I have OCD i found am changing faith a lot and having blasphemous thoughts
I have to wait 6 months for therapy and am on medication as well
Would God forgive me for changing faith and the blasphemous thoughts ?
I have other problems too with my mental health its seems like my mental health has taken over me like am possessed or something
I dont believe that i am possessed
But i feel out of control

Do you know christianity is false and another is true? if not why would you convert? seems to be ocd I can relate. Hence why Jesus said one can blaspheme the Son and be forgiven but not the Holy Spirit
It hurts my heart to see people betray christianity and go to another religion and sleep around and pretend they are not searing their consciences. Hence why God created an everlasting shame and contempt for sinners who do not return to the LORD. Not everyone who plans on returning to the LORD does. Many will seek to enter but will not be able to. God gives people their just reward. Perhaps it is unjust to give an eternal shame so it won't be eternal or maybe it is not harsh.
Maybe I need to learn to love sinners more or maybe I have to give up universalism to offer to the LORD a pure sacrifice and make a holy people for the LORD. I wished we were all universalist but it may not be true hence why we are not

David says
Psalm 51
12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
And sinners shall be converted to You.

Will God say to apostate christians what He said to unbelieving Israel? many shall come from the north the south the east the west but the sons of the kingdom will be thrust into outer darkness?

47 And that servant who knew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48 But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.

That is one may not know christianity is true that is because one does not bother to seek God and read the bible hence they are beaten with few yet they are damned

you're just starting to deal with a real hard sickness.. God won't abandon you, ninja. He's always there for you. Look at some of the changes of hearts that are found in the bible.. look what some of those people did.. God accepted them once they truly understood what was right and is wrong. you're doing fine.. just remember, Jesus is the only way, no matter what the rushed thoughts start to go to.. just pray. pray hard. i heard the other day that you should pray every prayer as if it were your last.

I cannot answer that question. Only God can. Just trust that God is just and merciful and will take into account everything that you are in the judgement day.

That said, be wary of using your illness as an excuse. God looks not into the physical, even the mental, but instead, looks to your heart. Keep your heart pure, keep your heart filled with Christ, accept Him and allow Him to change your heart and soul, and whatever sickness you have will not matter.

God looks to our spirit not our physical malformations because it is in our spirit that the Kingdom of God can dwell and mark us with the mark that allows us salvation. So be certain of this, and pray to be saved by Christ. If you are willing and your heart is earnest, then he will enter your life and change you from within.

It is good that you realize these thoughts are what they are and destructive to your faith. Best to do is to counter act them by determining to think good thoughts knowing that God understands the condition of your mind better than you do and will help you do so. Changing faiths (?) religion or churches is not the answer and will just cause more confusion.

As Paul says in Philippians 4:13."I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength."

Pray for strength, healing, and deliverance.

Thank you for all your replies
There are reasons why i have a hard time dealing with being Christian
i don't wish to go into it i have lost trust for the church and those who represent the church .

I find other faiths interesting but i think i should look more into Christianity than what i have done .

Well as time has gone on more and more people feel that way at times. BUt remember the people aren't what we should be focusing on to represent christians. God is who we should focus on. There will always be people who for lack of better words "disgust" us because their actions are far from christian. But just ignore them because they have to answer to God for how they act. You are responsible for your actions only. So be more like Jesus so you represent how a christian can be.
