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.
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 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.
Helppp😭 what do I do? I'm going to hell for blasphemy. I can't get it to stop and that's the sin that is unforgivable. How do I beg the holy spirit, I have prayed many times? Please can he have Mercy on me? I didn't do it intentionally. I don't want to do it or or go to hell. I can't even go to sleep rn because I'm scaredd... please am I alone😭😭 please someone say something 😭🙏🏼 I'm a believing Christian and can't believe I'm doing this...I have failed...I keep on saying derogatory stuff about HIM, please helpppp
