    OCD is destroying my faith... HELP!

    Raven, I'll tell you what God has chosen. God has CHOSEN to give you the freedom to choose whom or what you put your faith in. He will not withhold Christ from someone who wants Him! That is not why you were created, and that is completely the opposite of why Jesus was even sent!

    OCD is destroying my faith... HELP!

    Faith is trusting despite doubt, not in lack of it. Just as there is no such thing as freedom without the ability to make a mistake, so there is no faith without room for doubt. The question is not, "do you or do you not doubt?" But it's "do you or do you not accept the doubts you have?" No one...

    For those who have or do doubt God exists

    Raven, If you desire Christ, you may have Him. The ability to believe is always there. It's when you choose not to accept Him that you have no faith.

    For those who have or do doubt God exists

    Raven, I'm glad to really see your thought process! :-) I have doubted for about three years now, possibly even longer, and I'm positive they have been tremendously affected by OCD, though I only finally sought help and was thus officially diagnosed with it six months ago. Tonight I have even...

    For those who have or do doubt God exists

    You CAN refute them. That doesn't mean that they go away or feel less real. If someone runs up to you and screams, "KANGAROOS ARE TAKNG OVER THE WORLD!' and your mind makes you feel that they just might be right, do you just say, "Well, okay, then that's how it is!" Of course not! You can...

    OCD is destroying my faith... HELP!

    I was indeed referring to Colossians 1:22. Matthew 11: 4 - 6 4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: 5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy[b] are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the...

    For those who have or do doubt God exists

    Raven, you are saved! Please continue to deny the doubts as you are. You are on the right path, but you must attempt to get out of this Pascal wager loop that keeps tripping you up; it's incorrect, and does not correspond with what the Bible says about what faith and belief are. The more you try...

    OCD is destroying my faith... HELP!

    And always be very careful when reading Bible verses! Your OCD can blow them way out of context and proportion. Remember this!

    OCD is destroying my faith... HELP!

    Friend, Do you mean this verse? But you must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it. Don’t drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News. The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed as God’s servant...

    For those who have or do doubt God exists

    So you do not choose Christ? You're confident enough in the "evidence" against Him that you can make a decision not to believe? I really think that if you convert to atheism your OCD will start terrifying you with evidence FOR Christ. Because you have OCD, Jesus is not going to seem very real...

    Its Been So Hard

    Hermit7, Totally have these kinds of thoughts pop into my head every day! I just try and combat them with a cognitive rebuttal. I know that I would never trade Christ in for anything. Just because a thought pops into my head or I feel like I made a quick decision against Christ for a few...

    For those who have or do doubt God exists

    If you choose Jesus as your savior and have asked Him to save you, no matter your doubts or feelings, I believe you are saved.

    For those who have or do doubt God exists

    You absolutely must believe in Christianity, and denying your doubts or feelings is neither healthy nor productive. It's just a question of what 'belief' is. You must try to accept that you CAN believe while doubting. I think it's impossible for anyone, OCD or not, not to doubt at at least some...

    OCD and feeling condemned

    Q1108, I've been struggling with OCD of a similar sort for a few years now. OCD always tries to convince you that what you fear most (such as losing your salvation or relationship with God) is a reality. But you should be encouraged! The very fact that you are worried about these things shows...

    For those who have or do doubt God exists

    Raven, Thanks for clearing that up for me! Trust obviously isn't something you physically do. It is merely a decision you make. All you have to do is say that you trust Jesus to be real and to be your one and only savior no matter what you feel and to keep this decision and not change your...
