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.
Welp, I was daydreaming had a blasphemous intrusive thought in my head and I ruminated and replayed the thought over and over again and I'm fearing that I may go to hell.
I think I commited the worst sin. I had no bad intentions but then I realized I might have thought something bad. I'm so scared and I don't know if I'm forgiven. I'm trying not to replay what happened in my head but it's so hard and I'm so scared.
I had such a horrible thought! Sometimes I can’t tell if they’re on purpose or accidental but my mind said a thought about “I reject God” then it said “with your heart”. I immediately started freaking out! I still feel the anxiety and fear. I’m trying so hard not to cry my eyes out. I did cry a bit but I’ve prayed for God & Jesus to please forgive me! I can’t live without them! I love Him so fricking much! To have a thought like that hurts so much! It bothers me! Makes me feel so much guilt and shame! I would NEVER say that or even want to think that but my mind is questioning did I think that on purpose or was it my OCD? Sometimes the blasphemous thoughts “feel” on purpose. Please any advice?! Does God still love me?! Will He forgive me for this thought?
