Unforgivable sin
I’m currently in a very dark place I need some help. Are there Christians on this app who have got over the fear over the unforgivable sin? It makes me want to die.

I’m gonna guess by the fact that you feel grief over this and that it is a forgivable sin, people who commit unforgivable sins usually have a psycho pathic condition or something where they cannot feel shame for their actions, and that’s part of what makes them so terrifying .people with OCD usually feel like they have committed horrible acts when they really didn’t do anything I’m talking for personal experience here.I wish you the best I’m sorry that you’re struggling.
Literally, god sent his only son to die for our sins so literally almost every sin is forgivable that’s the whole point of Christianity, and the point of Jesus dying on the cross. Otherwise we would still all be Jewish as Jesus would not have come to save us for our sins.
Yeah, the unforgivable sin is very scary. I am obsessing over it all the time. It gets so bad I keep getting bad thoughts about the holy Spirit all the time. I can't even have peace with him anymore. But the unforgivable sin has definitely taken a toll on my life but I'm grateful that God is merciful and loving.
Mark DeJesus offers podcasts on exactly this subject as well as other scrupulosity issues. I can honestly say his content changed my life. I hope it can do the same for you!
@anonymous_rex Thankyou!

@cupcake7531 Thank you so much! :)
I am not a Christian... can you tell me what is unforgiven sin? I mean I am trying to resolve the fact the we were created sinners intentionally by God, with things happening according to God's Will. Knowledge and plan, with a sin being unforgiven.
Hey there, this was a HUGE theme for me. Became suicidal over it, so let me just say I understand where you’re at. This reply is not meant for reassurance, it’s meant for clarity to the passage and empathy with you. Understanding the passage, from its biblical and Jewish frame of reference is key. Our emotions and experiences need to take a backseat on this one! Also, want to add, that with OCD, we sometimes need to do the hard exposures for our nervous system to calm down enough and then we can study the passage in its context. A beloved Bible teacher of mine set the record straight on what this passage means. He is European and has a bit of an accent, but below is his teaching on the topic of the unpardonable sin. It’s probably not what you think. In this struggle with you. Give it a listen and may our God of all comfort be with you as you press into the hard things. You can do it, step by step, exposure by exposure. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beth-ariel-messianic-congregation/id424442736?i=1000375607129
My OCD has become so bad and I feel so alone. I have religious OCD (Christianity) and I’ve been doing okay with letting the blasphemous thoughts go in the moment, but I’m so overcome with guilt and shame I can barely function. I can feel okay and hopeful for a few minutes and then I’m reminded of the horrible thoughts and how nothing can take them back and I can’t handle the guilt. I’m becoming a burden to my family and feel so alone. I do not know what to do. Please help.
So I almost said something against the Holy Spirit the devil has been trying to get me to say something against it for like weeks now and has been trying to get me to see Jesus in like a scary way with like devil horns and all of that stuff like that and then last night he made the cross my mind where I wasn’t scared to go to hell but I truly am and I see how he’s playing on my emotions and the fact that where I tried to cry, but I couldn’t cry anymore and he keeps trying to convince me to say these things that I don’t wanna say and he he keeps trying to get me to say that I curse the Holy Spirit, but I don’t I really truly don’t and then I just started to feel weird last night like I didn’t feel anything I felt really empty and then I keep praying and trying to talk to God, but I can’t feel him or the Holy Spirit. I’m scared because I feel like I’m going to hellwhat do I do? Also like as if he was on the cross and that they Holy Spirit is evil. Every form of blasphemy I feel like I’ve committed how do I fix this because now I feel empty and scared to go to hell
So, alot has changed. I'm Christian and currently believe we are in the end of times. It's changed my whole perspective on life. I quit my job and moved back in with family, starting to go to church, apologized to those I hurt except, one person who I talked to two family members and they told me to delete the message and with my other apology ( that i also believed was God telling me to confess in 2020) i lied at some parts because of shame and confusing myself most likely intentionally. I confessed everything to my dad and he says since i turned from it, repented, that i need to let it go and continue forward. Since then, my minds been saying that I'm outside of God's will and everything's gone down hill. I had also prayed that God exposed me and now it's like all this evil and wickedness that feels like it's coming out of my heart settles into my chest. I've prayed to God, worshipped to God, but thoughts and images of being sent to hell or my loved ones pops into my head and I've gone to sleep twice each night accepting the fact that because of me not doing so may have doomed me and my loved ones and I feel scared that I got so tired and stopped fighting it. I've had ocd since I was 7 but it just is so scary because it's hitting down to the wire and I'm scared that I was never a child of God at all I mean I have iniquity I thought I repented for but people I love still struggle with what I've done and I prayed for them and tried to help them and suggest therapy but I haven't did what I could to make it right like I should've. But these images and thoughts they're horrible. I feel like I'm against God truly and I'm like Lord change the circumstances and I won't resist so that I can preach Your word and everyday I feel like I'm gambling. It's like every thought is biblical for the most part. I don't want to kill myself cuz what if I have a chance that God will have mercy on me but....
