As a Roman Catholic, I believe that vanity in excess (as opposed to moderation) is harmful and sinful if we idolize it, because that takes away from our relationship with God. However, it is not sinful to practice self care by using beauty products/taking time to look pretty; style is one of God’s gifts because it helps us express ourselves and brings us joy in the short term. Of course, looking good will not bring us eternal/lasting joy, just like money or any other material, earthly thing won’t. Just because our relationship with God brings eternal joy doesn’t mean we aren’t allowed as his people to enjoy the beauty of his world in other ways, whether that be through nature, ourselves, or each other. Hope this helps.

A good thing to remember is that there is nothing we can do to earn or lose our salvation. We can’t earn salvation. Salvation is not by things we do, it is by Gods grace alone! Also, we can not lose it. Nothing can pluck us from Gods hand. We will still sin, but Jesus’ blood covers it all. Hope that helps!

Styling yourself and wanting to look good is not a sin. As long as you do good things and not intentionally hurt other people or living things, I don’t think you’ll go to hell cause of it. Is your boyfriend okay? Why does he send those to you?

My beliefs are that Our salvation covers ALL our sins. Past, present, and future. God asks us to confess our sins daily as a sign of humility and obedience, but it doesn’t resave us! Once saved always saved! In John 10:28-30 Jesus says that No one can pluck someone out of His hand! Once you are in His hand (saved) no scheme of hell (temptation and sin) can take you from him. We will never be perfect. Because we are human, but after salvation we should strive to follow God. If and when we mess up the Bible tells that where sin abounds, grace abounds even more! He will forgive us but Once your saved you can’t lose it!

I've heard we can lose it ? like, if you die while being in sin and didn't have time to repent. I personally repent everyday for my known and unknown sins. But sometimes I get really scared and I imagine the worst case scenario @OCDnewbieS

Hey Ocdnewbies I like this. Like God forgive all ours sins, past, present and future ones. I have problems with porn and masturbation and I keep asking forgiviness and confessing it every time it happens, but some times I think I am being hypocrite and playing fool with God. I dont understand the once saved always saved, but I want to believe in it. I want to be free from this sin wich make me go into a cycle, that make me feel that I am losting my salvation and being far from God. Idk if you will read this, but if so give me an aswer please.

Is anyone else here a Christian dealing with ocd? I could use some support because I've been having a hard time growing close to God ever since my ocd started getting bad. I deal with a lot of religious intrusive thoughts such as being unforgivable, or being cursed or possessed. What's some advice?

I always want to get close to God and my ocd is always related to me thinking I'm going crazy however my ocd also sticks to religion it kinda pulls me away because I'm scared that I'll go crazy if I focus too much on one thing or do too much of one thing..so I went to the dentist and I was waiting on my boyfriend when this man that was speaking about God came and he was speaking to me and he kept saying I should give my life to God and I told him I want to do it on my timing and he kept saying no and after a while he showed me something in the daily bread and he turned to another women that was a the desk of the dentist and say something along the lines of me being a dead little girl if I dnt follow the word of God or something similar 😔now this makes me scared and it puts a lot of pressure on me because now idk what to do anymore, and I'm lowkey trying to change and get closer to God in some way

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❤️
