Anon, your post is a red flag that tells me you have absolutely no idea what karma is.

It's an eastern religious concept, most common associated with Hinduism and Buddhism.

Karma, rather than having any influence on your current life, is rather the determining factor of your next life. That is, Karma is part of the eastern cycle of reincarnation.

So, no. Karma is not part of God's justice, because Karma is a falsehood.

No, its an abominable concept?

Is God "Just" by human standards, when He payed those workers that arrived late same price as to the workers that arrived earlier?

God's Justice is His everlasting Mercy. Concept of Karma is a degenerate Dharmic teaching that must cease to exist.

When OP put karma I do not think he meant the eastern asian version of it. I think he meant the basic concept of what goes around comes around, which i believe in.

If you fuck with someone, you're gonna get fucked with.

Or perhaps I'm wrong and I've simply been applying confirmation bias whenever something unfortunate happened to myself and i automatically think of a time i did something similarly wrong and attribute it to that

No, First of all

>Is God "Just" by human standards, when He payed those workers that arrived late same price as to the workers that arrived earlier?

No, Gods Justice, is His Mercy. Why is this important to us? Because Humans should be like God ("be ye perfect"), which means that we must be as just as merciful as He is. This is why we must love our enemies and bless those that curse us.

Newtonian F1=-F2 doesnt apply to Humans.

Even in the dumb, bastardized karma = "bad things happen to those who do bad and good things happen to those who do good" system it's basically heresy. What bad did Christ do? What bad did all the Christian martyrs do?

>>575556

As Christ says, "the sun rises on the good and evil alike"

Bad things happen to good people, good things happen to bad people. Kharma, dharma, and the basis for indulgences is all BS

One cannot believe in karma if he believes Jesus sacrificed himself to absolve us of our sins. Christianity is antithetical to karma.

Christ himself said, "He who lives by it shall die by it." When he was younger, like all Judean carpenters at the time, built crosses for the Romans when commissioned. Thus, for 30 years, Christ lived by the cross. Then he died by it.

No, a bastardized version of eastern "karma" without reincarnation would be "you reap what you sow".

See:

2 Corinthians 9:6 and Galatians 6:7 among others
