What is the difference between God's plan and Kamma?
They both are invisible, they govern our lives, they are omnipresent, they reward you for good deeds, punish you for bad deeds.

Re: What is the difference between God's plan and Kamma?
One is the will of a being, one isn't?
What is the Uncreated?
Sublime & free, what is that obscured Eternity?
It is the Undying, the Bright, the Isle.
It is an Ocean, a Secret: Reality.
Both life and oblivion, it is Nirvāṇa.

God, in traditional monotheistic religions. Maybe in Hinduism "he" isn't a "being" though.

Re: What is the difference between God's plan and Kamma?
Where in Christianity or Judaism does it say He is a being? As far as I know .. I maybe wrong .. He is not a being (something brought into existence) in Judaism or Christianity.

What is the technical definition of "a being", for you, in Judaism, Christianity, or Islam?

Re: What is the difference between God's plan and Kamma?
I'll cut to the chase: technically, in Christianity at least, God is a being. Because he is alive with a body in Heaven currently.
According to that religion at least.
According to that religion at least.

Re: What is the difference between God's plan and Kamma?
I can speak for myself
Being is something brought into existence
That is not a body made of flesh

Re: What is the difference between God's plan and Kamma?
Then, no. God isn't a being by those definitions, if we believe in him.

Re: What is the difference between God's plan and Kamma?
Right. Then what is difference between Him/It and Kamma

Re: What is the difference between God's plan and Kamma?
Personality IMO.
However, I don't think your definition of "being" necessarily applies in Christianity.
For instance, God is "three persons". How does that relate to his being or non-being?

Re: What is the difference between God's plan and Kamma?
My question is not whether God is one or three or many .. how is God as we view Him/It different from Kamma
They are both manipulating marionettes from behind the curtain is it not ..
Going to sleep .. getting late here .. maybe some others will chip in

Re: What is the difference between God's plan and Kamma?
Maybe there's really no difference after all. If anyone have read the Old Testament and even bits and pieces of the New Testament, for all practical purposes, one'd have no choice but to substitute the word God with the word Kamma in order to make sense out of those truely horrific and ghastly stories.No_Mind wrote:.. how is God as we view Him/It different from Kamma
Re: What is the difference between God's plan and Kamma?
Since neither of them is a being, they don't exist, and cannot manipulate anyone. Ha ha.
Hic Rhodus, hic salta!
Re: What is the difference between God's plan and Kamma?
difference is that kamma is true and possible and the other is untrue and impossible.
