  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

    Doubt and hurt

    I am not sure I can, since OCD attacks what we most value/like? It could also just be me rebelling against God and hold onto what I like? But I think I recognize the same „voice“ like in several other OCD forms before in my life.. Maybe I just like certain things too much? Maybe I am idolizing...

    Need help and advice with OCD and Salvation Doubts

    Yes you're right! I am trying to focus on the healing of my heart. Since I believe that God put me in a stressful position with my GF to realize what my problem in the last few years even was. Before her I used to just do what my fears /ocd demanded, now that feelings are included I couldn't...

    Need help and advice with OCD and Salvation Doubts

    Thanks for the input, yes I'd be happy to have more resources. Also I am wondering that If Real sin and real guilt is hindering a person from its relationship to God (if not repented) Wouldn't this apply for ''false sin and false guilt'' aswell? If my anxiety or false lens of God makes me think...

    Doubt and hurt

    Hey sorry for the late reply. I grew up in a christian home, so not sure when or if I ever really gave my heart to Jesus, its hard to tell. But about 2-3 year ago after a broken relationship I realized Gods help and rescue in it and my relationship to Jesus grew stronger and more intimate. Also...

    Need help and advice with OCD and Salvation Doubts

    Yes true, but does this mean sex = marriage? Meaning that if I have sex with a Girl or Girlfriend it means I got married to her? Because this would implicate that breaking up with a Person one has had sex with = Divorce? Recently a lot of fears including being a lukewarm christian has flooded my...

    Need help and advice with OCD and Salvation Doubts

    Thank you, I think its a combination of feeling unworthy (I can't really love myself either) - having a false picture of god, in which I can't accept the fact that he is proud of happy for having me, like I can't understand why he would enjoy seeing me happy. And being doubtful with everything...

    Need help and advice with OCD and Salvation Doubts

    Thanks again, appreciate it. In the past I suffered also from Scrupulosity and believing that everything I do is sin, and If I wanted to be saved by Jesus I would have to give up those things as a requirement. This distanced myself from God, since I believed he is not loving or forgiving.. Also...

    Thanks for the guide, will definitely look into it I haven't diagnosed yet officially, but I will be going to a christian psychologist in 2 weeks, so that I can talk about the spiritual side of the things aswell.

    Thanks :) I am really trying and focusing on receiving Gods true love, since I believe the lack of love and affection in my childhood is one of the reasons that my OCD can even take place..
