What Does The Bible Say About Slander?
This is an essay that ask one good question. What does the Bible say about slander? What is the definition of the word slander? Slander is make false and damaging statements about (someone). The action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person’s reputation. However, there is one particular Bible verse that has a whole lot to do with slander. Psalms 73:9 says: They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. This means when people talk about you, it spreads throughout the community, internet, social media, school, or neighborhood.
When it comes to the Bible, we are supposed to avoid foolish talk and empty philosophies. 1st Timothy 6:4 says: He is proud knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, where if cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings. You know what this means, we have to pray for those who are our enemies. We must keep our friends close and our enemies closer. I know that this is very difficult for some people to accomplish on their own. Therefore, we have to be mindful of other people at all times. To be honest with everyone, I realize that my problem stems from my past. For Example, the people that I have affiliated with were bad.
Slander hurts both the victim and the perpetrators themselves. Titus 1:10-11 Says: (10) for there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision: (11) whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake. This means that we cannot affiliate with the ungodly in any way; especially those people who are vain talkers and deceivers. This also goes for false prophets. As I recall, I was a victim of malicious slander and fraud growing up in my own hometown of Dayton, Ohio. I was hurt really bad because the people who I thought were my friends were using me.
To be honest, both people are hurt by these false accusations. Titus3:2 says as follows: To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. We must learn how to be polite in our expressions to one another. Titus 3:3 says: For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceiving, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice, and envy. We were hateful and hating one another. I can truly can identify with Titus 3:3 because I was living in sin. I was living inside of the world, and doing the things of the world. I also used to be selfish and bitter by nature. Through prayer from others and being admonished in a positive matter by others. I have changed my ways.
Hebrews 8:11 says: And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother saying, know the Lord: For all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. Everyone will know the Lord. This is because He is a righteous Judge. I am very happy that I have Him as my personal Savior. Titus 3:9 says: But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law: For they are unprofitable and vain. We must avoid anything that is not of God. There are false prophets that are inside of the world deceiving others that are in the faith. We must test the Spirits to see whether or not they are of God.
