extremely weak conscience?

[JoshIcedogs]

Does anyone or has anyone gone through this?
I have an extremely weak conscience, i look around and i see Christians do things that i am just unsure of. (not talking about any sin highlighted in the bible). Its almost like i scared to do anything that is not underlined in the bible as good. and if there is something that is debateable on wether it is good or bad i often not do it, this wouldn't seem like a bad thing on the surface but there is a lot that is debateable on bad and good.
How did you make these changes? if you went through this?

Well I guess it depends on what you are talking about. Since my OCD has hit I have been on my sister alot about her sins of premarital sex and masturbation. The thing is I am not trying to judge her just enlighten her but before OCD came I would have never mentioned it. So i sorta understand.

I suppose I don't entirely understand your question. You're saying that you are afraid your conscience is weak because whenever you aren't completely sure about whether something is right or wrong, you usually do it anyway?

If that's the case, then I would say it really depends. There isn't a fine line in areas like this, especially considering the fact that you have OCD. (or so I assume you have it since you're posting in the OCD forum). Maybe by doing something you aren't sure is right or not, you are sinning. However, you might also just be having excessive OCD worries. Sometimes you might be sinning by doing it, AND you are getting obsessive compulsive reactions to it.

I still struggle in this area, though, it used to be far harder when my OCD was at its high. I suppose my advice would be to definitely consider the morality of any choice you make, but try not to take the analyzation to an extreme. Those of us who suffer from OCD can really create an obscure nightmare in our brains if we allow ourselves to hyper-analyze everything. At some point, you just have to make a decision and get on with your life.

Yes, and the best thing for me has been to pray to the Lord that he could help me not to judge. Something I try is when I feel a negative or condemning thought about someone, rather than think about it I try to say something nice and positive about them.
