Is it unChristian to believe in karma?

Answer 1

The Golden Rule is the Christian version of Karma!

Answer 2

1. Hinduism & Buddhism: The total effect of a person's actions and conduct during the successive phases of the person's existence, regarded as determining the person's destiny.
2. Fate; destiny.
3. Informal A distinctive aura, atmosphere, or feeling: There's bad karma around the house today.
[Sanskrit, deed, action that has consequences,

Anyway you look at it, karma involves actions. Actions are based on choice, choice is a gift given by God. It is not wrong to believe that your actions will affect someone else either in the negative or the positive.

Answer 3

Yes it is very unChristian to believe in Karma. Karma comes from Hinduism which is an occult and not biblical. To accept one theory is an open door for other occult ideas to invade your mind-

Answer 4

While the specific concept of karma is not Christian, the idea of reaping what you sow is. That's basically what karma is about. When you send out good things (verbally, physically, emotionally), you will have good things come back to you, and vice versa. Please don't misunderstand, though. Doing good things is NOT how you get to heaven. The only way is through the ABC's....Admit you are a sinner, Believe that Jesus is God's Son and that He died to pay the price for your sins, Commit your life to God by making him Lord of your life (giving Him complete control). Read Romans, then the Gospel of John.

Answer 5

No, not at all.

That was one of the biggest messages of Jesus Christ...the fact that karma exists, and what you should do to deal with it in order to better yourself.

God said the old laws (an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth), were irelevant. Those old laws are silly in terms of karma. If you constantly try to repay bad for bad, it will be a never ending cycle of having bad things done to you.

Jesus taught to repay evil with good ("Love thy enemies...", "Turn the other cheek...", "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". ) That way, eventually, if you always do good to others, no matter what they do you, by the law of karma ("As you sow, so shall you reap") a whole lot of good things will happen to you :)

It's perfectly fine to believe in karma. Heck, I even think reincarnation is in the bible too (in order to further justify the need for karma), but many Christians deny it or try to talk around it. It's okay though.

Answer 6

It depends on which version of Christianity you subscribe to: the version where good works can earn you heaven or the version where you can sin all your life, make a perfect act of contrition right before you die, and be welcomed happily at the Pearly Gates. The second version has no room for karma in it, because karma is essentially the spiritual/physical law of cause and effect. On the other hand, perhaps karma is still in effect because the cause of being welcome in heaven is the act of contrition.

So I guess I don't know.

Answer 7

Depends on which school you follow. The concept of karma is built in each religion - it is reward for you good deeds / punishment for bad ones, the variation is in what the reward / punishment would be; its duration and whe it would be due. Karma is just a name for the concept that was not named in Christianity but still existed.

Answer 8

Christians traditionally believe that people do NOT get what they deserve, which is the direct opposite of karma. For instance, if you believe Jesus' death was sufficient to pay for your sins, then you are not getting what you deserve: hell. On the other hand, if you live a fantastic life but do not become a Christian, then God will send you to hell for not only your sins, but the sins of your fathers.

Answer 9

Christians dont believe in Karma, and will spit at its mention..

However, they have a system known as "what you sow is what you will reap"

.....Which is an exact mirror of the idea of karma, same thing as the wiccan's three fold rule (what you send out comes back three times)

Furhter proof of how uneducated, unwise, and spoonfed the christian community is.

Answer 10

The term "you reap what you sow" is from the christian bible (but in much more flowery language). That means that you get what you give...what goes around comes around..and that my friend is the same philosophy as Karma.

Wow I see a lot of ridiculous and dead brain answers from people explaining how it is unchristian. Your arguments have no merit. Occult....GMAB!
