While I certainly understand those who oppose, I also am hesitant to say they do no good. I think of someone who is bound to there home for whatever reason, and listen to a "TV preacher" and legitimately feel hope and movement in there walk with Christ. It's funny when I went through a bad...

I know there is a massive dislike for the tv word of faith preachers among many. I wanted to see if you personally feel they are 100 percent not biblical in there approach?

We know or believe that Jesus knows everything but did He know or choose not to know the woman who touched Him for healing when He asked?

Could a brief concerning thought of someone else be considered praying for them? As in thinking " I hope they are doing well"

I know for me personally I believe ocd is tied Into a lot of it I really like apologetics which helps defend our faith(but I know with me sometimes are to more questioning)...but simply some questions just are impossible to be answered with certainity. My favorite apologists name is Michael...

I also have been listening to Mark DeJesus. I mean the fact that I specifically (and think many, possibly everyone) doesnt have the certainty that definitely what as hope for is a 100 percent fact. That is where faith comes in, however in my mentality not having certainity is a massive struggle.

Thank you everyone

Been struggling with mental health issues/anxiety, primarily health anxiety for a very large portion of my life(teen to now in my mid 40s)I am analytical and am putting two and two together that having ocd tendencies and not having a certainity feeling in my faith greatly contributes. Besides...

As a Christian how do you love Jesus? Is respecting his directives considered loving Him? Or is it necessary on an emotional level?

Let's say you don't steal because you fear getting caught rather then you think it's morally wrong. You still haven't done the sin, does it make a difference?

I certainly do. Anxiety, probably ADHD, and others. How do you find yourself conquering it? I feel I've been pleading with the Lord about certain things for years and partly believe it will be with me forever unless divine Intervention.

What do you consider "belief" to be? When you "believe" in Jesus but don't have certainity is that a contradiction to you? How does faith and belief intertwine to you?

My anxiety, particularly health anxiety started around 15 And now in my mid 40s .It started with a couple incidents in 9th grade...one being spraining my ankle, and being in bad enough pain that my parents took me to the hospital to see if it was broken, once there i had my blood pressure taken...

Funny how everyone is different. I avoid the doctor which is probably 99.9 percent of my problem. My main fear out of everything are docs, tests, etc

I actually have been on ssri unfortunately a large majority of my life ...my anxious life really took off around 14 and I'm in my mid 40s now. I do believe it helps but yes it can come with a price as I went off cold turkey a few years ago, thought I was in the clear then boom ...a pshyc...

That's great to hear. My mind is so analytical it causes issues in my walk. I've written in the apologetics forum about it. Thank you for sharing.

I keep acknowledging that all my "works" won't stand a chance when it comes to my walk. I wish my faith was stronger, but i believe my mind for whatever reason prohibits it from gaining strength. It's draining.

To make a long story short I have dealt with health anxiety a large portion of my life, and this is how it goes...when jovial I try to realize that I am happy and things are going well and still thank God/Jesus for all my blessings, try to keep my walk going how it should be but am a bit more...

Any fellow Christians struggled with mental health issues?. For me I remember them really taking off around 14 and snowballing to what I deal with in my mind 40s. Specifically health anxiety causes greatest, but I'm sure other combos as well.

Has anyone had any paranormal experiences? If so could you share your story?
