As regards blasphemy v. false prophets/prophesying:

Hey eveyone, look how 10 continues to try to dance around definitions of words - even digging back to old definitions.

NT Greek - blasphemeo - 1) to speak reproachfully, rail at, revile, calumniate, blaspheme 2) to be evil spoken of, reviled, railed at

Very specific definition not corrupted by progressives

OT Hebrew - barak - 1) to bless, kneel 1a) (Qal)
1a1) to kneel
1a2) to bless
1b) (Niphal) to be blessed, bless oneself
1c) (Piel) to bless
1d) (Pual) to be blessed, be adored
1e) (Hiphil) to cause to kneel
1f) (Hithpael) to bless oneself
2) (TWOT) to praise, salute, curse

also na'ats- 1) to spurn, contemn, despise, abhor
1a) (Qal) to spurn, contemn
1b) (Piel)
1b1) to spurn
1b2) to cause to contemn
1c) (Hiphil) to spurn
1d) (Hithpolel) to be contemned

Again, specific definitions

NT False Prophet - pseudoprophetes - 1) one who, acting the part of a divinely inspired prophet, utters falsehoods under the name of divine prophecies 2) a false prophet

Again - specific definitions for specific offenses. Being accused of blaspheme does not equate one to being charged of false prophecy

******* Nothing could be more blasphemous than pretending to be a messenger/prophet of God. Clearly the Devil appearing as an angel of light (2 Cor 11:14) is both false and blasphemous. False prophecy is blasphemy by definition.

Great definition of smith.

I think we have a case of someone thinking they are playing a little game and trying to show off superior knowledge...not anything we haven't seen dozens of times before. Just another apologist throwing a bunch of stuff at the wall to see what will stick....and looking ridiculous in the process.

call to action revised
