I just wanted to give my story and hope it helps someone out there. On March 3rd 2010, I was suddenly hit with blasphemous throughts. That morphed into a number of OCD triggers and a downward spiral of depression. It was by far the worste thing I had ever gone through. I thought I had...

I can, and I'm sorry to hear you struggle with that. Having that happen at night is the worst, because you want rest but cannot. When I first experienced panic over salvation almost 2 years ago, it happened almost every night as I fell asleep. I would go weeks with 2 or 3 hours of poor sleep...

I found that searching certain phrases like "blasphemous thoughs anxiety", or similar topics, will show a lot of my forum posts right on the top of the search engine in google. It bothered me at first, but its pretty cool that people can relate me my struggles and won't feel alone when they...

I think you are putting the cart before the horse here. You are trumping salvation with predestination. While I am not a calvanists, so I don't hold that viewpoint, even if I were, the Bible clearly states the moment you are saved (which is the moment the Holy Spirit comes to inhabit you), is...

No, I believe that refers to his calling in your life as a Christian, if He has called you to missions, preaching, teaching, etc.

I appreciate all of the really awesome comments. They have all given me a lot to think and pray about. @ Alive Again, many great suggestions in that post. I regulary plead the blood of Jesus over my household and anoint the door posts with oil. I have been doing that for years. When I hop...

Jedi.Kep, It seems like you have either a possitive or at the very least a neutral view of RPG's. You said you played those games before you got saved, was their a specific reason you stopped? I had to laugh at that because a lot of what passes as "magic" in games is in no way mimicing...

Thank you very much for well thought out responce. I will be PMing you soon.

I was just wondering if anyone knows the stance that Rhema has on it or someone in Word of Faith. That is basically any game that is based on fantasy and magic. Not necessarily D&D or WoW, but just any game that would fall into the catageory. Is it looked at as sinful or is it one of those...

I was laughing a little bit at this, I wrote that comment almost 1 year and and you just responded.

That is powerful. You went through your trials about 1 1/2 years before mine began, so when I was at my worst, you were just getting out of yours. And now you are completely free from it, and I am also so much more free than I was. I love being able to see where you are now, and know that is...

My guess is that the deciples probably wouldn't have died grousom horrible deaths, beatings and rejection; if they weren't Christians. I am saying that just to remind you that you came to Christ because you know you are a sinner and need forgiveness that only the blood of Jesus can offer, to be...

The real goal is not to try to fight the doubts, as in trying to prove to your mind that the earth was created by God. Their is proves all around, but you will never get enough to wrestle away the doubt. Actually, to more you try to disprove the doubts, the stronger they get. I am traveled down...

By that statement either you mean its sole purpose if for the lost to come and be saved, or that believers are filthy sinners? My sins are as far removed from me as the east is from the west, now and forever more. The house of God is meant for the saints to worship, the building up of the...

Sad part is I have seen more defense of going to the heathen bar more than in being in the house of God.

I know it can be very hard, but don't ever give into the idea that its Gods plan for you to live a life of fear. It may be very well that it's Gods plan to allow struggles in, so your faith can grow, but God fully expects you to rise to the challenge and overcome those obsticles. Just keep...

I love playing ping pong, but if the only ping pong table in the world was in a strip club I wouldn't go.

I read my Bible, couldn't find anywhere Jesus was hanging out in a tavern. Most of the time Jesus was with sinners, he was in their own household. The Bible said their are places that even angels fear to go. You are pretty bold to take yourself into a place full of the devil.

As far as Biblical marriage goes, the only requirement is even yoke. Beyond that, if you fall in love you should get married. You know if that person is physically attractive in your eyes, if they have a personality you like, if you could see yourself with them. As long as they are godly, you...
