I think I committed the unforgivable sin

Sorry in advance because I know this topic IS talked about a lot but I really need help.

I feel that gods spirit will never draw me again or come back. At first god really did his best for me, he delivered me from many bad situations and he kept calling me to repent because he knew the possibly irrevocable damage my sins would have on me. At the time I thought I was saved and born again because the Holy Spirit was talking to me and god was revealing himself to me but I wasn’t even though I bore some fruits and I got comfortable and started rebelling.

I didn’t listen though and never had much change , even after the Holy Spirit gave me some knowledge and awareness surrounding my sins. I’ve always been rebellious and have always been stubborn anyway.


I kept consciously persisting and hardening my heart. Similar to the Pharisees, I had a good knowledge of Jesus and the gospel but I kept consciously rejecting god even then. I don’t have that knowledge anymore though because I refused to retain god and respond to his calls like I was supposed to. I then willingly confused god and the devil thinking that I could taunt/test god.

I might’ve even done so to push the Holy Spirit and his convictions away so that I may commit the terrible sins I wanted to commit. I did everything I could to push god away basically.

I never once listened to him and I was stiff necked. I knew the path I was going down but I thought I could push still and find mercy because I was young.

There were moments where I took gods kindness as an opportunity to sin more. I know I’m to blame and everything but I really just want some hope and to return to god. In terms of the severity of my sins it’s pretty bad and has hurt others very badly. Spiritually and physically. I know god needs to bring his justice on behalf of those who I’ve hurt with my sins. I know I’m responsible for the actions I took and I should’ve resisted the temptations to commit these sins.

I know an unsaved person can commit this sin which is why I’m almost sure that I committed it. I have a small idea on what I can do to repent actions wise but I’m scared that it won’t be enough or it will be false repentance.



When I think about it I just pity myself or condemn myself or

be almost nonchalant about it like ‘what was I expecting honestly’ which is why I feel I might not even care. In the end I know the root is pride. All I have is remorse for my sins, not a repentance that could lead to real change.





I also recognize that with the wording- it could make god seem bad and like I’m blaming him- I could be unconsciously blaming god but I’m trying not to.



I welcome any rebuke or sternness because maybe that’s what I need.

Do you believe that Jesus came to save sinners? Allow me to be more clear. Do you believe that Jesus wanted to help all people, but could only help those that were honest with Him that they are sinners?

You talk like a sinner. I know, I'm one, too. Good news... You are free in Jesus. Bad news, we have to sleep in the beds we make while we are here on earth, until death and sin has a way of making a very painful bed.

Will you please change your *Definition* of sin? Under the New Covenant, *Sin* is to believe that God isn't capable of saving sinners. Do you understand this?

If Jesus were standing before you and 12 people had stones drawn to stone you, Jesus would kick them off the set. He would then turn to you and say "Where are your accusers"? He would then say, "I do not condemn you".

Go and *sin* UNBELIEVE no more.

This same Jesus is inside of your very soul. You asked Him in, deal with it! :p

Do you NEED Him?

Just a thought. As the Prodigal Son was approaching the Loving Father he was saying, "I have sinned against heaven and you, I am no longer worthy to be called your son."

This is the Prodigal passing judgement on himself.

Contrast this with the Loving Father's response - to put a robe on him, sandals, a ring - all signifying that he had NOT lost his status as his son. And threw a huge banquet to boot.

Something interesting to note - if you rewind the story a bit you'll note that Jesus says the Father had compassion on the Prodigal when he saw him returning - before he had even said a word to the Father.

So from one Prodigal to another I would ask, who do you want to be your Judge? You? Or the Loving Father?

I would dare say that what is really happening to you is the Father drawing you back to Himself - because I'm telling you - God is a God of compassion!

You've committed great sins? Please consider that Jesus' sacrifice is not so ineffectual that it cannot cover a lifetime of sins. In fact, friend, that is EXACTLY what we are ALL hanging our hopes on.

Romans 5:19-21 NIV

"For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous."

"The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

God bless!

Here comes my "rebuke". Satan is all about making us feel like Garbage! Rebuke the accuser's work. You don't have time for that. Thank Jesus for never failing, even though WE ALL FAIL.

What I really hear is that you wish God could jerk you up by the bootstrings and make you sinless, in the here and now.

Do you remember the kids song "This little light of mine"? Don't let Satan snuff it out! Hold fast to the Anchor of your soul! (Jesus) The Potter is still at work within you! Trust His timing, not yours!

Jesus was born in a barn and can handle my stinky tabernacle. I'm positive that yours in an upgrade. ;)

One must Love Jesus Christ of Nazareth more than their sin. We all struggle with sin and that is why He gave us a Helper , His Holy Spirit. One can quench His work , which you have done, or one can reap goodness from His work .The key here is LOVE. Do you love Him? It is this kind of Agape LOVE that keeps His Living Waters flowing in our lives. Find your First Love and let His peace once again be in you.
Be blessed.

You need to understand hun, that the Lord died so we can live in harmony with God, pure through the Lord's sacrifice. It is evil that is tormenting you, simply and to the point. The word of Lord regarding your issue is simply, to the point and pure... ask for forgiveness it is FORGIVEN, plain and simple. It is forgotten and no longer in existence. The Bible is simple in it is to the point, exact in wording and pure. Know it is evil trying to keep you from growing in the Lord and his words that is testing you. Know you have already been forgiven my brother, when you ask, it is done. :) rebuke evil when these things come into your mind and ask the Lord to remove them and use Jesus' name to make them leave. Don't fret, the Lord will never leave you. I was visited by the Spirit just a few days ago. The Lord is at the door and coming soon. Stay strong in faith! Also, revelations are not a huge mystery... "listen to what the souls say to the churches" the churches is us, the saved by Christ. The latter was also explained to me during the visit of the Spirit. The locations I can only assume is names of areas that God setup in each area on the world. Many have pondered and given their opinion to the latter, but simply... eyes will see, and ears will hear what the souls say to the churches. Pray that you can see as well. Remember NOT to let evil take a hold on you, what God has cleansed no one can remove. Have faith :) don't let evil torture you. They know their time is coming, so they will try to trick God's children into believing we are not worthy :( but through our Lord's Jesus Christ the only son of God, we are simply saved by the asking, and forgiven when we ask for it. It is simple, to the points, pure and true. In Christ our Lord I pray that you will remember this. Hugs

You are here for of two reasons:
  1. Because the Holy Spirit is still drawing you, and
  2. because you have not dealt with your OCD (or similar) head-on.
  • Get treated by a psychiatrist (not just a psychologist).
  • Do not isolate yourself; go to church! (Preferably one that is good at dealing with mental illnesses.)

You cannot commit the unforgivable sin unless you completely reject Christ and die in that state.

Have no fear at all.

God is merciful.
