just me and question

[rgart]

Hi everyone- couldn't get logged on so am now using this ID, still ocd'g.... question- do you all struggle with Bible translations? Which one is best, or is that ocd??? I look back on my early christian walk and my struggles in those days, and doesn't seem like much has changed....

you must be careful about labelling things ocd that is a problem with ocd sufferes it becomes a habit ...

youre case may or may not be but i think struggling with that does not indicate ocd

 

[Christian Sojourner]

I like the NKJV, but that's not out of any obsession or compulsion. I doubt it's related to OCD, but if you keep reading a verse over and over until it feels right, then it's OCD!

If you obsess TOO much about it, I think it could very well be indicative of an OCD problem. I have obsessed in an OCD way about what a certain verse means. Not so much the entire translation. Like everything with OCD, a lot depends on the extent to which we take it. Everyone wants a translation that accurate, but how much do you obsess about that would seem to be the defining question IMO.

Thanks for your thoughts, in a way I can see its impulsive- but also i struggle with how do we know what is the accurate version... my ocd is for the most part livable lately, but 'what if' syndrome really gets me sometimes...

The "what ifs" have been a large OCD struggle for me in general.

Yes- i tink someting i tend to forget, ontop of ocd and other issues i have, ptsd and panic, there are normal personality stuff... ocd really can complicate things... but just learning to turn the brain off and relax, someone once said, can't remember if it is here or not, when in deep ocding, read psalms- and you know, it does help..
