    So scared

    I have gotten different kinds of intrusive thinking. When it comes to OCD, the intrusive thoughts one gets tends to be distressing to the individual and repetitive. I’ve had both distressing and repetitive thoughts. The thoughts that come could be about anything. I find that trying to fight off...

    A racist God?

    Depends on what you mean by make an issue of race. We all are created equal and no race is better than any other race. To say one race is better than another is racism in my view.

    A racist God?

    I disagree. Black skin is not a curse. It is beautiful skin color. All other skin colors are beautiful too. God is not prejudice against anyone. God loves everyone. We all are connected for we all come from Adam and Eve and are created by one God.

    God decides who wins in games of chance?

    I don’t really play poker. I have seen a little from tv tournaments when my step-father was watching. I don’t believe 1 Corinthians 9:24 is referring to poker at all. I don’t see playing poker in itself as wrong ; however, one should not play in such a way that leads to addiction. One can lose a...

    God decides who wins in games of chance?

    My thoughts are that God knows who will win in a game of poker. Poker in my opinion is not only chance but also skill involved. For example if someone was to bluff and fool the other players so that the other players fold even though he/she doesn’t have a very good hand.

    Being able or unable to watch a video before your phone dies is not an accurate way to determine things. I don’t know if animals go to heaven when they die but I believe when animals die, they do not suffer.

    Is this God answering me or is it OCD?

    If I may ask, what are you specifically asking God to confirm?

    Is this God answering me or is it OCD?

    That is one form it can take but there are many other forms OCD can take. Compulsions can take the form of hand washing, checking, repeating words or prayers, repeated actions, avoidance and other forms.

    Our new relationship to the law.

    I disagree. Christians can struggle with mental illness and mental health. I view 2 Timothy 1:7 in a different way than you have described.

    Take with you words...

    It is not a lie to say Jesus is Lord because he is Lord. Are you saying one may say Jesus is Lord insincerity and not believe he is Lord?

    Our new relationship to the law.

    The whole concept of “ being in sin” seems rather confusing. At times I have heard it implied believers can’t be in sin or practice sin. However as I understand it, believers sin every day and can sin frequently. I do like how Jesus tells Peter we ought to forgive seven time seventy times( See...
