John the Baptist doubted too

The Jews are religious people. They were taught to wait for the coming of the Messiah. Their Holy Book, had several prophesies that the Messiah was coming.

John the Baptist was a Jew. He knew that the Messiah was coming. He said "He who is coming after me...I am not fit to remove His sandals. He Himself will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." Subsequently, John baptised Jesus at the Jordan River and a voice out of heavens, said "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." So many people heard this voice from Heaven. John must had heard too!

Later John was in prison. He must had a lot of time to think and think, and then doubt set in. He sent a note to Jesus' disciples and the disciples conveyed John's question to Jesus. "Are You the Coming One (Messiah) or shall we look for someone else?"

Jesus answered "Go and report to John...the BLIND SEES, THE LAME WALKS, THE LEPERS ARE CLEANSED, THE DEAF HEARS, THE DEAD ARE RAISED UP..."

Are you like John the Baptist? Do you doubt sometimes?

I do. Yet I believe Him.

Reincarnation Round 1: Jesus said John the Baptist is Elijah

In the old Testament, Mal 4:5 mentioned that Elijah would come before the coming of Jesus Christ.

In the new Testament, Luk 1:17, the angel told Zacharias that his son (John the Baptist), is the forerunner Jesus Christ. Luk 1:76 says "you child will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the LORD to prepare His ways."

In Matt 11:14 and Matt 17:12, Jesus explicitly explained to his disciples that he (John the Baptist) is Elijah.

The prophesy in Mal 4:5 that Elijah must come before Jesus Christ must be fulfilled. Elijah's spirit/soul came in the physical body of John the Baptist. This is an example of reincarnation.

So in Round 1 of this series of study on Christian Reincarnation, I conclude that reincarnation is possible.
