Question about OCD and free will

[picassoui]

I was reading brain lock by and the author was saying that OCD cannot override youre will .. Well i see what he is saying for example i have had harm thoughts that i would never do ..but i started thinking about blasphemous thoughts and accidental speaking blasphemy ..when the latter happens is it not a result of ocd ?and if so then is it not against our will ?

because obviously we do what we don't wish to do at all. ?

the concern is .. if OCD never produces this then is it really comming from our own heart or will ..

i hope that makes sense

A person with OCD that does not accept Christ will go to hell just as a "normal" person without OCD who does not accept Christ will go to hell. But I also believe that an OCD person who has accepted Christ, is saved by Christ forever. Just as a non OCD person is that is saved by Christ, is saved forever.

I think the author of Brain Lock, is referring to our actions, not our thoughts etc. And like the thoughts, I think this would also include stuff that just kinda pops out your mouth simply because you are so focused on it. Not volitional. Yes, I think he means harmful actions. The kind of thing you don't do by accident. ( For example, some people with OCD have fears that they will just all of sudden stab their newborn infant. He is trying to assure people that this just doesn't happen if they don't want it to happen. It's just their brand of OCD fears. Now to illustrate, someone could accidentally drop their baby and harm it, but that's not volitional. It just can happen. Same way with the kind of stuff you're referring to.) Dr Phillipson explains in the video someone posted that certain thoughts, however, just pop into our brain whether we want them or not. That's just how our brains function, OCD or not.
