Lol, you need to ask?
Again language barriers, and not enough knowledge has led to these divisions, that don't really exist...
Well, words do have a tendency to change in meaning over the years. I don't disagree, but I take the word itself has been expanded to represent other definitions by which it's used.From Sanskrit Karma (कर्म) and from Greek Ergon (ἔργον) both mean 'actions, works or deeds'.
This is absolutely appalling, that the religious groups are so divided they think these are totally alien concepts; when they both should be encompassed as the same understanding.
Agreed; unfortunately when the religious beliefs, don't match the glove of the authors, we really need to go back to the origins to understand their truths.
We can look up every terminology on the internet with multiple references to verify what is originally intended:
Dharma when equated to Islam is Sharia, in the sense of being religious law.... It is to follow the righteous path that stems from the one God.
Unfortunately we should always go back to sources, we're in a world of delusion, and desires (Maya); where people are getting more confused.
Buddhist do not seem themselves as God; Advaita Vedanta Hindus do.
In which context: you accept they're all the same, and thus don't have a religious group or you deny all the Abrahmic and Dharmic texts?
Neither. The christian texts make it clear that salvation is not achieved via "works".In which context: you accept they're all the same, and thus don't have a religious group or you deny all the Abrahmic and Dharmic texts?
Wait you've stated on here you given up claiming to be a Christian...
That strikes me as being a gross over-simplification not that that will dissuade you from going down this particular rabbit hole.From Sanskrit Karma (कर्म) and from Greek Ergon (ἔργον) both mean 'actions, works or deeds'.
This is absolutely appalling, that the religious groups are so divided they think these are totally alien concepts; when they both should be encompassed as the same understanding.
Just making sureLol, you need to ask?
Dharmic religions use the word Karma, and Abrahmic Christian religions use the Greek Ergon...
There is the question of Jewish 'works of the Law (Torah)', and not necessarily that being seen in the larger context of all 'action'; which is often put as 'righteousness' as an overall concept...
So hopefully one of the Jewish members can add their own Rabbinic understanding, on all action/works being counted as righteousness, which then leads to our salvation/liberation/moksha.
Again language barriers, and not enough knowledge has led to these divisions, that don't really exist...
To follow the Dharma is to be Righteous...
Through doing good Works, we show our Righteousness, and through maintaining good Karma, we show we follow the Dharma.
Also, i did not know Abrahamic religions used the term "ergon".Wait you've stated on here you given up claiming to be a Christian...
Which at the time tried to explain to you the differences between Paul and Yeshua's teachings...
The prophets, and Yeshua say we're judged by our works (Matthew 16:27, Revelation 20:13)...
Thus Paul's Pharisaic ideas are just wrong, saying it isn't about our works (Romans 11:6), and then claiming we do works as we're in debt to God (Romans 4:4)...
Yeshua said the opposite, that when we've done many works not to expect anything for it; yet to say it was our duty to do as a humble servant (Luke 17:9-10).
Only because modern Sharia has been heavily influenced by made up Hadiths... This is why i specified that was meaning religious law, and to follow a righteous path...
It is a very basic word analysis, and to anyone who is educated, they should realize there are massive textual contexts behind each concept.
Actually it does, it is a specific term assigned to Paul and Simon peter's ministry (Acts 11:26)... The original followers of Yeshua were called 'Followers of the Way', not Christians.
Just showed it does, and showed the error comes from the false texts.
The Bhagavad Gita says that our whole destination after this life, and the next, is dependent on our works/actions (Karma).
If we're a scum bag in all the texts, we're going to Hell; if we're a good person, we've got a chance of salvation/liberation to Heaven.
The topic is on a word specifically found in the Biblical cannon; the Christian ethics were first stated by yourself, as i differentiate Pauline Christianity, and Yeshua's Hebraic fulfillment.
Not really sure why you're laughing; it is like not understanding what is going on, and then laughing at not comprehending... Yet you still don't seem to get what has been stated, sorry.
There are multiple award winning theologians, and scholars who've recognized Paul contradicts Yeshua.
The great deception spoken in the Bible is to catch out the hypocrites, who pay very little attention to context...
The cannon was established by the false Christian church, and thus includes numerous mistakes, which anyone worthy should've noticed.
