Question Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit
I know this is a common thing that comes up on Christian subreddits so I apologize for adding to it but: earlier today I was feeling overwhelmed by temptation and and felt angry that I was always feeling convicted of my sin and how much easier it is to just give in.
I’m worried that feeling angry at the Holy Spirit for convicting me of my sin is the unpardonable sin and so now I’m vacillating between anxiety about being irretrievably damned, feeling comforted, and then feeling anxiety about feeling comforted since from what I’ve read worrying that you’ve commuted the unpardonable sin is a sign you haven’t committed it thus it stands to reason not worrying could be a sign you have committed it
I guess it goes without saying that I have OCD and scrupulosity and that the vast majority of my experience with faith prior to joining the LCMS was in Calvinist traditions. I’d just appreciate some clarity on this issue and prayers that I’ll find some peace.
