Life and Eternal Lives, Part 2 of Chapter 19 of Reincarnation

Life and Eternal Lives, Part 2 of Chapter 19 of Reincarnation 

Pages 170 to 178

Some reincarnationists have pointed to a statement by Wilford Woodruff in support of their belief:

[171]  I said this was my birthday. Yes, I am 42 years old this day. How such figures look to a man while counting up his years in this probation. The very sight of them crowd into the mind a flood of thought even more than tongue can utter or pen can write. The last sixteen years of my life have been spent in endeavouring to preach the gospel and building up the Kingdom of God in connection with my brethren. The past is gone. I have no desire to recall it. I would not wish to live my life over if I could. (W. Woodruff Jrnls., Mar. 2, 1849)

However, Woodruff did not say he was going to live it over again-only if he could.

There are many statements that include the term “eternal lives,” which reincarnationists pick right up on; for example, D & C 132:24: “This is eternal lives-to know the only wise and true God. . . .” and also, “Goodbye, Brother Brigham, until the morning of the resurrection day, when thy spirit and body shall be reunited and thou shalt inherit immortality, eternal lives and everlasting glory. . . .” (CHC 5:516)
