• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I had bad thoughts about Jesus

I was laying in bed thinking about how the people in the Old Testament were justified by faith before Jesus and wondered why we need Jesus if they were already forgiven. I had many bad thoughts about Jesus that I do not want to mention. But this stemmed from ignorance of how forgiveness of OT sins worked.

I had asked God for a better understanding and ran into this post where people explain everything, like it was meant for me to see.

What was Jesus’ purpose if sins were forgiven before His Incarnation?

So Jesus is NOT useless, He is very useful and a blessing to all mankind, and I am sorry God for any bad thoughts I had. I repent from these thoughts. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ!

Just felt the need to confess this publicly as it helps me.

Good for you. We need to remember that the OT was God's dealings with the nation of Israel, not the whole world. If Israel could have saved the world, Lord Jesus would not have needed to come. But the blood of animals was never enough to remove sin. Lord Jesus had to come and die so that sin could be removed, not just covered over. And He had to rise again so that we could live. God's plan is that the Universe and heaven should be under the authority of His Son. Lord Jesus is not just useful. He is everything.

Dear brother thinking thoughts about Jesus is not wrong, from not knowing to knowing takes thought.

It is about coming to a right conclusion about our thoughts where the blessing rests. If you think lies about Jesus then you will not serve Him, or know Him rightly, so it is best to check all your thoughts past the word of God. So get to know that!

i found the word to be a watchtower in my life. Each time some wrong thoughts worm themselves into my reality the Word warns me and sets me straight. i will always love Jesus for the safety the word has given me.

Let The word guide you in the Spirit of love for God and neighbour and you will never look back.

Listen to what you wrote.

You were in bed thinking about God and then... Come on man, that has demon written all over it trying to get you to stop thinking about God.

Did it get you to stop thinking about God? I bet it did.
