What is your personal definition of the word "blasphemy"?

Answer 1

It's when you are disrespectful of or irreverent to or question the teachings of your own religion. It's not blasphemy, say, when a Muslim challenges or disputes the tenants of Christianity.

Answer 2

This is the anglicized form of the Greek word bla·sphe·mi′a. The Greek term basically means injurious, defamatory, or abusive speech and was used with reference to such speech whether directed against God or against humans. (Compare Re 16:11; Mt 27:39.) The English word “blasphemy,” however, is usually restricted to irreverent or abusive speech against God and sacred things. It is thus the antithesis of words of worship directed to the Divine Being.

Even where there were no spoken expressions against God, one’s actions against the laws of God’s covenant evidently could amount to “speaking abusively of God” or a blaspheming of him. Thus, while merciful consideration was given to the unintentional violator of God’s law, the individual committing deliberate, willful offenses, whether native Israelite or alien resident, was to be put to death as having spoken abusively of Jehovah and as having despised his word and commandment.

Blasphemy includes the act of claiming the attributes or prerogatives of God, or ascribing these to another person or thing.

So, too, since the holy spirit or active force emanates from God and is intimately connected with God’s person, Jesus could speak of “blasphemy against the spirit.” This is stated to be the unforgivable sin. (Mt 12:31; Mr 3:28, 29) Blasphemy is shown to originate within one’s heart (Mt 15:19; Mr 7:21, 22); hence the heart condition, manifest in the willfulness involved, must relate to such blasphemy against the spirit. The incident that led to Jesus’ statement concerning the unpardonableness of such sin demonstrates that it refers to opposing the operation of God’s spirit. This would not be because of deception, human weakness, or imperfection; but the opposition would be willful and deliberate.

Answer 8

Using the word and name of God in politics to get elected President, and then placing policies (like invading Iraq and killing innocent people) that totally go against it.

Answer 9

"Blasphemy" is the appropriation of the attributes or the identity of God to oneself. It's claiming to speak on God's behalf, to be relaying "God's orders", to claim special access to God, to claim "God is on our side". It's a far more common sin among religious and civil leaders than among ordinary folks.

Answer 10

Blasphemy is using abusive, dirty language to defame someone.
