Grateful's shout trail with abundance - Help.com

Grateful, Where are you? The last reply you made was that you were closing the Budh, Christ, post but you’ve seemed to have vanished. I was wondering if you were ok? Give a shout and let me know you are or not.

In reply to your message to me earlier. I am very happy to hear that you take bible study very seriously. I do as well, I feel we are just studying two different interpretations. You asked me how I can be in the middle of buddhism and Christianity. I am addressing this in a post titled “How does buddhist practice conflict with christianity”. I love jesus and have repented my sins. To learn to live a life free of sin, I practice the eightfold path as I believe the 4 noble truths in the buddhist tradition. I also have read the sutras that I have been able to get my hands on and see no conflict in them with christianity. I use zazen meditation to bring me closer to god. It is how I pray. I have found that listening to god is more productive than talking to him. I will happily post this in the thread I have started with the same topic. Please check it out.

Grateful, You replied to me in a post regarding homosexuality and the church and this is partly in reference to that.
I was wondering how you can argue what the bible says when you don’t appear to follow the life God calls us to through it. How can you say homosexuality is not a sin? Are you saying God created people to have same sex relationships? What did you mean by the reference to animal sacrifice? God said there needs to be an accounting for our sin which would be taken from the blood of certain animals as a replacement for ours. He says that life is in the blood and we remain dead in our sins. This is all covered in the Old Covenant which is the law and sacrifices. The Old Covenant was put in place to show us we could never keep the laws and to point us to the one, who is Christ, that would be the perfect sacrifice to atone for our sins forever. Christ is the New Covenant. I take bible study very seriously and totally study it as a whole. I have read in some of your other posts that you seem to be in the middle of Christianity and Buddism. I don’t understand how this is possible since they conflict with each so completely. How do you consider yourself Christian or what part of it do you believe? I’m just curious because this might help me to understand where your coming from.
