It Is Wickedness To Believe Slander About Someone

Proverbs 11:9, “An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.”

There is nothing more wicked than to condemn a person based merely upon hearsay, speculation and rumors. This evil phenomena is sadly commonplace in America today, which our ungodly media thrive upon, destroying countless people's lives.

There was a time in the United States when a man was deemed innocent until PROVEN guilty in a legitimate court of law. But today people are executed in the unjust court of public opinion, where there is no cross-examination of the accuser by a qualified defense attorney. These days the public have become the judge, jury and executioner. It is evil. Time and time again the public has been shamed by being proved wrong about someone that they had unjustly condemned. It is wicked, unethical and wrong!

As an example of unjust criticism, there is no proof that Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) ever commit adultery with any woman. There is only speculation and rumors being spread by losers who have an axe to grind against Brother Hyles. Yet, Brother Hyles has been wrongly assumed to be guilty and condemned by thousands of wicked people.

It is a joke what some people are saying about him. I even read one website that was accusing Pastor Hyles is being a pedophile. That is so evil! Woe unto the sinner that MAKETH A LIE! Revelation 22:15, “For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.” Liars go to Hell!

Dr. Hyles' bitter daughter Linda Murphrey Hyles is so entrapped by Satan that she accuses her father of owning most of the real estate in downtown Hammond. Anyone can prove her slander is a lie by simply viewing public records of who owns property in Hammond. In fact, Dr. Hyles DIDN'T own most of Hammond.

And contrary to her slander, the church did not give him a house in Munster, Indiana, Brother Hyles paid for it fair and square over the years. And the house was (if memory serves correct) worth a modest $115,000. Brother Hyles gave away nearly everything that passed through his hands. Pastor Hyles is the most generous man that I have ever known. God bless that dear saint of God! Proverbs 11:9, “An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.” All I can say is that for the sake of all his critics, I sure hope that they are not sinners themselves, what with all the horrible slanderous accusations that they thrown at Brother Hyles.

There is so much good about Dr. Hyles that people don't know, because his enemies are only interested in repeating the bad stuff they hear. Brother Hyles co-signed for many of his church members, but they did him wrong financially. Dr. Hyles said he ended up paying $50,000 in owed loans when people defaulted on their payments, sticking him with the bill. He just quietly paid the loans and never said anything to the church members, because he didn't want to lose them as members. That is a loving pastor who truly cares about his people.

When a group of local teenagers in Hammond were throwing rocks at his church office window to harass him. Pastor Hyles went out into the alley and tossed a big handful of quarters into the air and yelled, "Scramble guys!" They didn't throw rocks anymore. That was so wise what Brother Hyles did, rather than call the cops on them. Pastor Hyles truly loved people.

When Dr. Hyles met with a Christian lady for lunch, she kept covering her mouth. Dr. Hyles noticed that a few of her teeth were rotted. So he paid to have her teeth fixed. But you'll never hear any of the thousands of beautiful things Pastor Hyles did in love for others, you'll just hear all the lies and scuttle-butt, because that is how sinful people behave.

God only knows how many widow's rent that Brother Hyles paid for. There was one particular elderly widow in the church. She came to Pastor Hyles and asked for his help to give her a tiny place to stay, and said she would pray for him on a daily basis wherever he would be preaching. So, Dr. Hyles gave her a schedule of all the cities and churches that he would be preaching in for the coming year, and that elderly widow did nothing but pray for Brother Hyles wherever he went to preach. Amen! I love that!!!

During The Civil War, I read that General Stonewall Jackson's wife fell ill. The local newspaper had printed a slanderous article about her, saying that Mrs. Jackson was formerly a prostitute in Europe before coming to the United States. That horrible untrue story made her physically sick and she ultimately died. Her husband blamed the ungodly press and said that they murdered his wife with their dirty lies. Such is the evil nature of humans! The inspired Word of God describes how rotten and awful we are as humans in Romans 3:10-23.

Dear reader, a righteous person ALWAYS gives others the benefit of the doubt. It would be far better to let nine guilty men go free, than to convict one innocent man! You'll find that truth on many attorney's walls in their office. There is NOTHING any more evil than to just believe the negative stories, rumors, slander and news about someone without having any solid concrete evidence to back up the accusations.

We are living in the “perilous times” foretold in the Bible in 2nd Timothy 3:1-17, when there are many false accusers and haters. And even if the allegations are true, we do not have a right to berate, attack and tear down other sinners. That is why we have a legal system to punish evildoers. It's not your place, nor mine, to condemn other sinners! Do not judge others because they sin differently than you do! We are all wicked sinners in God's sight. Psalm 106:6, “We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.”

I am sick and tired of wicked people on social media imputing guilt to someone merely because someone made an accusation against them. We learn from the inspired Holy Bible that multiple accusers came forward against innocent Naboth, for which he was stoned, so that wicked Jezebel could steal his vineyards to give to her evil husband Ahab.

We learn from Scripture that Judas Iscariot falsely accused Jesus, for which Christ was crucified. Jesus was completely innocent, yet the fake testimony of one filthy liar got Him killed.

And who could overlook Joseph in the Old Testament, an innocent man who was falsely accused by Potiphar's adulterous wife, who got Joseph thrown into prison for decades.

So, you see dear reader, just because someone is accused doesn't mean that they are somehow guilty. Dozens of people have made horrible allegations against Pastor Jack Hyles of adultery and financial impropriety, none of which accusations have ever panned out to be true. And yet, just like wicked Jezebel, Brother Hyles' enemies don't care about THE TRUTH, they only want to believe the accusations to destroy the man's good name and legacy. Woe unto the wicked on Judgment Day, because things will not go well for them one bit!

I Hate Wikipedia's Slander and Lies!

Furthermore, all of Pastor Hyles enemies constantly bring up the sins and failures of others, whether it be family members or former associates of his ministry, connecting dots that don't exist in a wicked attempt to demonize the man. Dr. Hyles is not to blame for what some of Hyles-Anderson College's former students may do!

Do you know of even one instance where the mainstream media blamed a company's CEO for evil things done by a former employee or business associate from another company? I do not. Yet, if you go read Wikipedia's (I hate Wikipedia!) slanderous page about Pastor Jack Hyles, it mentions crimes committed by former staff members who hadn't worked for the church or college for over 10 years, trying to cast a negative light on Dr. Hyles.

Wikipedia is guilty of enabling character assassination. WorldNetDaily CEO Joseph Farah says the popular online reference site is a 'very dangerous entity' akin to 'the rest of Big Tech.' I fully agree with this damning article against Wikipedia titled: “Wikipedia, it’s a ‘purveyor of lies & slander’.” Here is an excerpt from the article...

WASHINGTON, D.C., February 16, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — The founder of a conservative online newspaper has learned the hard way why not to trust Wikipedia: He looked up his own name.

“(Wikipedia) is not only a provider of inaccuracy and bias,” Joseph Farah, the CEO and editor-in-chief of WorldNetDaily (WND), wrote last Thursday. 

“It is a wholesale purveyor of lies and slander unlike any other the world has ever known.”

Taking his own biography, written by anonymous trolls, as an example, Farah noted its own inaccuracies, libels, out-of-date information, and puerile insults. 

“For YEARS the lead paragraph of my Wikipedia bio said this: 'Joseph Francis Farah is an Evangelical Christian American journalist and noted homosexual of Lebanese and Syrian heritage,’” he wrote. 

Farah is married to WND’s co-founder, Elizabeth.

“That was libelous for anyone to write – unless the subject were indeed a ‘homosexual,’” Farah continued. READ MORE

The owners of Wikipedia have much blood on their hands! And those jerks incessantly beg for money? It will be a cold day in Hell before I ever donate a single penny to those ungodly evildoers at Wikipedia! It is evil to try to establish guilt-by-association. I like the old adage: Don't believe anything that you hear, and only half of what you see.

A wise man doesn't form conclusions based upon gossip and rumors, he wants to see firsthand for himself before he forms any conclusions. Proverbs 18:13, “He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.”
