We like to pretty-up talking about others by
calling it "gossip", or worse yet a "prayer request". Sometimes,
however, the words spoken are really slander. But don't just point the
finger at the one speaking... this sin takes two: one to speak, and one
to hear.
slander: the action or crime of making a false
spoken statement damaging to a person's reputation; make false and
malicious statements about (someone) (aka: libel, defamation, backbite)
Ecclesiastes 7:21-22 Also take no heed unto all words
that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee: 22 For
oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast
cursed others.
