Hi, Whitehorse, good to meet you again. May the Lord continue leading and guiding. And yes, our God loves us with a jealous love, and He wants to have our attention ... because He wants the very best for us. HIMSELF. He, the source of all good, and His blessed Son, our Saviour, we are called to have Him as our own life. How much yet to learn of His love and of His ways! How warm and infinite His love, and how cold our hearts so many times. ...

in Him,

doulos

O by Thy love constrain us,
And fix our hearts on Thee;
Let nothing henceforth pain us,
But that which paineth Thee;
Our joy, our blest endeavour,
Through suffering, conflict, shame,
To serve Thee, gracious Saviour,
And magnify Thy name.

I've had the same problems and struggle with it. At one point i purposely thought about these horrible thoughts with Jesus because i figured if i was going to think about bad thoughts anyway its better to think about bad thoughts with Jesus than it is to think about bad thoughts with Satan. So i continued masturbating and i thought about these bad thoughts with Jesus becasue it made me feel better inside to think about Jesus than Satan...but now i feel horrible and i hate what i have done and all i ask is forgivness from the lord. I'm scared i have committed an unpardonable sin. I'm pretty sure the lord as forgiven me...but it would help to get some replies from some people telling me that the lord as really forgiven me.

The unpardonable sin is blaspheming the Holy Spirit, apparently by verbally attributing works of God to Satan. You haven't done that. Have you received Jesus as your Lord and Savior? Do you trust in Him for forgiveness? If so, then just turn away from it, renounce it and He will forgive you.

I utterly dispise these thought that keep coming into my head! Since Saturday, in my mind, I keep on thinking of masterbating Jesus when he's on the cross!!

It's HORRIBLE!!! Whenever I think of Jesus, that sinful image comes into my mind! It's always constant, and it's taking over all my thoughts! This is the worst thing you could POSSIBLY think about EVER!! It's the ultimate MOCKERY of Jesus, and I just want it to stop SO MUCH!

I haven't been feeling like myself ever since (4 days now). I always have a strange feeling in my stomach - a bit like queeziness. I've been sick on 2 occasions too.

I don't know if I can be forgiven for these sinful thoughts! PLEASE help me!!
I have seen worse thing in my head. ( a thought of putting jeasus on the cross using an air compressed nailgun )

I think that Jesus is trying to tell you something, or prepair you for something that is to happen. indeed that is strange.

you should try staying still and quite, and listen for god. god will wait forever until your still and quite to tell you something. if you just hang in there, and listen and pray. I know I am praying for you.

Uh, I doubt this very much.

People, could you get a grip please? The OP has a sickness, not a problem w/ sin in the instance he described. He has scrupulosity (religious OCD). This is a condition that requires much tactful and gentle care from a qualified professional (preferably a Christian one). I have the condition, too, and can't stand seeing people like myself being branded as the worst sinners possible.

This rant doesn't apply to everyone here, of course, just some of you.

YES, YOU CAN BE FORGIVEN. Know that before anything else....just think......when those pictures come into your mind.....as God is dying on the cross....he thought of you and knew you would do that....he knew it every time...and he was sad.....but then.....every drop of blood fell on you....and he declared that it was finished....you are clean when he died, today and tomorrow...forever....and ever. Those thoughts come from Satan.....he brings them about.....but you need to pray that they stop. God can make them stop because he can do anything....and that also means that he can forgive you for whatever you no matter how bad it seems.
