Triggered again by the unpardonable sin

[HopingForJesus]

I have been making a concerted effort to reading a little of my bible each day and was in Luke when I got triggered by the unpardonable sin. I don't think anything will ever help me get over this because it is always lurking in the back of my mind that in my thoughts I have spoken against the Holy Spirit and Why would God have such a snare in the first place? I am trying to work hard on loving God and feeling his love for me and others. I want to live a holier life. But, if I am going to fry ... this is just sad all the way around.

With OCD, spikes come sometimes even after we think we've mostlly gotten past something. I know you have probably read all about this subject. Just let me say as someone said recently, I don't think Jesus was talking at all about people who desired to come to him but those who had hardened their hearts so much they were willing to dismiss anything as not being of God because they didn't WANT to believe. Jesus also said that WHOEVER comes to Him, He would not cast out. He is not desiring for any to perish. At the end of the day, I think the cliche is true that...if you have any concern about committing this sin, YOU definitely have NOT. Try not to ruminate on it. The more you ruminate, the worse it gets and conversely, the less you do and go about your life, the more you are able to put this in true perspective.
(By the way, my counselor told me one time that in her experience, almost EVERYONE (Christian) who battles OCD will think they have committed the unpardonable sin at one time or another. She told me she was actually surprised I'd never battled this. Ha, ha, I had to laugh because I certainly had battled it. Just never told HER about it cuz it was in the past!)

Thank you Kay Kay. I appreciate all of your help for sure. I will do my best to reflect on it. My mind is in a negative tailspin right now so I am really struggling. God bless

Essentially it's just deliberate denial of the Holy Spirit's testimony about Jesus Christ. If you accept that He is God the Son you haven't done it.

KayKay.. I'd also like to thank you for your post! It put a smile on my face. Everytime I try to serve the Lord, I always get attacked with blasphemous thoughts. I always fall back on 1 John 1:9 and John 6:37 and I am comforted.

I just want everyone to know that struggles with blasphemous thoughts/unpardonable sin issues: YOU are NOT alone!

I always used think that I was the ONLY one in the whole world with this problem.
It something in churches people don't talk about or will admit b/c of fear of judgement from "religious" people in the church.

Hang in there my friends! You are saved, you are washed in the Precious Blood of the Lamb and God's Loving Spirit still lives in You!
