What does it mean to blaspheme?

Thomas R. Valletta

Blasphemy “generally denotes contemptuous speech concerning God or concerning something that stands in a sacred relation toward God, such as His temple, His law, or His prophet. … The punishment for willful and intentional blasphemy was death by stoning (Lev. 24:11–16; John 10:31–33; Acts 7:58)” (LDS Bible Dictionary, “Blasphemy,” 608).
