• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Reasons I keep thinking I'm going to hell.

Hi,

I just wanted to see what people thought of the reasons I keep thinking I'm going to hell. So far, no matter how many people tell me God loves me, I keep thinking I'm going to hell because of these reasons.

First, I found mysterious writing in my house condemning me. I found writing in my room talking about my worst sins, condemning me to hell. I also found mysterious writing in my house on the wall and on the refrigerator. I found writing where I used to measure my height saying "This is the height [you] died at." I also found writing on my refrigerator saying "You go... [down]." This [down] was a big down arrow. I found writing leading to the crawl space under my house saying "In here :)." The voices in my head have told me that I need to go under my house in order to save myself.

I also found writing on my hand. I found a message saying "I [heart] u" written on the palm of my hand. This was nice, but after I said some bad things about Jesus to my friend I found another message on my hand saying "I made a mistake." I believe that Jesus was trying to tell me that forgiving me was a mistake. I keep telling myself that I blew it. Jesus told me he loves me and I threw it away by saying bad things about him. I also saw an image of Jesus on my clothing that said "Have a very merry hell."

I also met mysterious people while out of the house. One time I was handing out Bibles in the city near my house. I met a mysterious man on a bench after giving a few Bibles out. He said "You can call me Israel. You know, like Isaac and Jacob. You shouldn't hand out Bibles unless you read it often." He was telling me I don't read the Bible enough to pass it out to other people. I believe he was an angel sent by God to condemn me. I also met another mysterious person while trying to help someone who was in prison by getting people to sign a petition to help him. He came right up to me and accused me of my most serious sins. I asked him if he would at least sign the petition for the man in prison I was trying to help and he said "Hell no."

I met one last mysterious person while I was on the train. He seemed like he was crazy and he came right up to me and said "Hi. I'm a good person. You know me. You know me." Then he told me his name and said, "I'm a good person. I have two children and have my own business. I'm a good person. You know me." Then in the end he said "Could you please point me out to a casino?" Then he looked like he completely lost his mind and I stopped talking and following him. The reason this is significant is I keep thinking I'm going to hell because of a bet I made in my head. I feel like it is a sign from God that he knows the bet I made and he will send me to hell because of it.

Can you see why all of this is really troubling me? No matter how many times people tell me "God loves you," I can't believe it! I keep thinking of all these weird things that happened to me and I keep thinking, if I'm not going to hell, why did all these things happen? Why did God give me all of these signs telling me I'm going to hell if it's not going to happen? I mean, the person who came out of nowhere and started accusing me of my worst sins really seemed to hate me. He seemed like he was full of anger and hatred and really wanted me to go to hell.

On top of all this, I hear voices in my head condemning me as well, all day long. One voice laughs and laughs and laughs. He laughs at me literally all day long.

Does anyone have any advice? How can I move on past these signs? Is there any hope? I swear people tell me all the time that God loves me, but I keep thinking of these signs and keep feeling like I really must be going to hell, and there is nothing I can do to stop it.

Thank you,

SnowTiger

Hello SnowTiger, they might be warnings, but you shouldn't believe you are condemned to hell long before your death. No one will be condemned to hell before he dies, there're always opportunities to repent.

The ONLY thing that we can ultimately trust is the Word of God. Strange writings, strange people, strange happenings don't hold any weight to the Word of God.
Focus your mind like a laser beam on what the Bible says about God's love for His people.
Romans 8:31-39
If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
...No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I'm wondering if you take medications for the voices. I heard voices and take medication for it and now there usually all gone. Getting rid of the voices is a good thing I think since you indicated that they are negative.

I'm taking medication and it helps a little but I still hear voices all day long. If I don't take it I can't sleep for days, so I take it even though it doesn't get rid of the voices.

It has to do with what you believe, if you believe you go to hell then you wont believe that God loves you. On the other hand if you believe God loves you because of Jesus then you don't believe any longer that you will go to hell. It is best to understand that you are looking at yourself and the signs you had and not at Jesus and what His loving truth says this is why you can't break free.

The best way to fight these signs is to let the truth of God's word expose the lies there in and set you free in His loving truth.

John 5:24
“Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life."

John 11:21
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;"

So faith in Jesus will bring you His good life. So please cultivate faith in God's love in your heart instead of dread and fear.

When you look at the signs they will beguile you like they have for so long now, so you have to look at Jesus and let Him set you free from the power these bad experiences have over you. Faith in God's love will set you free. So pray for faith.

Thanks that makes me feel better.

I wouldn't listen to papers or writings that you found lying around. And I'm not understanding how they got there in the first place. But it's outside influence and not a personal revelation. Also some of those people you think were angels don't sound right. Like they're crazy instead and perhaps some strange coincidence.

My suggestion is to learn how Jesus is your friend and loves you. And keep understanding that.

...So far, no matter how many people tell me God loves me, I keep thinking...
First, I found mysterious writing in my house condemning me.

I also found writing on my hand

No matter how many times people tell me "God loves you," I can't believe it!

First, you obviously are very selective regarding to what you will take as a proof. You prefer crazy strangers and "mysterious writings" against words of Scriptures and against what Christians tell you.

Second, you seem to be very superstitious (giving a serious meaning to minor/accidental events in your life).

On top of all this, I hear voices in my head condemning me as well, all day long. One voice laughs and laughs and laughs. He laughs at me literally all day long.
Third, you are obviously mentally ill. From what you wrote I would guess some kind of schizofrenia combined with OCD. Some of things you "saw, heard or "found" were probably not real at all.

In my opinion, you should:
a) treat it medically
b) do not put any theology/faith in what you will receive from this mental state
c) stop being superstitious and base your faith on what is a solid foundation (Bible, what real Christians keep telling you) instead of various probably not real events in your life.
d) change your lifestyle to be more healthy and balanced

If you truly believe in Jesus Christ and, lets summarize it, in apostolic/nicean creeds, you are not going to hell. Period.

First off, DO NOT go into the crawl space under your house. Secondly, you have some strange things happening but there are also things happening within your mind that are not real. You might want to try and get more sleep and see if it gets better.
