Hey Yall,
Many of Yall know that I lived w my aunt that has bipolar for 14 yrs and it has effected me greatly not only in my personality but as well as in my faith even more I had many notes that periods of times where I just wanted to kill my self in order to get away from this bipolar effect but I would never carry out what I said cause I knew if I did I would go to hell. So I got married now but I am recovering from all of those yrs where she abused me spiritually . She called me every bad word in the bible! And as time grew on I was continually fighting to keep my faith strength and not weaken but over the yrs of continually battling this and still ar but in a not head on way I've gotten soo weak and during that time of living w my bipolar aunt I actually started to believe those things she said to my face as well as what she did to me in the church I was in like go running and telling other ppl in the church my soo called problems which weren't anything but to her they were like extremely bad when it really wasn't anything at all! So here I am she made me believe and feel like I have failed and can't do anything right in christianity all together and now I feel like I don't fit in anymore. So my question is can u be a Christian Buddhist? I just feel like I NEED a fresh start in a new kinds alternative Christian religion .

I have studied Buddhism and the teachings of Buddha himself. There is to be no worship of Buddha or a Buddhist religion. This is not from my wants or desires, but what Buddha himself has said and told us. Buddha never wanted him or his teachings to be worshiped or practice as a religion. He expressed that he is teaching a level of awakening and self awareness. This teaching of his is the fundamental foundation of being a Buddha and Buddhism. So, any worshiping of Buddha or practice of Buddhist as a religion is false.
I am confuse about the act of suicide and what the Bible actually does and does not say about it. I do not promote or encourage suicide or any other form of physical harm to oneself or others. This I am strong about. However, where in the Bible does it state that a person who kills themselves ( suicide ) will go to hell? I have yet to find such scripture. It may be there and I have not seen it so I am asking.
Lastly, it sounds like you have had your share of abuse from your aunt. I would suggest seeking Christian therapy or Christian counseling for help and understanding. Despite what some think, Christian therapy / counseling is not about conversion to the Christian faith or damming a person for their short falls. They use real psychology and education in balance of the faith. I think this would be a great start for you.
When I am confused about something I often go to the BIBLE for help,guidance and direction . Sometimes I am enlightened by a single verse and other times I have to read more BUT GOD is faithful HE will not give us more than we can handle .
JESUS CHRIST is the only way, I am narrow minded .
Suicide should not be an option because as the BIBLE states : we are the temple of GOD and HE lives in us .
God BLESS YOU and I will pray that JESUS makes your path more clear .
