Many wicked people today looking for places of gossip, slander and destroying good people's reputations, dead and alive either by defaming the character of others either on-line or somewhere on the internet or any media with their false statements on web site, blog posts or through comment those who are walking rightly. We all of us have often been deeply hurt by some people, friends and relationships at some point of our life when they have attempted to use free of speech or freedom of speech to destroy us either by slandering or gossiping in their hatred . Proverbs 10:18 says that He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.” Such hateful people attack, degrade and bring into question the character of Godly people. They get the pleasure to slander our good name and say all manner of evil things against us and thereby destroy our valuable credibility by fabricating every malicious lie. Their intention is to harass and ruin the good reputation the person has. Even after that person is dead and gone, the slanderous information will forever be stored on the internet, circulating for people to read. Whether the allegation are true or false doesn't matter, because people will never stop looking down or insulting for the rest of your life.
These are the people who are habitually malicious slanderers, who do not know God, who do not obey and follow his commandments and are blinded by their own self-righteousness, pride and have failed to acknowledge their own sins and faults and do not posses a transformed nature in Christ, do not have certainly a new creation in Christ Jesus rather they have evil nature of the evil one. .They are attempting to publicly justify their wickedness and maliciously plotting against the righteous waiting to destroy their name, assassinate their character and discredit their work for God, spread rumors. God’s word says in Ecclesiastes 9:18 that one sinner destroys much good, and the most effective means of destroying someone is with slander.
God sees everything and will punish the hypocrites who condemn the righteous, while overlooking the sins of the wicked (Romans 12:19).
Because of many such wicked hatred malicious people, millions of lives have been destroyed. many families are in trouble, there is a broken families and relationships, there is anger, there is persecution, many marriages have broken and people have been separated, divorced etc and some may have even committed suicide. . leaving deep scarring wounds in the soul of the one slandered, in every dimension of life.
Gods word says that Satan is called the accuser of our brethren (Revelation 12:10). It is characteristic of those children of Satan, those who are driven, guided...as Paul says in Ephesians 2...by the prince of the power of the air, whose lives are dominated by the rulers of darkness. Those are the people who lie and slander. It is spawned then by Satan in the wicked hearts of sinners whose character it reveals. It is released through hate. Jesus, it says, "They hated Me without a cause." And behind the hate is there is the envy...behind the hate there is jealousy and behind wicked heart, there is proudness and self-righteousness. In Romans 1:30 it describes the unregenerate, ungodly world as backbiters...haters of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things.
It is a sin to assassinate a person's character behind their back. Defaming someone’s character can result in civil lawsuit. Most harmful slander is done under the pretense of good intentions. God wants us to stand up against the evildoers (Psalm 94:16). We need to place the difficult into God's hands for judgment. And he says, "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, theft, false witness, blasphemies." They come out of the heart.
These are the characters of the wicked people in scriptures: They are the lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good, traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof. They Creep into houses, and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Their feet that are quick to rush into evil and delight in the very things God warns against and for which He threatens judgment and wrath. They slay those whose ways are upright. The wicked person watches the righteous person and seeks to kill him. turn the grace of our God into lewdness They Will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy. They will not endure sound doctrine instead, to suit their own desires; they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. They call evil good and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness. God says Wicked shall not prevail.
