i have thoughts playing around my head
can we maintain our present face when we are reincarnated??

Well then we'd have alot of people throughout history with the same face wouldn't we? Our physical features are determined by our DNA and parents gene pool so I can't see how that would be possible.

Well that would certainly answer that bit about everybody has a twin. "I remember Egypt...."

In all seriousness though, I'd say no. (there is no wrong answer here) If there were such a thing, how could you?! When what invigorates the flesh, what reincarnates, is the soul?! It's like that old thing about what came first, the chicken or the egg. What comes first, the soul or the flesh? What good is the flesh without the energy that animates it to life.

I'm pretty much with the others. The only way you could have the same face ---- MAYBE --- is if you were reincarnated as your little brother or sister -- same gene pool.

Do you love your current face so much you don't want to lose it?

Well the only way to come back with the same face or slightly the same face, is to be reborn into the same family .. same parents.

you could say that we are always born with the same face


...from a certain point of view.
(oh how I wish I could do an Alec Guiness impression)

odd how sometimes, even with new blood being introduced, great-great grandkids can look almost Exactly like their ancestors. Seen it a few times. Especially in old baby pictures but sometimes once grown up and against an old photo or portrait it's like wow... you guys are the same person! at least sure looks like it.

You might not come back as the same sex. You wouldn't want a mans face on a woman's body. IMO genitic line is different than spiritual line, so I don't think you come back with the same face, but there is no proof one way or another.

Heavens I hope not, that would lend a lot of credibility to the wannabe immortals I run into on other forums. Yikes, they are real?!

ahhh
hehehe
thanks for all the replys
hmmmmm my dream of having the same face for many centuries is gone hehe
TY

when we die were quicken in the spirit ..it will stay in the same state as it was in at the time of death..same face ..no changes..if and when we die..we stay the same..and no reincarnation...just raised from dead....on judgement day we'll have that same face...and spirit as well..those stained with sin wihtout the blood of jesus will have a much uglyer one though.

Eh?? This is a new one on me.

It is said that in reincarnation, groups of souls reincarnate in the same family, friends etc, they recognise each other by their souls, (don't ask me about the mechanics of it, I haven't got a clue how it works LOL).

Well.... dreams are often symbolic. You having the same physical face for centuries in the dream may actually mean you've had the same spiritual face, so to speak.

I always liked the quote from Mark Twain, “By the time we are forty years old we will be stuck with the face we deserve”.

If they ever invent time travel, I'm definately going to have the lecture tour to end all lecture tours, Twain and Rollins.

Even more interesting, the faces we choose to represent ourselves.
