I recently had a conversation with my roommate about things that are natural and not man-made. God created us with many “unnatural” things. God gave us imigination and wonder and so the show is an extension of this. The show gives us the ability to explore and imagine, which I think God indented . Whatching the show doesnt mean you agree with its values and idea, you just engaging in it. Not commiting to it. It’s a great show because it makes you question the “natural” order of things. Idk if any of that made sense, but boom that’s what I got lol

This is a difficult one to answer, because modern television is generally going to have content that isn’t necessarily “honoring God”. I think you just have to watch these things keeping in mind that while some of the content doesn’t align with your faith, it’s just a show. It’s not like you’re doing the things the characters are doing. It’s just a story and everyone loves stories. If there’s something particularly upsetting, you can always fast forward through it. We are human and humans are curious. It’s only natural to want to watch things that catch our curiosity.

Well I think God answered my prayers because tonight was absolutely terrible. The show is always gruesome and a lot of violence, but tonight was terrible. A man killed the lady by stomping up and down with one foot on her chest. Then died after 3 times he jumped up and down and her sternum. 😭I had to fight back the tears when I saw it. I feel like it's scarred my brain with that image.... I feel like I was playing with fire to keep watching such darkness 😔😔😔

Yeah that sounds pretty terrible. I think with every new show they try to push the envelope more and more and with some things that’s fine, but with violence it’s just unnecessary and harmful to universal mental health.

@Anon4 Yes it was absolutely terrible! Films, games, music try to numb us down to murder all the time. It's almost put in a heroic and romantic sense now a days. It's terrible. I genuinely felt nauseous after seeing that scene and I tried to hold back the tears.

Hi I have a question. I love jesus he changed my life and Made me a better person but my ocd loves to confuse me so I have a problem where I remember something in the past and I repented ofc but not it makes me question my intentions and my ocd always puts the are you lying to God card which makes me super scared and then doubt occurs and I'm so exhausted I misinterpret a lot like the voice of God I keep hearing tell the truth and repent now that's it all Good if it were true see ik I'm telling the truth not because of some feeling it's because ocd's version is so ridiculous but It feels soo real I just Want go to God without feeling this fear if I'm lying to him and I fear if somehow I'm wrong. So much anxiety and questions like what if that is gods voice what if I'm wrong pls pray for me and I see videos and I'm scared if that video was sent to me by God telling me to "tell the truth" I say that because my ocd is causing me to doubt the truth being that ocd is wrong

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.

I put a trigger warning because I will be discussing themes of end of times. I feel like I'm not following God's will. God knows ultimately that things were going to speed up end of times wise. A few months ago, I had a random thought to call someone I had affected with past sin and apologize to him although I did not know he was there, my sin affected him. I know he deserves an apology, but I chalked it up to ocd and treated it as such for months fast forward to now I feel like I'm completely against God. Horrifying. It's a complex situation I caused and therefore though I know he deserves an apology I'm really scared as I created a mess of things. I've been praying that God help certain things come to fruition so I could be exposed and help minister to others if that's what He's calling me to do but no answer. Instead horrible images and thoughts and feelings of doom. I see signs to apologize everywhere. I'm at my wits end. Because I tend to get ahead of myself I asked two family members and they said don't and then I see things that say Though people in your life mean well, don't go based on what they say only what God says. I tell God to do His will and I'll follow, do you think He'll listen. I even told Him I straight up don't want to do it, not because He doesn't deserve one, but because last time I apologized to someone else I didn't do it right and it was messy. I feel so evil, like a wolf in sheep's clothing. I also remember looking up morbid things for what???? Only to be disturbed pray about it and leave by why search it up again? I also fantasized alot about guys I've been single forever, late 20s now, I'm trying to go to church and my crush is there and I try to stop thinking about him because I know it's delusional but the thoughts don't leave. I'm so tired I want to stop but stop what? Living? I want to stick to God as close as possible. I'm going crazy.
