Save Israel

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

From Bishop M:

I'm curious Sofiyaa. I only know a bit about Islam, but do they believe in Karma? Or were you just rambling?

There is that concept, in both the Old and New Testaments, of “As Ye Sow, So Shall Ye Reap”.

For instance, Job 4:8,

"According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity, and those who sow trouble harvest it."

From which Paul refers in Galatians 6:7-8 as,

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Agreed. It is quite easy to read Karma woven throughout the OT/NT. However, it is not a part of Christian Dogma...but at least us Catholics entertain it with our belief in Purgatory. Personally, I don't believe in living out our karma in multiple lives but I do believe that we do reap what we sow in this life...

I had never thought this to be a part of Islamic dogma though which is why I thought I would ask Sofiyaa (or any other person of Islamic faith)

Peace and Blessings to VJ,
