past lives/reincarnation question

Why do various religions have such a problem with past lives and reincarnation? They preach about resurrection and the bible says how angels and god come to visit certain writers of the bible. People though say that they're believers but have such a hard time with the idea of a past life or a spiritual visitation from a loved one?

My mother and others in my family think I'm an absolute kook or I've gone to the devil and developed evil tendencies because I talk about a past life or my spirit guide. I just wondered about a church who promotes spirituality and faith cannot accept people who have obviously have had a previous life and they have such strong memories of it.

My spirit guide has made several visitations to me in dreams, and I just can't believe a church would call me evil because of believing in his existance when he's made himself totally known to me. Knowing that he's there has really helped me along in the last few months.

I just wondered why the church is so deadset against it? Especially considering all the stuff that's actually in the bible.

I would ask that you post a link to it rather than an actual message if it is as large as you say.
