All good questions you might ask, and if you have other questions use the contact page to email me and I will answer.
1. What does this mean?
I think this means STOP trying to do it ON OUR OWN. It's impossible!! WE NEED HELP!!!!
The greatest follower of Jesus, Paul, said "when I try to do "good karma", I end up doing "bad karma", Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me (moksha) from this life that is dominated by "bad karma" and death?" Romans 7: 24, then Paul answers his own question in verse 25,
"Thanks be to God, who delivers (moksha) me through Jesus Christ our Lord!"
2. What about my BAD KARMA?
I think we both agree that it is the BAD KARMA(what I would call sin) that is preventing us from reaching our "ultimate goal" when we die. I think your belief system proposes GOOD KARMA (actions, deeds, works) erases the BAD KARMA that is credited to your account (atman). My belief system is even more servere, with no way to wipe sin (bad karma) off my account. No amount of GOOD erases even one instance of BAD.
For example, if I misbehaved in church and my father said, "you're gonna get it when you get home". From that point on, no amount of GOOD BEHAVIOR erased the spanking I got later, LOL.
God says, He will only accept PERFECTION by me and even one sin (bad karma) in thought or deed dooms me.
What chance do I have ! ? ! What chance do you have ! ? !
Here is where God steps in and gives you and me a chance for "rest", "release", "salvation", "moksha" from our problem. No human can satisfy God's standard of PERFECTION, "for ALL have sinned (committed BAD KARMA)" Romans 3:23. "But the GIFT OF GOD is eternal life (moksha) through Jesus Christ our Lord". Romans 6:23
God says, "All sin (bad karma) must be PAID FOR (punished)". Your system punishes with "reincarnation" over and over. My system punishes with "eternal separation from God", that's the nice answer, the bad answer is HELL.
So how did God step in and give us OUR chance? God himself, the 2nd person of Trinity, Jesus became a human about 2000+ years ago, lived a PERFECT HUMAN life but was crucified on a cross.
Isaiah 53:6 hundreds of years before Jesus was born explains what Jesus did FOR OUR SIN(bad karma)
He(Jesus) is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it
were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he(Jesus) hath borne our
griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he(Jesus) was wounded for our transgressions(bad karma),
he(Jesus) was bruised for our iniquities(bad karma):
the punishment that brought us peace(moksha) was upon him(Jesus);
and with his(Jesus) stripes we are healed(moksha).
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way;
and the Lord(God) hath laid on him(Jesus) the iniquity(bad karma) of us all.l
