Am I doomed?
Question:
Hello,
I beg you to answer this question: Did I commit an unforgivable sin? I know blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable. I have done despicable acts that I deeply regret and beg God's forgiveness.
This in no way excuses what I have done, but I should mention that I have had depression for most of my life except for a short time when I did not feel like garbage due to a godly woman.
For years, I repeatedly told myself that God lied.
Three or four times, I paid an online "spellcaster" (which I did think was fake, but I did it anyway because I thought it would make me feel better). The last time I did it, I felt something leave me. I got very scared, and I immediately canceled the spell.
I lied about my dreams.
I regularly beg God's forgiveness for these things.
I welcome the scriptures' explanation of whether or not I am doomed, but I also ask for a simple yes or no answer to my question.
I feel so empty and scared that I am doomed. Please help me.
Thank you for your time.
Answer:
See "Are You Unforgivable?"
God doesn't reject people and leave them in sin. God wants to save people from their sins. As He told Israel, "'Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, each according to his conduct,' declares the Lord GOD. 'Repent and turn away from all your transgressions, so that iniquity may not become a stumbling block to you. Cast away from you all your transgressions which you have committed and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! For why will you die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies,' declares the Lord GOD. 'Therefore, repent and live'" (Ezekiel 18:30-32).
If you wish to be saved, you must live according to God's laws. Therefore, you must stop lying to others and to yourself. You also need to stop looking to witchcraft to solve your problems. "When you enter the land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the detestable things of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD; and because of these detestable things the LORD your God will drive them out before you. You shall be blameless before the LORD your God. For those nations, which you shall dispossess, listen to those who practice witchcraft and to diviners, but as for you, the LORD your God has not allowed you to do so" (Deuteronomy 18:9-14).
While these sins are wrong, God never said He would refuse to forgive any sin. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, start improving your life.
