This topic came up during one of our Bible meetings.

Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. For the judgment you give will be the judgment you get, and the measure you give will be the measure you get.
Matthew 7:1-2

For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Matthew 6:14-15

I think the word "karma" encompasses many teachings in the Bible (some were mentioned in this thread) where you Reap what you Sow as a few other members mentioned.

A very wonderful realization is how forgiving others lends great peace to any believer. I believe it is the result of knowing we are forgiven. This has moved me to revue any and all whom I believe have possibly sinned against me. There are not many who have it seems but some of them were in need of true forgiveness.

You post is a wonderful lesson and meditation for any serious minded believers to meditate upon. Thank you and may you always be blessed.

First; Is the statement, 'what goes around comes around' anything to do with karma?

Second; Does karma have anything to do with reincarnation?

Third; Is there anything about karma or something like it in the Bible?

just number 3

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6:7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

what you put out comes back around and it comes back around in increased measure

“Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall be given into your bosom.

For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭6:36-38‬ ‭KJV‬‬

How we treat other imperfect people is going to be how we are treated only moreso

It is written, the evil you do will come back upon your own head. One need not know this teaching if one knows judgment to come is certain..
