I have much experience of the existence of a spirit world and they say there is a God. Being in a higher plane of existence they should know. They say we reincarnate hundreds, if not thousands of times, on this and other worlds in a long journey of spiritual evolution until we reach a state of grace, or enlightenment, after which we no longer need to reincarnate and we continue to evolve into higher and higher realms of experience as immortal beings.
The truth be told I am weary of the whole idea of suffering and struggling through countless incarnations and oblivion seems like a reasonable option to me. But I can't undo what I have learned and so I think the soul has to go on getting reborn into new lives until perfected.
I know the spirit world can see into the future because I have had evidence of it, so God knows what is going to happen before it does. He allows suffering because it causes growth in the soul, and if our real status is eternal and immortal beings then dying is no big deal. It is just like throwing off an old coat or mortal body, and putting on a new one.
