“Hallowed be your Name” means “May your Name be KEPT holy”. Yeshua the Messiah, Jesus Christ, taught us in the Model prayer that referencing God should always be kept HOLY and never taken lightly.
For those of us who believe in God through His only Son and take the Word of God seriously, blasphemy is a big deal.
To make it simple, blasphemy is…
Elevating humans to God’s level…
Reducing God to human level…
Making God equal to man…
Making idol gods equal to the Lord God of Israel from Everlasting to Everlasting…
Attributing the works of God to the devil…
And, just plain making jokes about or belittling the sovereign God of our creation.
This is why the religious leaders continued to accuse Jesus, the Son of God, of blasphemy…
Luke 5:21 (NIV)
21 The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, “Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”(A)
This is why Jesus warned them when they accused Him of having an unclean spirit…
Mark 3:28-30 (NKJV)
28 “Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter;29 but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation”— 30 because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.”
So when people like the popular radio/television/social media personality Lenard McKelvey calls himself by the name Charlemagne Tha God (it bothers me to even type that)…it is just as offensive as insulting one’s father or mother.
It’s an insult to God’s holiness, reverence and Oneness.
It’s foolishness.
Especially because he chose that moniker it because he was quoted as saying “IT SOUNDED COOL”. I’ve read was raised in a Christian home and now claims to be a Muslim. However, they consider it blasphemy too.
He even has a talk show called THE GOD’S HONEST TRUTH, referring to himself.
So, if he wants to foolishly blaspheme, that’s his business. But, he is provoking others to blaspheme just to address or refer to him.
Call no man or woman god…
Not seriously…
Not for fun…
It may be marketable, but it’s not cool.
No matter how much ego, notoriety, money, influence, intelligence, wisdom or perceived power one may have…
No one who DIES can LIVE up to that claim.
WHY GOD DOES NOT NEED AN ORIGIN STORY…
BE BLESSTIFIED!
