Slander can be defined as: n. oral defamation, in which someone tells one or more persons an untruth about another which untruth will harm the reputation of the person defamed. Slander is a civil wrong (tort) and can be the basis for a lawsuit. Damages (payoff for worth) for slander may be limited to actual (special) damages unless there is malicious intent, since such damages are usually difficult to specify and harder to prove.  Some statements such as an untrue accusation of having committed a crime, having a loathsome disease, or being unable to perform one's occupation are treated as slander per se since the harm and malice are obvious, and therefore usually result in general and even punitive damage recovery by the person harmed. Words spoken over the air on television or radio are treated as libel (written defamation) and not slander on the theory that broadcasting reaches a large audience as much if not more than printed publications. James 4:11 Do not spea

An intellect is the faculty of reasoning and understanding objectively, especially with regard to abstract matters.

  Therefore, when people purchase a soft drink which is sugared water, few complaints are heard about the cost of what is no more than a bottle of water, with added value.  When people buy a novel in book form few speak about how much the paper cost.   How many look at the cost of materials that makeup a new car? Why then are thieves who steal music always speaking about the material cost of the product, the music is conveyed?

2 Timothy 3:1-17 The Dangers of the Last Days 1. You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times.  2. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred.  3. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good.  4. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God.  5. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly.  Stay away from people like that! 6. They are the kind who work their way into people’s homes and win the confidence of a vulnerable women who are burdened with the guilt of sin and controlled by various desires.  7. (Such women are forever following new teachings, but they are never able to understand the truth.)   8. These teac

Matthew 13:24-30 New International Version (NIV) 24  Jesus told them another parable:  “The kingdom of heaven is like  a man who sowed good seed in his field.   25  But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.   26  When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared. 27  “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’ 28  “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’ 29  “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them.   30  Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”

2 Timothy 3:1-5 1  But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. 2  For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3  unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 4  treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5  holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. 

Matthew 4:8-10 New International Version (NIV) 8  Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.   9  “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” 10  Jesus said to him,  “Away from me, Satan!  For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’ Mark 8:36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?

John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil,  and you want to carry out your father’s desires.  He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

The difference between a Sociopath and a Psychopath? Psychopathy, is generally considered a confluence of genetic and chemical imbalances.  Psychopaths lack the proper neurological frameworks to develop a sense of ethics and morality.  Sociopaths interact with their social worlds in a meaningful way, but their moral compasses need a massive tune-up from yesterday. Both tend to be charming, despite being unable to empathise normally with others.  They offer convincing systems of fear and disgust, but tend to lack both.  Psychopaths are dangerous. They’re violent and cruel, and oftentimes downright sinister. They show no remorse for their actions, usually because of a lesion on a part of their brain responsible for fear and judgment, known as the amygdala.  Psychopaths commit crimes in cold blood.  They crave control and impulsivity, possess a predatory instinct, and attack proactively rather than as a reaction to confrontation. Sociopathic   behaviour is manifested as conniving

When Jesus was teaching the crowds in the mountains he used the illustration of trees and there fruits to show how actions are deeply rooting in what motivates us.  Either from God or the devil. Matthew 7:15-17 15 "Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.  16 "You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?   17 "So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.… Sadly today many still pretend to have a form of godliness, though they are strangers to god and even deny the power of God by their actions.

Bullies  often  bully  because they are  jealous  and envious of others.  They may be  jealous  of your relationships with others, for being popular, your ability to make friends or because you have a loving family. Some reasons why people behave in such an abysmal manner: 1) The Bully Has Been Bullied Before; 2) The Bully Is Lonely; 3) The Bully Has Problems At Home; 4) The Bully Has Low Self-Esteem; 5) The Bully Is Jealous; 6) The Bully Is Part of a Pack; 7) The Bully Has a Big Ego; 8) The Bully Likes To Impress; 9) The Bully Sees You as Being Different; Aggression can either take the forms of violence or emotional abuse.  Are bullies saying, “Give me my way or face my behavior”.   They usually control others through verbal abuse and insults and by making people feel small.  They're very negative, critical people.  The threat is always in the background that they're going to break something or call somebody names or hit someone if they are disagreed

Victory in Europe (VE) Day was recently remembered around the world.  When many had to stand up for what they believed was right.  Haters then and now will always hate.  Sadly only a few in Germany at the time were able to stop to ask if this was the ravings of a lunatic.  Hitler claimed that Darwinism proved that they were the superior, master race.  This was pleasing to many who followed this man and forgot the teaching of the Christ, as many do today.  I have been asked 'why belive those fairy stories'?  Is what we read in the bible really untrue and not from God? 2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine.  Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.

There are those who want to brow beat others into their way of perverse thinking without logical reasoning.  They fail to understand that everyone has the freedom to disagree using their own mind to think in accordance to their own conscience. Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Amos 5:7 There are those who turn justice into bitterness and cast righteousness to the ground. Habakkuk 1:4 Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails. The wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted.

There are those who claim to have a direct channel to god, but in reality are only a dark tunnel to nowhere.  Beloved ones, do not believe every inspired expression, but test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God, because many false prophets have gone forth into the world. ( 1 John 4:1) Two plus two equals four, not five or three.  As Jesus indicated, we should check out what they do if it added up and was in  line with God's word. (Matthew 7:16-17, 21)  (Revelation 22:1-2)

Why do some people run from the truth and hide behind untruths.  When and how did we work out that untruths can work for our betterment?  Even some religious leaders and non-believers have become corrupt misleading and being mislead.  (2 Tim 3:13)   Sadly if we knew we were being deceived we would never believe untruths.  Jesus had just finished a speech at the temple where he delineated differences between Himself and His listeners. “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.  I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins” (John 8:23-24) The result of Jesus’ message was that “even as he spoke, many believed in him” (verse 30).  Then, in verse 31, Jesus begins to speak just to those who had believed. The freedom Jesus offers is a  spiritual freedom from the bondage of sin—that is, release from the lifestyle of habitual lawlessness.  (2 Thessalonians 2)

Just think, what would you say if someone cloned your bank card and weekly took $100 from your account.  Then handed it over to their friends to do the same?  When you asked them why, they told you "everyone else does so they just joined the crowd".  Beside we can't all be caught right?  Would you then say "well, if everyone did it you did not mind"? The question is, just because everyone else is a goat, so should you be also?  Are you not able to think for your self?  It seems that there is no right or wrong just can you be caught or not. Would someone who really appreciates music steal from the artist, because they have lots of money right?   Is piracy really a form of malicious envy?  Beside what does it cost the artist anyway they can make more music right?  If you need a burst water-pipe fixed would you question how the man who came to repair it obtained his skill?     Few people would openly admit to being a racist, even if they did and said rac

As defined in the Urban dictionary, Cooning is a verb derived from the word coon.  A coon was/is a person of African decent whose sole purpose was/is to entertain white people.  These 'coons' started out as wearing black face, characterised by rolling big eyes and painting big red lips on their face.  These people would tap dance, play instruments and sing.  Modern day coons are blacks who play stereotypical roles and black entertainers that promote ignorance.  Cooning is someone is acting like a 'coon'.  It appears that the term originated from African-Americans being called "coons" rather than "niggers" or other more offensive slang.  Many people with a superiority complex like to consider all African-Americans to be thieves, hence the term, "someone cooned my wallet or my house got cooned last night".   These are man made concepts from pagan understanding because God in not partial to race or gender according to Acts 10:35 from the

Copyright theft, has always been around.  As a young songwriter, I would send my songs to publishers, who stole them all.  All I would hear was some of my lyrics over the radio.  As a result, after crying to them, I was advised by the musicians union to create Pennant Music Publishers and record my own music to establish ownership beyond doubt.  I remember at music school I got into a heated discussion about the origins of rap music.  It was clear to me then in my humble view, that we all have come a long way but still have some way to go.  In a discussion yesterday I was asked why did god make me black?  I think the inference was that being black was an affliction.  My answer was 'I was blessed by god as a black man, whoever has a problem should take it up with god, not me'.    I was constantly being told by record executives to play Reggae, Hip Hop, or Soul music.  My love is of creating music, what I write or play is left to creativity.   To be fair I guess they were
