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 can’t. I’m so scared. I don’t want to deny the HOLY SPIRIT. I keep having intrusives that make me question my real intentions.

I don't even know if I should put this here, but I have the greatest girlfriend in the whole world, and I love her very much, but my thoughts keep saying I'm going to hurt her, so I can hurt God and idk what to do, I feel so disgusted and idk what to do, and the worst part is why does some part of me just not even care idk what to do anymore, it's almost like I'm turning into this horrible person and idk what to do, I'm really not sure what to do. I have really been able to be happy I just feel like I don't deserve it and I want to care about people and God and I want to be a good person, but a part of me shuts off my caring nature and idk what to do, I'm really freaking out because it's like IDC and idk what to do I just feel so nasty and scared because why don't I feel like I care. Why does it feel like it's something I wanna do idk, what to do I'm really freaking worried. Also I don't want OCD but a part of me says I need it or I like these thoughts and idk what to do, as im writing this i just feel like laughing and idk what to do, i really judt want jesus to hug me and say everything will be alright, i am such a monster....

This might contain triggering content, but I'm also wondering if others have dealt with this similar thought, and if so, how to deal with it? Overall, I've been doing so well these past few days. I'm able to eat again, which I hadn't been able to do because of how much anxiety I'd been experiencing. I'm spending time around loved ones and not just rotting in my room, and I've been able to wake up without immediately being bombarded by intrusive thoughts. When things first got really bad, I'd wake my mom up every night for reassurance, but I haven't done that in a while either. I'm really proud of myself, but there's still this nagging thought in my mind... While looking through others posts on here, hoping to find advice that'd fit my situation, I ended up making things worse. Someone mentioned how they had a fear that they'd purposely search for illegal content (related to POCD). I panicked, and "what ifs" flooded my thoughts. "What if the intrusive thoughts affect who I am as a person, and I do that?" I'm terrified that I'll search for those things, which I know means I wouldn't do it. But then, another person on here said they'd actually looked for those things, and that freaked me out even more. Does that mean it's possible for that to happen to me? I don't want to do that, but I keep having intrusive thoughts surrounding it. I've been doing so well these past few days. I'm just... stuck. I don't know what to do. I've spoken with other people who have the same fears, but how do I manage this? It's not something I've even thought about before seeing those posts. I've been practicing accepting the uncertainty, but I'm really struggling with this one. I hate this. This morning, I woke up, and the intrusive thoughts were back. It's just disheartening.
