I wonder if there is a scripture though that would oppose slander?
You shall not bare false witness?
Exodus 23:1
“You
shall not circulate a false report.
Do not put your hand with the wicked to
be an unrighteous witness.
Deuteronomy 19:16
If a
false witness rises
against any man to
testify against him of wrongdoing, [SUP]
17 [/SUP]then
both men in the controversy shall stand before the Lord, before the priests and the judges who serve in those days. [SUP]
18 [/SUP]And the judges shall make careful inquiry, and
indeed, if the witness is a false witness, who has testified falsely against his brother, [SUP]
19 [/SUP]
then you shall do to him as he thought to have done to his brother; so you shall put away the evil from among you.
Proverbs 6:
A worthless person, a wicked man, Walks with a perverse mouth; [SUP]
13 [/SUP]He winks with his eyes, He shuffles his feet, He points with his fingers; [SUP]
14 [/SUP]Perversity
is in his heart, He devises evil continually,
He sows discord.
[SUP]
15 [/SUP]Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly; Suddenly he shall be broken without remedy. [SUP]
16 [/SUP]
These six things the Lord hates,Yes, seven
are an abomination to Him:
[SUP]
17 [/SUP]A proud look,
A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, [SUP]
18 [/SUP]A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, [SUP]
19 [/SUP]
A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren.
Proverbs 12:17
He
who speaks truth declares righteousness,
But a false witness, deceit.
Matthew 15:19
For
out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts,
false witness, blasphemies.
2 Timothy 3:
3 But know this,
that in the last days perilous times will come: [SUP]
2 [/SUP]For
men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, [SUP]
3 [/SUP]unloving, unforgiving,
slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, [SUP]
4 [/SUP]traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, [SUP]
5 [/SUP]having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! [SUP]
6 [/SUP]For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, [SUP]
7 [/SUP]always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
