It is not easy to sort out what is correct in the Bible and which
isn't. However this site tries to do that, showing what is supposedly
the correct version - as far as teachings and beliefs goes.

The above site that I referenced to - goes along with the idea that
Jesus taught reincarnation as part of his teachings, having travelled from
ages 14-28 far and wide, and being indoctrinated into various far eastern
mysticisms. Some saying that the 3 wise men that showed up at his birth
were from the far east.
Also that Jesus was not resurrected after being crucified, but was revived,
ie. resucitated by Joseph of Arithmea who administered herbs over 3 days
and nights. That he in fact journeyed onto Kashmir, where he lived till
a long time and was buried there.
www.tombofjesus.com

This was presented in a British television program 'Did Jesus Die?'
which has no links to the above sites and was an independent production.

The idea that Jesus taught reincarnation is nothing new. People can cite
certain passages left in the bible which hints at this. Apparently there was
more text but that was taken out.
Paul favoured resurrection over reincarnation, and that is why we have
resurrection in the bible, due to his interpretation.
Everyone is reincarnated - and usually we don't remember our past life or
lives at all, but there have been exceptions. This is covered in the
literature/media about reincarnation. A couple of exceptional cases turned up
in the British television program 'Strange but True?' in the case of a
Bomber Pilot, and of an Englishwoman - the later case being very unusual, in
that she was reunited with her past family.
It is not only reincarnation that is interesting to read about - but also
about near death experiences and out of body experiences.
