Is this just me or when you come across Christian shorts on tik tok or YouTube do you feel obligated to watch them. I feel like if I don't watch them then I am sinning. But most of these videos are just repeating the same thing. Idk if this is just me but I just feel like I have to watch them because it's would be worse to not watch them than to break a commandment.
The Bible does not say, "you must watch every christian tiktok." You're okay to skip them.
@WarriorForChrist To be honest a lot those TikTok’s have bad unhealthy toxic habits/ ideals that god did not say to do and are false information and goes completely against what the bible says some times.
I have also do that , in reality god does not care if you watch those or not , he cares if grow what the Bible calls fruits of the spirit and showing others to him. This sounds more like a ocd Compulsion, religious OCD, in this case fear of offending God as the obsession. It is ok to watch Christian short but don’t watch them out of fear of sinning. That is not a sin, your ocd making that up. Remember god wants you worship him in a way that makes you grow spiritually. For example you could try joining and church group or praying before bed very night. In the end everyone worships god differently and that is ok . Everyone’s Relationship with God is different, that’s part of what makes it special. Stay strong don’t let ocd affect your faith:)
you definitely do not have to watch them. i have been through a similar situation, and i feel like tiktoks like that specifically pray on people with ocd. your relationship with God is unique to you and him, and i’m sure God knows you well enough to know that you aren’t a sinner for skipping someone’s video, especially any that were made to garner likes,reposts, or is just blatant fear mongering. stay strong! you got this! this is not a sin, this is just you saying “NO” to a compulsion.
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❤️
Im not religious or anything I do believe in God I guess that would be Christianity but I don’t call myself a Christian due to me in life seeing a lot of Christians are such hypocrites and something regarding to this on TikTok has been very triggering for me I don’t know has anyone seen those people inducing fear by basically telling people that they will be going to hell if they don’t give their life to Jesus Christ because of the end times ? Like I don’t understand if our religion is about love and etc why are most Christians hateful and just bad… and what is the end times it seems like they say it’s the end times every year and how would you even know if it was the end times your not God like I think a lot of Christians think they know everything because who even gave you the right to start telling everyone the end times are coming … and like now I’ve been scared I’m go to hell so now my thoughts has me freaking out on me going to hell
Today I was listening to a sermon, and it was about pleasing God. Sometimes the preacher mentioned people who are not right with God, and I got scared. Sometimes I wonder what if it is conviction. But then I go and I pray but there’s some anxiety and I feel like I’m trying to force myself to do something. So it feels like either I was triggered by the sermon and as a compulsion I tried to pray really hard, or am I ignoring something? I feel like I am being OCD but I fear what if that is conviction. I know that repentance is not always easy, but I feel like sometimes I put unnecessary burdens on myself.
