    Can you help with this quandary?

    Hello, I wonder if you might help me work out this for me? A little background first, so bear with me as its relevant. Hugely influenced by Buddhism for many years, I mean decades - I had an experience that dictated I started to develop a faith in Christ. I won't go into the details, but it...

    Why is God road blocking my path to change?

    Coming here feels like an act of desperation. The last year and a half of my life has been hell. Ruminating through the past is rather inconsequential, but let’s just say it’s been full of death threats, people actively trying to destroy my life, my social circle dissolving, and ultimately what...

    Doubtful thoughts are hitting me hard. Trying to say new testament is evil and not true. Please help

    My thoughts are asking what if the people who wrote the new testament were evil and its not true. Like they were demons. This is so frustrating. I'm so upset and frustrated that I have these thoughts. They try and turn me away from Jesus and I hate it so much. How do I dispute these thoughts...

    Ocd wants me to doubt the Bible

    This is more of a vent. Anyone who has dealt with this, I'd appreciate advice but don't feel pressured. My ocd right now is revolved on doubting the Bible and Jesus. How do I know? What if? Those are my main two thoughts. Its just so irritating. I want to believe but it feels like I'm stuck in...

    Bear in mind, even if you survive your mental health issue, persecutions will follow?

    Hi there, So yes Mark 10:30 makes it very clear, that what we suffer for God and His kingdom will be rewarded but that even being rewarded, there will be persecutions that follow with that rewarding. It's like someone learning to ride a bike, if they have an accident on the footpath - running...

    If you can't stop (I know the feeling), choose someone you know can trust to lust after

    Hi there, Yeah so you might need to pray about this, that God give you someone you know you can trust to objectify "sexually" - someone you would marry, if you had the choice. The point being that you lust after this one person and only one person - even if you are tempted to lust after...

    Belief and identity

    Interested in people's thoughts about how belief is supported by identity and vice versa. Some definitions: I'd rather not get sidetracked into discussions of what belief means, so belief for this thread just means what you happen to think is true. Identity - for this discussion everything...

    (Answered) Suffering ocd, anxiety Very confused and need help

    So lets start at the beginning. Ive always had some ocd. I remember being five and trying to go to go to bed and picturing blocks going together in my head, seeing them fit snugly together was very satisfying, but they would always mess up somehow and I would not be able to relax until I made...

    The world feels threatened, from beginning to end

    Hi there, So I realise you may be struggling spiritually; and you may be wondering "Why do people attack me?" I just want to say 'you'll get through it', nothing has tempted you but that which is common to man (1 Cor 10:13) - these threats you feel, this doubt you have, is all because the world...

    Afraid and in doubt?

    Don't look at the wind! Look straight and walk toward Jesus. Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Proverbs 4:25 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of...

    Intellectual Doubts

    Intellectual doubts usually aren’t a problem for me. But for the last day or so, they’ve been bouncing around my head and I can’t seem to get them out. Last night, I went to read through a psalm before bed and everything I read just sounded ridiculous as I read it. Like I couldn’t believe it...

    I have been falling away from God for 11 months.

    I can barely hold faith, I have trouble reading the bible and praying. The thing that hardest for me is to hold faith in Jesus. The way I started doubting was I started getting gut feelings I was going to hell and I could do nothing about it. I was deceived into believing this because i trusted...

    Afraid I'm Fake

    I guess this is something of a follow-up from my first-ever thread. I received a lot of great advice there, and I'm very thankful for it. I'm still struggling with making God the center of my life. I pray about it all the time. I know I can love God much more than I do now, and I want to. I...
