Intrusive thoughts a sin?
Hey ! Does anyone think that intrusive thoughts are sinful? Does god punish us for our bad thoughts ?

Um… No. Our brains just have intrusive thoughts pop in. If you look it up, science can’t explain it. It just happens 💜
I don't think God would punish us for things outside of our conscious control, and that would include intrusive thoughts. It's only the thoughts you want to experience that might qualify as sins. Maybe you could sit with the uncertainty of whether your thoughts are sinful or not, if that's something that fills you with doubt. If they are, what would the consequences of that be? God would still love you no matter what
Hello. Your asking something I have asked and worried about many times. And I firmly believe no one understands us more than God. Jesus came for the imperfect and the sick. Many times I have worried about God punishing me for something OCD related. Like something bad happening to me or a loved one. And I always just need to remind myself that's not how The Man Upstairs rolls. OCD is trying to lie to you, don't let it.
Depends which god and religion you're getting these phobias from.
How should I cope. I keep getting bad thoughts about the holy Spirit and I feel so bad and guilty all the time. But I definitely do not want to act on them or even mention them. Ik God loves me, but my mind keeps painting a bad picture of him. I also when I try to be concerned about my bad thoughts, my mind will retaliate and say, how can u be scared of hurting someone u don't believe in. And it is really freaking me out... It's like I'm trying to degrade God or the holy Spirit for no reason. And I think I'm hurting there feelings and I feel hopeless and depressed all the time. And I'm just worried God is angry with me or he sees me as fit for punishment or something.
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 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.
