Offences

I thought I'd better answer Rob's questions before someone out there thinks they can get away with murder if the guy "deserves it."

Rob's question was basically this:

If you kill someone and incur a debt that is paid off by being reborn and being murdered yourself - what happens to the guy who murders you? Since you had it coming was your murderer justified.

The answer is a definite "no." You are judged by the perimeters of the life in which you are living. Even if Hitler was born again and we knew who he was we would have no right to do him any harm if he was threatening no one in the current life. It's not up to us to be judge and jury for the past life debts of anyone. Things will happen naturally to cause us to pay off our debts as illustrated in the last chapter I posted.

Jesus said: "Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!" Matt 18:7

Because of karma offenses (murder, rape, robbery etc.) will come and those who suffer offenses may be in the process of paying off a debt, but "woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!"

In other words, people suffer the effects of karma, but woe be unto you if you act as the judge and jury in carrying it out.

The woman in the story who poisoned her past husband did incur karma and will have to make it right in a future life. Two possibilities is that she will (1) have her life taken from her or (2) save the life (in a future incarnation) of the man she killed.

Question: What if the guy in the story had not listened to his inner self and killed the children instead of saving them? What would have happened to him then?

Good post and insights John K, on the Oneness Principle.
