@NOCD Advocate - Greg J. I grew up in a Chrsitian home . I met my wife in 2018 and wanted to rededicate my life to God because I wanted a prosperous relationship ! I then went through a season of doubt . I doubted everything . I then got saved in 2019 because I believe when I was younger I wasn’t serious about it . I was still in doubt in 2019 while getting saved , but I am hoping that God saved me anyway . Fast forward to January of 2021 , I learned about the unpardonable sin . This really terrified me . I became so fearful If I’ve ever committed it , or will commit it . I am always hyper fixated on that idea . I was reading scripture one time and called the Lord the “L” word in my head because I misunderstood the scripture. To my defense , I also was reading scripture in a different version . I believe it was the NLT version . My mentor advised me to stay with the KJV or NKJV because things are much more precise . I then looked up many different forms of blasphemous thoughts because I was convinced that I did it . Doing research for assurance only made matters worse . I retained so much blasphemous thoughts along the way . Every day I’m rebuking the thought . I’m messing up while rebuking the thoughts . My mind is flooded whenever I’m doing anything . I fear that I’m not even saved . I’ve allowed confusion , doubt and fear to beat me up for so long . The flesh has became weak and I’ve engaged in lustful behaviors . I willlingly sinned against God . I did ask for forgiveness although I may mess up again . I’m truly bothered and ferried . If you have an relatable experience , I’m willing to listen . Thanks for any encouragement!

@Junior96! First off, God better understands what you are going thru than you do. He is all knowing so he knows exactly what you are struggling with. God hears all your prayers and there’s no special rules you need to follow. God understands you love him and that you have OCD. Trust me God knows!

@NOCD Advocate - Greg J. It’s funny because I asked God to forgive me and remind me how much he loves me . I got on the app and I saw your post . I truly believe that God wanted me to see that . Also , may you refer your counselor ? Thanks

@Junior96! I have not but know that God knows how much you love him. You don’t need to do compulsions to prove that. God would rather you live your life and serve him that way

@Junior96! God definitely wanted you to see that! That’s awesome! My counselor was from Ohio but I actually worked with another person who has OCD that helped me realize all this.

@Junior96! I struggle with blasphemous thoughts and thoughts that I don’t like God, but God knows what’s truly in my heart and what I am dealing with.

@NOCD Advocate - Greg J. You’re right ! I do love God although my behavior and conduct doesn’t always align . I too deal with blasphemous thoughts . Learning to live with what’s in my mind is a huge adjustment. Thanks for your encouragement. I’ll be praying for you too !

@NOCD Advocate - Greg J. I’ve been having thoughts that say “ I don’t want to say it the way the thought say, but it’s about sell souls and making deals with evil supernatural beings” I don’t want to do it tho. Can u suggest a good ERP method for this.

@Rohan kulkarni I dealt with selling my soul thoughts too. But your soul belongs to God, you can’t sell it. That’s a myth.

Is anyone here Christian?
If you suffer from Christian OCD and feel Jesus hates you and you’re going to hell every few seconds but I keep fighting it because when I pray it says Lucifer and I refuse to pray to him. If I do Jesus will send me to hell. I’m terrified. When does it end. Some Christian’s are so peaceful, I want that.. why.. I feel cursed forever. I have faith in others journey… not mine. I’m stuck like this forever. My mind will never be the same.

Pls read
I always want to get close to God and my ocd is always related to me thinking I'm going crazy however my ocd also sticks to religion it kinda pulls me away because I'm scared that I'll go crazy if I focus too much on one thing or do too much of one thing..so I went to the dentist and I was waiting on my boyfriend when this man that was speaking about God came and he was speaking to me and he kept saying I should give my life to God and I told him I want to do it on my timing and he kept saying no and after a while he showed me something in the daily bread and he turned to another women that was a the desk of the dentist and say something along the lines of me being a dead little girl if I dnt follow the word of God or something similar 😔now this makes me scared and it puts a lot of pressure on me because now idk what to do anymore, and I'm lowkey trying to change and get closer to God in some way

Daughter asked 2 go 2 church but I have trauma.
This is not meant to fend anyone- rather your religious or not- somewhere in the middle-ect just expressing how I I feel.. I haven’t been to church since I was like… 13 years old… I’m now 34. I was raised Christian. My dad was the one who encouraged Christianity/church as a kid but he also is the person who sexually and verbally abused me, he also was an alcoholic and crack addict/drug addict. Not saying people with severe substance issues can’t be religious HOWEVER as a child he hurt me, over and over and over again. Once him and my mom split up I stopped going to church cuz I rebelled and felt like he only went to church to hide the truth of who he was. It’s just how i felt. I don’t know know truth and want know the truth becuase he died 2 years ago. The truth wouldn’t matter anyways. I’m also bisexual, and don’t beleive some of the (in my opinion) hateful judgmental things I see spread by certain religions, i do get religion is a spectrum tho. Long story to say, my 11 year old daughter has many friends who go to this specific christian church, and I agreeed to sign her up for a summer basketball team the church offers- only because the schedule worked for us and she knows kids in the program. She’s been asking to go to a few Sunday services in order to get to know the ppl /kids more so when she starts basketball she will know some ppl. So today, I’m going to church for the first time , I feel weird about it due to my past. I am not anti religion, I believe in being a good person and if god is real he will see that and that’s what matters. But church brings up trauma for me in ways. Anyone ever deal with this? Words of advice? I want to let my daughter choose her own path and explore religion if she chooses too so I am trying to support her, I’m just scared to go and feel judged cuz I literally have pink hair, piercings, tattoos, don’t agree w some extreme values ect. Idk compulsion a lot this am and heart is racing .
