Secret slander is the essence of backbiting, and it is strongly condemned in the Bible. I'm guilty of this, but, I do my best not to do it anymore today. It is something that can be forgiven, if one asks to be forgiven (repents). This is a KJV Bible study guide. Psalm 101:5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. Privily = a cover (in a good or a bad, a literal or a figurative sense):—backbiting, covering, covert, disguise(-th), hiding place, privily, protection, secret(-ly, place). Slandereth = to wag the tongue, i.e. to calumniate:—accuse, slander. Proverbs 25:23 The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue. Proverbs 16:28 A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends. (A whisperer and a backbiter are virtually the same thing). Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Romans 1:29... Romans 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, (etc., etc.). I can remember my Grandmother telling me the following: “if you can't say something good about someone, it is better not to say anything at all.” I believe she was telling me this in reference to the above verses and definitions. If you want to anger God, go ahead, gossip about someone behind their back; spread rumors about them, your choice. I've heard it said, “When a gossiper gossips about one person, that means they're giving someone else a break”! There are many out there that do not like this topic. This topic seems to touch a sore spot. Oh well! Many could benefit from listening to and learning the truth from God's word. Will they listen and learn? Some will, some will not. Their choice. How many actually know that God finds certain things and practices abominable. You could say it another way, He hates them, He detests them. He doesn't hate just to be hateful. There is a reason for such feelings. All of the things He finds abominable and detestable go against His plan, His way, etc. This is a KJV Bible study guide. Abomination: a disgusting thing, abomination, abominable, a foul thing, a detestable thing The website below lists at least 43 things God hates; see what you think. http://livingtheway.org/43things.html Proverbs 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: Proverbs 6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, Proverbs 6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, Proverbs 6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. | |
