The truth about karma (reactions to one's pious and impious deeds) in the material creation is NOT eternal!! Only a cruel uncaring nonsense nasty God would preach "eternal damnation" and "eternal suffering in hell"

It is one's actions good, bad and inbetween that put the individual jivatma in an endless variety of material bodily vessels life after life.

This constant desire and search for happyness in the material universe is governed by a code of conduct that rewards the jivatma with a range of punishments and rewards based on one's good and bad deeds (actions) while in a human material body.

Only the "human material bodily form" of life creates Karma in the material creation, no karma is created in the lower species, heavenly or hellish planets, it is only burnt off there.

However, this seemingly long journey in the material creation is NOT forever because everything is temporary, including karma, in this mundane decaying creation.

Karma good or bad does not last forever. Nothing in the material world is forever!

When one's karma in the animal Kingdom and lower species, the opulant heavenly planets and lower hellish planets is used up, one again gets a human material body on the middle planet called Bhurloka.

This human body is a gift from material nature to find a spiritual teacher or master and learn from him how to GET OUT of this material creation and return to Vaikuntha or Goloka Vrindavana. 

And NEVER again take birth in these temporary material bodies within a mundane world that is in constant maintenance, decline, decay and repeated birth and death.
