Wait, before anyone is tempted to call me everything but a child of God I just want you to read this:
Luke 6:22-24
Blessed are you when men [people] hate you,
And when they exclude you,
And revile you, and cast out your name as evil,
For the Son of Man’s sake.
Rejoice in that day and leap for joy!
For indeed your reward is great in heaven,
For in like manner their fathers did to the prophets.
Ok, now ya'll are free to call me demeaning names (but I don't want you to, I am just letting you know that there is a blessing connected to it, in store for us Christians).

Jesus was a monothestic Jew. He would diffently not be speaking about that. (Read the passage, John informs us what he meant. He was much closer to the time of Jesus Christ than you and I, so it's best to listen to him.)
Gilgul is Hebrew for "transmigration of souls." The concept of reincarnation would not have been alien to Jesus. However, Judaism is a religion which emphasizes ethics--living according to God's Laws, so gilgul would not have been a focus for him.

Jesus rose PHYSICALLY from the dead. This is what the Bible reveals.

Jesus resurrection was VERY PHYSICAL. So physical in fact that after He rose from the dead He ate broiled fish and honey comb with His disciples on one occasion,[B]Luke 24:40-43
He [Jesus] said to them, “Have you any food here?” So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb. And He took it and ate in their presence.
When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. But while they still did not believe for joy, and marveled,and fish (some that the disciples had just caught) and bread on another.
John 21:1
After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself: But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea. But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fish. [COLOR=royalblue]Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.” Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken. Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?”—knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish. This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.[/COLOR]

Too many PROOFS that Jesus rose from the dead.

It is the same concept I have commented on before: we have to take the Bibles word it is true. What about all the other Holy Texts out there that claim the same thing? How can a person say "This book here that claims it alone is the truth is correct, while or those other books that claim they are only truth are not"?
Seems to me the Bible needs either a. verifying proof for what it says or b. just some proof in general.
