[QUOTE="salt-n-light, post: 71876499, member: 400942"] Well I think this post should be fine here. But off the bat, the Christian Buddhist thing can't mix, its just two different doctrines with different systems in place. It won't work out. I'm pretty sure people try to, but it ends up being a scenario where the person basically is making their own doctrine. I feel like alot of times people get really zoomed in to the system of the belief (religion), the structures, and striving to mold it to a point that they feel satisfy and comfortable, and find out they are still unsure and uncomfortable, and it just like being in a hamster wheel of feelings. Is Buddhism for me, is christianity for me, how will it work, can I make it work, can i mesh it etc. My advice: Take a break from trying to figure things out yourself, trying to be happy, and focus first on the relationship with God. Get to know God. Seek Him out. Learn how to trust Him, and His thoughts on things. Learn what He thinks of you, and how to navigate in this life. Ask Him questions, and get to know the Word. Know the Holy Spirit. Just get to know Him. Day by day, He will reveal Himself, and the direction to take will be alot clearer. The religion, the system and the structure of the church, will be alot clearer, and how you connect with other people will be alot clearer. It takes time, don't rush it. [/QUOTE]
