According to Merriam-webster, the word "Karma" was first used in 1827 by Buddhists and Hinduists whio described an ethical subjected principle that says "you reap what you sow ".
They held that there is a force generated by a person's actions which has ethical consequences to determine the nature of the person's next existence(even up to the person's after-life).

Certainly, going by human natural experiences, this ethical principle called Karma has been proven valid and is responsible for the many fortunes and misfortunes we go through today in our lives.
For instance, a man who send his child to school(formally or informally) may end up having the child becoming wealthy and knowledgeable, and the one who refuses to send his child to school may have the child battling poverty in the future and put the blame to some witches and wizards in village.

But what does the bible say about Karma, do Christians believe that this principle still have effect to their after-life even after they die?

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

This also suggest that the old creature died away the day you died, and you are now a new being not having the sins of your past life inputed in you.

Paul says in Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I NOW live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Obviously,according these scriptures if Karma is anything to go by, it ends abruptly the day you die as a Christian, but the effects thereafter lives on even up to generations
Go and ask Ike Ekweremmadu this question.

Whatever he tells you is the correct answer.

Karma exist, it's not superstition.
Karma is one of the principles on which this earth was founded. The bible supports karma. I may not quote exactly but few references
"Give and it shall be given onto you", "he that kills by the sword, dies by the sword".

Most scientific principle was adopted from the law of karma "for every action, there's equal and opposite reaction".

Karma exist, don't misquote or misinterpret the bible

Re: Karma, Does It Exist? by Sapiosexuality(m): 9:02am On May 07, 2023
Not in the way we understand it, I think. Maybe karma is simply the balancing of our actions in the environment we committed the act. The Karma for our politicians stealing us blind and escaping justice is returned as the effects of criminality and the absence of justice. In other words, hunger, injury to many, low quality of life and injustice and emancipation of the society.

Because you think Karma is only death.

Death is not the worse thing to happen to life by the way.

I'm broke and depressed, can't live any longer.
Being born in Nigeria is my greatest undoing.
I cursed the day I am born into this world.

Why is life so difficult and so unfair for a common man. I can't even feed, don't have what to eat and always struggle to afford food.
It's better to die, at least all pains and poverty will be gone.
All friends and family that refuse to help me while alive will be able to do fake love.

There is no God.
There is no karma
If there's God, bad people will not be enjoying while morally upright persons will be suffering.

I am really suffering
Please, there's God. Please,do any menial jobs at least to feed yourself and pray to God. A lot of people are also passing through a lot too. I know of a friend who was sacked in a bank and couldn't get any meaningful thing for ten years. Very depressed but hoping in God. Today he's is over three years in US doing great. Everyone has his time to move. Sometimes a car get stuck in a mud but will later move either being removed or find it's way out. Believe in God Almighty.

Re: Karma, Does It Exist? by seunayeni(m): 9:08am On May 07, 2023
Truth is I really cannot say if it does because alot of people do terrible things and they get away with it, well probably they get rewarded with their own coin later later in life oo, or probably it's their children who reap the bad which they've sown but most times they get away with it.Just take a look at Nigerian Politicians...my Opinion though
Re: Karma, Does It Exist? by penearth(m): 9:09am On May 07, 2023
Bros it exist. Look back in d scripture. Jesus said 'He who kill by d sword SHALL go by the same sword . Jesus also said: what u sow is what u reap

Karma exist !

Many repercussions of human behavior often return either in present or future earth life.

When you abuse the law of karma, then repercussions is inevitable.

For instance, a thief who stole from a fellow human being will one day be caught up in the web of karma either in this earth life or future earth life.

If karma doesn't exist as many insinuate today, then where is justice?

Just as a good man anticipate harvest for good deeds, similarly the evil minded man should expect severe repercussions for the evil he initiated in one way or the other.

Re: Karma, Does It Exist? by StPete:
Karma doesn’t freaking exist

Tell me how someone who in his early years was a drug baron and after so many years still forged ahead to run for presidency and dubiously won. Where is karma in all of these?

Or is it the General who sent a letter bomb that killed a journalist and up till today, the said General is still alive and no court has questioned him nor has he died by the same letter bomb (judging from the saying: he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword)


Karma only affects poor people ask Putin

Re: Karma, Does It Exist? by SMARTMOTORS(m): 9:19am On May 07, 2023
Yes it does.. because Even as Paul was converted to Christ he still spent the rest of his life in jail..he is the only Apostle that wrote almost all his books in jail...Paul killed many in the past and persecuted the people of Christ for years

Onyiiobi7735:
Yes,Karma exists, and is one of the greatest laws that govern this universe.It entails sowing and reaping.Even the Bible points to the law in Galatians 6:7(Be not deceived;God is not mocked:for whatsoever a man soweth,that shall he also reap).
Karma is as real as the physical world, and can visit in diverse forms and at any given point in time.
Please don't quote the bible if you must make sense in this discourse. Not everyone in the world is a Christian.

but it never visist the rest of the wicked politicians so it doesn't exist
Re: Karma, Does It Exist? by reiddecuti: 9:20am On May 07, 2023
Karma is justice served by men. And if men refused to serve justice to the evil ones (just as it is in Nigeria) then there's no karma.

Was formal DSP to be in Nigeria, he would have worked free the sin he was accused of but he was in a country where laws are upheld.
