It is considered a serious sin throughout the Scriptures, as it directly challenges the holiness and sovereignty of God. Old Testament Context In the Old Testament, blasphemy is explicitly condemned and is associated with severe consequences. The Mosaic Law prescribes the death penalty for those who blaspheme the name of the LORD. <a href="/leviticus/24-16.htm">Leviticus 24:16</a> states, "Whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD must surely be put to death. The whole congregation must stone him. Whether he is a foreigner or a native, when he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death." The gravity of blasphemy is further illustrated in the narrative of Naboth's vineyard, where false witnesses accused Naboth of blaspheming God and the king, leading to his unjust execution (<a href="/1_kings/21-10.htm">1 Kings 21:10-13</a>). New Testament Context In the New Testament, blasphemy continues to be a significant concern. Jesus addresses the issue of blasphemy in the context of the unforgivable sin. In <a href="/matthew/12-31.htm">Matthew 12:31-32</a> , Jesus warns, "Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come." This passage highlights the seriousness of attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to demonic forces, as the Pharisees did when they accused Jesus of casting out demons by the power of Beelzebul (<a href="/matthew/12-24.htm">Matthew 12:24</a>). Blasphemy Against Jesus During His earthly ministry, Jesus Himself was accused of blasphemy by the religious leaders. In <a href="/john/10-33.htm">John 10:33</a> , the Jews respond to Jesus, saying, "We are not stoning You for any good work, but for blasphemy, because You, who are a man, declare Yourself to be God." This accusation arose from Jesus' claims of divinity, which the Jewish leaders considered blasphemous. Apostolic Teachings The apostolic writings also address blasphemy, emphasizing the importance of speech that honors God. In <a href="/ephesians/4-29.htm">Ephesians 4:29</a> , Paul exhorts believers, "Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen." This instruction underscores the need for speech that reflects the character of God and edifies others. Paul also warns against blasphemy in the context of false teachings and ungodly behavior. In <a href="/1_timothy/1-20.htm">1 Timothy 1:20</a> , he mentions Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom he "handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme." Cultural and Historical Considerations In biblical times, blasphemy was not only a religious offense but also a social and legal one. The Jewish understanding of blasphemy was deeply rooted in the sanctity of God's name, which was to be revered and honored above all. The cultural context of the ancient Near East, where divine names and attributes were held in high esteem, further underscores the severity of blasphemy as a transgression. Conclusion Blasphemy remains a critical issue in understanding the relationship between humanity and the divine. It serves as a reminder of the reverence due to God and the importance of aligning one's speech and actions with His holiness.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Blasphemyin its technical English sense, signifies the speaking evil of God and in this sense it is found (<a href="/psalms/74-18.htm">Psalms 74:18</a>; <a href="/isaiah/52-5.htm">Isaiah 52:5</a>; <a href="/romans/2-24.htm">Romans 2:24</a>) etc. But according to its derivation it may mean any species of calumny and abuse: see (<a href="/1_kings/21-10.htm">1 Kings 21:10</a>; <a href="/acts/18-6.htm">Acts 18:6</a>; <a href="/jude/1-9.htm">Jude 1:9</a>) etc. Blasphemy was punished by stoning, which was inflicted on the son of Shelomith. (<a href="/leviticus/24-11.htm">Leviticus 24:11</a>) On this charge both our Lord and St. Stephen were condemned to death by the Jews. The blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, (<a href="/matthew/12-32.htm">Matthew 12:32</a>; <a href="/mark/3-28.htm">Mark 3:28</a>) consisted in attributing to the power of Satan those unquestionable miracles which Jesus performed by "the finger of God" and the power of the Holy Spirit. It is plainly such a state of wilful, determined opposition to God and the Holy Spirit that no efforts will avail to lead to repentance. Among the Jews it was a sin against God answering to treason in our times.<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div>BlasphemyA man is guilty of blasphemy, when he speaks of God, or his attributes, injuriously; when he calumniously ascribe such qualities to him as do not belong to him, or robs him of those which do. The law sentenced blasphemers to death, Le 24:12-16. In a lower sense, men are said to be blasphemed when abused by calumnious and reviling words, <a href="/1_kings/21-10.htm">1 Kings 21:10</a>; <a href="/acts/6-11.htm">Acts 6:11</a>. <a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>In the sense of speaking evil of God this word is found in <a href="/psalms/74-18.htm">Psalm 74:18</a>;<a href="/psalms/52-5.htm"> Isaiah 52:5</a>; <a href="/romans/2-24.htm">Romans 2:24</a>; <a href="/revelation/13-1.htm">Revelation 13:1</a>, 6;<a href="/revelation/16-9.htm"> 16:9</a>, 11, 21.

Others regard the expression as designating the sin of attributing to the power of Satan those miracles which Christ performed, or generally those works which are the result of the Spirit's agency. <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

(1) In the Old Testament as substantive and vb.: (a) (barakh) "Naboth did blaspheme God and the king" (<a href="/1_kings/21-10.htm">1 Kings 21:10, 13</a> the King James Version); (b) (gadhaph) of Senna-cherib defying Yahweh (<a href="/2_kings/19-6.htm">2 Kings 19:6, 22</a> = <a href="/isaiah/37-6.htm">Isaiah 37:6, 23</a>; also <a href="/psalms/44-16.htm">Psalm 44:16</a> <a href="/ezekiel/20-27.htm">Ezekiel 20:27</a>; compare <a href="/numbers/15-30.htm">Numbers 15:30</a>), "But the soul that doeth aught with a high hand (i.e. knowingly and defiantly),. the same blasphemeth (so the Revised Version (British and American), but the King James Version "reproacheth") Yahweh; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people." Blasphemy is always in word or deed, injury, dishonor and defiance offered to God, and its penalty is death by stoning; (c) (charaph) of idolatry as blasphemy against Yahweh (<a href="/isaiah/65-7.htm">Isaiah 65:7</a>); (d) (naqabh) "And he that blasphemeth the name of Yahweh, he shall surely be put to death" (<a href="/leviticus/24-11.htm">Leviticus 24:11, 16</a>); (e) (na'ats) David's sin is an occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme (<a href="/2_samuel/12-14.htm">2 Samuel 12:14</a>; also <a href="/psalms/74-10.htm">Psalm 74:10, 18</a> <a href="/isaiah/52-5.htm">Isaiah 52:5</a>; compare <a href="/ezekiel/35-12.htm">Ezekiel 35:12</a> <a href="/2_kings/19-3.htm">2 Kings 19:3</a> the King James Version; <a href="/isaiah/37-3.htm">Isaiah 37:3</a>). (2) In the New Testament blasphemy, substantive and vb., may be (a) of evil-speaking generally, (<a href="/acts/13-45.htm">Acts 13:45</a>; <a href="/acts/18-6.htm">Acts 18:6</a>); The Jews contradicted Paul "and blasphemed," the Revised Version, margin "railed." (So in the King James Version of <a href="/matthew/15-19.htm">Matthew 15:19</a> = <a href="/mark/7-22.htm">Mark 7:22</a> <a href="/colossians/3-8.htm">Colossians 3:8</a>, but in the Revised Version (British and American) "railings"; <a href="/revelation/2-9.htm">Revelation 2:9</a> the Revised Version, margin "reviling"; so perhaps in <a href="/1_timothy/1-20.htm">1 Timothy 1:20</a>; or Hymeneus and Alexander may have blasphemed Christ by professing faith and living unworthily of it.) (b) Speaking against a heathen goddess: the town clerk of Ephesus repels the charge that Paul and his companions were blasphemers of Diana (<a href="/acts/19-37.htm">Acts 19:37</a>). (c) Against God: (i) uttering impious words (<a href="/revelation/13-1.htm">Revelation 13:1, 5, 6</a>; <a href="/revelation/16-9.htm">Revelation 16:9, 11, 21</a>; 17:3); (ii) unworthy conduct of Jews (<a href="/romans/2-24.htm">Romans 2:24</a>) and Christians (<a href="/1_timothy/6-1.htm">1 Timothy 6:1</a> <a href="/titus/2-5.htm">Titus 2:5</a>, and perhaps <a href="/1_timothy/1-20.htm">1 Timothy 1:20</a>); (iii) of Jesus Christ, alleged to be usurping the authority of God (<a href="/matthew/9-3.htm">Matthew 9:3</a> = <a href="/mark/2-7.htm">Mark 2:7</a> = <a href="/luke/5-21.htm">Luke 5:21</a>), claiming to be the Messiah, the son of God (<a href="/matthew/26-65.htm">Matthew 26:65</a> = <a href="/mark/14-64.htm">Mark 14:64</a>), or making Himself God (<a href="/john/10-33.htm">John 10:33, 36</a>). (d) Against Jesus Christ: Saul strove to make the Christians he persecuted blaspheme their Lord (<a href="/acts/26-11.htm">Acts 26:11</a>). So was he himself a blasphemer (<a href="/1_timothy/1-13.htm">1 Timothy 1:13</a>; compare <a href="/james/2-7.htm">James 2:7</a>). The Unpardonable Sin: (3) Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit: "Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever shall speak against the Holy of Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in that which is to come" (<a href="/matthew/12-31.htm">Matthew 12:31, 32</a> = <a href="/mark/3-28.htm">Mark 3:28, 29</a> <a href="/luke/12-10.htm">Luke 12:10</a>). As in the Old Testament "to sin with a high hand" and to blaspheme the name of God incurred the death penalty, so the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit remains the one unpardonable sin. These passages at least imply beyond cavil the personality of the Holy Spirit, for sin and blasphemy can only be committed against persons. In Matthew and Mark a particular case of this blasphemy is the allegation of the Pharisees that Jesus Christ casts out devils by Beelzebub. The general idea is that to attribute to an evil source acts which are clearly those of the Holy Spirit, to call good evil, is blasphemy against the Spirit, and sin that will not be pardoned. "A distinction is made between Christ's other acts and those which manifestly reveal the Holy Spirit in Him, and between slander directed against Him personally as He appears in His ordinary acts, and that which is aimed at those acts in which the Spirit is manifest" (Gould, Mark at the place). Luke does not refer to any particular instance, and seems to connect it with the denial of Christ, although he, too, gives the saying that "who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven." But which of Christ's acts are not acts the Holy Spirit, and how therefore is a word spoken against Him not also blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? John identifies the Holy Spirit with the exalted Christ (<a href="/john/14-16.htm">John 14:16-18, 26, 28</a>). The solution generally offered of this most difficult problem is concisely put by Plummer (Luke ad loc.): "Constant and consummate opposition to the influence of the Holy Spirit, because of a deliberate preference of darkness to light, render repentance and therefore forgiveness morally impossible." A similar idea is taught in <a href="/hebrews/6-4.htm">Hebrews 6:4-6</a>, and <a href="/1_john/5-16.htm">1 John 5:16</a>: "A sin unto death." But the natural meaning of Christ's words implies an inability or unwillingness to forgive on the Divine side rather than inability to repent in man. Anyhow the abandonment of man to eternal condemnation involves the inability and defeat of God. The only alternative seems to be to call the kenotic theory into service, and to put this idea among the human limitations which Christ assumed when He became flesh. It is less difficult to ascribe a limit to Jesus Christ's knowledge than to God's saving grace (<a href="/mark/13-32.htm">Mark 13:32</a>; compare <a href="/john/16-12.htm">John 16:12, 13</a>). It is also noteworthy that in other respects, at least, Christ acquiesced in the view of the Holy Spirit which He found among His contemporaries. See <a href="../h/holy.htm">HOLY SPIRIT</a>. T.
