Not at my personal disposal, by any means. The fact of “guilt” or “innocence” in the fate of any individual, as a philosophical question, is far beyond my poor capability to reason or understand. The Lord moves in mysterious ways, and sometimes, to the observer, the motives may be too dark to grasp.
And borrowing the concept of karma is not in and of itself a bad thing. There is no such thing as a “pure” Christianity.
But there is faith, even optimism, in the face of oppression and doubt. We may only emulate, to the best of our means, and if we fail, as we surely shall, grace may yet be shed upon us. Piety and obedience are still recognized in the end.
If it’s far beyond your reasoning, how did you come to the conclusion God smote all those people over Erdogan being a jerk about Sweden and Finland joining NATO?
Yes, if you are a Christian, borrowing the concept of Karma from Buddhism is a bad (and stupid) thing — unless you are one of those make-up-your-own-religion-to-suit-your-fancy New Ager types. Then any old mishmash goes.
Christianity is all about redemption. Not so Karma. Read your C.S. Lewis (if you think you are Christian rather than New Age). He explained it well. The wheel of Karma can never be broken, just goes on and on. Think about it.
You contradict yourself a lot in that post. You do realize that?
