Question
I have had intrusive thoughts over the years and I have felt very guilty for them. I have become more religious lately and for a year now (of being more religious) haven’t had such thoughts. The past few days I started having bad thoughts again and I’m wondering if it is Satan causing me this. How can I stop these thoughts? Does Hashem still love me?

Question
If I cook pancakes in less than 18 minutes (the way I’d do with matzah only with other ingredients), would it still be forbidden to eat? Why or why not? Thank you!
