Hi....this is so common, really it is. Here is a great article by Jaimie Eckert. You have NOT commited that sin, I know b/c you are worried that you have. Those who have are so hardened against God that they will never care about their standing with Him. https://scrupulosity.com/unpardonable-sin/ Also, I wrote a book about how to fight OCD as a Christian - you can sere more at WagingWarAgainstOCD.com
God does not care about your thoughts. You have the choice to believe in a loving God or some vengeful God who is judging you on your every thought. Why do you choose this vengeful God? As far as this unpardonable sin, it isn’t what you believe it to be. The Greek word translated “Age” is αἰών “Aion” it’s a time span of limited duration, much like a life span. It is clearer in a literal translation “but whoever may speak evil in regard to the Holy Spirit hath not forgiveness -- to the age, but is in danger of age-during judgment;”. Sounds much less scary now I bet. Point being stop scaring yourself and strengthen your rational mind. I went through this same ocd theme long ago.
im so afraid. someone said that blasphemy of the holy spirit is when you say something thats untrue. and my ocd is having a field day with it. i believe God is amazing, great and forgiving. however why are my thoughts this way, it gives me anxiety down to my toes and makes me want to vomit. im sorry if this triggers someone or anything. God Bless, Jesus Loves You.
Yesterday I kept thinking about something sad about God like yk when you feel disappointed in God sometimes :( so I had just gotten a really bad thought of God turning into a demon …. And it felt like like I was thinking it for a sec like intentionally… and I quickly started to panic and feel really bad bc I Love God a lot but I’m afraid I committed the Unforgivable sin aka blasphemy my brain gets to addicted to think about certain things I can’t think about
Last night when I was laying in bed, I was just thinking about my religion. I’m a Christian and for some reason, I said a bad word in my mind about God I’m not gonna type the word on here. I can barely even say it. I just don’t understand why I thought that And I prayed for forgiveness sometimes I feel guilty. Sometimes I don’t. I don’t understand why I said that I know it’s not true. I know I don’t mean it, but what if I did what if God is going to punish me now for that thought I know we’re human and we make mistakes but I just can’t forgive myself for this. I haven’t been able to think about anything else. I’ve been miserable since this happened. I’m just so done and I don’t know what else I can do.
