I want to believe in my salvation
I constantly believe that the words “I blas—— the H——G——,” are an unforgivable sin, and I cannot get them out of my head.

I went through that when I was younger, It was dark times. One thing to remember is that if you’re worried about doing it that means you haven’t
I feel bad that you are so afraid of this that you are even unable to type it. The sin was unpardonable in what in literal Greek was the aion or age meaning during that time and the time that was to follow. An aion is always a limited duration of time. It had nothing to do with an eternal punishment or separation from God. God is love and love holds no records of wrongs. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. I hope you find peace from your distress.
That is a hard one for sure. Dealt with it myself. So don't feel that you are alone, many deal with this. I don't know if you follow Jaimie Eckert and Mark DeJesus but both cover this topic.
I've had that same fear before. I'm sorry, it's super rough, I know. And when I had that worry, I could feel my throat swelling up like I was about to say it out loud, and that if I did slip up and say it, that was the end. It was horrible, and I'm really sorry. I'm here if you want to talk. :)
@Anonymous You have no idea how much like what you described I am! Thank you for making me feel that I am not the only one.
@terapressnell No prob! There is a video that I watched that helped me to feel better about the topic -- if you want me to send it to you I could easily do that. It might help, and it might not. Either way, I'm here for you if you need me. :)
@Anonymous I would LOVE to view the video. Do you have a link?
@terapressnell I believe this is that video that I watched. https://youtu.be/IgJSoN0Bwj0?si=KzIoXJoJ4U_LKySt But this one is also good. https://youtu.be/uIb7zvS5cIs?si=WZrRWk0jpCahy7bE And I've actually heard a lot of interpretations of the unforgivable sin (someone even mentioned one below), but none of them have been the way you and I fear. So these videos might not give a definitive answer, but I think they may expand your knowledge. I should probably remind you to not continue watching these videos if they become a compulsion. But, I also know that if you're seeking knowledge in a not compulsive way, then it might not be bad. Research about obsessions is iffy, but I believe it's not all inherently bad. Stay strong! :)
Hi everyone. I realize this string is pretty old....I recently published a book called "Waging War Against OCD - A Christian Approach to Victory." You can see more details at WagingWarAgainstOCD.com
I dont specifically talk about the impardonable sin....but here is my take: Revelation 3:20 says: Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me." And the end of John 6:37 states "the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out". And of course John 3:16 states that whoever believes on Christ will not perish but have everlasting life. So from these verses, we can know that the one who commits this sin (if it even possible in today's age...it may have only been possible when Christ was here on earth and people witnessed them first hand) will never believe in Christ, come to Christ, or want to be with Christ. Therefore, if you want to know Christ then you have not committed that sin. There is no scenario where someone wants to truly repent and believe Christ and is then turned away. The impardonable sin paints the picture of a heart so hardened in pride that they can't (b/c they dont want to!) see Christ for who He is....namely, the Savior of the world. Because if they did, they would have to humble themselves and admit they are sinners in need of a Savior.
I had a blasphemous thought against the holy spirit s few days ago a bc it’s been on my mind. So today i asked my mom: “ does God take someone’s life away if they committed the sin of blasphemy” and she responded with “Maybe yes or maybe no, he can maybe give that person days to live until the destined day that person has to die, dies.” And after she said that i’ve been kind of anxious and asking for forgiveness. Keep in mind that i wasn’t feel bad about this thought before. Idk why. Now i’m anxious.
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.
If you suffer from Christian OCD and feel Jesus hates you and you’re going to hell every few seconds but I keep fighting it because when I pray it says Lucifer and I refuse to pray to him. If I do Jesus will send me to hell. I’m terrified. When does it end. Some Christian’s are so peaceful, I want that.. why.. I feel cursed forever. I have faith in others journey… not mine. I’m stuck like this forever. My mind will never be the same.
