Have I committed the unforgivable sin?

[Danielle1234]

I have OCD/Scrupulosity and have suffered with blasphemous thoughts about Jesus and The Holy Spirit for a couple of weeks (and about a month ago but they stopped but are now back) I kep praying to Jesus to forgive for all of my blasphemous thoughts even though they're from OCD, I asked for forgiveness because it was hard for me to believe the truth about Jesus and The Holy Spirit without thinking a blasphemous thought. I also had blasphemous thoughts during all of prayers asking to get rid of my blasphemous thoughts. I didn't feel conviction for a blasphemous thought one night and couldn't feel The Holy Spirit and thought to myself that The Holy Spirit wants me to sin because The Holy Spirit is not good and holy. (I didn't say "good and holy" I said the word that starts with "e" that means bad) I no longer believe this though. I have felt The Holy Spirit's conviction since then though. And I have asked Jesus for forgiveness literally 24/7 and the reason why I'm afraid is because my faith got so weak in Jesus at the time I thought that horrible thing that I could barely believe in Jesus my faith was REALLY weak, it felt like Jesus didn't exist. LUCKILY, I no longer believe any of those blasphemous thoughts and my faith in Jesus is coming back. I'm really scared because Jesus said that that sin wouldn't be forgiven ever, but Paul and Peter were forgiven though and they were blasphemers. I had really strong faith about a month ago after the first series of blasphemous thoughts stopped and I read that a Christian can't commit the unforgivable sin because The Holy Spirit's job is to convict the non-believers and once you accept Jesus it's impossible to blasphemy Him. My faith in Jesus was so weak at the time I'm still afraid. Did I commit it? I really want to go to Heaven but have lost ALMOST hope and motivation. Please pray for me please and please help me please, thank you.

Those who worry that they have committed the unpardonable sin are unlikely to have done so! That sin signifies a deep hardening to the things of God; you seem to have a sensitive conscience.

Daily prayer and Bible reading, and Christian fellowship, help the believer's confidence.

Blessings.

Praying. You are saved forever. You have not committed the unpardonable sin and you cannot. God knows you love Him.

once you have accepted Jesus you are not able to commit an unpardonable sin.
God, Jesus' father has made you a special gift to his son. you can not undo what god has done.

I have done the same and I don't know either. All I think about is when Jesus asked "Will you also leave me?" and I think Peter responded "How can I?" I can't leave no matter what and i think you're the same as me. I also suffer from scrupulosity and I have a terrible time. It's why I logged on here maybe to find some support. I can't do anything good without thinking horrible blasphemy. I'm sorry about it and have been drowning myself in self pity and sorrow not doing the right thing. I've had bad "delusions" as well staying up for days thinking God is visiting me and that was when my blasphemy got extremely bad and i wound up in the hospital a few times. It seems the harder i try the more horrible my thoughts are and i wind up hearing voices or spirits and wind up the hospital. It seems impossible for me to do good. I can only take this as evidence that God has rejected me. But as far as leaving Him is concernec "How can I?"

To tell someone who suffers with Scrupulosity that they are UNLIKELY to have committed the unforgiveable sin is to inject more obsessive doubt into an all ready doubt sickened mind. Believe me I know because I too suffer with this. We want to have an exact sense of certainty about things like this. But due to professional help, Christian counseling, beginning to understand the big picture of Scripture, and the love of Christ I am recovering albeit slowly but recovering still. Charles Spurgeon even admitted that he had blasphemous thoughts and he also (even though he is known as a genius in theology) admitted that he did not truly know what the unpardonable sin was. Except for the fact that the Pharisees never sought repentance, never regretted what they accused Jesus of, and surely didn't obsess and fret over what they were doing. This is evidenced all throughout the gospels and even into Acts where Stephen said they still continually resisted the Holy Spirit. So they were never worried about it and never dissected their own thoughts nor did they ruminate and meticulously examine their every feeling, motive, and emotion about their blasphemous thoughts/words. They never worried or wondered why they sometimes felt emotionally numb after thinking/speaking blasphemous things about God. They never worried or felt guilty for not worrying or feeling guilty for what they did. They never worried about whether their heart was hardening, or worried and wondered if they really meant it. They never got nauseous and threw up from what they did. Nor did they get shortness of breath, hot/cold sweats, fiery anxiety in their chests, tingling sensations down their spines or extremities, or rapid heart beats from what they did. Theirs was a continuously willful, ongoing rejection of the whole Godhead Trinity from which they never wanted to repent of or ever ask Jesus for forgiveness for. Furthermore Jesus said He would never cast out anyone who comes to Him period. No ifs ands or buts about it. And in Acts it is declared that God now commands all men everywhere to repent. There is no disclaimer with that one either. So no you have not committed the unpardonable sin. God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. And whosoever shall call on the name of The Lord SHALL BE SAVED. PERIOD! No exceptions there either. Listen I along with so many others have gone through the same exact things as you. Some to a lesser extent and some to even greater extents than even you. John Bunyan, Martin Luther and many other great saints of old have also struggled like you and they have since gone on to be with their Lord in heaven. Don't ever give up. Cause you know what The Lord won't let you give up because you are His workmanship in Christ Jesus. God made you and God doesn't make junk and God saved you and God doesn't throw His treasures away. Trust in Him. Take heart. Look to Jesus and live. Faith is not a feeling. It is believing regardless of how you feel or how many OCD intrusive thoughts pop into your mind. I would encourage you to Google "Grantley Morris - Scrupulosity". That will help you. Praying for you.

Hi,

what has happened to you is a common trick of Satan. He tries to get us to sin or blashpheme then accuses us of committing the Unprdonable Sin, when you are in reality forgiven, because Jesus is love. I have written a long document on this topic read it at Is there an unpardonable sin, what is blasphemy of the holy spirit.
