I don't know how to combat these thoughts tbh

Dealing with ocd since age 7 on and off it's all good until it gets spiritual but I'm like how can God forgive these thoughts that feel like they're coming from me? I was binging cookies and I already thought I'm going to finish these as soon as I pick up the cookie- God wouldn't like that. You know you're destroying His temple. And then a random thought. I'll do what I want. Worship how I want. Bruh what??????? Is this what He meant by Haughty spirit? And if i chalk it up to OCD will I be considered of flattering the Lord with my lips (denying it verbally that it's OCD) but in my heart there's malice? Is it dual mindededness any theologians here?

There are sins we know we deliberately commit, and sins we commit without knowing. We're not sinners because we sin, we sin because we're sinners. Jesus covered it all when He took on the form of sinfulness on our behalf, "He became sin, who knew no sin..." so we could become righteous before God, and in God's presence. When we receive Jesus Christ as our Savior, place it all on Him and Him alone, we are "saved", forgiven, born again spiritually. This does not mean we won't ever sin again, we will, we do. But all sin is covered, past, present and future. Our recognizing our sin and turning from it (repentance) is an ongoing part of fellowship with God through the Holy Spirit who dwells within us. There's redemption through our monent of salvation, and ongoing redemption through fellowship with God, confession, repentance, etc. If you want, I can apply scripture to all these points, that'll take a while. Lol. :-)

It’s one thing to have the thought enter, “I’ll worship how I want.” But it’s another to agree with it and continue in that agreement of thought that clearly you did not want or like. Sin often intrudes and just because you had a thought like that doesn’t mean you gave in to that thought or aligned your heart and mind with it. Jesus’ grace is sufficient. Look to him and keep looking and focusing, feed the truthful thoughts that align with Scripture.

How I confirm I don't want it is by having to write an ocd post but on here it considered a compulsion of I just leave it and don't react to it it feels like I do want it

Religious OCD, ashamed of my thoughts

I am a christian guy who grew up in a christian community and family. For as long as i remember, ive had horrible thoughts about all kinds of things that i dont know where to begin. Due to my extreme thoughts, i feel as if i am unworthy of practicing my religioin, such as praying, reading, meditating, etc. I feel ashamed when i go to church, as if i dont belong there because i feel like i am secretely evil, and that God knows i am evil and i am committing blasphemy by going there, and refusing to "repent", from my thoughts. But then again, my thoughts are just thoughts, sure. So whats the problem? - The problem is that in my faith, i have been taught that we must control our thoughts, so they do not get power over us to make us commit sin. Such as "If you think lustfully about a woman, you have already committed adultery with her in your heart". This verse has killed my self esteem, due to the constant unwanted sexual and disturbing thoughts. It makes me feel like a monster, who secretely just wants to abuse and be horrible to people, even though i know very well i do not want this. Sometimes i think horrible things about the people i love very much, such as my girlfriend. It feels so wrong and evil, even though i know it isnt my true will.

Scrupulosity

Been having blasphemous intrusive thoughts about God. Then sometimes I’m really struggling and I feel resentful, sometimes even towards God, which I know is not right, I want to have reverence. But it feels like sometimes I think the blasphemous thoughts on purpose because of my anger. I don’t know if this is an OCD issue or an issue of my heart or both. But yeah I don’t know what to do.

Religious OCD Christian

Please help anyone else here with Religious ocd and is a Christian? My brain is going hay-wire and want to know I'm not alone... what do your thoughts say and how do you overcome compulsions? Im going through a rough moment and feel sick with anxiety and stiff. I want to obey God but my thoughts won't stop. I surrender to the Lord and then I have peace with the compulsions and they go away but the thoughts are the scary part please - is this spiritual or is it mental? Or is it both? Would love to hear a Christians opinion on this... because my thoughts latch on and won't dissappear but I know that the Bible commands us to take control of our thoughts and to renew our minds...yet God has grace for this and mercy for our every need... I know God is in control (completely) and my mind creates a lot of the issues for me without any spiritual stuff (it's a very powerful thing) but it's still scary. Lord help me, I surrender myself to you Jesus, counsel my soul and help me.
