Because, karma is about fairness. And romans 2:6 pretty much says that fairness is enforced by making each person pay for what they do.
But fairness is subjective, and a word search of any English language bible for the word "Fair" is very telling regaring Christianity and "fairness".Because, karma is about fairness. And romans 2:6 pretty much says that fairness is enforced by making each person pay for what they do.
IMHO grace is not fair. We don't pay, for Jesus paid it all.Because, karma is about fairness. And romans 2:6 pretty much says that fairness is enforced by making each person pay for what they do.
Theres only one true meaning to the word fair and its referring to balanceBut fairness is subjective, and a word search of any English language bible for the word "Fair" is very telling regaring Christianity and "fairness".
I think it's squishier than that. Here is what a dictionary has to say: Definition of FAIRTheres only one true meaning to the word fair and its referring to balance

Why? And do you believe in reincarnation?

I thought that was "embroiled". Here is a fun one: Find an old dictionary from WWII or earlier and look up "computer". Yep. It's in there, but the definition is, um, different.I like that dictionary; specially that first entry, was close to what I call a "usage dictionary" which is what I always wished I had. There are many words I am familiar with, which aren't even in most dictionaries, and words that I know mean more than just what the readily available (online) dictionaries show. One such word is 'economy', which can designate the framework, worldview, 'realm'. 'universe' or 'reality' from which one operates, and not be a reference to efficiency or anything to do with money. Such as: "God's economy is not like ours".
Another word I have heard used, but can't seem to find anywhere is "enroiled" which means something along the lines of 'totally involved with or in' or 'swept away by' as though by a rolling wave. I have said things like, "The human will of the Redeemed is totally enroiled in the work of God."
HA YES! You are right about 'computer'! I remember that from even in the 1950's. "A computist is a calculator"!I thought that was "embroiled". Here is a fun one: Find an old dictionary from WWII or earlier and look up "computer". Yep. It's in there, but the definition is, um, different.
