Hinduism is the third largest religion in the world. Larry Wessels and Steve Morrison of Christian Answers are joined by guest Mark Cass in this informative analysis. What is the relationship between Hinduism, early Iranian religion, and Greek mythology? What was the role of the narcotic drug soma in early Hinduism? Reincarnation is the Hindu teaching that a soul moves from body to body in a birth-death-rebirth cycle (also referred to as soul transmigration). The status of the body a soul is born into, ranging from a slug or spider to a king on a throne, is a direct result of karma (Hindu law that says good lives are rewarded with a better next life or a bad life lived is punished by the soul coming back as a more degraded creature). Thus many Hindus will not even swat a fly for fear that it might be someones relative in a past life. Biblical teaching contradicts reincarnation on numerous levels with Hebrews 9:27 saying, it is appointed for men to die once. less
