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 !

struggling with blasphemous thoughts & doubt!
It’s been hard. I feel so trapped. I felt okay about a week ago. But these thoughts are really hitting me hard. Especially doubt too. Doubt if God & Jesus loves me because of these awful blasphemous thoughts! Doubts if I’m his child! Doubts if I am saved! I feel like I’m thinking then on purpose but I don’t want these thoughts! They bother me so much! It’s like a tick or Tourette’s in my brain. I also have thoughts switches I’ll say I love god but then it’ll changed to something so evil is gross :( It feels like I don’t have a relationship with God anymore or like I don’t know how to anymore. It makes me sad and stressing me out. I obviously try not to think awful things but the more I try not too the worse they are. I just feel so lost. I was so on fire and felt like my faith for God & Jesus was unstoppable but now I feel like I’m so far or how could he possibly love me anymore. How could I have these thoughts :(

Feeling a loss of faith and anxiety
I’m Christian, and I suddenly had a loss of faith. I’m praying constantly and as anxious and scared that God hasn’t chosen me for this religion, even though I believe in it whole heartedly. My brain is telling me these things, and saying how I would be fit for Islam or something else, even though I am perfectly happy being a Christian. I keep getting intrusive thoughts and feelings about not believing in my religion, and whenever I confess how I do believe, my brain tells me I’m lying or I feel otherwise. It makes me feel guilty and abandoned and alone. I still read my Bible and pray CONSTANTLY. Please help (sorry if this is hard to understand I am ranting)

My mind seems to be imploding in on itself
So, alot has changed. I'm Christian and currently believe we are in the end of times. It's changed my whole perspective on life. I quit my job and moved back in with family, starting to go to church, apologized to those I hurt except, one person who I talked to two family members and they told me to delete the message and with my other apology ( that i also believed was God telling me to confess in 2020) i lied at some parts because of shame and confusing myself most likely intentionally. I confessed everything to my dad and he says since i turned from it, repented, that i need to let it go and continue forward. Since then, my minds been saying that I'm outside of God's will and everything's gone down hill. I had also prayed that God exposed me and now it's like all this evil and wickedness that feels like it's coming out of my heart settles into my chest. I've prayed to God, worshipped to God, but thoughts and images of being sent to hell or my loved ones pops into my head and I've gone to sleep twice each night accepting the fact that because of me not doing so may have doomed me and my loved ones and I feel scared that I got so tired and stopped fighting it. I've had ocd since I was 7 but it just is so scary because it's hitting down to the wire and I'm scared that I was never a child of God at all I mean I have iniquity I thought I repented for but people I love still struggle with what I've done and I prayed for them and tried to help them and suggest therapy but I haven't did what I could to make it right like I should've. But these images and thoughts they're horrible. I feel like I'm against God truly and I'm like Lord change the circumstances and I won't resist so that I can preach Your word and everyday I feel like I'm gambling. It's like every thought is biblical for the most part. I don't want to kill myself cuz what if I have a chance that God will have mercy on me but....
