i have started to look into Buddhism as a philosophical way to help myself with my OCD mindfulness and meditation looking more at the mindfulness meditation my mental health has been good since starting this but i want to look even more deeper into Buddhism as a Christian Buddhist i have read that you can follow Buddhism and still follow your christian faith my mental health has gotten to the point where my husband has to lock the door and keep keys on himself to meds most of the time i am a danger to myself and others but the last week or so looking at this has helped me so much i am more positive and happy doing this i am still christian i still believe in Jesus , God and the Holy Spirit i still want to celebrate Christmas and Easter yet i feel a pull towards Buddhism i talk to one of my pastor who told me just to follow the meditation and the mindfulness i asked him if it ok for me to go and join a Buddhist meditation class and he said no i feel disappointed and upset that i cant follow this but what the problem with this i am still Christian Am still going to church every week am a member of the church voting member maybe i dont see why he said this can someone please explain not allowed to do this i am unable to talk to my pastor again until Tuesday he know i have mental health problems but he dont know how things are going since the last time i saw him i wanted to show him that Buddhism is a philosophical but i was unable to explain to him i know that most of you will say that Buddhism is new age and of the devil but really ??? saying things like that makes your go 1000 years backward where women who helped people with medicine where burt at the stake for being witches where black people where slaves are,nt we going too backwards with things like that its 2017
not that dark ages you know i feel some want angry and upset I AM A CHRISTIAN BUDDHIST weather people like it or not
CAN SOMEONE EXPLANE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS ???
unfortunately, most christians have turned out to be unprepared to help people well enough (at least for the last decades), and many people missing finding solution to their certain problems in christianity and elsewhere got caught up in and (were) converted to buddhism and other alternative faiths/religions, which usually offer a partial solution to some problems if not to all; however, there is a problem in following alternative faiths/religions, namely because they are founded/based on the satanic kingdom; what happens in that case is that certain manifestations of the "darkness" find a way to enter the world through people practicing the faith wrong, and the consequences of that are usually catastrophic for all humankind/world (or at least have been since the day of the Fall), or as St Paul says:
Romans 5:12-14 (KJV) "by one man
(also: through the generation of the unrighteous spiritual workers/servants) sin
(i.e. the devil as well as the system of spiritual unrighteousness/wickedness, a.k.a. the kingdom of the evil/wicked one) entered into the world, and death
(i.e. and the (spirit of) deterioration) by sin; and so death passed upon all men
(i.e. and so deterioration affected many humans), for that all have sinned
(i.e. because many were seized by the system of (spiritual) unrighteousness/wickedness - some as its servants, others as its victims): For until the law sin was in the world
(i.e. because the "darkness" was in the universe even before the nascence of human spirituality/religiosity): but sin is not imputed when there is no law
(i.e. but there is no sin where there is no spiritual unrighteousness/wickedness). Nevertheless death
(i.e. the deterioration) reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression
(i.e. even over people that had not committed spiritual lawlessness/wickedness)"
of course i don't say that people committing spiritual lawlessness certainly die in no more than a few days, but there will be a judgment in the last day and the souls that committed great enough spiritual lawlessness to the last will be punished, and the punishment for that is eternal torments at least in the course of the circle of the eternity of eternities - of course i cannot explain everything in one post, but here i will try to explain the main things concerning great spiritual lawlessness
here is an explanation with pictures:
the "tree" that is beyond the "garden of Eden" and that has been forbidden by God, also called (the) "fig tree"(art image):
a human can "eat" from it by practicing occultism, esotericism, idolatry and, in general, unrighteous faith/spirituality/religion, but initially this happened in the form of the creed that for the last centuries has been known as yoga of krishna and patanjali
yoga as a "tree of the knowledge of good and evil" and the yogi(n) as cognizing/knowing and joining/uniting with it(art image):
the "third eye"(a.k.a. the sixth chakra) on the forehead of a female yogi(n) in the process of yoga(art image):
this is a process that converts/turns the human(the practitioner) into a spiritual servant/worker of satan, while the culmination is their transformation into (complete) angels of satan
an yogi(n) in process of cosmic transcendental meditation and the so-called "chakras"(seven main satanic spirits)(art image):
an yogi(n) in process of intensive and deep yoga meditation, there is a powerful prana(satanic force) unleashing in him(art image):
the peak culmination of yoga is when after an intensive, deep and long-standing meditation there occurs physical death for the yogi(n) and they resurrect in the "darkness" like the Lord, Jesus Christ, Who has (been) resurrected in the "Light", so the yogi(n) turns into a complete angel of satan mastering/having powers for great signs and wonders even on a cosmic scale with/through which a maximum number of people to be misled/deceived/lied, including various types of wisdom, omnipresence, telepathy, telekinesis, teleportation, materialization, dematerialization, etc.
a complete angel of satan showing great signs and wonders on a cosmic scale (in this case cosmic nebulas, supernova or other cosmic phenomena)(art image):
the kingdom of satan (whose structure consists of many occult realms) can exist for no more than 5-6 millennia as from the day of the Fall (which was soon after the seventh day), then there will be a full destruction of it and all that inhabit it
of course this doesn't mean that there has been no great spiritual lawlessness/wickedness also in large part of the hitherto prevailing christianity, albeit not through the disciplines of yoga that have been taught for the last centuries, but, after all, the religious worshipers should conform with the Holy Law of the One Who is really the true God, because there have also been satanic equivalents of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit known for example as sat-cit-ananda in the vedic religions...
