Gossip can destroy trust, sow division, and hurt the spirit of a community. The Bible warns us not to be “busybodies” or “talebearers” (Proverbs 20:19, 1 Timothy 5:13).

If a church community is full of gossipers, those who spread private matters, stir up drama, or speak on things they don’t truly know, is this in line with Scripture?

No — gossip clearly goes against the Word.

Yes — it’s human nature, we all fall short.

Prov 6:16-19: 6 things YAH hates, and 7 is an abomination: lying, feet to mischief, a lying tongue, a person who stirs strife, all of which fall under the category of things YAH hates. Here is the thing, it does not matter whether it is within fellowship, at the job, at home etc, the location does not matter; however, the elder within the fellowship needs to take action to remove the leaven, since a bit of leaven leavens the whole lump. It starts with a meeting with the person and/or witnesses to address the situation in love and show him/her the error of his/her ways. Coming out of the filth of Babylon, the offender may not be cognizant of this, so there is grace, and it should be handled in confidence. This is typically a tough one for Yashar'el
