do you believe...?

Question

that good will come to you when you do good (not for yourself) but for others. is that karma?

Answer 1

God comes in many ways. That homeless person that is asking you for a few dollars could be an angel in disguise. God does things and put people in front of you as a test to see where your faith is. I remember a story in the bible where god was dressed as a homeless person and one had helped him while the other just turned their backs on him. And there were a few more tests he had did. And in the long run he put the ones who turned away from him to shame saying that when he needed food they did not feed him etc. So you never know.

Answer 2

That would be the general belief about karma. But what I believe it is, is more of an awareness of self and surroundings.

Example, you go into a bank to cash a check, you are very preoccupied about your day, not really paying attention. So on auto-pilot, you open the door and hold it for a mother of 3, two trapsing in by hand & one in a carrier.

You are not aware of your good deed. Your day goes on, you get your money and go back to work.

But her day - her day was made easier by the kind act you performed. she thinks about your kindess and hopes she can be as kind to someone one day.

Now if your day goes well is it karma?, if it goes poorly is it bad karma and from what?

No the day goes on, by chance, by coincidence and only our awareness of what we have and have not done colors our perception of the day.

In other words - Karma is nonsense.

Answer 3

I definitely believe that what you do - for good or bad - will, eventually, come back to you. That IS karma, but it's also plain commonsense, really. If you are known to be a good, honest person who is helpful and kind, you just seem to have a much easier life than you do if you are a mean-spirited person who takes pleasure in hurting others.

Answer 4

Yes, that's what life is about helping your fellow man/woman. As they say what comes around goes around. I think you shouldn't expect a reward (good Karma) for doing good deeds, you should just want to do them.

Do it because it's the right thing to do, not to get something in return.

Answer 5

yeah that's karma. And sometimes it seems to work and sometimes it seems to not work. How can bad people get so ahead in life, someone might say. But are they really happy is the question - maybe they are alone. I think on the grand scheme if you do good for others, you are rewarded with a sense of peace in your heart.

Answer 6

I believe good comes when you do good, very often. But I don't think it's karma. I think it's human nature. If someone did good to you, you feel like doing good to them. There's nothing special about that.

Answer 7

I believe that, as God promised, I will be rewarded for how I serve God. I don't believe, though, that if I help someone out that I will automatically be entitled for "good to come to me". Karma is hindu or buddhist and it refers to something good or bad, so that is not karma.

Answer 8

yes i do believe and yes that is one aspect of karma,but so is the opposite bad returns bad karma is a wonderful thing when it works for you

Answer 9

Because the angel Gabriel advised me that Jimmy Carter will grow to be the Antichrist aka Dajjal (eighth King in Rev. 17) and he's going to serve a different time period in workplace after the loss of life of Obama (seventh king). The angel Gabriel advised me in Aug. 1973 while i used to be in Phillipsbrug, Montana that Jimmy Carter will grow to be the Anti-Christ, and that he's going to difference his identify, and divorce his spouse! Obama goes to die first after which the Anti-Christ aka Dajjal who used to be some of the earlier 7 Presidents will take his position! Rev. 17:10 And there are seven kings: 5 are fallen, and one is, [and] the opposite isn't but come; and while he cometh, he have to retain a brief house. All 7 kings have been all alive till the loss of life of Ronald Reagan June five, 2004 while George W. Bush used to be in workplace ; a million. Gerald Ford two. Jimmy Carter three. Ronald Reagan four. George H. W. Bush five. Bill Clinton 6. George W. Bush.... is spoken of within the gift demanding (and one is) due to the fact that till Reagan died (June five, 2004) all 7 have been alive! 7. Barack Obama.......and one is but to come back! He will die a couple of days after he increases taxes! Obama could also be in Dan. eleven:20 Then shall get up in his property a raiser of taxes [in] the respect of the dominion: however inside few days he might be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in wrestle. Rev. 17:eleven And the beast that used to be, and isn't, even he's the 8th, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

Answer 10

It is a belief and belief are not quantifiable. So the belief only comes true as far as you believe it. It seems more evident because it is a philosophy that cause one to do good and see the good in others.
