Bible Question:
This is a quote from a typed note pinned to the bulletin board in the breakroom where I work. Is this an accurate statement? Please give biblical support for your answer. Thanks in advance: Statement on board: "It is biblical that if you intentionally cause hurt and strife to another it will be returned to you in greater proportion in this life." Please only answer with biblical reference supporting your answer. Thanks and God bless, Jeff |
Bible Answer: Dear Jeff, The idea they are espousing is not founded in the Scriptures. They are talking about a Hindu teaching called Karma. There are only two ways in which sin is handled before our righteous and holy God: through an eternity of suffering in hell, or by the once and for all atonement of Jesus Christ. In Him, Doc |
