Blasphemy (Heb. nê’âtsâh ; Gr. blasf’mía ). Term that denotes defamatory or insulting language towards God. However, the Hebrew and Greek words are also used with respect to words and acts that attempt against the honor, honor and / or fame of people. Such phrases or facts include swearing, curses, insults, slander, insults, imprecations, etc. In the RVR this term is generally reserved for cases in which the name or character of God is defamed (Lev. 24:11; Jam 2:7), either directly (Act 6:11) or implicitly, as when evidences of divine power are attributed to the devil (Mat 12:24) or divinity or divine prerogatives are claimed (Mat 9:1-6; 26:64-66; Joh 10:33, 36). Under Mosaic law blasphemy was punishable by stoning (Lev 24:11-16; cf Act 6:13; 7:56-59). Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is not forgiven (Mar 3:28, 29). 174

Greek blasphemy, insult, insult. In ancient religions, as read in the Scripture, injurious word or action against any deity or against God or his representatives, which was punishable by death. As in the Decalogue it was forbidden to falsely take the name of Yahweh, Ex 20, 7; 22, 27; Lev 19, 12; 24, 10-16; 1 Kings 21, 10-13; Dan 14, 1-8; Acts 19, 37. The Jews did not pronounce the name of ® Yahweh, for fear of blaspheming.
The enemies of the Israelites profaned, insulted and blasphemed the name of Yahweh, and in many cases the sins of the people were an occasion for those to blaspheme, 1 M 7, 38 and 41; 2 M 8, 4; 10, 35; 12, 14; Tb 1, 18; Salt 74 (73), 10-18; Is 37, 23; 52, 5; Ez 36, 20; Rm 2, 24. Not keeping the Sabbath was b. Numbers 15, 32-36. Jesus was accused by the Jews of B., not for declaring himself the Messiah, since the Jews believed that this was a man who would free them from the Romans; they accused him of such, because he claimed for himself the divine character, Mt 9, 3; 26, 59-66; Mark 14, 53-64; John 10, 31-34. Among the first Christians, Stephen, as was done in the OT, was stoned, accused of blaspheming by false witnesses, bribed for that purpose, Acts 6, 11-14. Jesus Christ, during his passion and being on the cross, received insults, that is, blasphemies, in word and deed, Mt 26, 67; 27, 39; Mark 14, 65; 15, 29; Lk 22, 65. When Paul preached the Word to the Jews, they contradicted him with blasphemies, Acts 13, 45; 18, 6. In Scripture, it is said that the greatest sin of man is b. against the Holy Spirit, Mt 12, 31; that is to say, if man closes his eyes before the works of the Holy Spirit, having been enlightened, as it is said in Heb 6, 4-6; 10, 26-31; 1 Jn 5, 16-17; he puts himself out of salvation. St. Paul acknowledges that, although out of ignorance, he was a blasphemer before his conversion, 1 Tm 1, 13. The same Apostle, when he recommends Timothy to remain firm in the faith in Christ, says that Hymenaeus and Alexander, who apostatized from their faith, handed them over to Satan, 1 Tm 1, 18-20.

To reproach or make an accusation and derision against anyone is bad enough (Jude 1:9), but to speak lightly or carelessly of God is a mortal sin. The third commandment (You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, Exo 20:7), was meticulously observed by the Jews who did not even pronounce the sacred name (Jehovah), so that today no one knows for sure how it is said. pronounced.
God prescribed that in Israel the punishment for blasphemy would be death by stoning (Lev 24:10-16). Naboth was falsely accused of blasphemy and stoned to death (1Ki 21:10-13), as was Stephen (Act 6:11). Stoning was also on the minds of those who accused Jesus of blasphemy (Mat 9:3; Mat 26:65; Luk 5:31; Joh 10:33). What Jesus said about himself would have been blasphemous if it were not the truth. See UNPARDONABLE SIN.

Injurious word against God, the Virgin or the Saints. Jewish law punished her with death by stoning: (stoned). That is why they stoned Stephen to death, falsely accused of blasphemy: (Acts 6:11).
Christ was also accused of blasphemy, so they sentenced him to death: (Mat 26:65-66). They killed him on the cross, because it was the sentence of the Romans: (the Jews would have stoned him). Mat 9:3, Joh 10:33.
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. The unforgivable sin: Mat 12:31, Mark 3:29, Luke 12:10.

Any word or act that disrespects the majesty of God, or that insults his works. This includes taking God’s name in vain (Exo 20:7). That is why it was avoided to pronounce the †¢Name ( †¢Adonai. †¢Tetragrammaton). A son of an Egyptian father and an Israelite mother † œblasphemed the Name, and cursed †, for which he was sentenced to death, and that penalty was established for blasphemers (Lev 24: 10-16, Lev 24:23). The evils committed in the sanctuary by the sons of †¢Elí were considered as b. (1Sa 3:13). David’s sin with “Bathsheba” caused “the enemies of Jehovah” to blaspheme (2Sa 12:14). A believer who steals is blaspheming the name of his God (Pro 30:9). The Pharisees and other religious leaders were always on the lookout because they wanted to accuse the Lord Jesus of b. When the Lord forgave sins, the Pharisees thought that he was committing b., because he was attributing to himself something that only corresponded to God (Mat 9: 1-3; Mar 2: 7; Luc 5:21). That is why they came to tell him that they criticized him for b. (†œBecause you, being a man, make yourself God† ). Finally, when they condemned him, they relied on an alleged sin of b. (Matt 26:65). When some people attributed the works of the Holy Spirit to Satan, the Lord Jesus warned that doing so constitutes a b. who has no forgiveness (Mar 3:22-30).
Also considered b. disrespect, not only to God, but to his servants. Thus, when they wanted to harm Stephen, the Jewish religious leaders “bribed some to say that they had heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God” (Acts 6:11). The Jews at Antioch in Pisidia “disproved what Paul said, contradicting and blaspheming” (Acts 13:45). It is doubtful that in this case they were direct expressions against God, but violent arguments and insults against Paul and his message. The doctrine, then, can also be the object of b. We are told that “the way of truth” can be blasphemed (2Pe 2:2), indicating insult against the teachings of the gospel. The last times will be characterized, among other things, by the abundance of blasphemous men (2Ti 3:1-5). The Scripture also warns against committing b. against “the superior powers” (Jude 1:8-10) and we are exhorted to respect them, even the angels who oppose God.
insults against sacred things, or against the servants of God, or against “the superior powers” (Jude 1:8-10 will be severely punished. How much more when the insults are directed against the Holy Spirit, who is God! The Lord Jesus said that “whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit is never forgiven, but is guilty of eternal judgment” (Mar 3:29).It is evident that he was referring, first of all, to the criticism that was made against him certain religious leaders, who “said that he had Beelzebub, and that by the prince of demons he cast out demons” (Mar 3:22). They called, then, Beelzebub, nothing less than the Spirit of God. This b. it is unforgivable, says the Lord.
From other Scriptures we know that the Holy Spirit is not insulted only with words. Through him it was that the Lord performed miracles and wonders, “but although he had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in him” (Jua 12:37). This unbelief is also an insult to the †¢Holy Spirit.

vet, Blasphemy has a broader meaning in Holy Scripture than in common language. It included slander, and encompasses any word or act offensive to the divine majesty, such as profaning holy places, altering rites, knowingly violating the law, taking God’s name in vain, etc. To avoid the latter as much as possible, the very pronunciation of the sacred name of Jehovah was omitted, substituting it with “Adonai” (“Lord”). In the New Testament, blasphemy means the usurpation by man of divine prerogatives. Jesus’ enemies accused him of blasphemy (Mt. 19:26; Jn. 10:36), because they did not recognize his deity. The evangelists consider all insult to Christ blasphemy. The most serious blasphemy, which admits of no forgiveness, is that which goes against the Holy Spirit (Mt. 3:28). This particular blasphemy against the Holy Spirit was attributing the Lord’s action of casting out demons to satanic power, in the face of undeniable evidence of his divine power. This sin was not to be forgiven in this age, nor in the age to come. The context gives evidence that “the unforgivable sin” refers to this particular form of blasphemy (Mt. 12:24-32; cf. Mark 3:22-30). The Jews violently expressed their indignation at the blasphemy (Mt. 26:65; Acts 7:51). Blasphemy was punishable by death (Lev. 24:6; 1 Kings 21:10; Acts 6:13). (See also HOLY SPIRIT).

Offense of word or deed uttered or carried out against God or His Saints, against religious signs or persons or realities consecrated to the divinity. In Scripture this divine offense is frequently condemned.
56 times in the New Testament the term blas-femia (blapto, to hurt and femy, to say) appears in the New Testament, meaning “bad word”, as opposed to blessing (saying well).
That is why the term is incorporated into the Christian vocabulary as an offense or insult directed at God or divine realities. (See God)

To blaspheme is to belittle, insult and curse the holy name of God (Lk 24,11-16; Ex 22,27). In theory it is the most serious sin, punishable in the OT with capital punishment (Lev 24,16). But blasphemy is not only this; it encompasses many other things; v. Gr., belittling a sacred person and profaning holy things (Act 6,11; Rom 2,24), claiming divine power to forgive sins (Mt 9,3; Mc…
