31 And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. I cursed at the holy spirit I said f you and I don’t care if I go to hell and I called god a motherfer. I feel like I am the worst sinner and God won’t forgive me. Why did Jesus say those words I swear I would have been the best Catholic if it wasn’t for those words. Am I eternally damned now? Is there no hope for me? I am bipolar and the first time I said it I had an episode with my dad and the second time I said it I was in jail and had intrusive thoughts and was mad . Can I ever be forgiven or no matter how much I beg and repent I won’t be forgiven?
 
There is a clear and unambiguous answer for you, Sir. One can only mortally sin if one has given full consent of the will. Actions prompted largely by mental illness, like those you describe, do not involve full consent of the will. Try to recognize the things that preceded the actions, and avoid them. But otherwise, just be at peace.

He said it so you would repent and promise never to say them again. Turn your life around. Give yourself to Christ and you will be blest.
 
Yes, you can be forgiven.

Moreover, Scripture scholars dispute what blaspheming against the Holy Spirit is. The Church has no definitive teaching on the matter. And most scholars and priests would not say that the action you took counts as blaspheming against the Holy Spirit, even if it was done with full consent of the will.
 
So cursing doesn’t count as blasphemy? My priest said it can be but it takes more than throwing a couple curse words at him
 
Sir98,

I’ve never cursed the Holy Spirit or God or Jesus, but for most of my life I couldn’t believe that God could love me. I survived a horrendous childhood with neglect and virtual abandonment. So my concept of God was that of a hateful, punishing “father” who would reject me because I wasn’t perfect. I truly believed that I was doomed to Hell! This is despite the reality that God intervened in my life by saving me from my self-destructive behavior.

I still question why Jesus died on the Cross for me, but I’m much more open to reality. Oh yeah, I. too, have severe bipolar plus PTSD. Hey, God DOES love me because I’m still here and they’re all dead!

Hang in there and let Him love you! He really wants to!

Your friend,

Stuart
 
So what is blasphemy then bro? And why do some Bible’s use the word slander instead of blasphemy
 
It is a willful act taken with the full consent of the will. If you had done what you did with full consent, it would be blasphemy. But blasphemy is not the same thing as blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Theologians have disputed what that means. You can research it, if you like.
 
the act or offense of speaking sacrilegiously about God or sacred things; profane talk. That’s the definition of blasphemy. I think I might have done that there’s no hope for me I’m going to hell no one can save me now not even jesus
 
While I’m definitely not nearly as qualified as the other wise peeps here, when it comes to knowing doctrine and stuff (Kinda new to this Catholicism stuff myself) but I don’t like to see anyone scared or sad, and afraid, and I want to help. ❤️

There are many times in the Bible that the words “Be not afraid” are said, and I think these words apply to you, as well. You are not fully in control of your actions, because your mind is not your own. Mental illness is something millions struggle with every day- the best thing you can do is to seek psychiatric assistance; don’t be ashamed, because they help many people with these same problems all the time- they will help you! Everything is going to be fine.

After you make an appointment, you need to do some self-care type things for yourself. Have you eaten? If not, I want ya to heat yourself up something warm, maybe some soup if it’s cold outside, and eat; also, what kind of music do you like? Play that in the background- let yourself relax into it- remember that you’re safe.

Also, take a warm bath or a shower. Put on something comfortable, and read a book- you could also read some of the different topics on here~ do a few things that you enjoy.

Once you get psychiatric help, I can’t tell you how much better you’ll feel.
My grandmother on my mother’s side of the family suffered terribly from schizophrenia and Bipolar disorder, and when she forgot to take her medicine, she would slip into a panic- I imagine what you’re experiencing is similar to what she went through. ❤️

Lastly, remember God will always love you. His understanding is infinite and he knows that you are suffering from something that you cannot help.

Everyone else is telling me I cannot be forgiven so why should I believe that he can?
