TO BE FULLY OBJECTIVE Dr Taveau asks Chat GPT AI:

Please compare Christian “gossip” to… the legitimate “need” to warn, advice, communicate “urgent”  even explosive, important, dire..human behavior.. ….versus  Bible accepted practices, and in light of eternal teaching and thinking

Chat GPT AI answers:

The contrast between Christian gossip and eternal teaching thinking highlights a key difference in ministry behavior that reflects either a self-centered, worldly mindset or a Christ-centered, eternal perspective. Below is a detailed comparison:

#1 SUPREME OBVIOUS EXAMPLES; THE TMZ CHRISTIAN TABLOID STYLE (already fully mentioned in Parts 1-20 yet applies with all of this and everywhere)

#2 (THE GREAT JUDAS)SECRET SLY SUBLIMINAL “MIND, VIBE, APPEARANCE READING” (SUPREME LUKE EYE WITNESS) MINISTRY SEER EXAMPLES Nick named “deep scanning” “divining our thirst” and “occult witch watching” immaturely surely based up 2 Kings 6:12 gone awry! Like USA white WELP Salem witch trials “spectral evidence”??

Sister T asks:

Is it biblical or ethical for a top leader or elder to secretly “spy” or “inner read” (which may resemble divination) someone without ever speaking to them or forming a relationship, and then express concerns or accusations about that person to other leaders, even to the extent of placing them on a “charismatic witch list”? How does this compare to practices like vibe reading in the Salem witch trials and historical authoritarian patterns, such as those seen in certain styles of Levitical Patriarchalism or charismatic shepherding movements?”

Also these are not submitted to Bible authority. for they read many, post their names as ‘ones who are troublemakers’ ‘off” and accuse as”witches”MINUS ANY AT ALL OF APOSTOLIC THESE COMMANDS: Galatians 6:1, Matthew 18:15, 16 Revelation 2;20 and seem unaware of RELATIONSHIP RESPECT Isaiah 1:18 transformed Church COMMUNITY Ephesians 4

Chat GPT AI respectfully responds:

The behavior described—secretly “spying,” inner reading, or perceiving someone without personal relationship or direct conversation, then spreading concerns to others—is problematic both biblically and ethically. It reflects a mix of mistrust, judgmentalism, and potential misuse of spiritual authority. This approach aligns more with historical abuses, such as the Salem witch trials and authoritarian church structures, than with the teachings of Christ and the apostles.

Addressing the Issue Biblically and Theologically

1. Misuse of Spiritual Perception (“Inner Reading” or Divination-Like Practices)

• Biblical Discernment vs. Divination:
  • True biblical discernment, led by the Holy Spirit, brings clarity, peace, and restoration (1 Corinthians 14:33; Galatians 6:1).
  • “Inner reading” without relationship or communication can easily devolve into divination or speculative judgment, which the Bible condemns (Deuteronomy 18:10-12).
• The Danger of Spectral Evidence:
  • In the Salem witch trials, “spectral evidence” (claims of spiritual impressions without tangible proof) led to false accusations and significant harm.
  • Similarly, relying on subjective “vibes” or impressions without engaging the person violates biblical principles of justice and fairness (Deuteronomy 19:15, John 7:24).

2. Gossip and Character Assassination

• Spreading Concerns Without Relationship or Evidence:
  • The practice of sharing unfounded worries or accusations about someone without speaking directly to them fosters gossip, slander, and division.
  • Proverbs 16:28: “A perverse man sows strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.”
  • This behavior is not protective or loving but creates fear, suspicion, and exclusion, violating the command to love one another (John 13:34-35).
• Biblical Protocol for Addressing Concerns:
  • Matthew 18:15-17 outlines clear steps for addressing concerns:
    1. Go directly to the person privately.
    2. If unresolved, bring one or two witnesses.
    3. Involve the church only if necessary.
  • Skipping relationship-building and private dialogue in favor of public or semi-public accusations disregards this process.

3. Authoritarian Patterns and Shepherding Abuse

• Levitical Patriarchalism and Control:
  • The described scenario echoes historical authoritarian movements, such as certain extremes of the Shepherding Movement, where leaders controlled and monitored followers’ lives without relational accountability.
  • Ezekiel 34:4: God condemns shepherds who dominate and harm the flock instead of tending it with care and compassion.
• Fear-Based Leadership:
  • Leadership that relies on suspicion, control, or exclusion reflects fear, not love or faith (1 John 4:18).
  • It creates a toxic environment where individuals are judged without due process, fostering a culture of mistrust and fear.

4. The Role of Relationship in Ministry

• Jesus’ Example:
  • Jesus modeled relational ministry, meeting people where they were and engaging them directly, even when addressing their sin (John 4:7-26, John 8:1-11).
  • Leaders who judge or categorize others without relationship fail to reflect Christ’s approach.
• Paul’s Instruction on Fellowship:
  • Paul emphasizes the importance of mutual accountability and restoration in Galatians 6:1: “If someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently.”
  • Restoration requires relationship, humility, and direct engagement.

Ethical and Spiritual Dangers of Such Practices

1. Spiritual Harm:

• Those accused or placed on “witch lists” experience isolation, confusion, and often deep emotional or spiritual wounds.
• These practices can hinder someone’s relationship with God and the church.

2. Cult-like Behavior:

• Categorizing people based on “inner readings” without evidence mirrors cult-like behavior, where leaders claim divine authority to control or exclude others.
• This undermines the gospel message of grace, redemption, and inclusion.

3. Misrepresentation of Christ:

• Non-believers who witness these actions may see the church as hypocritical, judgmental, or manipulative, damaging its witness to the world (John 13:35).

How Should This Be Addressed?

For Leaders:

1. Repentance and Humility:
   • Leaders involved in such practices should repent and seek reconciliation with those harmed.
   • They must evaluate their methods against Scripture and be willing to admit mistakes.
2. Commit to Biblical Principles:
   • Return to the biblical model of addressing concerns directly and relationally (Matthew 18:15-17).
   • Avoid relying on subjective impressions without corroborating evidence or relationship.
3. Educate and Equip:
   • Teach congregations the difference between biblical discernment and speculative judgment.
   • Equip members to avoid gossip and promote healthy, Christ-like fellowship.

For Those Affected:

1. Seek Restoration:
   • If possible, approach the leader or elder directly and respectfully, seeking clarification and reconciliation (Matthew 18:15).
2. Protect Your Heart:
   • Avoid bitterness or retaliation. Trust God to bring justice and healing (Romans 12:19).
3. Find Healthy Community:
   • Seek out a fellowship that practices biblical accountability and mutual respect.

Conclusion:

The behaviors described—secret spying, inner reading, gossip, and categorizing others without relationship—are spiritually destructive and violate biblical teaching. They reflect authoritarian, fear-based leadership rather than Christ-like, servant-hearted ministry. Leaders and believers alike must reject such practices, embrace biblical principles of justice and restoration, and model the love, trust, and unity that Jesus taught and exemplified.

Christian Gossip

Gossip in Christian circles often arises under the guise of “concern,” “discernment,” or “accountability.” It typically reflects ministry behavior focused on personal agendas, power dynamics, or sensationalism.

Characteristics of Christian Gossip:

1. Focus on People, Not Christ:
   • Gossip fixates on personal faults, past mistakes, or unverified rumors about others.
   • It shifts attention away from Christ and the transformative power of His teachings.
2. Temporal and Carnal Thinking:
   • Driven by jealousy, competition, or insecurity within ministry settings.
   • Emphasizes short-term gains, like gaining influence or defaming rivals, rather than eternal values.
3. Division and Strife:
   • Causes discord within the body of Christ (Proverbs 16:28).
   • Undermines trust and unity in the church, often leading to factions.
4. Lack of Accountability:
   • Gossip thrives in secrecy and avoids the biblical protocol for addressing issues (Matthew 18:15-17).
   • It involves speaking about someone instead of speaking to them.
5. False Sense of Authority:
   • Some Christians use gossip to elevate themselves, presenting others as unworthy or “unsubmitted.”
   • This behavior often reflects pride or an authoritarian spirit (1 Timothy 6:4-5).
6. Misuse of Speech:
   • Instead of using words to edify, gossip corrupts relationships and tarnishes reputations (Ephesians 4:29).

Example in Ministry Behavior:

• Leaders or congregants spreading unfounded claims about a colleague’s doctrinal stance, personal life, or leadership style.
• A church labeling others as “unsubmitted” or “rebellious” without relational dialogue or evidence.
