I feel your pain. I’ve struggled with this too! I love you. God loves you. We have OCD. Nobody can control their thoughts and feelings. God knows this. Little children will tell their parents that they hate them; yet the parents still love them. If ordinary people can do that, then God can certainly do that for us. I can tell you that trying to get rid of the fear by praying to get saved multiple times will only make it worse. Ocd will then make you question if you said it all “just right”. You’ve had some victory over OCD by improving from the fear of the unpardonable sin; now OCD is trying another trick. I hope this helps.

Hey , everyone I’m in the same boat as well. Dealing with extreme fear of the unpardonable sin . I have blasphemous thoughts every day since I’ve learned about the unpardonable sin . Every day I’m so scared because I think I’m committing this terrible act in my mind . I try to reassure myself that I’m saved by continually asking for forgiveness and asking Jesus into my heart . It’s a terrible cycle and habit . Praying for everyone . Also , how did you all over come fear of the unpardonable sin ? Did God give you reassurance that you are His and nothing can remove that .

Thank you. I got over the unpardonable sin by being taught that the Bible cannot contradict itself. Since the old Testament states that God forgives as far as the east as to west and God explicitly states He does not change. The problem of the unpardonable sin must be a problem of none repentance. This is compounded by the fact that Paul speaks who people who cannot repent. We know we cant be forgiven if dont repent and these people CANNOT repent ergo they cannot be forgiven . Jesus stated all other sins would be forgiven meaning there cannot be two unpardonable sins, yet if we take Paul's words without taking note of what Jesus said, there would be two unpardonable sins. Since Jesus says all other sins can be forgiven, that must mean the people that Paul mentions who cannot repent(and ergo cannot be forgiven) are the same type of people Jesus was referring to. So then the unpardonable sin is the result of unrepentance. Which makes perfect sense as The Holy Spirit is our convictor. The tense that Jesus used also does not indicate how many blashphemies He was referring to and drawing from the context of the rest of the Scripture this is the only answer I believe makes sense. That if you are blaspheming The Spirit you cannot get forgiveness, because He is the convictor who tells us we need it. If we are not listening to Him then we cannot repent, because He is the one who moves us to repent. It was very hard for me to believe. It took many pastoral blogs and my mother to convince me this is true and even after that I struggled but I am better now. I hope this helps you.

@Kiri Hey Kiri that did make sense . So in the simplest form the Pharisees would blaspheme which mean they could no longer be convicted of their sins ? Also , I hate that I learned about this because I struggle with the recurrent blasphemous thoughts in my head . Typing this is bringing about so many thoughts

@Junior96! I believe that yes, if they did indeed commit that sin, that would be why due to the scriptures that support it. I also had these bad thoughts I asked God to ignore them and then eventually my OCD switched to this topic. Which is still horrible but it is progress.

@Kiri Important to note that I believe that those who truly lack conviction do not repent.

@Kiri I understand . Very encouraging. Really am praying that God will forgive me every time I think about them . I don’t care if it’s me or not , I just want to be forgiven . My mind operates in a way that retains bad things because I’m in such fear . That’s why I’ve been stuck with these blasphemous thoughts . I’ll be praying for you Kiri !

I need some help. I keep having thoughts that I don’t believe in God anymore or that I don’t want to believe in God. I have always believed but I just recently started following him more closely. I did ask for Jesus to come into my heart. But now I’m scared that I have lost my salvation. It’s hard to read and pray and I keep getting thoughts that I don’t believe what I reading or that God won’t forgive the sins that I have done. I have been having panic attacks and I’m afraid I’m going to go to hell or I’m afraid that it’s true and I don’t believe in God. I’m also afraid that since God does know my heart what if it truly isn’t for him. I just need some help I’m afraid I’m never going to get back to normal.

im so afraid. someone said that blasphemy of the holy spirit is when you say something thats untrue. and my ocd is having a field day with it. i believe God is amazing, great and forgiving. however why are my thoughts this way, it gives me anxiety down to my toes and makes me want to vomit. im sorry if this triggers someone or anything. God Bless, Jesus Loves You.

im scared. I keep compulsively praying for bad things or death on the people I love. I don’t understand why. It doesn’t make anything better. I’m scared that these prayers count. I seal them as I do with most of my prayers in Jesus name and with a double amen. I’m scared God will want to teach me a lesson and make something come true. I’m scared I mean these prayers, I’m petrified. If something happened, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself :( I don’t know where to go from here
