Summary: Gossip and lies have existed since ancient times, and they are related. We often speak more than we listen, which leads us to err and complicate our lives. Rumors can quickly spiral out of control and become dangerous. Our tongues can be like a fire that contaminates and destroys. Instead, let us be allies of Jesus and avoid judging others. Beware, judges will one day be judged.
Gossip has existed since ancient times, 37 times the word appears in the Bible, gossip appears 5 times, lies are mentioned 145 times and 57 times false witnesses are mentioned, in short, all these things are related.
God gave us two ears and a single mouth so that we speak half of what we are capable of hearing but we seem to have understood it the other way around, in most cases we are not good at listening and we speak more than we should . It is for this reason that we err so frequently and far from achieving blessings, we enlist in a sequence of situations that complicate our lives and in this way we lose credibility not only as Christians, but also as people.
There is a game called "The Theory of Rumor" people make a chorus and the first one says a message to the one next to him in the ear. This is how the message is passed in secret on a chain. When the message reaches the last person, they have to say it out loud and the interesting thing is that it is nothing like what was sent.
James 3.6 tells us “And the tongue is a fire, a world of evil. The tongue is placed between our members, and it contaminates the whole body, and inflames the wheel of creation, and it itself is inflamed by hell. "
In our life it also happens this way, when we start to roll a rumor, everyone puts a little of their harvest on it until nothing remains of the initial truth and this is very dangerous, with a rumor a life is rarely blessed, the usual is that it is destroyed.
Let's not get involved with Satan, he is always looking for allies because he is left alone. May your tongue and your ear be allies of Jesus “Brothers, do not murmur one to another. He who murmurs about his brother and judges his brother, murmurs about the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge ”James 4.11
Beware "Judges", one day they will be judged.
