Does sin exist in other cultures but under a different name? Miss Shah for instance would not see the need for Christ's Gruesome Death because she talks about karma and reincarnation.

Clearly the reincarnation system doesn't work. If it did, things would be getting better and better. Instead, as the reference I've cited demonstrates, things are getting worse and worse. How should the sin concept be explained to a Jain or a Zen? Is it acceptable to bring along someone from a different culture to hear Pastor's message?
