This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Matt 16:13-17 seem to address the issue.  It appears that Jews of the
time believed in some sort of soul-type transmigration, or something
pretty darn weird.  And apparently Jesus does, too, as he praises
Simon for getting it right, since doing so requires some sort
of divine assistance.  So it looks like the idea of the same soulish
thing moving from one incarnation to another is not anti - or even
extra-Biblical.
