religious ocd

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 used to have blasphemous thoughts against the Holy Spirit going through my mind every minute of the day. This is quite normal for religious OCD. A lot of people have blasphemous thoughts. There is a lot of helpful articles and videos out there. I think it’s important for you to know that those thoughts don’t mean anything. There is no connection between our OCD thoughts and what happens in the outside world. No one will die if you have a thought. I think it would be really important for you to start ERP therapy. You don’t have to worry that the thoughts in your head will cause something bad to happen. Therapy will help you overcome this fear. Have you looked into NOCD? They have great therapy

@Tea and Honey but i think i had it on purpose. Because when i had it, it felt like i was in control of it..? idk what how to explain but after the thought i felt a little anxious and i decided to not feel like that way because i hate feeling anxious so i blocked that feeling out.

Great news! I can answer this question and maybe alleviate some of your anxiety. I know with certainty that you are forgiven. The very fact that you are concerned means that your heart is right with God. Christianity is all about the Gospel message. The good news of Jesus Christ. None of us are perfect. We all sin all the time! We cannot help it because we are flawed humans. That being said, we turn to Jesus Christ who died for our sins because God knew we could never follow a set of rules and be successful at it. Rather than alienate us from him in our sinful nature, he sent Christ to die and pay the cost of our sins in full for whoever believes in him. Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father which means our debt for our sins we’ve committed today and tomorrow are forgiven. All we have to do is believe in him.

hii, i really struggled with fears of blasphemy against the holy spirit too. what eased my mind was finding out that blasphemy against the holy spirit is actually when you reject the holy spirit for your whole life, by never accepting Jesus as your saviour. i don’t mean to go against your mum, but i don’t think she’s right about what she said. God isn’t vengeful, he doesn’t strike people down or cut them off from him for life if they commit blasphemy. he loves you, and if you have sinned against him he will forgive you- he wants to see you happy and prospering ! that said, i also don’t think that having blasphemous intrusive thoughts is a sin, those thoughts aren’t your fault, you aren’t in control of them. God knows the difference between an actual thought/belief, and an intrusive one (he created your mind after all, he knows all about intrusive thoughts !) so please don’t worry, God loves you and you’ll be okay <3

@CC.090715 you probably weren’t anxious about it at the time because you knew it didn’t mean anything, but now you’re worrying about it. and even if you did 100% think it on purpose, God still loves you and since you’ve apologised to him, he forgives you. he won’t cause anything bad to happen to you, so don’t worry :)

@wren <3 Wren is right. God loves you. He wants to have a relationship with you and he clearly does because you’re stressing about this. Remember God is good. Always and in all ways. While we don’t know when God will eventually call us home, it’s going to be on his time and it’s not the result of anything we do or don’t do. The key is to find Jesus and a relationship with him before that time comes.

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.

Can someone please respond to this.. Has anyone ever acted on a thought? I have and I believe it to be a horrible sin, as it is mentioned as one. How do I forgive myself? It is a really weird thing because when it happened I was in such a dark place. I honest to God should have been locked up. I had been self harming and attempted suicide around this time too. I had expressed to my mother how mentally unwell I was and she didn’t take it seriously at all. I don’t want to blame her but I know for a fact if I was taken seriously it wouldn’t have happened. My mind was screaming at me to do things all day long in a way I can’t even explain. My ocd is still with me every day but 9-10 years ago when this was happening it was BAD. I Didn’t have thoughts of my own. Only ocd. Id take sleeping pills to keep myself asleep and id have dreams of doing bad things. So I convinced myself I needed to see if I enjoyed it so I did it to see. Turns out nope. Didn’t like it it was just ocd. And that sin has cost me my mental sanity and love for myself. If anyone has gone through this how did you forgive yourself? Do you think god will forgive you? I know I’m not supposed to ask these things but despite what it says I actually get peace from reassurance. And I know I’m not the only one.

OCD thoughts feel so real tonight

I just got in a very heated argument with my controlling grandmother, and I’ll admit I acted like an absolute @ssh0le. I’ve been struggling with obsessive thoughts way heavier than usual the past few days and after the argument, I went upstairs feeling some guilt when suddenly I started obsessing over God taking something from me because of it. I then got a random thought I guess I’ve confused as my own… I thought “God take my abilities” and that’s literally the LAST thing I’d ever want. That was where my ocd started getting bad was back when I started thinking he would take from me. Now I fear that because I acted like that with my grandmother, and then came upstairs and thought “You can take my abilities” that He will. I don’t see a way out of this one, atleast not tonight
