Below, I leave an excellent comment, posted on the Espiritismo de Verdade channel on YouTube, by my friend Antonio AG:
“"Friar Gilson needs to study the Bible better, which he claims to know so well, because when Jesus was accused by the priests (coincidence?) of having his miracles performed by the devil, He responded with a masterful syllogism!"
He taught that a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand, that if Satan casts out Satan, the kingdom will be divided against itself and will destroy itself.
The formula that Jesus gave for recognizing Good and Evil is to analyze the fruits of the tree: a good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and vice versa, nor can brackish water flow from a good spring.
It is necessary to see what fruits Spiritism produces. What do good Spirits teach and practice? Are their fruits good or bad? So as not to judge according to appearance, but rather with righteous judgment, as He advised us to do with all things.

The friar needs to study the Bible independently, not through the blurred lens of Catholicism, but to ascertain what it truly teaches and what it does NOT teach!
On the other hand, when the friar claims that the Bible does not teach the concept of past lives (which allows for return through reincarnation), observe what Jesus teaches in the episode of the man born blind:
When they asked Him who had sinned so that the man was BORN BLIND—his parents or the blind man himself—He answered that neither the blind man nor his parents had sinned so that he was born that way, but that the blindness from birth would be an instrument for the manifestation of God's glory in the person of the blind man!
The starting point of the blind man's life was being BORN blind, and the verb "to sin" is in the past tense, preceding the blind man's birth! Need I draw you a picture?
And note that Jesus, because of the great responsibility of his mission, never missed an opportunity to correct erroneous and dangerous beliefs.
In the episode with the Sadducees, who believed in nothing beyond this material life, the Master warned them that they were greatly mistaken because they did not know the Scriptures or the power of God. This is the problem of many Christians and their priests: not knowing the Scriptures.
It is necessary to dare and know how to question one's own beliefs, Friar Gilson. Leave the comfort zone of denominational Catholicism and immerse yourself in the pure Gospel!
"If Spiritism were that deceptive and evil doctrine that the friar claims, Jesus would certainly have condemned the Jewish belief in reincarnation at that time!"”
