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.
Does anyone question that they'll go to hell because of your intrusive thoughts. I feel so scared about that because I grew up Catholic
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....
