Yes, I do! I believe that karma is natural cause and effect. Whatever we do sets things in motion and we will have to live out the consequences, whether it is good or bad.

There are many problems with the salvation-by works doctrine of reincarnation. First, there are many practical problems. For example:
1. We must ask, why does one get punished for something he or she cannot remember having done in a previous life?
2. If the purpose of karma is to rid humanity of its selfish desires, then why hasn't there been a noticeable improvement in human nature after all the millennia of reincarnations?
3. If reincarnation and the law of karma are so beneficial on a practical level, then how do advocates of this doctrine explain the immense and ever-worsening social and economic problems - including widespread poverty, starvation, disease, and horrible suffering - in India, where reincarnation has been systematically taught through out its history?
There are also many biblical problems with believing in reincarnation. For example, in 2 Corinthians 5:8 the apostle Paul states, "We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord." At death, the, the Christian immediately goes into the presence of the Lord, not into another body. In keeping with this. Luke 16:19-31 tells us that unbelievers at death go to a place of suffering, not into another body.
Further, Hebrews 9:27 assures us that "man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment." Each human being LIVES ONCE as a mortal on earth, DIES ONCE, and then FACES JUDGMENT. He does not have a second chance by reincarnating into another body.

I don't believe in karma but that we do reap what we sow. The reason I say I don't believe in karma is because it is a philosophy that doesn't personally direct us by wisdom, mercy, love, and infinite power to do good instead of evil.

i believe that what is going round comes round, not a lot on Karma. concepts you, that's not continuously like that. each and every now and then the bullied youthful ones suicide previously they actually have a chance of revenge. and typically it is going incorrect and the bullies finally end up with each and every thing. yet what takes position maximum circumstances is that (like me) the bullied baby swears he receives revenge on that man or woman, and it takes position on a a lot larger scale than human beings frequently imagine. that's victory interior the right to the nerd or bullied one.

Absolutely. (It is even referenced in the Bible "what you reap, so shall ye sow.") Karma is the only logical explanation as to why "bad things happen to good people" and why we are all born into such diverse circumstances.

Yes, it's actually a universal law. What you put out, comes back to you. Our thoughts and emotions are both energy...you dish out negativity and you'll get negativity in return, as with positivity.

Their case is the like the case of the people of Pharaoh and those before them; they rejected our Signs; So God punished them for their sins, and God is severe in punishing.
