I'm sorry, SilentBefore, that you think I'm trying to trick you or "muddy the waters".
To be honest, my knowledge of the Bible is fairly poor, and I've only ever read translated versions, so I cannot say in absolute what was in the original version. All I said was that "some scholars think".
Conversely however, you seem to consider yourself an expert on Scientology, despite your sources being extremely dubious.
At least my views of Christianity are not based on www.christianity-hatred.org and www.lies-about-christianity.net.
Not everything you read on the net, or in newspapers and books, is true.

"essence of the beliefs" - that's funny!
The essence of the beliefs is that you are an immortal spiritual being. And that's it.
You don't have to believe everything you read, you know!

Also, perhaps SilentBefore ought to take a look at these links, as some scholars think that the early Christian Bible did indeed contain references to past lives ...

I've been a Scientologist for 10 years now. I know several people who are studying courses in Scientology and who also attend a Christian church of some kind on Sundays. I also know Hindus, Buddhists and Muslims who have studied Scientology. In London, we've also had a lot of success through groups such as Foundation for Religious Tolerance and also Religions Working Together. These groups promote inter-faith charitable activities.
I've also attended a sermon given by a Baptist minister, hosted at a Church of Scientology.
At the end of the day, the only way to find out if to look with your own eyeballs. Just because someone claims something, doesn't make it true.
Whilst I don't doubt the integrity of true Christians, I think there exists liars who also claim to be Christian.
