Hullo my name is Repenter and I am posting this further to my earlier post about the Unpardonable Sin. I am still having major difficulties in this area and have of late been plagued with strong urges to turn my life over to Satan which I do not want to do. Things came to a head tonight when I had a strong thought about the Holy ghost being Satanic. I know this is not true but once again I would be interested to know if anyone else has had a similar experience, how they dealt with it and if it can be overcome forgiven or is it the deal breaker for a Christian that I fear it is. I hate Satan and want nothing to do with him but when these feelings take hold of me it is almost like someone else is in control of me. Please help if you can, I don't know how much more I can take of this.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I'm not sure what you mean. I ask Jesus to forgive me for my sins but in my case where my sins are so bad I get little comfort from praying. But yes, I do pray.

Do you think your sins are worse than any other mans? Maybe you should humble yourself in front of God first and repent the sin of pride. God knows what's in our hearts get upon thine knees and humble yourself to the lord almighty pray that he may except you as his servent, feel his Holy Spirit upon you.

This is an unusual perspective on the problem one I have not come across before. I am certainly not proud of my sins but I can understand where you are coming from re this, and yes, in this context I DO think my sins are worse than a lot of other people by their very nature. What I draw from my situation is not pride but self condemnation and fear. I can accept however that thinking one's sins are worse than anothers could be construed as a from of pride. I will include this in my prayers as I continue to wrangle with this nightmare.

Strong thought(s) about the Holy Ghost being Satanic. I do not like even writing this but this is the sin of which I speak. I do not think it is true, I know it is not but these thoughts and accompanying hard feelings (which are perhaps even worse than the thoughts themselves ) still assail me.

These thoughts come to you from prideful spirits, resist them and the kingdom of heaven will be upon you. In your evening prayers wait until it is dark and quiet and fall upon your knees beg upon the Lord and praise his name, let his presence comfort and anoint you

I have long been a target for demons, I know that. I will try evening prayers as you suggest - I cannot accept that I have committed the unforgivable sin.

When the Lord sees you he will scatter the vile spirits from you and restore your soul. He will lead you beside still waters and you will be anointed through Christ our Lord. Take this testimony to your church and let them know that Jesus our Lord has awakened your soul. They will praise God and welcome you into their fold, the shepherd has many flocks, but the shepherd watches over us all.

Repenter.
I see you made your first post here earlier this month - and then started to post about this problem in the Christian Advice area.
This part of the Board is intended for Introductions - not giving advice - I can't help feeling that you will get more help in the Advice section or perhaps you would prefer to 'talk' to one of our Chaplains in http://www.christianforums.com/forums/ask-a-chaplain.792/
You can be assured of complete confidentiality when posting with a Chaplain - it can be done either privately [ where no one will see the exchanges between you both ] or anonymously

As above, the Chaplains are friendly and can offer support. If you are not getting the help you need from the Christian Advice Section please make use of them!
We aren't allowed to discuss these issues in the Introduction Area, but quickly - this worry and the associated thoughts I have noticed is often characteristic of OCD. I hope this grants you a little comfort and answers your question on others having similar experiences.
God knows your heart.

I would have preferred to post in another section, but it seems I can only read posts not actually post in any other section that is why I went back to introductions. I would really like to know how to actually post in these forums.
