What is your take on gossip???

[Castor Muscular]

So then, are you here to "straighten us out" and get us to "act right"?

Well, somebody has to do it.  We don't have TGL anymore to warn us of the horrors of women's" whos ware paints. 

 

[FreeToBeMe]

Ok..... I'm officially confused

You seem to fancy yourself as an "above average" person, so you'll figure it out.

Thanks for " labeling" me. Very judmental of you, and I feel honored to be tagged by your label. Once agian, you did not answer my question. Is it that hard? I know you struggle at times, but come on man.

 

[FreeToBeMe]

Thanks for not answering my question though

I did answer. You said:

is it just me, or are these forums a breeding ground for back biting and gossip?

And I answered:

It's just you.

No troll here captain poopy pants. I asked a question and a few of you folks answered it (thank you by the way). The problem is, most of you dodged it and have labeled me. You don't even know who I am, yet you think you do.

It is interesting to note that the word "gossip" can not be found in the beloved KJV. That alone should tell you something. The word often used in comparison is "talebearer" or "whisperer". Some modern versions use the word "gossip" and some use the word "slander" to express the same thoughts.

Your point? The KJV isn't the end-all/be-all of Bible translations. Is the idea discussed?

Sure. The discussion is about gossip. Gossip isn't found in the KJV. Many here believe the KJV is the end all be all. It was just my way of making a point. You may ask the question. "What gossip" if you're reading a KJV.

[quote author=christundivided]To really understand "gossip" you must understand the nature of truth. There isn't anything wrong with the truth. Truth brings BRIGHT light to dark places.

Often people confuse the truth with gossip. When they are faced with the truth, instead of own up to the stark realities truth brings, they simply yell. "Gossip".

Gossip is more about motivation than truth. You can say something true and it still be gossip if the point of saying it is to make someone look bad or tear someone down.[/quote]

No its not. Sin makes people look bad. Do we gossip when we expose sin? Do we "gossip" when we tear people down by exposing sin? You're such a loon sometimes.

[quote author=christundivided]Give you an example. Paul when writing to the church at Corinth writes....

1Co 5:1  It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.

He is speaking about reputation here, something that can be based partially upon gossip.
[/quote]

You know no such thing. You don't know who all knew it and Paul hadn't confirmed it. Even so, just because something is widely known.... it doesn't go from "gossip" to "reputation".

How about

1Co 11:18  For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

Is that better for you?

[quote author=christundivided]I am certain that if Paul lived during this present day and wrote such a thing, he would have been accused of entertaining "gossip". Yet, we know he wasn't. What was reported was true. It wasn't gossip.

Again...motivation. And again, gospel can be true... [/quote]

The Gospel is true. Nothing "can be" about it.

[quote author=christundivided]The very nature of gossip reflects the presence of a "lie", "half truths" or fabrications.

No.

[quote author=christundivided]Can the truth ever be considered "gossip"? I don't think so....[/quote]

Then you are wrong.[/quote]

Prove it from the Scriptures. Don't put your 21st century perspective on a thousands of years old writing.

So you are using erroneous logic to argue your point because other people use erroneous logic? That's odd...

[quote author=christundivided][quote author=rsc2a]Gossip is more about motivation than truth. You can say something true and it still be gossip if the point of saying it is to make someone look bad or tear someone down.[/quote]

No its not.[/quote]

Someone else provided a definition...would you like another?

[quote author=christundivided]Sin makes people look bad. Do we gossip when we expose sin?[/quote]

Sometimes.

[quote author=christundivided]Do we "gossip" when we tear people down by exposing sin?[/quote]

Yes.

[quote author=christundivided]You're such a loon sometimes.[/quote]

How Christ-like.  :

Would you like a definition of "reputation" as well?

[quote author=christundivided][quote author=rsc2a]Again...motivation. And again, gospel can be true... [/quote]

The Gospel is true. Nothing "can be" about it. [/quote]

I meant "gossip". It's pretty clear from the context.

You want me to prove the definition of an word in a language that didn't exist "thousands of years" ago using a writing from "thousands of years" ago?
