Gossip ie. "talebearing" in the scriptures, grumbling, complaining, & receiving course talk about anyone is considered destructive to the point that Paul the apostle said such would not inherit the kingdom of heaven. He told us to mark that person and stay away from them. He places such behavior on par with sexual sins such as homosexuality, adultery, and fornication. See 1 Corinthians 6 Gossip is an "anti prophetic" gift. See 1 Corinthians 12. Prophecy is when you give a word that encourages, comforts, and lifts or blesses another. This was encouraged by Paul and he wished that everyone did this rather than speaking in tongues. If what some says to you builds up, lifts up, blesses up receive it. If God gives you a word that builds, that lifts, and blesses give it. If what some says to you tears down, cause growth to stop, is course language and defames or reviles another do not receive it. This gives the enemy the great dragon, and lion walking about a foot hold to come against God's church and to divide the gathering of the saints Christ's bride! See James on the tongue for further knowledge considering the danger of gossip. See Philippians ... whatever is true, lovely good etc... think on these. Gossip makes you focus on the negatives and not on what is good. A culture that promotes this is not just fallen but condemned by all the apostles. James 4:11 Do not speak against one another, brethren. ... Proverbs 20:19 ...Therefore do not associate with a gossip.
