Suppose you killed a lot of people?

Question

Or did some other very bad stuff. Then you lost your memory and ended up in a place where no-one knew you. So you had no memory of that happening. So you become a good citizen and get a job and get married and settle down. You get born again or you become a good Catholic or a good atheist or whatever and you live a blameless life.

Then the police catch up with you and you are genuinely puzzled. You have no memory of what you did and you don't feel you should be held responsible. But they do.

Well, maybe you know what I'm getting at. Karma, reincarnation....

Is that how it works?

My question was in response to the view that is sometimes put forward that there is something "unjust" about karma. People who believe that are sometimes the same people who believe that God is going to let babies burn for ever because Adam and Eve stole a piece of fruit LOL

There are suggestions of reincarnation in the Bible. Some people thought John the Baptist was the reincarnation of Elijah. Jesus was supposed to be a reincarnation of someone or other. Also, the onlookers at Jesus' healing of the man born blind assumed he might have sinned to deserve it. Now, how could he have sinned before he was born, unless you believe in reincarnation?

Answer 1

LOL... yes thats pretty much how Karma works.

Assuming he had been an awful person and remembered each detail vividly and was caught by authorities, he would be trialed in a court of law and punished severely

but

As your story goes, he lost his memory, and changed his life around. Whether he remembered it or not, evidence of his crime exists, but while he is standing trial in court, the jury, seeing he change of attitude and having become a benevolent member of society might STILL find him guilty ( as they say in CSI - follow the evidence ) his sentence might be reduced based on that.

No Crime goes unpunished, remorse and repentence is the first step of purifyingour negative karma.... there are still 107 steps to go :)


Add: As for the Bible not teaching about reincarnation.... maybe it doesn't ... but it does hint it. Wasn't John the Baptist supposed to be the return of Prophet Elijah? Sounds pretty muchlike reincarnation to me.

Add2: The sins of the father does not fall upon the son. Ones own karma is one's own to bear. The courts are not gonna send the man's children, wife or family to the gallows for the crimes that he had commited.

Answer 2

Karma is what goes around comes around.
Reincarnation is when your soul is reborn but not necessarily in the form of a human being. You can be any living thing.
The example you just gave doesn't represent either.
Say the person killed a lot of people, then an example of karma could be that their own loved ones get killed. Reincarnation and karma I think are tied together. So if you are a murderer and you become reincarnated, you'll probably be reborn into a human being that will one day get murdered.

Actually at the "anticipated" day of doom on December seventh 2012 a couple of precise phenomenons will arise. First, each 25,800 years from our view the solar and our sun procedure will flawlessly align with the middle of our galaxy, and a few scientists feel that with this might come plenty of threats that could different sensible be protected against us. We do have a Super Massive Black gap on the middle of our galaxy and due to the fact people have now not been round lengthy sufficient to have skilled this earlier than we don't have any inspiration what is going to occur.

This signifies that over the coarse of approximately 2 hundred years(very brief so far as technology is going) our north would be the new south. This has many results on us. Compasses and Electronics receiving understanding from satellites will likely be vain, our magnetic look after will weaken throughout the difference enabling for titanic quantities of sun radiation to arrive our surroundings. This quantity of radiation will difference climates or even disrupt the traditional plate tectonics or even animal migrations. over all...there are lots of matters that COULD occur situated on the way you appear at it and who you desire to be correct. These are technology and severe chances. Even although we are not able to do so much to resolve them but, you'll be able to best get a right reply whilst you utterly cope with the crisis. The unhappy factor is that in recent times the media has been play on peoples worry of doom and making a living off of it. This is whatever to be looking however not anything to be involved approximately really but, have been nonetheless studying and that is all we will be able to do on the second.

Hello and allow me to go one better then your "suppose" cause Words kill, they are like rocks when we toss them at folks sometimes it takes years but they kill just as well so perhaps you and i have already have killed a lot of folks FOR REAL, in Gen.3:15 mankind choose to sin and choose satan as there leader, the natural results of that is death, but Jesus came to offer you life, 1 John 1:9 "IF" we confess our sins He is faithfull and just to forgive us our sins AND cleanse us from all unrighteousness, the bible teaches NO such thing as reincarnation, find out more free bible lessons www.amazingfacts.org God bless.

Answer 5

Really the person who is caught thus is in merciul state. Police will really punish him. If you speak about Karma that is an idea. A man is punished for his sins in this world and even in next life. but 2nd life is not a concept of religions accept Hindu religion.

A murderer is a murderer, once a life has been taken justice must be served.
Just because there is a memory lapse it does not excuse the fact, it would be impossible to live a blameless life.
