thought i'd bring intelligent conversation back to G&S

anyway, do any of you guys believe in reincarnation and karma? And if so, are you Christian? And if you a Christian, how do you reconcile your belief in Hindu concepts of karma, reincarnation etc with believing in Christianity?

    not in the cosmic sense that a divine spirit will strike you at some point or reward you later.

    If you do bad things, bad things will likely happen to you.

    Doing good things, betters your chance good will come to you.

    Marcus Garvey believed in Christ and reincarnation, interestingly. He explained his beliefs in both in the book, Message to the People. He rejected the doctrine of hell.

    this is one of the times karma didnt work...but im sure it will.

    reincarnation...yea i believe it. having deju vu makes me think its possible.that or an alternate universe...which would be a different thread.

    easier said than proven (regarding karma)

    reincarnation - i cannot prove but i believe that it has happened (happened in the bible a few times or more)

    interesting, i got to read up more on his religious beliefs.

    I was reading articles about reincarnation and Christianity and its funny according to one group, nearly a forth of Americans believe in reincarnation, which is strange because America is mostly Christian, then atheist/agnostic, then Jewish

    Same person to tell you reincarnation isnt real

    Be the same person to tell you

    Rabbits lay eggs, and you should worship jesus

    Nigma aint never try to steer you wrong

    Look up Edgar Cayce or Jeffrey Keene.

    Karma can be described using basic physics along with reincarnation..every action has reaction..energy never dies and whatnot..religion and science go hand in hand yet kept seperate by those with nefarious plans for humanity..those that are too logical often miss the link between the two and those that are too spiritual often do the same..over time, the human mind has taught itself to overcomplicate everything,mainly due to ego..the simplest solutions are often times the most overlooked..do I believe in magic? Nah..do i believe in mathematics? Yes. And from a mathematical standpoint, every action has a reaction and death is simply the transference of energy..karma and reincarnation appear in various forms of energy..and thats what I believe in...the energy b

    Religion is a fickle thing. Most of America claim a religion for ethical and social reasons.

    Like someone said yoga is incompatible with Christianity but yet it's highly popular so we ignore it, because it's not convenient.

    Most people are religious because it's convenient,but they are not aware of this

    Im not disrespdcting or trying to change ya mind but I do want to say

    The universe is chaotic, animals eat ach other, insects tear apart plants, som.plants are poisonous

    A flower can ? you and your whold family which is scary and beautiful all at once

    I mean im not saying the bible is real but Satan was.an Angel but couldnt get along

    ? it says some angels are jealous of man

    So even in Divinity theres conflict and disagreement.

    I think you should consider that if your "naw" is due to our chaotic nature
