I was thinking about the word "gossip" and just looked in Titus 2:3 for the greek word. I had forgotten that the word used there in original language was "diabolos." Basically, the word dia ballo in greek means to throw through. This is why satan is referred to as the accuser of the brethren. He is an accuser/ a slanderer,if you will, of the saints. Why would I want to help satan's cause by slandering anyone ?
I was stunned by this realization that when I slander someone, I am in league with the devil.
Wow... this should stop us in our tracks before we gossip again.
