Chaney3,
Karma (Sanskrit: कर्म; IPA: [ˈkərmə] ( listen); Pali: kamma) means action, work or deed; it also refers to the spiritual principle of cause and effect where intent and actions of an individual (cause) influence the future of that individual (effect).
In other words what you do will come back at you. I don't know that there is a set time to it. If you do good, it will come back to you. Same if you do bad it will come back to you. This is how I understand KARMA.

Karma is both good and bad actions. A Hindu is faced with the same requirements as a Christian. Lead a good life, be a good person. Commit sin, pay the price for that sin.
The only real difference is that Christianity expects you to do this in one life, while Hinduism an endless amount of incarnations.

Goad,
There are those who believe even in other religions that we go through this life many times as different people, sometimes even animals.
I'm am Roman Catholic , but don't go to church. Doesn't mean I don't believe in a higher being, or pray. Just that I found the catholics to be a bunch of hypocrites. I am sure they are not all like that just many of the ones I met.
I would like to think it is possible we go on in another life or some form of life. There is only one way we find out. No one has come back to let us know, unless we get into mediums. Then that starts a whole new conversation.

Originally posted by divegeester By the way, is this thread about you regretting your last year of posting here?
Not at all.
I was have a lighthearted, not so serious discussion with someone about karma. We all know the 'good and bad' aspect of karma, but time frame is questionable.
By the way, you continue to prove your fake Christianity with every post you make.
