Exploring Karma



Being confronted by a rating system based on (Good) or (Bad) "Karma", I'm forced to think about what this means and how it affects others.  The conclusion quickly becomes apparent:  Karma is someone else's opinion on how good or bad you are.

In a world where "good" is beginning to mean the loss of liberty, and "good" means using perverse sexual activity as a basis for marriage, etc., it's difficult to see how a Karma rating system can be valid; unless the word "karma" is used as a symbolic label.

In fact, the only way to have a meaningful concept of karma, there must be a judge who is pure, unaffected by change and societal whims.  This judge must be aloof from the blowing winds of cultural opinion and must know true goodness and, I daresay, true holiness.

Such an One exists.  How is your "karma" with Him?

"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." Col. 2:8
