What Religion am I?

I grew up being a Protestant,I went to church up until I was 10,I believe in God,And I’ve found that Praying helps a lot. However,On the other hand,I Also strongly believe in a lot of the Buddhist Beliefs,Along with Confucious’ beliefs.I have friends who are buddhists,and I’ve been to a Buddhist meditation center a few times.

Is it possible to successfully be more than one religion? Or Is that a Sin?

Answer #1

This I know is the bottom line - what really matters is, have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior - If you meet me and don’t get to know me, you’ve lost nothing - If you meet Jesus and don’t seek to know Him, you’ve lost EVERYTHING !!…Take care !

Answer #2

To be religiously open minded is to be Spiritual.. Religion serves the purpose of answering lifes unanswerable questions and gives us hope.. Keep questioning and seeking.. If we never find the answers; we can sure injoy the process.

Answer #3

both places are search, the difference is the Christian knows where they will wind up. and the buddist is to no direct end, of course thats my understanding of buddhist. and I don’t claim to know it all. its the same with Christian people are judged by every mistake someone has encountered by the faith. the things Christians speak of are primarily spoken from Scripture. inspired by God. He says I am the way the truth and the life, no one can come to the Father but by me. now the Christian world is judged for saying what the word of God says. If the bible says it for me that settles it. I had a miraculous experience whith God and when I think of questioning him. that experience helps me to see He came for me, I didn’t even know he was available this way.

Answer #4

The end time religion is a mix of everything that is available.

The bible says that God is a jealous God, he does not want to compete with other gods for our attention. However, if you are not concerned with what the Christian God thinks, then, go for it.

Answer #5

yea, thats the first commandments, so, yes it a sin, unless you don’t believe in the 10 in the Christian god, then your off the hook. all religion have the same idea, be good, don’t be bad. Pick the one you like the most and good luck with it.

Answer #6

read the word, He is the judge, All religion is made by man. where the Creator of you and me has his views. buddha was a created being as were the leader of all religions. It seems to me you are still looking for an experience and not the creator of that experience.

Answer #7

decide yourself.

Answer #8

If it’s against God how can it not be a sin. And Religion is about worshipping. . . . . I for one worship God.

Answer #9

god gave us the freedom but you have to make you right choice

Answer #10

I dont think its a sin but your going against god

He says you shouldnt have any other idols You should believe in anything but me cause I am the only one

Like to take some of what they say and use it as your morals I dont see any harm in that but it saddens God that you think you can be of many religions

If you look ar any religion they have good and bad things in them that you might like or dislike

but if you trully believe in God you shouldnt feel a need or want to look at theseother religions

To be honest God isnt about (religion) its all about having a REAL REALATIONSHIP with him ,,, try to have a strong relationship with him and he will tell you if what you are doing is right are not you will “just know”

Answer #11

I dont know im cool with most people if they belive in god

Answer #12

you should convert to being a CHRISTIAN it is the only right way to go!:)

Answer #13

reminds me of me…

Answer #14

Mainline Christianity teaches that it has a monopoly on truth. Christianity is true and all other religions are false. Not all religions or even all Christians feel this way. Many people feel that there are great truths to be learned from all religions.

Liberal Unitarian Universalist churches often study the teachings of various religions for wisdom, insight, and to understand God better.

The Baha’I faith believes that Zoroaster, Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Krishna, Jesus, and Mohammad were all prophets of God and that each taught what its followers were ready to learn.

There are faiths that integrate different teachings.

Answer #15

So put your trust in Him and don’t look for the reasons not to let Him take you on a trip you’ve never been before.

Answer #16

God doesn’t except us worshipping other gods or practicing other beliefs. . .So yes it would be a sin.

Answer #17

ROFL!! You are a “spiritualist”. Which is not a sin. You can get the same spiritualism from the protestant religion, but you will be subjected to the politics of the Church as well as the the elitism (and extremism) of the people that attend. Christian Church would be a good place for spiritual repose if it weren’t for the other people there. You are most likely being swayed by the Buddhist beliefs that don’t constantly lecture you on morality. If the place you pray tells you something every week that has the power to make you feel guilty, then has you connect with a higher power to resolve that guilt, then you will never feel the positive effects of prayer and spiritualism. Don’t mistake me though, I do believe that the Christians can attain this same positive spiritual attunement as the Buddhists, but I believe that the Christians are more handicapped for their need to control people.

I have Christian beliefs, yet I am Muslim on paper, and I practice more of a Yogi/Buddhist spiritual path. If God hated another culture, then this would be a sin. However if God could “hate”, I don’t think I would subscribe to God. (Notice no gender placed on the name “God”)

Answer #18

Hey honestly, I’ve studied buhdism for about 3 years, I’m also a little undecided as well, I read a lot of nizche and he’s not a big christian believer obviously, but both confuscious and niezche have some amazing thoughts and points to belief, it comes down to if you have faith in yourself or if you need someone to have faith in for you…
