Blasphemy is the defaming of the name of God.
Judaism in the Old Testament states the following about blasphemy:
Those who speak blasphemy "shall surely be put to death". (Leviticus 24:16)
Christianity also mentions blasphemy in the New Testament
But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin. (Mark 3:29)
In context, this is considered to be attritubing the works of God to Satan. The teachers of the law acknowledged that Jesus was curing people of evil spirits, but then accused Jesus of having the power to drive evil spirits out of people because He Himself was possessed by an evil spirit. (Mark 3:22)
