      Thank you for your prompt response.
      ok, think over it irrespective of any religion or community. Btw, as far as my knowledge is concerned, Jesus came back, 3 days after crucifixion.What is it called ? Is it rebirth ?

      No, he was not born again.  He rose from the dead.

      The Abrahamic religions...Judaism, Christianity and Islam...do not adhere to the concept of reincarnation, although there are esoteric traditions within Christianity and Judaism that may hold differing views.  Older religions than these do, though.

   Only in the sense that you can be born again in Christ.

   Yes, but my answer relates to Yoga Philosophy and is quite profound. God is essentially Spirit or Consciousness - the word used in Yoga Philosophy. In the Highest Form, it is the Absolute Silence: Existence, Consciousness; Bliss.
   
   In order to manifest Itself, for this world to exist, Spirit projects or descends into Its own Creation. The Soul is a Divine spark of this Consciousness. It involutes, that is to say, it comes down and having done so, begins its upwards journey (Evolution) via the mineral, plant, animal and human life. The ultimate stage and the very purpose of the Soul is the Divine life (Self-Discovery).
   
   Re-incarnation is the process by which the Soul evolves, each step higher than the next. While there are exceptions, this is the usual pattern. The Soul is immortal and neutral, but takes a female or male form according to its propensity, and in harmony with the Will Divine. It remains as such (mostly) until it breaks free of the wheel of Desires (samsaras) and returns to its true nature: God.
   
   Re-incarnation goes hand in hand with Karma, and is necessary for the Soul's growth and development. We are all Souls, and the body is a necessary instrument, that the Soul utilises, to manifest the glory of the Divine. Hope this helps.
   
   P.S. Many Christians believe in Re-incarnation, but yes, it conflicts with Religion and with their church, but not with the secret doctrines as written by the Christian Saints of virtue, and locked within the confines of the Vatican vault. Many white New-agers and Western Spiritual groups, believe in Re-incarnation.
   
   The Christ urges us to seek, and to knock. You will be amazed by how much is known when we begin to seek or knock earnestly. For we are made in the likeness or very image of God. Peace.

      Nice question,Yudish. God is self-transcending  and not  static. New Souls are constantly coming, and God is constantly transcending Itself. He plays with this Divine Lila, and changes it from time to time in accordance with His Will and Consciousnes
