We receive what we give and attract. But we are also fallible so it makes sense that we can be forgiven for our failings, but a sinful act is another matter.
I am sure karma sees to it that we have the opportunity to change our behaviour, but if we act sinfully then that is what we will get in return.
Thanks. Yes, I believe in karma and agree with you. We receive what we give and attract. If we give out kindness we will receive kindness back, in the same way if we hand out badness, we will get bad things back.
When it comes to deceit, the deeper the web we weave, the harder it will be to come back from it, but I also agree that as we evolve and grow, we will have a chance to change our behaviour.
For those who try to outwit karma, it will never work. Karma knows us, more than we know ourselves; it will always act accordingly.
