This is a great thread, flagged. Not sure what to add though.
All the "bad guys" follow sun worship, so rebirth etc is a major aspect of this. But deeper than that, there is an age old fascination with rebirth that spawned mummification, from as long ago as 20 000 years (!)
There is a lot of psycho-analytical stuff about rebirth too, in the sense of initiations from around the world, and the importace to the psyche.
Your point on the christians being persecuted for specifically this doctrine is telling, especially considering it is the central tenet of the christian faith, ie, being re-born into God. I've heard christians being called re-borns many times before.
There's something about the antagonism displayed that suggests ou are right, so much so that we're carrying "baggage" about the entire concept.
Please carry on ... i'm sure you'll he more to add on this

Why bother mummyfying someone, UNLESS the body will be used again?

Excellent points. Following my own logic, the concept of a new "spiritual" body and NO re-incarnation would have followed after that, as an updated version.

Original Christianity embraces both Resurrection and Rebirth.
Jesus was resurrected on the morning of the the third day...
...and all those gathered at the the first post-resurrection Penetcost...
...were 'quickened' by the Spirit...
...which was rebirth.
It is not an either/or.
So it is with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a physical body, it is raised a spiritual body.

I assure you i would not intentionaly twist anything that is biblical.
I'm not staying with you on 2 points:
What DID Jesus say about new bodies?
What did Jesus say about re-incarnation?
And no, i would not believe the vatican on anything.

I'm sorry. I don't follow your arguments at all.
Perhaps you could be clearer as to the gist of what you are trying to show? Certainly novel ideas, but you seem to include a lot of assumptions/facts i don't share.
