What does the Bible say about reincarnation?A Scripture-grounded answer about reincarnation in the bible

The Bible does not teach reincarnation and its theology is incompatible with the concept. Hebrews 9:27 states plainly that 'it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment' — not a cycle of deaths and rebirths. Christianity teaches linear history moving toward a final resurrection and judgment, not a cyclical pattern of soul migration. The Bible's vision of the afterlife is definitive: heaven or hell, not return to another earthly body. When Jesus spoke of being 'born again' (John 3:3), he meant spiritual rebirth through the Holy Spirit, not reincarnation.
