I know people who believe in Karma believe this, but as a Christian do you believe this as well?

After a fashion...
Christ teaches that a man reaps what he sows, if you sow evil (of the flesh nature) you will reap evil, if you sow of the spirit, you will reap rewards of the spirit.
I do suppose that in a way it is kharmic in definition, though karma has some type of universal force behind it, whereas reap what you sow is more of an action/punishment(reward) theme to it.

For each motion there's a response (physics), the earth seams flat however should you head north you'll ultimately emerge as on the equal location, math revolves round this as good (checking our answerer's via operating in opposite order places us again have been we began). Although you throw a rock ahead it is going to now not come again round which is sensible, however there's reality to the announcing "what is going round comes round" usually its fine that it does and usually its the worst factor, considering what might come round might be one hundred occasions the enter (movements and reactions).

No, yes. well...
We reap what we sow. If a teen has unprotected sex she will likely get pregnant. If one gets drunk and drives they will likely get in an accident.
But we Christians believe in sin. And "all sin and fall short of the glory of God." Since all sin Jesus, in his great love for us, died on the cross as a sin offering to God the father. And anyone that believes and follows his teachings will go to heaven as a son/daughter of God, without sin.
So we get what we don't deserve, heaven.

The Bible warns us not to rejoice when evil comes upon our enemies, because we are not without sin our selves and if we do not repent of them, God may at some time punish us with the same evil, because the Bible also says that how you judge you will be judged, and also - if you do not forgive you will not be forgiven.

Yep - it goes both ways - whether you do good or do bad to others.
Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Matt 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Yes, karma! If you do something that you know you shouldn't do, it will turn around and bite you in the butt.

Yes, but the Bible makes it clear to us that retribution for evil done to God's children doesn't necessarily happen in this life; if the one who's transgressed against us doesn't repent to God, they will face His judgement when they die or when Messiah returns, whichever happens first.

Yes it is in the bible," You reap what you sow", which would be the same as what comes around goes around

I believe in them term " You reap what you sow". Sodom reaped what they sowed and burning reigned down on that city. jerusalem sowed corruption and reaped the babylonians destroying them. So if you sow evil ... you see reap evil!!

I believe that we all get what we deserve at some point whether it be in this life or the after-life.
