Hello, I’ve read what you said and the thing is, I did all of that, years ago. Back when I was still active on here. I went through the pain of starting to watch inappropriate content again after having stopped for however long after my OCD began to flair up and I had run to God after so long of living without a...

Oof, I don’t even know how to start this. I used to be heavily active on this forum for a little while a few years ago because I was suffering heavily from OCD and was always seeking assurance and wanting answers for my questions. Sometime between then and now, I got heavily involved with...

But how can I know that it was real repentance rather than fake, manufactured repentance?

So, for a while I was worried because I feel I wasn't convicted enough or broken enough or sorrowful enough over my sins, so I worried I couldn't properly repent, and therefore I wasn't a true Christian. I would ask God over and over to give me repentance and convict me and help me hate my sins...

So something came up again from awhile back that's worrying me. For a while, I stopped playing video games because I thought God wanted me to. Not necessarily a bad thing. But I think I took it too far and started worrying that if I decided to play them again, I would either lose salvation or be...

Guys, I just wanna be clear again, I'm not contemplating getting an abortion. It was just a random thought that came to my head, that's it. I would never actually get an abortion, the thoughts just worried me.

No, it's not that, I would NEVER do that, I don't think. I know it's wrong, even with the faulty logic going through my head, and I don't think I'd ever do that. Also, couldn't this just be OCD? I've heard OCD can make you think you want to do things that you really do not.

I guess. Some of these comments are helping a bit, but the thought is still kind of there. I know OCD can cause it too, so maybe I should have just ignored it and it would have gone away. It's actually getting a bit better now.

Okay, I'm not a woman, nor have I had any children, but this is freaking me out, because thinking about this, and I think there have been points where my mind might have went there. I never actually want to do any of this and I know it's wrong, but now I'm scared that something's wrong with me...

I guess. I don't know why my mind continues to throw seemingly "reasonable" logic at me when I try to fight these thoughts that attempt to "justify" sin. I don't know. Maybe OCD, but it still sucks.

The biggest thing, and the thing that worries me the most, is that couldn't someone argue they are being selfless by choosing to sin, thereby submitting themselves to God's wrath and anger, if it prevents the same fate from happening to the baby? This, right here, is the most frightening part...

The thing that bothers me most is the "logic" going through my head. It basically says that even though killing babies is wrong, it leads to good, and even if the ends don't justify the means and I get punished (going to hell), it's worth it for the baby. How do I combat this logic in my head? I...

I keep getting thoughts that abortion is okay because it sends babies to heaven before they have the choice to deny Jesus. I know this doesn't justify abortion, but I can't get the thought out of my head and I'm worried I believe it. Trying to counter the thought doesn't help. For example, I'll...

So is the vow still in effect?

What I'm asking though is if the vow is still in effect and if I'm sinning every time I play the games because of it.

How does this answer my question? It's not about the compulsions and stuff, it's the vow I'm asking about.

So a while back I was in a really bad OCD moment of doubting my salvation and I think I might have promised God that I would never play video games again or something because I thought He wouldn't save me unless I gave them up or something. So for a while I didn't play games because I thought if...

It's more like I spend most if not all my time playing video games and stuff like that and like no time praying or reading the Bible or spending time with the Lord and I've felt that if God asked me to give up video games (like I had to choose between them or Him) i had strong feelings I would...

Now I keep getting thoughts that I don't want God to exist or that if I just fall away and stop believing I'll be happier, and I can't get rid of them. Whenver I try to think about God and how much He loves me all I can think about is not wanting Him to be real. I feel so against God right now...

My fears and doubts are all valid. It seems I love the world more than serving God. I don't even feel any love for God. Right now, video games are the central thing in my life it looks like. I can't do this. After asking over and over for a new heart, new desires, etc., nothing has changed. I've...
