Does Being a Christian Allow The Idea of Karma? [I Believe In Karma]

Perhaps, when Jesus of Nazareth talked to the crowd ready to stone to death the woman taken in adultery and said the person without a sin cast the first stone he was alluding to karma in a way.

He also set the pattern do unto others as you would have them do unto you, which is a very reflective statement insofar as to suggest the need for thought before action, and to detach both a sense of passion and your ego from a situation before you act.

Cause and effect is a pattern in kabala, Jewish mysticism, which he would very much have been versed in as a Jew and a rabbi, and having taught at the synagogue and in the temple in Jerusalem.

So, yes, the idea of karma does have a resonance for Christians of which ever denomination.

Jesus gave the best definition of karma I've ever seen--"As you sow, so shall you reap."

if Karma was real why would we need a Judgement day

@FurryFace Good question! We have that as the final test as to our true nature, and our worthiness to be the children of God.

Karma is just a deeper vedic understanding ...of what Jesus thought ..in my perspective

Even the greats Like Rudolph Steiner resonate the same understanding :)

This first bible quote seems to say so:

Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him, for what his hands have dealt out shall be done to him. Galatians 6:7

Then there's this:

Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Romans 12:19

Is it really true that to be a rabbi at the time Jesus lived you had to be married?
I guess in a way.. most basic do good go to heaven do bad go to hell.
They have some in common, but you don't need to get too deep into the complexities of both of them to realize they are incompatible
