People go on debate and go through loops to prove or disprove faith alone for salvation, baptism being needed, or less commonly if turning from sin "in sincere repentance as possible" is needed. Let me (hopefully) shut this down with one verse: Genesis 15:6 "Then he believed in the LORD, and...

(I should add, there are middle grounds with many things of course, this is just about ideas that actually contradict, and people combine into doctrine, using mental gymnastics and spiritualization to justify.)

First off, I want you all to know I've made great strides in recovering from the OCD madness since last post. But I have a request, both for a prayer and some uplifting in this trying time for me. Is there anything wrong with wanting to overcome these thoughts, because you don't want to have to...

Are you justifying sin by doing this? If this sounds hostile to anyone, I don't mean any of that to whoever reads this. Christians often insist copyright law, even people who agree it's far from clean, must be followed no matter what because the Bible says God wants us to follow the law of the...

This is an addendum to my intrusive thoughts battle plan. https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/my-guide-to-dealing-with-intrusive-thoughts.65549/ So I've noticed that thoughts often immediately come back once I finally manage to make them pass properly. Once I feel relieved towards...

So I changed my avatar upon posting my guide for handling intrusive thoughts from a Chao to that angel. As for what that was about, the one i had briefly before changing to the one you see now was a figure known as Aniel. He's not found in the Bible, only in Jewish tradition and as such i don't...

[Before the post proper, it's important to keep in mind this is NOT meant to be a replacement for proper therapy. If you suffer from OCD/scrupulosity to the point of it being debilitating to your everyday life, seek professional help as soon as you can. All direct Bible quotes are from the...

I just want to be able to be free from such thoughts, at least learn to let them pass and accept that i have them if i can't be rid of them outright, but how does anyone do that with things as truly beyond abominable as what i have? They've even infested my prayers and when I try to comfort...

So...I'm trying to learn how to ignore the unwanted thoughts and whatnot, but they linger much longer than expected and risk me thinking slipping back into the torment of thinking I do want to think this stuff, perhaps because i'm so used to putting energy into the thought patterns in forms of...

So...I've come to realize the real reason I was so worried about the intrusive thoughts was that I was so obsessed over "debunking" any notion that I would ever want or like such thoughts that I ended up trying to reason away any doubts about that logically, which is really just ruminating over...

I don't think I can go on much longer... No matter how much I try to let the truly horrid thoughts pass and not engage, because I want to believe they aren't truly mine, they always come back worse than before, seemingly just to reignite the doubts that some of these thoughts were truly in...

I actually asked another Christian community online about this and they said it's up to my conscience, this isn't about if the game is sinful or whatever. I just want your opinion on this type of thing. So I may have talked about Shin Megami Tensei here before, a game where you basically...

So my mom feeds dog food to the pigeons that fly by our house. I ask "doesn't this make them fat?" She says probably but she doesn't care. About a week ago we saw a falcon land by our house, with what looked like another bird in its talons. I think it might have been one of the pigeons... We...

I seem to sit down and then for like an hour I don't have the energy to get up despite being fully awake, or sometimes I'm tired no matter how much I sleep. Other times I can't get out of bed for hours after waking up...I need prayers to heal from whatever causing this.

Since recently after you all answered my last OCD post, I've been getting a new urge: "If you don't do this/fail to do this, you agree to have God bind you to the oath regardless of your mental illness" It scares me alot and I sadly have gave into making oaths like that with my mouth, and have...

(Edit: Epilepsy risk, watch at your discretion) Perhaps my favorite fight I've ever done in this game, didn't know where else to post this, sorry. The main difficulty comes from that you're supposed to have 8 players supporting each others weaknesses, healing, and overall working together to...

I have been helped a lot here, in spite of my foolish behavior and even things that would make me look like a troll in the eyes of some everyone has been open to me in love and truth. I cannot thank the Lord enough for a community like this. I also have a prayer for you all: Lord, we pray for...

I have really bad OCD especially with urges to make oaths i wouldn't want to be bound to. Do you think any of the oaths I've made because my mind seemingly forced them onto me against my will, or because I wanted to not make them but felt I had no choice because the urge was too strong are...

So basically in this game i play there's this race you can make your character called Lalafell, they have very short and have stubby limbs, with a somewhat rotund body similar to the typical dwarf depiction in alot of other fantasy stuff, though theirs is of a quality often compared to that of a...

So Reddit has been sued(and the lawsuit has been turned down by the Supreme Court somehow) over knowingly hosting pornography of minors. Several families have spoken up about it, saying their children have been the victims of this at least indirectly. Jesus wouldn't want us enabling this in any...
