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.
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’m sharing this bc I need advice or even support from anyone who can relate. If you can’t relate and don’t think you’ll say anything helpful or kind pls don’t comment anything… I’ve been struggling with somethings that’s making me question myself. There has been moments while self pleasuring when I get intrusive thoughts, in those moments it feels like I’m enjoying or even self pleasuring myself bc of the thought. Right after I immediately have an anxiety attack and my HEART drops bc it feels terrible I feel like a disgusting monster :( ppl have told me I haven’t done a bad bc of how intense my guilt and panic are but I keep thinking that MAYBE I made a horrible decision in the moment and the guilt is just realising that it’s just wrong this doesn’t make sense to me because I’ve always told myself that I would never act on this in 1 million years and I’ve been known that these things are wrong so I’m just like constantly questioning myself these feelings and exact same situation has happened two times already I even promised myself that I wouldn’t act on anything beforehand and yeah, I still felt like I did act on my thought during my alone time I’m genuinely convinced that I’m a horrible and it’s even got into the point where I don’t wanna be here anymore and I don’t even think this is my OCD :( tbh
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅
