Gossip Sept.8

Gossip

Gossip becomes slander and slander becomes a defamation of another’s personality.

“For I am afraid that when I come . . . I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder.” [2Cor.12:20, NIV].

Someone said there were three types of slander or gossip:

1.   Shirt button type---always popping off.

2.   Vacuum cleaner---always picking up dirt.

3.   Ointment type---always rubbing something in.

I think Apostle Paul would call these;

1.   Quarreling---popping off.

2.   Slander/gossip---picking up dirt.

3.   Jealousy---rubbing it in.
