Lashon Hara
I would like to bring attention to the issue of our speech. It seems there are cases where we openly attack other believers in the Messiah. Be they called Christians, Messianic Jews, Messianic Believers, Believers, we should not make disparaging comments about what they are called, we should not take pot shots as to their faith.
The most common, and perhaps the most serious speech problem is lashon hara, literally, “evil talk.”
