I'm wondering what does the bible say about evil, and bad thoughts. I'd consider myself a decent person, but most of my thoughts aren't very nice. I seem to gravitate toward the worst aspects of humanity.

Acts 8:22 - Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
2 Corinthians 10:5 - Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Hebrews 4:12 - For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Originally posted by CanadaguyI as a Christian cannot stop bad thoughts from entering my mind. But what I do with them is important. Sin comes from entertaining bad thoughts, so I just change my mind. Think of something else, preferrably something noble, good, etc. We can let our minds control us or we can control it. With an accurate knowledge of God's Word, it is easier.

Originally posted by checkbaitorwell one may not be able to stop them, but the instant they come to my mind I try to get rid of it, I also believe in staying away as much as possable to things that will tempt us to dwell on these thoughts, I dont have a TV, I try not to look at the magazine racks at the stores, etc. I have a very tough time doing the "pre-emptive" fight, and I fail lots. But it is worth the Joy and sastifaction knowing that Im not just repelling the devil, Im attacking.
