    Hear the Words of the LORD:

    Luk 6:27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,

    Luk 6:28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

    Luk 6:29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also.

    Luk 6:30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.

    Luk 6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

    Luk 6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.

    Luk 6:33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.

    Luk 6:34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.

    Luk 6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

    Luk 6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

    Luk 6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

    Luk 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.

    This is what Jesus thought of "karma".

    It is "you reap what you sow".

    It is how GOD created the Earth.

    It works everytime.

    It is Truth, and all truth is parallel.

    What goes around comes around--and karma are just parallel truths of The Truth.

    Spiritual laws make reaping what you have sown--work.

    You reap what you sow, "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Gal 6:7 KJV. And "According to their way I will do to them, and according to their own judgments I will judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD." Ezekiel 7:27b RSV

    i think it's karma. had lots of ppl screw me over in different ways over the yrs and they always got back worse than what they gave. definitely, what goes around comes around, sometimes u have to wait awhile for the satisfaction but you always get it.

    To me this is like the Golden Rule, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If I got something in a dishonest way I would lose it all plus more. If I make fun of someone, I could one day be just like them.

  • The Bible talks about reaping what you sow. Also, you can tell a tree by the fruit it bears. I believe Confucius said, "Life is a circle."

    It is karma, there are no Scriptures to back it up and it's not a Christian idea, nor is if or anything like it to be found in any of our Holy Scriptures.
