I have this a lot. Praying for a person I love but don't know. I keep getting the thoughts that she's a horrible person, not worthy of my love or prayers. It hurts because it's a constant battle in my head to keep thoughts of love and kindness vs she's a harlot or stuff like that.

Have you talked to a Christian brother about that?

Have you talked to a Christian brother about that?

No, I haven't. I've been diagnosed with OCD, Intrusive thoughts and anxiety disorder. I'm kinda embarrassed to talk about it.

Do you have a Christian brother whom you trust and respect?

Do you have a Christian brother whom you trust and respect?

No i don't. I don't consider myself a Christian in traditional sense. I believe in Christ, but not Religion.

Even so, having a home church and people you can fellowship with is good.

To be honest, I've been though all that before. I'm at the point where my faith and trust in God being love is at an all time low. I look at life like it's death ow, I'm just waiting on my time.

That's all the more reason to have a home church. See

I believe God is gonna do what he wants. If Jesus was the plan for humanity, but humanity had to believe and accept it in this fallen state, well that's a vey weak plan, and makes Satan stronger.

Are you saying that you are not living in a fallen world?

Are you saying that you are not living in a fallen world?

No, I'm not saying that. I know we live in a fallen world. What i'm saying is if traditional church teaching of Turn or Burn is true, then God made a huge mistake, and most of his creation are doomed.

 

[tonychanyt]

I know we live in a fallen world.

Right.

Are you saying that you don't need other fellow Christians?

 

[StuartB]

I'm saying i don't believe Jesus came to start a religion, but rather to learn from him.

Would you consider finding a fellow brother whom you can trust and respect and talk to him about your concerns, OCD and otherwise?

 

[StuartB]

Possibly. I just want to be sure the two people i pray for will be safe
