Ok so Christian OCD ers my OCD has been through the roof about all sorts. I was sat in my front garden listening to Christian music and sobbing. Basically Its a fear surrounding the unforgivable sin. Are there any Christians out there who can help?

I am struggling with the same thing. My mother told me I don't define the unpardonable sin and that it is clearly defined in the Bible. So even if I think I committed it if I didnt do what is explicitly described in the Bible I didnt do it. That helped me a little.

No problem, I have also read that the unpardonable sin can only be spoken not thought. I also am trying to believe that as well, I was struggling to apply that to myself but I know God would not punish you for being sick and so tbat must mean He will not punish me either. That is an important thing for ocders to accept.

I see a few folks doing reassurance here…I say that gently and kindly:) I have been a Christian 30 years and have pure O and it just this year shifted to a religious theme/ what if I recant my faith? What if God’s not real? I have gone from being terrified and apathetic. The BEST response is to get above the content and treat this like any other OCD theme. I don’t do it well sometimes, but some helpful ERP includes: 1. Make a list of why I committed the unforgivable sin 2. Make a list of why God can’t exist 3. Make a list of the worst case scenarios if the above are true . I hope that helps. Im sorry if it didn’t… I do believe Christ has felt every human suffering, so He is with you in this. 💕

Im glad to hear that. Yes I have scrupolosity also it gets really bad sometimes. I have OCD since I was 12 but it didnt turn religious until I was about 14.

That's horrible, mind focuses around movement at the moment. My mind somehow convinces me that moving when it tells me not to is the unpardonable sin. When I write it out it sounds ridiculous but its so hard to fight.

I do get intense feelings in my stomach and the other all feel of the environment becomes ominous to me. Thank you for the spotify :)

I am a Christian and have religious OCD. I struggled with this for years. Constantly worrying that I was going to end up in hell. I was also obsessed about committing the unforgivable sin. A person who has hardened their heart towards God wouldn't worry about it. God can take anything we can throw at Him, yell, scream, cry He can handle it. He know your struggles and loves you so much. Nothing can ever separate us from the love of God through Christ.

I think something good to do is look at who God is. Who is He? Who does He say that He is? How do His words in the Bible characterize Him? Make a list of His traits. If you remind yourself who He is, maybe it can be easier to trust that He has endless mercy for us.
