The National Spiritualist Association of Churches, based in Lily Dale, New York does not provide proof there is no reincarnation but ask people to prove there is a reincarnation. It is interesting to note that the Hydesville, New York property was purchased and owned by them. The Hydesville property is claimed where modern day Spiritualism began.

The National Spiritualist Association of Churches claim the other Spiritualist groups broke away from their organization.

Lily Dale is considered the largest Spiritualist Camp whereas Camp Chesterfield is considered the second largest camp.

Hydesdale, New York is where modern day Spiritualism began. Most claim it began with the Fox Sisters.

The Bible spoke about reincarnation until Emperor Constantine got his hands on it and changed it to suit his needs.
I have read virtually every writing Constantine wrote. What people normally say about him is not supported in his writings.

Do you have a source that shows exactly what scriptures were changed?

As for proof for Constantine,search the web,it'll tell you.One off hand is a video posted by hans Wilhelm on you tube about the subject,there are more.
The woman could be the Queen of Sheba for all i care.What gives her the right to say that she knows all.This is what gives spirituality a bad name.I know what I believe and no charlaton is going to tell me different.
Now if you don't mind,I am a busy man and have work to do.Goodbye!

Please discuss.

It doesn't matter really. What you choose to call yourself or call another person is a personal preference me thinks. I think it's entirely possible to believe in both philosophies. Maybe there is another word for some one with divergent ideas?

Thanks Big John, I had not heard the term Spiritist before, so I've learnt something today.
I think labels are too conscriptive and restrictive...I like the freedom to think and feel and believe what I want, the freedom to grow and change my mind and position so I'm not keen on trying to fit everything in tidy compartments. It's such a human thing to do though isn't it? We do it to ourselves for our own comfort levels...strange hey...

There's no need to believe in either philosophy because each provides evidence of what's taught there. Neither does one have to accept every component of either philosophy to consider oneself as either a Spiritist or a Spiritualist. Neither philosophy is prescriptive.

Do not claim to be a spiritualist nor a spiritist, I cannot say it makes any difference to me.
President of the National Spiritualist Association of Churches, based in Lily Dale, New York where she claimed Spiritualist do not believe in reincarnation.

To my knowledge, churches do not promote reincarnation? However, I may be mistaken.

I think my point is sufficient.
