man, but of the perfect Man, who makes himself flesh again in as many different ways as there are those who would receive Him’

That is true Christianity. 

David’s book is well worth reading, written from the perspective of a Christian mystic.

More conventional scriptural versions include:

‘It was fitting for Him for whom all things and by whom are all things, in *bringing many sons to glory*, to make the captain of their salvation, perfect through sufferings’ Hebrews 2v10

Or Romans 8 where ‘the sons of God will be revealed’

Or the beautiful verse from John: ‘Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us that we should be called the children of God, and that is what we are’ 1 john 3v1

And CS Lewis said true believers in Christ are like ‘mini-Christs’.
