Jesus believed in Reincarnation...

In the story of the "Blind Man", in John 9:1-2, it states, As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked Him, " Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"..............The disciples wanted to know the reason for the man's blindness. They offered two possibilities to Jesus. Either the man was blind because of the sins of his parents, or he was blind because he was reaping the fruit of his own sins (Karma). If our souls do not exist prior to this birth and if the man was born blind, then when or where could he have committed the sins that caused his blindness?.. His soul would have existed prior to that birth, and he would have engaged in a corporeal setting with other people to commit sins against or with.. In other words, the blind man had a previous life.. This indicates that the pre-existence of the soul was a prevalent idea among the disciples, otherwise, how could they have asked such an unusual question?.. Neither does Jesus ask then where they get this idea.. He does not marvel that they have presented him with such a foolish concept.. Where did they get this idea? As we have seen in the "blind man" scripture and other scriptures, the concept of reincarnation was understood by Jesus and the disciples. They employed the concept in these discussions in a matter-of-fact way.....
