Blasphemy:

In the sense of speaking evil of God this word is found in Ps. 74:18; Isa 52:5; Rom 2:24; Rev 13:1, 6; 16:9, 11, 21. It denotes also any kind of calumny, or evil-speaking, or abuse (1Ki 21:10; Act 13:45; 18:6, etc.). Our Lord was accused of blasphemy when he claimed to be the Son of God (Mat 26:65; Mat 9:3; Mar 2:7). They who deny his Messiahship blaspheme Jesus (Luk 22:65; Jhn 10:36).

Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost (Mat 12:31,32; Mar 3:28,29; Luk 12:10) is regarded by some as a continued and obstinate rejection of the gospel, and hence is an unpardonable sin, simply because as long as a sinner remains in unbelief he voluntarily excludes himself from pardon. 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.
