1“You shall not spread a false report. Do not join the wicked by being a malicious witness.
2You shall not follow a crowd in wrongdoing. When you testify in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with a crowd. 3And do not show favoritism to a poor man in his lawsuit.
“The inventor and receiver of false and slanderous reports, are almost equally criminal. The word seems to refer to either, and our translators have very properly retained both senses.” (Clarke)
Deuteronomy 19:15 A lone witness is not sufficient to establish any wrongdoing or sin against a man, regardless of what offense he may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.
False reports are sinful to listen to. Ask this question to the person relaying the information. Do I have “the need to know”? And if they continue ask for proof. If they have none, tell them they are spreading a false report and gossiping! The Lord hates gossip!
But if you don’t want to confront them then just walk away!
I’ve turned off the news because of the false and slanderous reports they are spreading about our president. All of them will one day have to stand before the Lord!
God anoints kings and rulers, who are we to judge Him?
Walk away and turn it off, the Lord will bless you for not following the crowd!
Blessings, David
