Thanks! On my “good” days, I do have a lot of faith. LOL

Great reply-thanks!

Thank you Marty…..I believe He will. He has been delivering people from all kinds of oppression and diseases and other medical conditions in my church lately-my church is very spirit-filled and people have been cured of cancer, depression, panic attacks, etc. etc-so I know that He is perfectly capable of doing it.

Quote (Cato @ Aug. 12 2009,23:23)Despite people's anecdotal evidence of spiritual healing, only a fool would rely on such without looking for more temporal help as well.  If your problem is religious obsession why rely only on that very same source of obsession for a cure?  Scrupulosity is usually treated by cognitive behavior therapy, not d…[Read more]

I don't have a problem with cleaning, or washing my hands over and over or physical things like that. Mine is strictly in my mind. My OCD is called Scrupulosity, and it manifests as obsessing over and over if I am really saved, or if I have sinned. I most certainly do not need to pay a doctor $200 to tell me what I can look up on the internet…[Read more]

Thank you Karmarie, for your testimony-that was awesome! Yes, God DOES hear us and He answers us in so many ways-it's amazing!That does scare me what you said about the verse about cursing God. I don't do it out loud, but it's constant in my head, along with other horrid thoughts about people that are not in the least bit Christian.I don't…[Read more]

Well, I have figured out what is wrong with me at least. I have Scrupulosity, which is religious Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It causes a person to obsess over their thoughts about God, salvation, etc, and then compulsively do things over and over to try to fix those thoughts. I have probably asked Jesus to come into my heart and save me…[Read more]

Karmarie, thank you so much for your post! You are the very first person who has experienced what I have gone trough! And yes, when those feelings of being so close to God go away, it is terrifying! It's like being a tiny baby whose father ran off! And yes, it does make us desperate to be close to Him again.I am starting to think that God KNEW…[Read more]

Thanks! Yes, I already know that God LOVES me.I just have somehow not come to full conversion. I know this without a doubt. I need to know if I can still do this, and HOW, if God does not seem to want to save me. I do not believe in Universalism……I am a Calvanist. I know that God does not choose to save everyone, and that some…[Read more]

I had this problem, and I asked God to open my eyes, ears, and heart so that I could understand His word, and to give me wisdom in understanding it. And things really started making sense!The Bible says nothing about not marrying a different race. The only thing it says is that we should not marry anyone of a different FAITH, and that is…[Read more]
