Yeah I seriously doubt this writer knows what blasphemy is. He apparently regards ANY criticism of him to be “hate emails” which tells us know thin skinned he is. This is another example that we often see from the celebrity media where they seem to know just enough about the Bibel to be dangerous.
But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them, (2 Timothy 2:12-14)
“Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.
“Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew 5:11-12
“If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.
“If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.
“Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.
“But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know the One who sent Me. (John 15:18-21)
Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you. (1 John 3:13)
Who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good?
But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled,
but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;
and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame.
For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong. (1Peter 3:13-17)
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,
knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. (James 1:2-4)
The reality is this: it does not matter if you are a star NFL player or a person on the lowest rung of society's ladder. If you have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and believed upon Him; if you are living for Christ and sharing your faith... God's Word is clear: you will be a target of Satan's attacks and you will be persecuted and attacked by "the world": those who are lost and controled by Satan and the Satanic world system which hates the Lord Jesus Christ and ALL OF THOSE WHO BELONG TO Him: See Ephesians 2:1-2
