No.
Have you ever stopped and thougth about what karma is? So someone is raped. Karma says that person will then be raped, so there is another raper who must then be raped, and so begins an evil-never-ending cycle. Evil, violence, hate is perpetual and ongoing.
Christians believe that sin and evil have been defeated by Jesus Christ.
The two are complete opposites and karma is a fine example of Buddhist beliefs.

You know what I find interesting since Buddhism is a way of life and not a "religion" per se, the Buddhists wouldn't mind if you were a Christian and a Buddhists too. The Christians though wouldn't let you get past that whole "worshipping false Idols" business. Unless theyre methodist. Those cats are cool.

No. Karma is inconsistent with Christianity.

Not in the traditional Hindu sense because that form of teaching says that a person goes through multiple life cycles and that each time you are born your position is a reflection of how you lived your previous life. In the Hindu religion even their "gods" can die and become a dog or a rat in their next life.
A Christian can however recognize the parallels between the Biblical precept of "the law of the Harvest" and the Karmic concept that if you do good in this life you will be "sowing" seeds that will result in good returning to you later on.
Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. 8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

Karma can be translated into the golden rule from Christianity. Do unto others as you would have done unto you.

i dont think so. If my understanding is correct, Karma refers to the benefits or punishment you are going to receive for your present deeds in your next life or rebirth, like being born as a dog or a cat etc. Bible does not talk anything about rebirth in that sense.Of course your deeds will be judged and you would receive suitable merit or demerit, but i dont think one would be reborn in the next life as an animal for any misdeeds during this life time

I don't think so. Once you understand the thinking behind karma, you will find that the ideas behind it make the existence of God impossible.

Not across reincarnated lives.
But inside a given life, a Christian is to recognize that our actions have consequences (for good or for evil).
Cordially,
John
