If its OCD it makes you believe that you are not able to be redeemed, you'll feel guilt, shame, and worthlessness and overall you'll be obsessed. But if God's convicting you none of this will happen. You'll understand what you have done and feel the need to repent and do better.
I don't think God would convict you of something like ocd. I've had OCD about the unparnable sin until I found out what it really was. It's basically not accepted Jesus up to the day you die. It's not slandering or anything else like that, still, I still have these thoughts about what about this, or what about that, I still have flashbacks and I still fear fear, but I keep going living Day by day. Don't think about the future, or the past, think about living day by day and surviving it.
Living with OCD like this is a real pain. you question yourself every day and I ruminate constantly fearing God wouldn't love me. Still I get help from other people and fight this thing out. After all I might have a thing of like putting a middle finger to a stained glass window with a dove but I don't do it. It hurts. And confusion, talk to your pastor and also talk to get the help that you need. Keep fighting the good fight.
I would just look to the Bible so if you get convicted about something the Bible doesn’t condemn it probably is your ocd
what if it’s a grey area?
@rem Usually grey area is probably just ocd but it entirely depends on what it is, if you don’t mind give me an example
@Twrecks sry I meant to reply to u directly, what if you liked a character that did bad things but u obviously don’t condone those things they’re doing. for ex. someone having like a character like Loki
@rem I mean that’s such a minor thing, if you like him for his personality despite his sin it sounds like you ocd is just getting at you
Sometimes I have thoughts that I would normally assume to be ocd, not sound like ocd. I start to think/feel that it's God telling me to do these things?? I then end up feeling guilty for not immediately implementing these things into my life. I hate that so much of what used to feel like ocd seems unclear. I don't feel like a good person. I know a lot of sermons aren't made with ocd in mind, but I feel like I'm not listening to God if I don't listen to thoughts I would've thought were ocd before
I am a Christian and I was wondering with religious OCD that if you give in to a compulsion does that mean you agree with the thought or actually want it?
