Thank you for the lengthy post. I agree with your sentiment, however I was specifically talking about all the differing views in the body of Christ, some of which are quite significant differences.

Thank you

If a prayer goes on longer then in my mind it should, or if a sermon goes on and on, I find myself getting frustrated. I am assuming a wiring issue with my personality. Do you find this to happen

I'm an accomplished strength athlete and have in the past enjoyed showing my feats etc...deep down I have often thought how terrible I would feel if someone struggling in life were to see my achievements and felt bad. In fact bragging or people thinking I am boasting has always made me feel...

I understand but what about when those differences are as serious as whether salvation is given or not? Baptism, no baptism etc

Posted a few times how I struggle with certainity due to ocd, an analytical mind etc.. For the "normal" person how are you content in being strong in your particular view of Christianity when others are so adamant that their side is correct, and when also these views are quite big deals in the...

Assuming the story of the good Samaritan was literal, did the good Samaritan enter paradise? He was of another religion. Under the assumption he remained in the other religion would he have gone to be with Jesus? If that story was duplicated today and 2 non Christians passed someone suffering...

I'm not really sure where to post this topic, but since I frequent this the most I chose here. I have posted before on my brain wiring...struggling with ocd, anxiety, etc and in turn making "certainty", "knowing", impossible for me( I do realize many say certainty shouldn't be looked for that's...

I have considered myself a Christian for a very long time, but as someone who struggles with being analytical, mental illness issues, etc...i have to ask what exactly is being a Christian?

I have struggled a large majority of my life with anxiety... specifically health anxiety. I find when I am in fear I cling plead hope pray vent to the Lord... everything I listen to or read for the most part is biblically based etc... When not dealing with fear I get a bit more comfortable...

I hear this often, especially when listening to those trying to help others like myself with there mental health. I would love to think that is accurate, and that God would like us to have grace with ourselves when we struggle, even with sin...I find myself concerned the Lord gets upset at...

When it comes to what you personally believe in Christianity how confident/certain are you that what you believe is correct?

That is something I actually have been trying my best to do.

I have very bad health anxiety, ocd, and a need for certainity. Its definitely and obviously a wiring issue for myself that God is using for His glory somehow... however it is quite exhausting and I spend many days in mental anguish. Besides what is known by spending time in the word, etc...does...
