• 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.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Me-I am confused do I have OCD or are refusing to believe? Do I have saving faith yet or not?


Pastor bob (First you have to decide if. you believe in God.No you don't have saving faith because you keep obsessing about whether there's a God, so you can't let your beliefs emerge.
[bless and do not curse]
Again, either you believe there's a God- in which case faith is possible- or you don't, in which case you need to stop obsessing about whether there's a hell.
[bless and do not curse]
There is no dilemma. There is no difficulty. There is no quandary. There's just Michelle needing to have the courage of her convictions- which I cannot supply.



Omgosh is he right I am not saved. I don't know whether I believe in God or want to. Part of me says no God part of me says you don't know that. What the world!!!!! Part of me wants to be agnostic because I think it's more rational. NO ONE on this board has ever been like that, they all wanted faith. I am so going to hell.

Everyone keeps saying you won't know what you believe until you treat your OCD. I know what I believe and it's I don't know. Just last night I was thinking why if there is a God are there so many planets not just ours and then I think maybe he is there maybe he isn't. I can't change the fact I doubt more than I believe.

i can't even say i believe i think God is possible that's not saving though. someone please help. i know you guys believe this is ocd but i am really on the fence about God existing. Some people want to believe in God but cant. i don't even want to slot but i didn't chose that, it is a product of my doubt.
