    I dont know what to say except HELP!

    OCD likes to play tricks like that. If you're not sure that you thought them freely, then you didn't. And even if you had, it still wouldn't have been the unpardonable sin. It's honestly not a valid Christian view at all that a person can commit the unpardonable sin by just thinking/saying...

    finding it hard to trust

    I think the only reason you're finding it hard to "want to do anything for Christ" is that you're obviously going through a really tough time, so it's hard to be positive or aspire to much at the moment. I've felt the same way when I've been struggling with stuff, but it does get better. And...

    Are OCDers Eternally Condemned to Hell? Did Pharaoh Have OCD?

    Just want to join in and say that no, you have NOT committed the unpardonable sin. If you had, you wouldn't be scared that you had. Really truly. (Apart from anything else, is it likely that God would let the vast majority of the world's Christians be led into error about what the unpardonable...

    have i done the unforgivable sin?

    I have said sorry and I've even deleted it, so hope you might accept my apologies. (By the way, you're mixing me up with someone else - you asked Bouke285 to back up his/her words :)) I really don't like arguments/debates so I'm going to leave this thread now.

    have i done the unforgivable sin?

    JKalby, I'm sorry I said unChristian, it wasn't very nice of me. (If you notice, I didn't say that you were unChristian, I was purely referring to the attitude of being glad that [in your view] someone was going to hell. But it came out wrong and I shouldn't have said it.) Sorry. :):confused:

    Questions about Hell?

    A view I've heard is that if you spend your life searching for God, you'll find Him when you die, but if you're only searching for fulfillment from other things, maybe you'll always be searching. This would seem to tie in with the view that hell means separation from God, not a place where a...

    have i done the unforgivable sin?

    By your view, you are suggesting that God is somehow unable to forgive someone who says something against Him/thinks a bad thought. This is basically open theism i.e. denying God's foreknowledge of the future. (Open theism is widely regarded as heresy.) It may be true that God wills not to...

    Does anyone feel like I do??

    I know exactly what you're talking about. I used to experience this really badly, especially when praying - it often took me hours to say any kind of prayer because I'd have to go over it again and again to get it exactly 'right'. And I can remember that when I was a kid I'd have to read a page...

    have i done the unforgivable sin?

    You got it about right in your previous thread. It's impossible for you to have committed the unforgivable sin if you are seeking forgiveness, and especially if you never meant to think those things. Christiananswers.net has a good page on it - search for 'unforgivable sin'. :)

    Ever feel like the other shoe is about to drop

    Hi picassoui, I tried to reply to your PM but it wouldn't let me because my post count isn't high enough. And then I tried to post the link here but it wouldn't let me because my post count isn't high enough! So...I'll just copy and paste the whole thing here (it's from the new Christians forum)...

    Ever feel like the other shoe is about to drop

    I know that this might not be what the problem is exactly, but I wrote a post somewhere else explaining why blasphemous thoughts/sayings are not the unforgivable sin, and I could copy it here if that's any use. But yeah, knowing what OCD's like, that might not help at all...

    How can i not think of something?

    Sorry to go against some people's advice here...but if this OCD-related, the general advice is that it's really not a good idea to pay ANY attention to these kind of thoughts. In my experience, trying to counter them with Bible verses, prayers etc. makes things tons worse - you're just giving...

    Medication/treatment?

    Thank you, that's a lot of useful information :) The website's good, and I am trying to learn more about OCD in order to manage it better - it's a massive relief to know that it is a medical condition. Hopefully I'll be able to make myself go and see someone about it at some point. :)

    Can I be saved? At all?

    You sound exactly like me a couple of years ago. I can totally understand why you might take that passage literally, and it's not always much help people telling you that you've interpreted it wrongly, and that you are still saved, when they don't explain why. It took me forever to realise...

    Medication/treatment?

    :wave:Hey, I'm new here and need some help with this. Just recently I've come to realise that what has been going on in my head is/was actually quite bad OCD. Thing is, it seems to be mainly in remission at the moment and I'm hoping that it might be going away (wishful thinking maybe!)...
