A Christian sends this video to a reincarnation discussion

[Monica]

Why are these teachings not in the Bible that is used by most people today? Where could I find this information?

Because the collections of books in the current Bible was compiled for political reasons, by Emperor Constantine in around 325 (?) AD. References to reincarnation were mostly removed, though they missed a few (see above link).

Also, there are a LOT of other scriptures that never got included in the Bible. You might want to check out the Gnostic Christians, who acknowledge a lot of other scriptures as being authentic. (Although, what is authentic? Authentic what?)

My family and some of my friends think I'm possessed just for believing in reincarnation - and most certainly for remembering some bits and pieces of past lives.

Heh, I know about that all too well! My family thinks that of me too. My advice is to just smile and give them a hug.

So all of those who tell us that we should get "in tune" with our "I AM" presence are full of bunk? Now I'm confused.

I think gharghur was referring to the STS infiltrator, who used the name Yahweh to impose fear and domination on the tribal people. There are some threads about Yahweh on this forum, exploring the references in the Law of One.

Not to be confused with your own Divine Self, the Creator that dwells inside each of us.

How come they would do something so mean to confuse people?

It was an opportunity for STS to gain a foothold on this planet. It succeeded quite well, to a large degree, methinks.

AGREED! I still marvel at how people stake their very lives on a book that has been altered and messed up over the centuries and so many claim that the "original" books are safe and sound and match the current Bible "word for word"....'as God wrote it'.

Yeah me too. And then, even if you could get the perfect translation, you'd be essentially putting your faith into the humans who wrote it.

I mean, it was written by humans. It might be considered channeled, but written by humans nonetheless. How it is any different from any other 'holy scripture' which humans in other cultures wrote? Just different people expressing their own quest for God. Each cultural group thought they had the 'truth' but it was just their own limited understanding.

We've just been indoctrinated so completely, in this society, that this particular book is 'the word of God' and all others 'demonic' that it's scary at first, letting go of that.

But once you learn of the political machinations of how the Bible was put together, it sheds a whole 'nother light on it. It's very liberating to realize that humans were responsible for forcing the conquered people to believe a certain way, and that got passed on for many centuries.
