what is blasphemy?

Question

Pakistan has "blasphemy" laws against anyone who spread Christianity. Tell what are the words Christians say that may be illegal in Pakistan.

Answer 1

If you want to find blasphemy, just look at the world around you. Blasphemy is in every budding tree, in every laughing child's smile. It is in every songbird's song and in every flowing river. Blasphemy is what brought you into this world.

We should spread the love of blasphemy to those less fortunate than us. Not doing so would be...

...blasphemous.

Answer 2

Actually Blasphemy laws in pakistan govern the behavior of people regarding Islamic beliefs.
If anyone INSULTS Islamic figures in public with the intent of striking hatred, it is considered disrespectful - it has nothing to do with Christianity or Judaism.
Cheers & God bless.

Answer 3

Hi bebeluv R. The Bible teaches us that blasphemy is declaring Satan sent Jesus Christ and that blasphemy is the only sin that will not be forgiven. In Mark 3:22 God tells us:

"And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebub,” and, “By the ruler of the demons He casts out demons.”

They were convinced the power Jesus used to cast out devils and heal people came from Satan himself. Christ teaches us more about the unpardonable sin of blasphemy in Matthew 12:32:

"...it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."

Now, a person has to do more than just say Jesus was sent by Satan to commit blasphemy. That person truly has to believe it. The fact that a person is worried about committing blasphemy is a sign that you have not committed blasphemy.

Blasphemy is the defamation of the name of one or more Gods. These may include using sacred names as stress expletives without intention to pray or speak of sacred matters. Sometimes blasphemy is used loosely to mean any profane language,

In a broader sense, blasphemy is irreverence toward something considered sacred or inviolable.

Answer 7

Remind them of these words and say unto them: 'Verily did the Pharisees rise up against Messiah, despite the bright beauty of His face and all His comeliness, and they cried out that He was not Messiah [Masih] but a monster [Masikh], because He had claimed to be Almighty God, the sovereign Lord of all, and told them, 'I am God's Son, and verily in the inmost being of His only Son, His mighty Ward, clearly revealed with all His attributes, all His perfections, standeth the Father.' This, they said, was open blasphemy and slander against the Lord according to the clear and irrefutable texts of the Old Testament. Therefore they passed the sentence upon Him, decreeing that His blood be shed, and they hanged Him on the cross, where He cried out, 'O My beloved Lord, how long wilt Thou abandon Me to them? Lift Me up unto Thee, shelter Me close to Thee, make Me a dwelling by Thy throne of glory. Verily art Thou the Answerer of prayers, and Thou art the Clement, the Merciful. O My Lord! Verily this world with all its vastness can no longer contain Me, and I love this cross, out of love for Thy beauty, and yearning for Thy realm on high, and because of this fire, fanned by the gusts of Thy holiness, aflame within My heart. Help me, O Lord, to ascend unto Thee, sustain Me that I may reach unto Thy sacred Threshold, O My loving Lord! Verily Thou art the Merciful, the Possessor of great bounty! Verily Thou art the Generous! Verily Thou art the Compassionate! Verily Thou art the All-Knowing! There is none other God save Thee, the Mighty, the Powerful!'

Never would the Pharisees have been emboldened to calumniate Him and charge Him with that grievous sin, but for their ignorance of the inner core of mysteries and the fact that they paid no heed to His splendours and regarded not His proofs. Else would they have acknowledged His words, and borne witness to the verses He revealed, confessed the truth of His utterances, sought shelter under the protective shadow of His banner, learned of His signs and tokens, and rejoiced in His blissful tidings.

Know thou that the Divine Essence, which is called the Invisible of the Invisibles, never to be described, beyond the reach of mind -- is sanctified above any mention, any definition or hint or allusion, any acclamation or praise. In the sense that It is that It is, the intellect can never grasp It, and the soul seeking knowledge of It is but a wanderer in the desert, and far astray. 'No vision taketh in Him, but He taketh in all vision: He is the Subtile, the All-Informed.'

When, however, thou dost contemplate the innermost essence of all things, and the individuality of each, thou wilt behold the signs of thy Lord's mercy in every created thing, and see the spreading rays of His Names and Attributes throughout all the realm of being, with evidences which none will deny save the froward and the unaware. Then wilt thou observe that the universe is a scroll that discloseth His hidden secrets, which are preserved in the well-guarded Tablet. And not an atom of all the atoms in existence, not a creature from amongst the creatures but speaketh His praise and telleth of His attributes and names, revealeth the glory of His might and guideth to His oneness and His mercy: and none will gainsay this who hath ears to hear, eyes to see, and a mind that is sound.

(Abdu'l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, p. 39)
