Is anyone else here following the Trim Healthy mama plan?

Faith is not a feeling. Those of us with OCD have feelings that are way out of whack and we can't trust those feelings. You aren't saved by YOUR faith. You are saved by Jesus. It is HIS faithfulness that saves. Stop looking inward at yourself and look AT Jesus. Keep yourself focused on the...

Thank you for the scriptures!

I do think those that believe in the coming Messiah BC were saved, just as we are, by faith in Christ. I can see waiting until Jesus to reveal hell.

OK. I understand what you're saying. Thanks!

Sorry, I quoted you :-) So you are saying that God chose to wait to reveal this to people until they were better people. I can see waiting to reveal this to people, but I think there is nothing new under the sun. We aren't any better now that when Adam and Eve were in the garden.

No problem! :-)

I am not saying I don't believe in hell. I am trying to understand why it's not mentioned in the OT.

I posted part of this in the "Ask a Chaplain" forum last night but I couldn't post it here until now for some reason. I'd love to get some thoughts on this. I'm trying to do a study on hell after reading a book on it. I did some research and it appears that hell is not mentioned in the OT...

Sorry! I will look for that board.

OK, that makes sense. I have brain fog today, sorry.

I am sorry but I am not sure what you're asking. I think we have been given all we need in the Bible and we don't need any extra revelation. I am confused as to why you linked the verse you did? 2 Cor 12:8 For this thing, I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

I went through a serious crisis of faith two years ago. One day I was really broken and begging Jesus to forgive me, when suddenly I heard an audible voice in my head say," I already did." I was so clear and real that I have no doubt it was the Lord. Of course at the time I doubted because I...

Thank you all for the replies. You have encouraged me! I keep forgetting to keep my eyes on Jesus and start looking inward. Things spiral downward from there. I need to trust His word and not my feelings. I know this but yet I keep doing it. Thanks for the reminder!

if they doubt that they are saved? I have heard saving faith is putting your trust in the work of Jesus Christ. If I doubt that I am saved, then I can't be putting my trust in Him? Can someone be saved, even when they doubt that they are saved? I do have OCD which makes this so difficult.

I think a lot of people go through some sort of time of doubt at one point in their walk of faith. I think those with OCD, such as myself, struggle with it more often. But even John the Baptist doubted! And the Lord responded with compassion and love. This article is from Desiring God. I can't...

I ask just about every single day to be saved or for the assurance that I am saved.
