Show Sin of Blasphemy. What is blasphemy? Blasphemy is an act or word that insults and outrages out-rages the divine majesty of God. Theologians The-ologians consider it as one of the greatest great-est sins because it attacks the majesty of the great God Himself, the God of might, before whom the earth trembles trem-bles and melts as wax before the fire, the great God who holds the universe in the hollow of His palm, the one. only God whose holy name we insult and outrage. Fulhermore, it is a senseless sin. In drunkenness there is the exhilaration of drink, in debauchery debauch-ery the foul passions are gratified in the pleasure they seek, but blasphemy calls on God's name, insults Him in the most senseless and awlul manner, for in blasphemy we use the language of hell. When a person speaks Spanish we say he is a Spaniard, when he speaks Italian we say he is an Italian, but when a man blasphemes he is ri devil because he speaks the language of hell.
