And everything I read is condemning ?
I'm in such a horrible mindset :( about 10 yrs ago a different theme of ocd led me to cry out to Jesus for help. I didn't realize what was happening was ocd. Now for the past almost 4 yrs. I've wondered if I'm even saved, wondered if I'm even a real Christian, if I am why can't I find rest in his words :( then I have horrid thoughts that make me doubt his word. I believe it for my children but I can't heart apply it for myself :( if I can't get to that point how can I ever rest ,and maybe I'm not saved yet and this is what God is trying to get me to wake up to?! What do your thoughts look like? I'm so scared I'm going to hell
All things are all things.. Even the OCD
I am not a bible-believing Christian. I believe that God will send the people with good hearts to Heaven, regardless of their religion. I believe that an atheist that has saved lives and spread love deserves Heaven 1000% more than a Christian who “murdered people in the name of Christ”. It took me a long time to get to that viewpoint. For a long time I was in tears and terrified of going to Hell, and that my boyfriend was going to Hell (he’s an atheist). Luckily (I guess??) my Pure O focused on other areas and my religious beliefs are more set in stone.
Right here!
Me too! I struggle with Pure O/Accidental Harm OCD
I am a Christian with Pure O, I believe in Romans 8:28 that all things work together for good for those who love God.
Read the "Testimonials" at the link above. I found it very inspiring
Horribly
Are there any Christians on here that have also experienced guilt from sexual curiosity as a child? How do you deal with it in terms of God forgiving you? Sometimes I find it so confusing and difficult being a Christian with OCD...
Hi y’all! I just want to let you know that I struggled and still do sometimes with scrupulosity , (a form of ocd where you have spiritual bad thoughts about God) And The Lord Jesus helped me out of it. I pretty much all of the time felt condemned and separated from God, and saw Him through the “ocd goggles,” where I saw a god throwing burdens on me and looking only at my “perfectness” which no human can be—perfect. So Jesus Helped me by showing me the TRUE Jesus, the One talked about in the Holy Bible—the Kind, Gentle, Living and patient Savior. God sent His Son, Jesus into this world 2000 years ago to die for our sin, cause yes—we all do deserve God’s Just and Holy wrath—but Jesus came to take all of our sin upon Him because He is prefect and sinless, The Spotless Lamb, and God credits Jesus’ Righteousness to anyone who JUST Believes in Jesus, and they will be completely pardoned from that point on. There is nothing we can do to be separated from God, for once we believe in His Son Jesus, He becomes our Father. The Bible says all we need to do is believe, so for those of you who think you aren’t going to Heaven because of some thing you did, yet you believe in Jesus—then that is a lie. Romans tells us we are justified by Faith : Romans 3:21-28 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets, even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for ALL those who believe, there is no distinction; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a GIFT by his grace through the redemption which is in Jesus Christ; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in his blood through FAITH. This was to demonstrate his righteousness, because in the forbearance of God he passed over the sins previously committed, for the demonstration I say of his righteousness at the present time so that he would be just in the justifier of the one who has FAITH IN JESUS; where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. After justification (being pardoned of our sin through Jesus Christ thru Believing In HIM) comes sanctification (the process that lasts our entire lifetime growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ our Savior, producing Fruit of the Spirit, —we can only do all this through Jesus and His Holy Spirit, because Jesus said in Matthew that we can do NOTHING apart from Him. Just remember—refuse to listen to the lies of the devil and your feelings, and look to Jesus and His perfect sacrifice and how He says He will never leave you nor forsake you and “never cast you out” (John 6:37) God bless you and trust Jesus not your thoughts and feelings. Glory to God only, amen.
