"Thou shalt not slander, a clever trap many of us fall into"


Many of us read quite a bit. We take in all sorts information. It seems many of us Christians fall into a trap of studying to such a degree that we ignore the witnessing and the reaching out to the neighbors thing. This tends to make us dry, which then leads to certain behaviors that are really not the fruit of the spirit. From our learning we can become isolated and suspicious of others who do not hold our opinion, suspicion and being too judgmental follow etc.
In this situation we are susceptible to bad information, much like gossip. We will certainly find someone who had written things that uphold our suspicions. We read them and incorporate the things they speak of without doing an ounce of research to see if these people are reputable.
 
I have found recently that there certainly are publications that are based on totaly dishonest information in the Christian realm. Organizations like CRI, Christian research international, do their best to try to dispel wrong teaching but it seems that the wicked part of us craves these things and they continue to be put out even though confronted with error.
 
If you find some christian information or exposing that you find interesting please do a little research before you pass it on. The Holy spirit always tries to give us a check in the spirit re these things. You may fall into the sin of slander if you do not.
