Sad TERRIBLE sinful thoughts about Jesus I can't get rid of!

I'm new here, and I really need help to stop these thoughts about Jesus which are going through my mind!! It feels like it's tearing my relationship with Jesus apart!

I used to masturbate quite regulary, but lately I've been really trying to stop doing it for as long as possible. But that's not why I'm posting here for. It's something MUCH worse!!!

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!!

Actually I can think of worse thoughts to mock Jesus. With that said, your problem sounds odd. Ask God/Jesus to help you stop thinking about such nonsense.

Please remember that there is no sin too great for Jesus to forgive. You recognize the thoughts as sinful and that is a start. Just ask Him to help you. Do you feel like these thoughts are your own or do you feel they are from another source?

First, I'm assuming you are a guy am I right? Second, How old are you?.....Third, pray for forgiveness.... Satan has you where he want's you and that is not good.....Forth, know you are loved and supported by us at CF....we all have sins and thoughts in our heads... I've had thoughts about being with my one friend (no not the one I'm close to) that I've had to deal with, to him they would be horrible, but to God they are no worse than any other sin.....

I'm 19 years old, and yes I am a guy. I am not gay (If it might've been what you were thinking - I am talking maturely here), but I suppose a long while back I was.... curious about sexual organs, nothing else. (but I did used to go on all the bad sites though)

(this may be a bit confusing) I think it's when I remember about the horrible thought about Jesus, it sets it off in motion again. But sometimes it comes in when I'm not really thinking of much in particular.

I can't really tell, but it feels like perhaps the Devil is bringing up a bad memory of a sinful thought I've had before, and being constantly shown it again and again.

I keep on saying sorry all the time, and it doesn't seem to end.

yeah, satan has you and keeps feeding you the bad memories.....but on another note God is there to forgive us......as for your curiosity with sexuall organs I think that is normal for alot of guys, nothing to be ashamed of, I was always curious and exploring when I was a teen, even still to this day to a degree.....I know from experience that I feel inadiquate (spelling?) and will find myself with wandering eyes in the bathroom....yes, I struggle with homosexuality, but the wandering eyes weren't sexuall, just curious to see where I stand....I have found from talking to DaveKerwin on here and talking to my friend has helped alot with alot of things like that for me.....maybe you should consider talking to someone about all this stuff, most christian guys are mature enough to talk openly about sexuall sin because they themselves are dealing with the temptations.....just pray when the thoughts come into your head, sing a praise song or something......you'll be ok

God desires to have intimacy with you and you Him, the devil is trying to pervert that by dealing in your mind this way. It is not as god-aweful as you think unless you act on it.

The devil use to tell me that I didn't love Jesus so when ever I would tell the Lord God that I loved Him, the devil would be right there to say I was lying and didn't mean it. But I kept saying it. I just told myself I was going to fake it until i made it and that is what I did.

I kept crying all the more how much I loved God and the devil backed off...but it took some time. So this is a bit opposite you but the same enemy.

Keep praying and asking God forgiveness. Tell the enemy of your soul that this vision is not you and bring all thoughts under subjection of God. It may take a minute but resist the devil and he will flee. When he comes back resist him again.

THANK YOU ALL!! (and especially Thank you Lord!!!) My sinful thoughts are gradually subsiding! Praise the Lord!

What's better (ironically - which seems to be one way God does things), those thoughts have, in a way, made me more determined to resist the urges and thoughts of masterbation!

But still, I've been sick nearly every day (mainly in the mornings & evenings) and we don't know what's causing it. Could you pray that I will stop being sick please?

Also, my mind gets jumbled alot at night-times when I'm in bed, and sometimes I can't concentrate when I'm praying. I pray that it will pass.


Thank you all again!
