I have OCD thoughts sometimes and thought it was me thinking but other people's stories made me relax and not freak out as much. But on Sunday, I was thinking about God and Jesus and The Holy Spirit and how I will out all day and have to be able to control my thoughts. Well, I was thinking and my mind wanted to fill in the some blank spaces (I have been Catholic all my life but quit C.C.D. at a young age so I don't know a lot about The Holy Trinity but I know the very important basics, but still want to know God more and build a relationship with Him. Anyway, I started thinking how the devil kept putting those horrible thoughts in my head, then I started thinking "where did the devil even come from" and my mind came to a conclusion that The Holy Spirit made him, now RIGHT AFTER my mind thought this thought I said "OH NO! did i just think that?" so I immediately looked up where the devil came from and I now know that he was an angel but rebelled against God, etc. After I looked that up I IMMEDIATELY changed the previous thought I had, because I know that The Holy Spirit is completely good and holy but my brain just filled in the blank with its on conclusion. I think that thought wasn't my OCD, that's why I'm so scared. All that day I prayed to God asking for forgiveness and telling Him how sorry I was/am. I got so scared that God was going to leave me and not love me anymore that I got sick to my stomach and couldn't see or even smell food. This happened once before Sunday with my OCD thoughts and I got sick to my stomach and I got chest pains I was so scared. I wasn't saying The Holy Spirits works were from the devil, I thought The Holy Spirit just made the devil but continued His good works still. This forum helped me but people say all different things that are blasphemy against The Hold Spirit, so I still don't know. Here is the link: Forgivable or Blasphemous? - Christian Forums
I'm so scared because even though I still don't believe what I thought (i believed what I thought for less than five minutes) I still thought it, and feel like God won't forgive me. :(
I read what The New Testament says but I'm still worried, I have repented so many times on Sunday and also since Sunday asking God not to leave me, not to condemn me, not to give up on me, and asked Him to love me, forgive me, and understand. I'm so scared right now and I'm afraid of committing it again because of my OCD. Please help me, will God forgive for this? I'm so scared God will leave me. :,(

Danielle:

1. The Trinity is that God, One and only, is three persons. Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Though they are three distinct persons, they are the same Lord, the same God. No one can fully comprehend this great attribute of God, just as the rest.

2. God did create the devil, it is believed that he was an angel that rebelled just as you have heard.

3. With OCD, you can work yourself up pretty hard. Don't worry, there is no fickleness in God. If He loves you,, He will love you to the end. A mistake is to compare His love with human's fallible and flawed love, He is faithful and true. He is always ready to forgive, He is merciful. God will not leave you, if He has you. He knows how weak you are as a human, when you become His, He will help you. His grace is greater than any sin you can commit, but don't live in sin, live in the obedience of God in the santifying work of the Spirit.

But am I still forgiven and still have God with me even though it wasn't my OCD that made me think that? I corrected that blasphemy thought a couple minutes after I thought it, will God understand that I no longer believe what I thought and that I am so very sorry? I repented all day long on Sunday hoping God would hear me and forgive me. :(

He won't leave you,
You said you have asked forgiveness? good first step.

It was obviously a demon putting these thoults in your head, i recommend you do dilliverance (praying for god to remove the certain demon) there is a list of demons and a prayer to do on demonbuster.com, Have you been baptized in the Holy spirit? are you born again christian? and are you filled with the holy spirit? if you have answered any of these with a No then I recommend reading this link. How to become a Born Again Christian

Let's read scripture and find out. :)

1 John 1:9 NAS

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

The scriptures also says the Holy Spirit in you is your seal of redemption (Ephesians 4:30). He is your seal for salvation. He will not leave you.

The Holy Spirit, is the infinite spirit of God, being filled with the Spirit, is when he fills you with a bit of his Spirit, allowing you to slowly gain some of the gifts he mentions in the bible (spiritual gifts) as you grow through faith, (I am a sprit filled christian), the Holy Spirit, you are baptized in it once, but you can be filled with it multiable times, When ever your filled with it, it just feels awesome you will litterly be able to feel Gods Love. and your personality will start to change and you might start changing in to a better person for example, your eating habbits. how much you exercise, how much you go to church and praise God. and even more could change unto your living on the right path God wants for you!

The Holy Spirit is the third Person in the Trinity. He is the one who regenerates and brings you into a spiritual life while you were dead in sin. This is called being born again. God then draws you to believe in the gospel, and gives you the gift of faith by grace to believe His word. By faith, you are justified, and adopted as one of His and the Spirit of God dwells in you to seal, sanctify, cleanse you from sin, and help you understand the truth. Without Him, we cannot see or worship God properly. He is God.

Who told you that you have? where in the bible does it say blasphemy can not be forgiven? some people will try to decieve you to get you away from God.

If you think about it. we all committed blasphemy before we were christians.

The unforgivable sin is unbelief. Disregarding the truth and claiming something holy as unworthy or unrighteous.

Well I don't exactly see what you did wrong, you had questions about something, and you went to find a real answer. Everyone gets to that point sometime in their life, and some a lot. Don't ever hesitate to ask a question about the Word. Grow in the Word, study it! :)

Repent from all sin and unrighteousness.

"Disregarding the truth and claiming something holy as unworthy or unrighteous." isn't that what I did though? I thought and believed in my head that The Holy Spirit created the devil. Does still imply even though I do not believe what I thought anymore?

But Danielle, do you disregard God and live like the people of the world? If no, then don't worry you aren't living the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. :)

The Holy Spirit did create the devil, everything made was made by God. Do you not believe this anymore?

I do believe that but what I thought was before I knew the truth about how the devil became what he is, I thought The Holy Spirit just made him just because. ????

Danielle1234: the fact that you're so sincere in your fear that you may have committed this sin, and the fact that you're so careful to find out and eager to repent, is the surest sign that you're fine. Those that are in danger are those who are hardened and don't even care. Don't be Under condemnation, God loves you.
