One of the largest and most destructive enemies within the Church of Jesus Christ is the gossip and backbiting.
Many Christians fall into the evil that comes from hell, this message confronted much your life and mine comparison. No one is exempt from falling into this evil, "Well, we all fall down many times. If one does not fall to speak, that is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body. " James 3:2 (Jerusalem Bible, NBJ)
God hates gossip and the Bible is great judgments and consequences of gossip, then study in depth what is gossip and what this case.
What is gossip?
The gossip is to have information or news about someone in order to destroy or damage, whether true or false.
is rooted in the Hebrew = rachilla criticizing, who travels everywhere / slanderer, gossip, gossip, gossip, gossip.
Gossip is information that travels from ear to ear, travels as fast as telecommunications, gossip has the property which increases the information content as it passes by word of mouth, gossip destroys everything in its path, leaving victims, and often the harm is irreparable (unless Jesus heals the heart of the injured person)
"The same goes for the tongue is a very small part of the body, but is able to speak with arrogance things that irritate. What can burn wood so large because a small fire! And the tongue is a fire. It is a world of evil placed in our body, which contaminates the whole person. Is ignited by hell itself, and in turn inflames the entire course of life. " James 3:5-6 (NIV)
The tongue is a very small but harmful, as it may kindle strife, may irritate people, can damage more than the blows with his bare hands.
"but no man can tame the tongue, which is an evil that can not be restrained, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the likeness of God. From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. " James 3:8-10
Our language is full of poison and no one can tame, this member damage with ease and is one of the factors why many Christians lose their testimony before unbelievers.
Gossip in the congregation
"Do not go spreading slander among your people, and expose the life of your neighbor with false testimony. I am the Lord. "Leviticus 19:16
In small churches is very common to have problems such as the gossip goes from the pastor or the leaders until the sheep, they all realize everything. There is no reliability. All fall into this evil, often the same people pride, jealousy and selfish desires of power or ecclesiastical authority to criticize or take them mutter one who does not think like them. There are times when even the pastors end up talking and muttering about the sheep that actually have a genuine love for God and want to do things according to the word. And there are other occasions that the sheep talking about their leaders or pastors of sheer immaturity and desire for what God is doing through spiritual guides. Satan wins
incredible amount of land when the sons of God whispering to each other and slander or libel. People who like to gossip do so for various reasons, to scale positions to try to look like people who "really care about the Church" for envy, to create groups that support them (they need feel influential).
The biggest problem of gossip is that it starts as "constructive criticism" and ends in libel and slander smearing reputations with the excuse that it is just to point out "sins" for the welfare of the congregation. The problem is that these people, who usually are "the most holy of the church" have a mind of sinful and sin always see what others are doing, but never see the of themselves or the people that make the game and go along.
The 2 main causes of gossip and backbiting within the church are:
1) Pride and arrogance spiritual there is very common because of the authoritarian church, in which the pastor or leadership positions are considered special about the call that God has done and is unquestionable and state authorities began to criticize and even to slander those who think differently to them, question them, or to inquire too much writing. In this case reaches the point where the leadership sees this type of sheep as competition, see him as someone who wants to split the herd and start to smear the rest of the leadership, or begin to murmur about the intentions of it.
2) Immaturity of the flock: This is when the sheep are immature and have little knowledge of the Bible and do not understand why de la reprensión o disciplina y se enojan contra el guía de Dios que la está corrigiendo para su crecimiento espiritual. Estas ovejas comienzan a murmurar sobre el pastor y a difamar las intenciones del mismo y comienzan a regar calumnias entre la congregación, volviéndose de esta manera peligro y división para el rebaño, muchas veces este tipo de creyentes sino cambian su comportamiento terminan “heridos” por el liderazgo y se van de las congregaciones hablando mal del liderazgo.
¿Que provoca el chisme?
Desconfiabilidad: la persona chismosa se vuelve desconfiable ya que nunca puede callar las cosas, todo lo cuenta, entonces la People do not want to entrust their secrets or intimacies, because sooner or later everyone will know the shame of the person. "A gossip reveals secrets; the fair spirit is wise." Proverbs 11:13 (BA)
Enmity: the words of a gossip seem soft and good, but enter and damage to the depths of human beings, causing enmity. "The words of gossip are like choice morsels, and penetrate into the depths."

Va leaving people hurt, hatred, resentment, anger, depression, etc. "false torments Language that has hurt, and slip a flattering mouth works." Proverbs 26:28

Mary and Aaron murmur of Moses and God was angry with them and got leprosy all over his body because they spoke against Moses for marrying a bold woman, and Moses spoke face to face with God and God came out in defense of the honor of being his servant Moses chosen (see Number Cap. 12 )
The gossip is always saying bad things, never satisfied with anything, all criticism, nothing seems, is always against everything, always look bad before the good, all is looking for flaws, is a perfectionist and when things do not go as expected, then whispers and criticism. The gossip is often easier to move the language that the arms (to work).

As children of God ought not to defame anyone, apart from your mouth every lie of the enemy and not attack the body of Christ, the church is his bride, does not violate your words, because God himself will come out in defense of their own, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay saith the Lord "
