In the year 553, at the Council of Constantinople, they condemned and cursed the doctrine of reincarnation.... They condemned anyone who asserted the pre-existence of souls. What were they afraid of?

Who is Melchisedec, King of Salem? How is it possible that he has no father or mother? Isn't that how we describe God the Father, without beginning or ending? Then how was he like the Son of God?

For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. Hebrews 7:1-3

And who is Jesus, King of the Jews, the Prince of Peace, crucified in Jeru-Salem?

Let me state it clearly: He was on Earth physically both times and his name is Jehovah. Jesus had no earthly father and neither did Melchisedec, but Jesus was born of a virgin. He and the Father are One. The Spirit of Jehovah was embodied as both Melchisedec and Jesus, but only born from a woman one time.... as Jesus. Jehovah was physically on Earth as both men. Does that not indicate his pre-existence, what the Roman church condemns?

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

Jesus is both the child that was born, the Son of God, and also the everlasting Father, because he existed before the world was.

When the Roman Catholic church condemned pre-existence, they were condemning the Lord God who was himself incarnated yet had existed previously. And before he was Jesus, he was Melchisedec. Other souls also have been reincarnated on Earth, like John the Baptist who was the reincarnation of Elijah. And not only him, but all of us existed before we were born here.

If people are separated from the truth of the pre-existence of souls, then they do not understand that Jesus is the Lord God Himself, who was previously on Earth as Melchisedec, and has no beginning or end. And also, if they reject the pre-existence of souls, then they do not understand the original sin and the reason for Jesus dying on the cross.

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 KJV

We existed when Christ died for us. And we were sinners.

The condemnations of the Roman papacy works to destroy the truth. As they declared:

IF anyone asserts the fabulous pre-existence of souls, and shall assert the monstrous restoration which follows from it: let him be anathema {cursed}.
