Nowhere in the Bible is reincarnation taught. The Scripture declares that "it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment." (Heb. 9:27)
Reincarnation teaches that when a person dies, his soul goes to live in a new body that is being born, and that this process repeats itself oven and over again. This belief of Hinduism teaches that how we live our life determines the Karmic debt that we must pay off in the next life, death, and reincarnation until we improve our state through many thousands of lives.
The Bible does agree that men are not good, and that they live under a sin debt. It differs, however, in declaring that grace and forgiveness come through Jesus Christ who has made it possible to be freed from the debt. It also teaches that we only have one life in which to receive the forgiveness of our debt to sin.
