I'm not trying to give reassurance but Jesus says in Romans 10:9 ESV [9] because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. https://bible.com/bible/59/rom.10.9.ESV Jesus loves you!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️☠️
I'm so sorry I meant to put a heart at the end, that was a mistake sorry
Thank youuu so much my friend I trully appreciate it ❤️
@My_Wretched_Mind No worries my friend I understood... You are super amazing
What defines a bad person in your mind and what thoughts are you having?
Im afraid of my false memories... I have values and i Hope i didnt do something wrong
@Sparkle2022 And waters wet and fires hot. I’m not trying to be combative but this is more vague than your post. Part of ERP is taking a fear and facing it and realizing you can live with it. The following is just my opinion but based off living with ocd for 30 years. Since your reply is really open I will try to give a broad perspective. Your issue is not with god or your values or any morality violation. Willing to bet 99% of all humans have all of those and most violate someone’s morality everyday. You have OCD and any thing you value , ocd will crap all over. Your issue is you are unwilling to live with uncertainty. More specifically the uncertainty of am I a good person am I doing right by my values or my god. The answer is maybe? We have no way of knowing what god is thinking. Him/her is outside our realm of existence. You might have done something wrong… or maybe not. I am assuming you drive? Or at least walk outside your house to do things. Maybe work or visit family. Every time you get into a car you are taking on a whole crap load of uncertainty. Yet we still do it. You go somewhere not knowing if you will end up in a car wreck, or building collapse or something awful. But you can accept that uncertainty cause your ocd does not care about it. But because you care about morals and god, OCD is like mmmm let me get some of that doubt. Try this today. Next time your ocd says oh wow you might have done something really bad, you are going strait to hell…. Say maybe … maybe not, I don’t really know. OCD hates uncertainty… it starves ocd. Compulsive behaviors feed it. let us starve that prick. Here is the only reassurance I will give you. You are beautiful because you are human and you are the only you. You are a good person because I don’t believe a “bad” person would be on a site looking for help to get better mentally. Bad people assume they are fine and everyone else is the problem. I wish you the best of luck!
@I’m Batman Thank youuu so much my friend.. I trully appreciate it... You are super awesome.. I will do that... Starting from today
Instead of being scared of Hell, can you think how we can be busy during our Eternal dwelling in Heaven? Any ideas?
I believe in heaven... I Hope God forgives what ever i might have done... I have these false memories that make me think i dont deserve heaven
@Sparkle2022 In my faith as a Muslim, we believe that if God were to apply only His justice, none of us would deserve Heaven because we are all sinners. However, God is also All-Merciful and Forgiving. This means we have the opportunity to receive His mercy and enter Heaven. To do so, we must repent and call upon Him using His words, through which He has promised unconditional forgiveness.

Does anyone else’s false memory intrusive thoughts of what could have happened feel very, very real?
I feel like a lot of my fears are actually just centered around what other people think of me because I'm scared of being abandoned and no one loving me anymore. I don't actually feel like my fears are about being a good person. And then when I have this thought it makes me feel even worse because many people here genuinely seem to be scared of being a bad person. I feel like an actual bad person who's more concerned with appearances than anything else :(. I keep having these thoughts like what kind of person am I when I'm alone and with my thoughts. And then I get scared to be alone.
I have had the same false memory/instrusive image of me doing something horrible to someone when I was 12 and they were younger. It is a memory based on a real event. I truly don’t know if it’s real or not but obviously, the more I think about it the more I think it’s true. This has led my mind to become slightly paranoid. I worry that if this horrible image in my head is true then one day the person I might have hurt will come and k*ll me. I’m really scared I feel like I won’t feel better as long as this “memory” is in my head. Does anyone have advice?
