How do different religions interpret the idea of a "soul contract"?

[redvelvetjoy]

I recently stumbled upon the idea of soul contracts in spiritual circles. I wonder how this concept is viewed in major religions like Christianity, Hinduism, or Islam. Is there a similar idea, or is it more of a New Age thing?

The concept of a "soul contract" isn't a major tenet in Christianity, Hinduism, or Islam but often pops up in New Age spirituality as a way to explain life paths and lessons—it's cool how diverse views on destiny can be!

That's a fascinating question! I've heard different interpretations of soul contracts in various religions. Some believe it's a pre-birth agreement, while others see it as a spiritual journey. What are your thoughts?

I think many Eastern religions, like Hinduism and Buddhism, view life as a journey with karmic contracts. They believe that our actions shape our future lives, though it’s not always framed as a 'contract.'
