• 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.

Hello everyone.

I am sorry but I im such need of help.

My mother is bipolar, I have job that I need to maintain myself. I don't make enough to live on my own. I end up having to live with my mother.

My mother seems to have a huge demon inside her. Draining her life. Her condition is a consequence of sinning her entire life. She is followed by a psychiatrist, and medicated but it isn't enough.

She lost the will to live. Even her children, me and my sister aren't a reason for her to live. When she is not depressed she is maniac. We had to put her into a psychiatric hospital six times already and it's heading towards the seventh.

Sometimes when I am reasoning with her incongruity I end up in a state of confusion due to her irrationality. It seems that it's like a demon she has it wants me to sin also, and her behavior leads me to.

Today. Talking to her to make my point clear I told my strength and will to live, something she is lacking, comes to me from the Father and the bible. I used an expression to her saying "The book of the crazies" referring to the bible. I have sometimes used this expression because people think I am also crazy due to some behaviors of mine and faith. I have the impression that unbelievers think we are delusional and crazy because they don't see/believe/feel what we do, thus thinking we are crazy. So I sometime refer to the bible wrongfully and impulsively as the book of the crazy people.

Today when I used this expression it hurt a lot for the first time. And I realized I shouldn't call it anymore as such. It hurt and it scares me because the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit are included in it, and I have blasphemed or comitted the unforgivable sin.

I haven't done it on purpose or with bad intent. I love the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit with my life, all my heart and they are everything to me. My life, my strength, my will, my breath, they are the sun that rises every morning, my beloved ones, I live for them.

Still I am so afraid of having spoken blasphemy today. Matthew 12:32 "And whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whoever speaks against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."

May the Father guide and bless you all.

I think that God considers the heart and the intent. I don't think that what you did would be considered the same thing as blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. ..just my opinion.

I think the only thing at this point is just talk to God about it. I wouldn't be surprised if you were pleasently surprised at the outcome.

God forgives you. I don't believe its unpardonable at all. I believe its bad of course to do blasphemy... really bad. But not unforgivable. I will say I do believe when someone is mentally ill to the point of they almost don't have full control of their life, God will not judge them as harshly. For example take someone who has Down Syndrome. Like a severe case. If they got saved, would God send them to hell for not leading the life they should once saved? I don't think He would. Sometimes people just can't handle it mentally even though they love the Lord. If your moms saved, I would believe God understands would be gentle with her when she moves on from here.

Hi there, I've struggled with this issue myself as well, exept mine was caused by a different situation.

Yes, it is wrong to blaspheme, and the Bible is Holy. However, this is not the unforgivable sin. God knows you're sorry and you just have to do your best not to do it anymore. The blasphemy of the Holy-Spirit is to reject his witness willfully and in full knowledge. It is to unrelently reject the salvation offered by God. It is basically to not want to be forgiven. Your concern show that you care about God and your relationship with Him. Are you feeling better?
