"What goes around comes around."
This is a statement that many people use, as say a watch-what-you-do sort of saying. When someone does something bad and then something bad happens to them, people make the rude comment of, "Well, what goes around comes around." I do agree with this statement in a different way than the world does. The world looks at it as a supernatural curse of something. As if it's getting what was coming for you.
The Bible talks about this subject in Galations 6:7.
"Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows."

This in the sense that God will bless those who bless others and curse those who curse others. When we look at the world as say to people that they are getting what they deserve, we are placing our judgement onto them. It is not our job to judge like a jury and condemn people. That is God's job. When we die, we will sat in front of God and he will be the judge and expose the sins we have committed. If we excepted Jesus into our heart and accepted his forgiveness then we will be saved. If we reap evil then we will sow eternal death.
So yes I agree with the statement. But I believe that it is not our job to use to condemn people. We can use it in a loving caring way where we are trying to help them.
Good insight, Roger. I appreciate how you saw beyond the text and saw the connotations associated w/ this phrase. But yup, it's true - a biblical law. Well said.
