Do you believe in Reincarnation?

that may be some factors too.

you are born disable because:
1.) maybe nag kiat imong inahan pagdala sa iyang tiyan pag mabdos. (drugs, smoking, drinking alcohol, etc...)
2.) probably your mother got an accident before the baby was born
3.) dpende sa genes

etc... i thought you were a fan of science. LOL.

You have a point. How about those people who were born blind and disabled without any form of accidents or negative history (drugs, smoking, alcohol, etc) from the mother? How can you explain that? A lot of medical doctors and scientists are baffled by this phenomenon. How can you explain this in your so called SCIENCE?

3.) dpende sa genes

the human genome will be completely mapped soon. but that is still no guarantee of eliminating deffects of the human body.

How can you explain the man born blind? Where is the INFINITE LOVE of GOD if GOD created us all equally? It implies that the man was born blind because it was the payment for his sins from his previous life. Reincarnation states that if a man dies without paying all his evil deeds he would surely pay it in the next lifetime. The Law of Karma is perfect ("what you sow is what you reap") and Reincarnation is the answer not HELL as Eternal Punishment of GOD! I hope you get my point.

LOL I'll just quote what the article you posted.. the explanation there would suffice

The disputed text is the introduction to the healing of the man born blind in John 9,2. Considering the apostles' question: "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?", it is obvious that the first option (the man was born blind because of his sin) implies that he could sin only in a previous life. According to the classic theory of reincarnation, he might have been a cruel dictator who got the just reward for his bad deeds.

However, the apostles' question about the possibility of having sinned before birth should not necessarily be judged as indicating an existing belief in reincarnation. It rather confirms that some religious factions believed that the fetus could somehow sin in its mother womb. If Jesus had considered reincarnation to be true, surely he would have used this opportunity, as was his custom, to explain to them how karma and reincarnation work in such a peculiar situation. Jesus never missed such opportunities to instruct his disciples on spiritual matters, and reincarnation would have been a crucial doctrine for them to understand.

Nevertheless, in the answer Jesus gave, he rejected both options suggested by the apostles. Both ideas of sinning before birth and the punishment for the parents' sins were wrong. Jesus said: "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life" (John 9,3). "The work of God" is described in the next verses, when Jesus healed the blind man as a proof of his divinity

3.) dpende sa genes

Genes? If GOD is perfect and Absolute and INFINITE GOODNESS, how come there is a BAD GENE or call it WEIRD GENE as you may? Explain. Accident?

4.) dpende sa kinaon sa mother sad.

if unhealthy foods ang kinaon sa mother, do you think the baby will be healthy?

Before birth meaning, while the baby is still in the womb (the fetus is incapable of sinning) but it doesn't mean that the man had not sinned during his previous lifetime. Jesus was referring only to the present lifetime that the man born blind had not sinned and it resulted to his blindness. Understand the whole context of the statement please.
