• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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

Okay I keep going in circles with this decause Either I am pre destined to go to Heaven or hell. IDK? to be honest I don't deserve Heaven so my flesh tells me I'm going to Hell. What the heck man. What ever happened to my free will. Do I still have it or am I simply being used and abused. I don't know if this is OCD or God or shizophrenia. It's really getting to me and I havn't had anybody respond to my last posts so PLease can someone help me and say that they have been thru this.

Just recognize dabro that you have mental problems just like all of us in this forum and try not to dwell on the symptoms when they manifest themselves. Jesus loves us and no matter what we are going through we can know that by looking to His cross. I know its hard man, but things will get better, it will not always be this bad, trust that the Lord will bring you out of this.

Yeah, intellectual and theological problems can be agitated by OCD - I've been there. But I'll keep you in my prayers.
And if you're still beaten up by the predestination thing, remember that the Bible still affirms human free will. Yes, I believe in God's sovereign choice, but He still pleads with sinners to mend their ways and turn from their wickedness. And most Christians affirm God's sovereignty and human free choice; so, they're neither Calvinists (no free will/more sovereignty) or Arminianists (yes, free will/less sovereignty), but instead, they just say it's a mystery. The important thing is: who do you follow?

Remember after Peter denied Jesus three times, Jesus still forgave him.
But when Peter looked at John and said, "What about him?", Jesus replied, "What is it to you? You must follow me."

Thanks guys for listening. The thoughts of pre destiny have shut up. But I look for clues like coincedences that prove that I'm pre destined and thats schizophrenia. But I bet some of ya'll have felt things like that. I'm just more prone to it thats all.!
