They gave someone 10years imprisonment you said that is a karma, for all his bad deeds? Karma should be thunder striking him to death in the market place. And it is just because it happened in the UK, if na Nigeria do, u think say he go go jail. Jail for UK sef better pass the life wey most Nigerians are living here. Austineva: 8 Likes 1 Share |

Whether you believe in Karma or not... It changes nothing... Belief system is like the wind ( its just there and adds nothing to human). E.g I believe in miracles, believing in it doesn't add anything to me, I don't believe in it, it doesn't add anything to me.... All I know is we are all living to Die..... 1 Like |

paxonel: You used the word MAY. It already renders your example moot as to Karma. And did you just say you'll become a new creature and the former actions are now rendered invalid? In society, depends on the extent of the degradable action else, jail terms await you if you're ever found out. To be candid, any so-called born again should own up and report himself to the necessary authorities and see if the actions of the past creature will affect the new creature... Ah, if you mean when someone dies, it applies to everyone, Christian or not. Death ends it all. Only very few gets recycled with same elements. What does this ancestor even know about your belief systems? Since my disillusionment, I've never bothered to look back. 2 Likes |

Re: Karma, Does It Exist? by Winters23: 9:30am On May 07, 2023 |
Wagwanbrethren: Karma is a concept that has become increasingly popular in recent times. The idea of karma has its roots in Hinduism and Buddhism, where it is believed that one's actions in this life will determine the quality of their next life. The concept of karma has gained popularity among people who are looking for an explanation for why good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people. However, despite its popularity, karma is not real. Here are several reasons why this is the case. First of all, the concept of karma is not scientific. There is no empirical evidence that supports the idea that our actions in this life will have an impact on our next life. While some people may argue that they have experienced the effects of karma in their own lives, there is no way to prove that these experiences are the result of karma rather than luck or coincidence. Secondly, the idea of karma ignores the role of external factors in shaping people's lives. In reality, people's lives are shaped by a wide range of factors that are beyond their control, including their genetics, their socio-economic status, and the circumstances they were born into. While our actions can certainly play a role in our lives, they are not the only determining factor in our success or failure. Thirdly, the concept of karma can be harmful. It can lead people to believe that those who are suffering deserve their suffering because they must have done something to deserve it. This can lead to victim-blaming and a lack of compassion for those who are struggling. It can also lead to a lack of action to address social injustices, as people may believe that individuals who are suffering are simply experiencing the effects of their own karma. In conclusion, while the concept of karma may be appealing to some, it is not a real phenomenon. Our lives are shaped by a wide range of factors, and our actions are only one part of the equation. Believing in karma can be harmful and can lead to a lack of empathy and action to address social injustices. As such, it is important to approach the concept of karma with a healthy dose of skepticism and to focus on doing good in the here and now rather than worrying about the effects on some hypothetical future life. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Corridon: No it does. The problem is in the context. It's also a natural law and Sir Newton puts it this. For every action, there's always a reaction, but this ancestor says it's not necessarily opposite to the applied force, that's where context comes in. Evil people as you judge might know more than you do and the application of their said knowledge is why they progress as you judge. Morning |

People think karma means doing good then someone will do you good, or doing evil then evil will befall you. If you help someone and that person praises and gives thanks to you, don’t you feel inner happiness? You’ve already reaped it instantly! |

paxonel:You're correct,peps are getting it all wrong here.karma is the consequecies of your actions, it's not about God's punishment.its a universal law. Ekweremadu was not sentenced to jail for 10years because he stole Nigeria commonwealth but because he was trying to harvest the kidney of an innocent lad without his consent and knowledge. 1 Like |

Wagwanbrethren: My brother, many ideas from long ago are being misrepresented with meanings they shouldn't have. Based on your reasons, this ancestor agrees with you and yet finds it hard to accept entirely. I'm that undecided on some matters....lols If you look at life, you'll find that we're mostly reacting to this and that since birth. Since the first elusive action of reality every other thing in existence is just a reaction. Your birth, your actions, your death. Even deadbody dey react to the environment. Many cause lies within these reactions we all take part in, but it's all crazy ideas here and there. Make we Siddon one day drink together and talk bro. So that I'll finally make you lost...

Re: Karma, Does It Exist? by correctguy101(m): 9:59am On May 07, 2023 |
Wagwanbrethren: Karma does not believe. People believe. Karma has no business with good and bad. It's just a reply to an action. Whether positive or negative, as long as there be a reply, that's karma. If there's no reaction, well that's also karma but then it's called No Karma. Lord Isaac Newton says there's an equal and opposite reaction to every action but this ancestor says it's not necessarily equal or opposite. A reaction is all there'll be for the event to be crowned as KARMA. |

Karma doesn't exist as we perceive it to be. Man's life is determined largely by God's will. Even Jesus a good man was killed and before his death, he asked God if this cup can be taken from him, but ultimately, let GOD'S WILL prevail. This is simply how our lives is determined. |

[quote author=paxonel post=122916846]According to Merriam-webster, the word "Karma" was first used in 1827 by Buddhists and Hinduists whio described an ethical subjected principle that says "you reap what you sow ". They held that there is a force generated by a person's actions which has ethical consequences to determine the nature of the person's next existence(even up to the person's after-life). Karma do exist, as for the scripture emphasis that, what ever a man sow, so shall he/she reap it, as a man what so ever Evil you committed, it does not necessary mean you shall face the consequences on this earth, it maybe after death Certainly, going by human natural experiences, this ethical principle called Karma has been proven valid and is responsible for the many fortunes and misfortunes we go through today in our lives. For instance, a man who send his child to school(formally or informally) may end up having the child becoming wealthy and knowledgeable, and the one who refuses to send his child to school may have the child battling poverty in the future and put the blame to some witches and wizards in village. But what does the bible say about Karma, do Christians believe that this principle still have effect to their after-life even after they die? 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. This also suggest that the old creature died away the day you died, and you are now a new being not having the sins of your past life inputed in you. Paul says in Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I NOW live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Obviously,according these scriptures if Karma is anything to go by, it ends abruptly the day you die as a Christian, but the effects thereafter lives on even up to generations Karma do exist, as for the scripture emphasis that, what ever a man sow, so shall he/she reap it, as a man what so ever Evil you committed, it does not necessary mean you shall face the consequences on this earth, it maybe after death |
