@Blood Bought 1953,
Jesus said, Ye must be born again.
If you are trusting in the blood of Jesus to cover your sins but you have not been changed from the inside out so that you are a new creature in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17 (kjv)), you need to question as to whether or not you are truly saved/born again.
If it is true of you that you secretly have "thoughts that would shame hell" then you need to question as to whether you have genuinely been regenerated and renewed by the Holy Ghost (Titus 3:5).
I know that since receiving Christ as my Lord and Saviour, I truly ceased from "having thoughts that would shame hell".
He is most certainly able to do the work in your heart of regenerating and renewing you in the Holy Spirit if you will turn away from your sin and ask Him to cleanse you from all of it (1 John 1:7).
Then you will be born again of the Holy Spirit.
Because if you truly "have thoughts that would shame hell" then personally, I doubt that you have even genuinely been saved (although I am not saying specifically that you are not saved).
Jesus said the following.
Mat 23:25, Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Mat 23:26, Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
Mat 23:27, Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Mat 23:28, Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
By condemning those whose cup and platter are not clean on the inside, He is teaching us that He is able to cleanse the inside of the cup and platter.
Now read 1 John 1:7 and you will see that I have proven my point.
Even a Non-Christian like “ Dear Abbey” had the smarts and the insight and the courage to admit that “ we ALL have secret thoughts that would Shame Hell”
