Karma, Folk Beliefs, Luck (Karma, Pamahiin, at Swerte)

If you believe in God, you shouldn’t believe in karma.
If you believe in Jesus Christ, and call yourself a Christian,
You shouldn’t believe in Buddhist’ and Hindu’s principle.
Karma is based on the theological belief in reincarnation.
First, the Bible doesn’t support reincarnation.
Christians believe that we only have one life here on Earth.
And after that, eternal life - whether - in eternal heaven or eternal hell.
Second, the Bible teaches the principle of sowing and reaping.
You will reap what you sow.
You will harvest what you planted.
If you believe in Jesus Christ, you shouldn’t believe in karma.
If you believe in Jesus Christ, you shall believe all of His teachings.
You shall not mix His teachings with karma just to fit your judgment and actions.
If you know that you have been sowing bad things,
It’s not too late, repent and turn your back from those bad things.
It won’t guarantee that what you planted will not grow.
But what it guarantees is the reaping you shall get eternally will be altered,
Because Jesus reaped the punishment for you in the cross already.
Repent and be baptized. Be forgiven and stop and start.
Stop sowing bad things. Start sowing good things.
If you are using karma to judge others, stop!
Because if you believe in Jesus, and in all of His teachings,
You shall understand that judging others is not our job.
We are called to be a witness,
And it is our job to extend the grace we received from God
To all people, whether, good or bad sowers.

If you believe in God, you shouldn’t believe in folk beliefs.
Folk beliefs were acquired from folk religion teachings.
If you believe in Jesus Christ, and call yourself a Christian,
You shouldn’t believe in folk religion/s.
Folk believes are the things that we should be commenting “Oh come on, it’s already 2017.”
Not the truth, not the Bible, because God’s word is constant, unchanging.
Folk beliefs are filled up with “sympathetic” magic and superstition.
These things will have an effect on you or your actions if you put your faith in it.
As for Jesus, whether you have faith in Him or not, God’s word will still stand.
If you believe in Jesus Christ, you shouldn’t believe in folk beliefs.
If you believe in Jesus Christ, you shall believe all of His teachings.
You shall not mix His teachings with folk beliefs just to fit your judgment and actions.
What God requires of you is faith in Him,
That He alone can save,
And not your superstitious mixed belief in Him.


If you believe in God, you shouldn’t believe in luck.
If you believe in Jesus Christ, and call yourself a Christian,
You shall believe that all events in our life is God-ordained.
Not by chance, or doesn’t directed by the laws of nature.
Even the result of coin tossed or dice rolled is God’s decision.
If you believe in Jesus Christ, you shouldn’t believe in luck.
If you believe in Jesus Christ, you shall believe all of His teachings.
You shall not mix His teachings with luck just to fit your judgment and actions.
Whether God caused something to happen or allowed something to happen
You shall trust that God in His sovereignty still has the last words in everything.
