KARMA originated from ancient pagan religious teaching which refers to all acts, words and thoughts of one life, supposed to determine a person’s fate in his next stage of existence. Karma is always refers to bad fate which results from evil deeds, thoughts and words.

Karma today is defined as divine requital or retribution for evil done to another person. It portrays God as a “Terminator” of wicked people who abused, withhold justice, or plotted mischief against another

God is perfectly righteous and just in everything and if He is going to kill or exterminate all the wicked, then this planet will be empty of human being. For all have sinned.

Divine discipline is executed against the carnal believer who ignores the Word of God not because of their sins. Divine judgment is executed against unbeliever who rejected the Gospel of Christ not because of their evil deeds.

A wayward person will accumulate self-made miseries for him to suffer in as much, he made other suffers. Majority of our miseries are self-made not from God or from the Devil.

 Jesus Christ died for the sins of the entire human race. He died for the sins of every human being in every generation in every place. He paid it in full –no sin is excluded.

God is not in business of punishing for their sins because there is nothing (sin of men) which Christ did not include in His death.

A person who violates the Laws of Divine Establishment and the Laws of the land will suffer the consequence of his action [Romans 13:4].

Karma is outside the essence and personality of God. God is not happy about the death of evil people. God will destroy his enemies not our enemies [Nahum 1:2].

God will judge the believers in time by divine discipline [1 Corinthians 3:11-15, Hebrews 10:30, 12:6-8].

God will also judge all the unbelievers at the same time in the Great White Throne judgment at the end of the 1000 years reigns of Christ [Revelation 20:11-15].

God is not punishing anyone on earth because of his evil deeds. The misery of a person is always the result of previous bad decisions or evil deeds he made.

Deuteronomy 32:35-43 is a promise given to the Jews under the curse and blessing clause [Genesis 12:3] and not to us. God will destroy all the anti-Jews or anti-Semitics, not our personal enemies.

Karma is outside the nature, character and personality of God. God solved the problem of man, namely sins because there is no way we can solve it. Would God punish men because of something He already dealt with?

Karma cultivates fear in the hearts of the ignorant and deceived. It distorts the truth of God’s Word and enslaved many into human good.

Although karma encourage good deeds yet in the eyes of God it does more harm than good- it deceives people. It distorts the goodness of God.

Divine retribution because of human rejection of God’s grace is not karma. Divine discipline because of ignoring or rejecting Bible doctrine is not karma. Karma is not of God but of the Devil.
