I too, found myself wondering about it.
But rather than pondering of a reason why, let's just digest the topic along the way, let's try a pragmatic approach for this one.
Karma, is coined by the previous teaching before buddhism. Hinduism gave birth to the terminology. Karma here, related about rituals, pujas and such.
Buddhism stretch the concept and simply binded karma in one word "action".
So, simply said, karma is the explanation for how one's action be it through their mind and/or physical action, related to the consequences of the said action.
Of how, actions is by it's principle, driven by intention, which is, a deliberate deed done by the body, speech or mind, which leads to future consequences.
To put it in simple example, if one planted a mango seed, then in time, they will reap the mango fruit, while if one planted a poisonous plants seed, one day they will reap the poisonous plants, and there might be one they will reap the harm caused by what they planted.
....
So, if a person did good deeds, as if planting a mango seed, they will reap the sweet fruit of their deeds in the future, while on the other hands, when a person did bad, then one day their bad deeds will caught up with them and might caused them to suffer.
Karma, is closely related to samsara, and is the main deciding factor for how a person path will lay in their samsara cycle.
Meaning, if a person did evil in their life, then, when they died and enter the samsara cycle, their next reincarnation might not be human, their next life might not be as pleasant as their previous life, which is the caused of one's suffering.
So, if a person did good, they will reap the sweet karma in their next life, on the other hand, when a person did bad, they will suffer on their next life.
That's the very evil point that I wanted to stressed about.
....
You might heard this phrase already, that karma is a b*tch, that catchy phrase has been around for quite some time already in today's society.
That's how far this concept already manage their way in to this generation's mind.
We usually identify the said phrase with a situation where a person did bad and one day they receive humiliation or punishment or whatever that bring satisfaction to the speaker in accord to their hatred caused by the other person in question.
Or in today's meme terminology, "instant karma" for a person being selfish and caused harm for other and soon after got punished by the universe for their bad deeds.
They might sounded crazy and you might also think that they were funny or interesting, but that is where the sweet lies hidden preparing to lulls anyone, and ambushed them when they are unaware in the future.
Bible said that we are the salt and light for this world, not the other way around.
But why, this simple trickery we known labelled as karma, is easily and readily acceptable for our way too unaware mind, and they didn't even jolted you up from realising that the very concept of karma is a big lie that were put ahead to make people ignore about eternal life.
What? Why? How?
Think about is, if we accept that there is an invisible thread of Law chaining the balance of universe, that is called Samsara, and the fibers from that Law is known as Karma, that after this life, there will be another, that is caused by what a person did in their present life, and their previous life, and previous one, to who knows how much repetition, that karma is accumulation and keep accumulating each life cycle.
Then, there will be no need for Jesus to come and judge all people, dead and alive, for what they did in their life.
The Bible clearly stated that one day, we will stood before the throne of Jesus, to be held accountable for how we lived our one and only chance of life, and that very life, will decide our fate of how we are going to spend eternity afterwards.
All creation will be judged before Jesus, no exclusions, ever.
And here we are, that there is something known as karma.
What use are karma if everything we did is going to be paid by the universe in our next life, if that be true, why are we still need to answer for Jesus's judgment then?
Can you see it now?
Of where the concept is lying low and shooting their trickery from under the radar?
Am I over exaggerating this false alarm?
I believe not.
An open mind doesn't mean that there will be no need for filtration for ideologies input.
Open heart and open mind, I believe, is the willingness to listen, and to understand. Yes, but open heart and mind, isn't telling you to readily accept and eagerly jump ship on whatever new ideologies coming your way.
If they were not properly in accor to the Bible, then they were not good enough for you to believe in either.
We were not Catholics my friend, so we need to be stern and strict with our definitions. We need to tightly combed toward each and every ideology coming our way.
I also not heeding you to be a stubborn blockhead constantly ignoring and refusing to listen and insisting that our belief is correct and other must be in the wrong.
What I laid out, spreaded in the open before you, is the opened heart, a willingness to learn about and to understand quite good enough, and later on, to return to our roots and compiled whatever they were and compared them with the should be unshakeable and irrefutable Biblical Truth. And then, later if you found out that they were not in accord with the Bible, then, you can freely refused and perhaps refute them.
So, Karma is evil, because this very concept of Karma isn't really on the same side of what Bible teach us.
If there is karma, then samsara is also need to exist. You can't accept one and denied the rest, because that might be blatantly oxymoron.
But you can refute that both is false, where does the fallacy lied.
It is evil, because by believing karma is real, we also acknowledge that this very karma, will keep accumulating even after the person died, and will let the deceased to their next path in reincarnation cycle.
There is no reincarnation, because if reincarnation exist at the same time of what Biblical Truth teached us about, then the universe is surely in utter chaos.
As if a smartphone have many providers and many different offers of platforms and operating system.
That is not the case of the universe, that's simply chaos.
God is the author of the universe, and hence only God is authorised to govern the universe however He pleases.
If God revealed that through Jesus, and stated that the universe has falled short from His mercy and in need of salvation, than that's the only Truth.
If other belief exists at the same time and dictates that a person doesn't have to be judged by God, they will be judged by the accumulations of their actions in life. Then which side will you belief?
The universe exist solely because God exist.
And because authored the universe in His sovereign will, then the universe exist for a purpose, and that purpose must be in accord to God's best interest of creating it in the first place.
Then this concept hailed from a man believing he attained enlightenment, that he perceived through the veil of universal Truth, and claimed he understood the mysteries behind the universe. And he said such and such.
That is simply haughtiness, a person's delusion, which is strongly believed to be the ultimate truth, for themselves.
But what a person believe does not dictate the Truth.
If, karma is the truth, then samsara must be also the truth.
And if that is Truth, then there is no need for the existence of God, and the universe must be working by random, they revolve in utter chaos.
But no, that is not the facts at hand isn't it?
We are still here, alive and breathing well.
The atmosphere didn't suddenly turned off and all air from earth vanished to the vacuum space.
The sun didn't blown out to smithereens in a great bang yesterday.
And no random asteroids struck our planet yet that a third of the seas, land blown out from existence.
If the earth inhabitants karma is what hold this solar system intact. Then what about the other solar system?
We don't even know for sure yet that wether we completely alone in this vast cosmos or not yet, and we surely won't be able to proof that there is life in the other solar system or not. But we know, the other solar system exist, and they're not yet ceased to exist.
As if observing a finely weaved piece of cloth, that's the whole cosmos.
Like a finely tuned circuitry of mechanical clockwork, that's how the universe revolves in harmony.
And the Bible said about it, God governs the cosmos and make them working in perfect harmony with His wisdom. This minuscule minute details isn't here by random, all creation are finely crafted and tailored to it's respective forms, because there is a 'Hand' that shaped them.
If we were mere particles and dust from the Big Bang, them we are never going to be how we are today.
If universe is by random chance, then sure, karma is here, and so is samsara.
But because the whole creation is so finely details, so beautifully designed, then the idea of this beauty came out from chaos without any author responsible behind it, that's simply being ignorant.
If Karma exist, there is no need for God to intervene in this world and how the human lived their lifes.
But because the existence of the universe is closely tied to the Truth that God exist.
Then, Karma and it's concept of deeds accumulations that governs the reincarnation cycle, is proven to be untrue.
The pedestal only able to hold one idea for once and for all, and there is no room for the best of both worlds.
There must be only God and God's wisdom that govern everything in the cosmos, which is the main reason of causality, the cause and effect that is believed under the illusion of said 'karma', or there is no God and Karma govern the Samsara.
I say, that God is, not karma.
And that's final.
