I would try not to pay too much attention to things like that, maybe take a break from social media or from that platform for a while to get some space to think. OCD definitely plays into things like this and can make it a lot more stressful, my guess is that reading these things is a pretty strong trigger and that trying to get some space from this kind of content will help the ocd worries to die down. Social media algorithms unfortunately can make ocd worse since things that grab your attention by stressing you out will appear more frequently in your feed. Try to notice if you are feeling any compulsions, such as a compulsion to keep checking stuff like this or a compulsion to try to figure it “for sure” if it’s true or not. Compulsions are a good sign that OCD is involved and doing those compulsions makes ocd worse. If you’re trying to make sense of stuff related to Jesus I’d recommend focusing more on the Bible or prayer rather than posts like this, though I don’t know what your particular beliefs are. For me personally in my beliefs I find that if something is from Jesus it brings feelings of peace rather than stress.
Yeah, I know some might feel this is treading more on “opinion” but I would agree with @jj5788 and say that the rapture is not biblical at all. But if you have that personal conviction then we’ll assume for a minute that it’s real. In that case I’d say the best thing you can do is leave it with God. I know it’s not easy to lay aside those worries, but bring it to God in prayer, He loves you and wants to hear your worries. Ask Him to give you strength to let things go and sit with the uncertainty.
Yeah for sure. I just get worried when I hear people like you can know of God but do you KNOW him or like the even the demons believe in tremble and that you can confess Jesus as your savior and do all these things and still not be saved so I get scared and obviously our works don’t save us but I feel like if I don’t do those things I’m not saved either cuz I want to show God I’m trying even tho it’s performance based. Pray for me I have a lot of worries 😂❤️thank you tho good points
@G C I totally understand, assurance of faith and salvation can be so stressful and overwhelming. I will be praying for you 🫶 please be sure to keep praying too! And maybe (only if you wanted) you could bring up some of these concerns with your pastor, I’m sure they’d be able to help ease your mind at least a little. I know it won’t make all the worry disappear, but it’ll give you something to look back on when you are worrying. Just a suggestion 😊
Well said @120!
““But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” Matthew 24:36 Don’t be fooled by anyone saying Jesus will come at this time or that time because nobody knows
The word Rapture isn’t even in the Bible
