Excellent. Thank youMembers need 20 posts and 5 likes to start a conversation (pm). Looks like you have enough of both now.
Well I figured I have based off of at least one thing being that after spending years as a militant atheist amd reading what the Pharisees did, I think intent well beyond their level. But I'll say 99.99 percent that I have. I have to not say 100 because I can't for sure amd leave myself some hope.How do you know?
So I'm a vessel of wrath and have commited the unpardonable sin. I'm being severely punished by God while I'm still alive. My life is utter misery and has been for the better part of the year.
So here is my question: assuming what I've stated above is true, what do I do with my life? I can't truly repent even though in my flesh I'm abstaing from sin the best I can but it's BRUTAL! Should I continue with this and just bless as many people as I can with kindness and gifts, and be as merciful to people as I can? Maybe my punishment in Hell will be a little less?

Well that's an interesting angle on it. Well I suppose the answer could be that, regardless of my fate, I should be kind and merciful, which I am, but maybe step it up whether or not it lessens my punishment, because it's good to be kind amd merciful.As a teacher, before I answer a student's question, I ask them what they think the answer is. Based on their reply, I guide them into the answer.
So, what do you think is the answer to your questions, the stated and the unstated.
As fat as getting saved, maybe find an intercessor to ask God to grant me mercy.
'm a mess because this incessant tormenting sound never let's me have rest, ever. I do attend church but no affect. I've tried deliverance menisters etc.. now most family thinks I'm a pyschiatric case but I know it's not that.
As I understand it and consistent with Calvin, all are sinners and deserve hell, but God has chosen to save some. Only God knows who he has chosen, we just look at the evidence and make our educated guesses.Well that's an interesting angle on it.

"Tragically, everything a sinner does is sin"As I understand it and consistent with Calvin, all are sinners and deserve hell, but God has chosen to save some. Only God knows who he has chosen, we just look at the evidence and make our educated guesses.
Furthermore, before you are saved, you are a slave to sin and cannot even want to repent and be saved. Even faith is impossible without God's help.
1. If you truly turn to God, repent and believe, you will be saved and you have not actually committed an unpardonable sin.
2. But assuming everything you said is true in the OP, you are just trying to get the easiest hell you can. Tragically, everything a sinner does is sin and the more you know the guiltier you are. So your best path is to know nothing and do nothing, but don't harm yourself as that is a sin as well.
The best choice is to become a hermit (Tibet is nice) and meditate on prime numbers.
God can save to the uttermost.
Paul was complicit in the murder of Christians.
There is always hope for those who repent.
Interesting, thank you for your reply. I actually see a pyschiatrist and two counselors who are baffled by my case and have failed to diagnose me.. They all suggest I get a brain scan to rule out a tumor on my brain; I've agreed to do.We go to church to worship, to encourage others, to be encouraged, challenged and instructed.
There is nothing in this story that indicates you are being punished by God, so you were blasphous, so what Paul murdered Christians, yet was not punished, are you a worse sinner than paul?
Again you have presented no evidence to substanciate your belief that your claim that you do not have a mental health problem.
May I suggest that you do seek medical help, untill you have seen a doctor you do not know whether you have a problem or not,
So, what WOULD be evidence of punishment from God?

I would sever my right leg at the knee to talk to a true prophet of God...I look at it the other way round Hebrews 9:27 Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
Shows that judgement and as a result punishment comes after we have died.
Revelation also shows people being judged and punished after Jesus's return.
So I would argue that unless a known prophet has told you that you are being punished by God and what you need to do to repent, you are not being punished.
