some hope...

[Caty]

i've been surfing different things about the unforgivable sin and most all of them sya that repentance and remorse and a desire for God is given by God...they say stuff like how God wouldnt just play with our minds and feelings and that if you feel/desire these things then you have not commited it...im started to have a little more hope that i havent. i know you all have been telling me but when i read it from many different sources it is sinking in a little more. please just pray that if i am forgiveable that God will open my mind and help me please.

I am continuing to pray for you, Caty. I know it's miserable. I used to struggle with this one too. But yes, I do believe the "rule of thumb" that if you are concerned at all about committing the unpardonable sin, you have not done it. And yes, as you have seen, almost every pastor and theologian anywhere would say the same.

Hi Caty,
I am very happy that you are feeling better and I am praying for you
hold onto that hope and know that Jesus has you in His hand.
blessings

Caty, yeah, like PJ said, this is the nature of OCD. That's why we keep saying that "reassurance" if it's truly OCD you are battling, usually doesn' last very long. That is why recognizing and treating the OCD is the ultimate answer, not simply treating the symptoms with reassurance.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on you own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:5,6)

Walk by faith Caty, God is there with you whether you feel Him there or not. Just know that He is there and is keeping you safe spiritually and physically. God bless!

im not feeling so hot tonight...my anxiety level is on like 10...but im gonna try to lay down and see if it helps, but i always dread laying down cause the thoughts get worse at night...i guess its cause i start thinking and my mind has really nothing to focus on?? thanks for your support, im coming to the conclusion of that i might as well go on like im forgiven cause if i dont ill live in torment for the rest of my life...

thats a beginning to getting better..... GO ON LIKE YOU ARE FORGIVEN... because in reality ... you are... just because our lil pea brains want to condemn us a million times a day... HOW MUCH BiGGER IS GOD??? AND HE said even if our hearts condemn us.... he KNOWS our hearts.... and your heart(spirit) wants JESUS... sooo youve GOT HIM.... its a battle for your mind..... soo... yes try to let it go .....



love ya

im gonna try, but my problem with this is that ill be insulting God if im really not forgiveable and he'll get even more mad at me or something?? Or I'll be highly dissapointed when I die.

This is really an effective way of treating OCD...which is what this is about, Caty.
