Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things which the Lord hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil, A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers. Proverbs 26:22-26 The words of a whisperer are like dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts of the body. Like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross Are burning lips and a wicked heart. He who hates disguises it with his lips, But he lays up deceit in his heart. When he speaks graciously, do not believe him, For there are seven abominations in his heart. Though his hatred covers itself with guile, His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.
Hello I was on a walk today with my son and we met a stranger who was okay to begin with but then he became not very nice. It bothered both my son and myself and we spoke about it, I then went home and told my husband because we were asked about if we enjoyed our walk so I told him about how the man was not nice with us....Is this gossiping? I am a little confused because how can you tell your loved ones anything if you can not share information about some one if they upset you.
That wouldn't be categorized as gossip. If you added extra information, such as "I think he drinks and beats his wife," would be considered gossip. The man may have, just, lost someone close to him, which caused him to act outside of himself. But adding that you believe he beats his wife, bcuz you may have smelled alcohol on him, would be wrong. He is the truth and the way.
@@jaysaget1280 Thank you, no I never added anything I only spoke the truth, I am still learning about how inportant it is too watch out speech and even our thoughts I am grateful for your reply, keep safe..........with love
While gossip is sinful, I don't believe "gossip to be the worst of all abominations." There are things much worse, such as false teaching in the church. Word of Faith and the "Prosperity Gospel" are much more destructive than gossip (typically), as these bring spiritual damage.
You are talking about another subject all together. What you are talking about, is a direct perversion of God's Word. The seven abominations are against fellow man. Gossiping is against fellow man. Matthew 22 verses 36-40(I think), has Jesus saying that all the law hangs on 2 commandments. Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind. And love your neighbor as thy self. That is all you need to do to walk the straight and narrow path that God laid out for us. But you are right, loving God and obeying his righteous Word, is most important. For there is no forgiveness to someone who knew God first and then denied Him as God.
Agreed. Kudos! However, alot of people are reading other abominations mentioned in the bible such as homosexuality, eating shrimp etc.. and thinking that holds above what you just mentioned or the ten commandments. What are your thoughts on that?
I think it would be Idol worshipping you know like all the idols the graven images in the crosses. that are hung in all the churches that God spoke against these things throughout the Bible
Ezekiel 18:12 ► Parallel Verses King James Version Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,
That wouldn't be considered gossip. If one knows a person is attractive, that is that person's truth and business. But saying that the "attractive" person is only attractive bcuz that person wears makeup or had surgery done, is gossip. Unless that person told you that, and is open to letting anyone know about it.
Gossip is the worst abomination. Amen!
Proverbs 6:16-19
There are six things which the Lord hates,
Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:
Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that run rapidly to evil,
A false witness who utters lies,
And one who spreads strife among brothers.
Proverbs 26:22-26
The words of a whisperer are like dainty morsels,
And they go down into the innermost parts of the body.
Like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross
Are burning lips and a wicked heart.
He who hates disguises it with his lips,
But he lays up deceit in his heart.
When he speaks graciously, do not believe him,
For there are seven abominations in his heart.
Though his hatred covers itself with guile,
His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.
all seven abominations are in the heart of a gossip
Very enlightening. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this crucial information.
thank for the infomation brother!
amen brother
Forgive me for I am guilty of this. I will repent from this.
Amen and Amen.

Did I say gossip was not sinful? A re-read might be in order.
Maybe in your perspective and from a human mind but the Bible says all sins are equal in the eyes of god
Agreed. Kudos! However, alot of people are reading other abominations mentioned in the bible such as homosexuality, eating shrimp etc.. and thinking that holds above what you just mentioned or the ten commandments. What are your thoughts on that?
God's standards are high. It takes a work of the Holy Spirit to help us clean up our mouths and lifestyles. It is always a yielding to the Lord.
I think it would be Idol worshipping you know like all the idols the graven images in the crosses. that are hung in all the churches that God spoke against these things throughout the Bible
Ezekiel 18:12 ►
Parallel Verses
King James Version
Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,
If you oppress the poor you have committed a abomnation
So is positive gossip bad like calling them handsome or pretty or is it only bad gossip
That wouldn't be considered gossip. If one knows a person is attractive, that is that person's truth and business. But saying that the "attractive" person is only attractive bcuz that person wears makeup or had surgery done, is gossip. Unless that person told you that, and is open to letting anyone know about it.
The worst sin is to associate with someone that is different from you and an unbeliever. An unbeliever will lead you away from Christ.
Sandy Smith Actually, I'm an unbeliever and I will never push atheism on you, except for christians who suck off Jesus all the time
