Reincarnation

Lately there have been a lot of religious discussions being held. I have held back my beliefs because they are controversial, even to Christians. Here is what I believe; I’m posting it online because I feel safer at the other end of these computers. Comment questions and I’ll answer them to the best of my ability.
I believe that Jesus Christ is the way to heaven. Though I don’t believe in heaven or hell in the typical sense of hell being fire and brimstone and heaven being perfect white and gold. I also believe in reincarnation. Reincarnation makes the most sense to me, it also answer the question of “what about those who don’t know about Jesus to be saved?” Reincarnation gives them the chance to come back and learn.
Now for my spill with bible references, which I believe is flawed, but over all is God’s word.
In Genesis God creates man twice, once in his image (Genesis 1:27) and then again from the dust of the ground (Genesis 2:7). I believe that the first reference to men “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” (Genesis 1:27) is when God created our souls. Later when he makes us from the ground is when he made our physical bodies.
In John 9:2 the disciples show their belief in reincarnation by asking Jesus if a man, blind from birth was blind because of his own actions. In this case Jesus tells the disciples that the man was blind for God’s glory. For the disciples to ask if someone who was blind from birth was so because of their actions shows a belief in reincarnation.
If you read Malachi 4:5 Elijah was going to come again to prepare the way for Jesus. In Matthew 11:14 Jesus says that John the Baptist is Elijah.
In 2 Peter 3:9 “He [the Lord] is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. I think this shows reincarnation because for him to be patient and want everyone to repent everyone must have the same opportunity. Reincarnation allows for the child born into an unchristian area, be it a household or a nation, to be reborn in a different situation.

My spill. Ask questions and I’ll answer best I can.
