Question
Dear Sal,

             A pagan priestess told me that she believes that Jesus of the Jews in bethleham was in turkey. An that he is turkish. I was like what that is false. He is jewish he is Israeli. As to what I remember in the gospels. An she said that reincarnation was taken out from the bible and that man wrote it not God himself. I told her that isnt true that is false. Who is right here me or her.

Answer
Dear Jacqueline:

You are the one who is right! The "priestess" has no factual basis for her belief. Anyone can say that something was taken out of the Bible. Ask them to prove it. If reincarnation was supposedly taken out of the Bible then there must be some early manuscripts of the Bible which have that it them before the Catholic Church removed it. Otherwise how would the "priestess" know that the Bible once taught reincarnation? Don't hold your breath, she will not be able to produce such a manuscript.

God Bless You,
Sal
