Pope Vigilius arrested for believing in reincarnation

1 min read

In 545 A.D., Roman Emperor Justinian arrested Pope Vigilius for believing the teachings of Jesus, Origin, St. Clement of Alexandria and other early church fathers who believed in the pre-existence of the soul and reincarnation.

Hebrews 9:27 does not disprove reincarnation (Letters, May 10). What was at issue upon reading the entire chapter was whether or not Jesus had to be sacrificed more than once.

Matthew 11:7-15 and Matthew 17:10-13 clears up the mystery. Jesus taught the disciples that John the Baptist was the reincarnation of the Jewish prophet Elija/Elias. Verse 13 is emphatically clear. The disciples “understood.”
