    Ummm... Christianity does not teach anything like Karma. You can be a ? person your whole life as long as you repent and acknowledge Christ as you're saviour, you're straight.

    Karma is based on the whole premise of reincarnation, but western cultures have twisted it into something its not.

    So cats can't believe Karma

    But can believe Sir Issac Newton's third law?

    Some people call it karma, some call it justice, and some call it "just due"

    In a world of balances and checks

    We completely disregard the possibility of karma?

    Christianity does not teach reincarnation at all.... Please, explain the scripture that hints to reincarnation.


    To a Christian, the idea of reincarnation is proposterous.

    Once you start changing the words, you start referring to something different.

    "Karma" originally refers to:
    The force generated by a person's actions held in Hinduism and Buddhism to perpetuate transmigration and in its ethical consequences to determine the nature of the person's next existence
    Karma (Sanskrit: कर्म IPA: [ˈkərmə] ( listen);[1] Pali: kamma) in Indian religions is the concept of "action" or "deed", understood as that which causes the entire cycle of cause and effect (i.e., the cycle called saṃsāra) originating in ancient India and treated in the Hindu, Jain, Buddhist and Sikh religions.[2]

    Newton's third law is objectively verifiable/testable/provable. The same is not true for the Indian reincarnation-based religious mythological concept of "karma". Because it's ? .

    no you are essentially spilling everything together. That's one thing about ignorance...it blinds

    You get out what you put in. When good people have bad things happen to them, that has nothing to do with karma. That has everything to do with an evil presence in this world that looks to inflict damage to the good ones. Again, that is completely separate from Karma and another subject. Karma does not define itself by what you just said.

    And yes christianity teaches about karma...in the bible it says "you reap what you sow"

    That's simple karma

    Listen, if you going to talk about what's in the bible, at least get your information correct. Most people who comment on the bible never even read the book.

    You'd have a better argument with the belief that we all die/have cancer/disease etc because Adam and Eve sinned and we inherited that, so in a sense that's "karma".

    It's still ? though.

    It isn't quite that simple.
