But is it not made rather implicit, in Christian doctrine, that in the
crucifixion of Jesus, that Jesus, was, in fact, "carrying away" the "sins"
of humanity - in other words, 'bearing the load?'  Hence, the "new
convenant?"  Which would even further imply that "karma," too, had been
"cleansed."  No?
