Um… No. Our brains just have intrusive thoughts pop in. If you look it up, science can’t explain it. It just happens 💜

I don't think God would punish us for things outside of our conscious control, and that would include intrusive thoughts. It's only the thoughts you want to experience that might qualify as sins. Maybe you could sit with the uncertainty of whether your thoughts are sinful or not, if that's something that fills you with doubt. If they are, what would the consequences of that be? God would still love you no matter what

Hello. Your asking something I have asked and worried about many times. And I firmly believe no one understands us more than God. Jesus came for the imperfect and the sick. Many times I have worried about God punishing me for something OCD related. Like something bad happening to me or a loved one. And I always just need to remind myself that's not how The Man Upstairs rolls. OCD is trying to lie to you, don't let it.

Depends which god and religion you're getting these phobias from.

Intrusive thoughts
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅

Does confessing an intrusive thought just make it come back stronger?

Religion related thoughts
I don't really know if it's OCD, but lately I've been thinking a lot and in a very obsessive way that every single one of my actions, words or even thoughts will affect on how God will make decisions about my life. For example, if I lie to someone or yell at them out of anger, God will make happen something bad to me as a "punishment". I know it might seem silly, but it really really freaks me out sometimes... Does anyone feel the same? And if so, do you do something in particular to feel better? Thanks for your understanding❤️
