Christ sacrificed Himself on the cross to erase your bad KARMA

CLEVELAND, TN--In rural Tennessee, a former Baptist minister led his church to embrace the truth of the Torah and Judaism. But rather than convert, members of Frazier's Chapel consider themselves B'nai Noah

I respectfully disagree, karma is an actual religious doctrine, and it ain't Christian. But I get what you're saying.

Thank you, Happy Easter to you and yours. :)

He is Risen!

Oy Oy.

Karma means Action.

Karma is not a religious doctrine.

Karma is a word for "work"

Karma-palam [phalam] means "fruit of one's acts" aka "fruits of one's works"

One must specify bad-karma or good-karma.

Karma does not mean destiny ---it does infer it. It is a western vernacular usage that connotes destiny ---because:

"by your works you will known" ---by your works [karma] you will yield a result good or bad or mixed. This is not a doctrine it is a pedestrian idiom.

It is only after the fact [after the act is performed] that the good or bad outcome can be distinguished.

The use of the word karma to denote destiny is poetic licence.

Christ erased the sin of the "Works" of the humans ---by showing them what they were not spiritually worthy of knowing via their own works [past works that were full of sin].
Christ showed that "We are all each individual indivisible spirit souls that don't die upon death"

After that we could Chant the Lord's Mantra ---and ya'll know what the Lord Christ's Mantra is? Right?

I'm not familiar with the term. Is it ...

"Love your neighbor as yourself"?



And I don't think a lot of westerners are aware that repetitive prayer is the same as chanting.

I am not sure why posters are holding out Easter as a commemoration of the crucifixtion, which did not happen on Easter.

I can't speak for protestant or catholic traditions, but in my life experience the whole point of the Orthodox celebration of Easter is to celebrate the resurrection, the spiritual significance of it. The customary greeting given by Orthodox chrisitans to each other on Easter is "Christ is risen!". I actually cannot recall them making the focus of Easter on the crucifixtion and death of Chirst on Good Friday. Without the resurrection there would be no Christianity, the crucifixtion not withstanding.

I am not theological expert, but I appreciate the aesthetic quality of celebrating the resurrection, rather than the bloody torture, and death that occurred on Good Friday.

The title of the thread, surely, suggests a discussion of Good Friday? A discussion of the Resurrection would be driven indeed!

Christianity is a death cult. They celebrate the death of Jesus and their biggest symbol is the vehicle of Jesus' death.

I was raised catholic, 6 years of catholic school, but quit at age 12. Sorry, logic already had me by 12

Then surely you know that Belief is a matter of Faith, not logic (for most people).

Let me ask you, why do the Jews no longer follow some of the laws spelled out in Leviticus, ... like stoning to death as a punishment.

let's put it this way - would Jesus support a leader that hated the poor, tortured immigrants, cut health care services, cut food assistance for the poor and defunded their schools, all before lunch?

or would he simply tell you to get over it, go home and pray for the asshole?

no.....he also wouldn't support your lies about him......

Baden-Wurttemberg, Mannheim......just a short Stassenbahn to Heidelberg. My dual heritage allows residence from many things. Christian/Shaman God is God in any faith....there is only "ONE". Just like there is only "one" Messiah, one truth, one Father, one Son, one church....upon this truth(Rock), "....upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not overpower it." -- Matt. 16:18

Many people do not comprehend that statement from the Christ, they misbelieve the ROCK that the Christ is speaking of is literally PETER, whose name means Rock....but when read in context of the entire passage, the Rock (is not a person, but a foundation stone)….and that stone is the truth that Peter spoke when the Christ asked him....who do you say that I am, Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, that is the foundation stone of Christ's church....the truth that Jesus indeed is the Messiah of prophecy. God incarnate. Only God can become human and walk the sinless life that is required of a perfect sacrificial lamb of God, unblemished. For we all sin......not because we were born into sin but because We CHOOSE TO SIN. It has taken God becoming flesh to resist ALL TEMPTATION because man is a part of the earth, that he cannot deny (his physical body).

Thus just like the 2 ravenous wolves....we are in constant battle, a spiritual battle.....between the god of this earth (physical temptation) and the God of the Spiritual realm....that which is responsible for all things GOOD. The one you feed is the one that overcomes.

I am not perfect.....I am merely forgiven, I have the greatest lawyer (advocate) that ever walked upon the earth standing between I and sin...….Christ Jesus.

World religions are just creation of social glue and groupthink around the subject of life's chaos and unfairness,
and domination and an attempt to assert the existence of justice in the face of all evidence to the contrary.

It's a load of bat guano, but I will still host an Easter egg hunt and champagne lunch. I can't fight city hall.
For the really old or the sick, religions provide comfort, so I roll with the sweet lies.

SOCK PUPPET: Really? If you are so smart.....why do you attempt to articulate in one voice with many puppets? You can't hide from your "ID".

Control is but an illusion. We are all at the mercy of and the GRACE of God who controls nature. There is no guarantee in life...except Death. God allows the Sun to exist every day. Tomorrow it might go Super Nova. What's your safe word? You exist because you are allowed to exist.
 
Despite its so called significance as a Christian holy day, many of the traditions and symbols that play a key role in Easter observances actually have roots in pagan celebrations—particularly the pagan goddess Eostre (or Ostara), the ancient Germanic goddess of spring
