Proverbs 12:6, “The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.”
Proverbs 26:22, “The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.”
Proverbs 30:14, “There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.”
The inspired Word of God has a lot to say about our “words.” I hate Wikipedia because many of their entries SLANDER good people without a shred of proof; it's just hearsay and gossip.
A prime example is Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001). I won't link to their Wikipedia webpages because I don't even want to help promote their filthy lies and wickedness! Wikipedia horribly slanders and tears down Brother Hyles without credible sources. Here's what they often do. If I slander a local church and its pastor, and a local newspaper prints my slander, that article then becomes a citable source, as if it were a fact. But the reader has no way of knowing if the information is actually true. Wikipedia is full of such dishonest unethical entries, all used to wickedly tear down, slander and destroy innocent victims. I HATE WICKIDEDIA!!! Proverbs 11:9, “An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.”
On Wikipedia, they wickedly slander Dr. Jack Hyles, connecting a bunch of dots that don't exist to destroy his good name. For example: They mention recent crimes committed by former church members and staff who went their own way decades earlier. It is evil. Pastor Hyles is not responsible for the negative behavior of former church members and staff, yet wicked critics try to establish a connection.
The famous guitar player Neal Schon from the rock band Journey legally married a woman. Shortly thereafter he met up with a girl he knew from high school. Neal dumped his wife and married his old high school flame instead. That is as wicked as can be! Yet, not one mention is made on Wikipedia on his webpage. Why is Pastor Hyles being blamed for evil things that distant former college students, staff and church members have done, while serious evil things done by wordily celebrities themselves are overlooked? Truly, the world love their own!
The same is true of David Lee Roth, who according to the New York Post created the equivalent of the McDonald's drive-thru of fornication after his rock concerts. Roth is a well-known sex pervert and party animal. Yet, not one mention is made about any of this wickedness on his Wikipedia page. The sinful world hates Bible preachers and Christians, just like Jesus said they would (John 15:19).
I could go on and on, showing you how the most wicked worldly celebrities get a free pass. I remember when guitarist Peter Townshend of the rock band, The Who, was arrested about 25 years ago by Scotland Yard Police, who said they found 7,000 images of dirty child smut photos on his computer (I am being discreet in my words). But if you go read what Wikipedia has to say about the matter decades later, wicked people have whitewashed the entire crime, as if Pete was so innocent and it was all an honest misunderstanding. Bull! What happened to those 7,000 criminal IMAGES on Pete Townshend's computer that Scotland Yard Police confiscated? Wikipedia is full of lies!!!
It will be a cold day in Hell before I'd ever donate a single penny to Wikipedia's ungodly owners!!! The owners of the website are fully aware of the evil things that are being done through THEIR WEBSITE, so they are 100% accountable and liable. Thankfully, there is a caring omniscient God in Heaven, who will avenge every slandered name on Wikipedia. Their wicked owners WILL BE held accountable by God (Ecclesiastes 12:14; Matthew 12:36; Romans 14:10-12; James 4:12; Galatians 6:7). 1st Peter 4:17, “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?”
Wikipedia is dangerous. There are some inherent dangers to using Wikipedia that you need to keep in mind:
ANYONE can edit Wikipedia and say ANYTHING they want. It's an encyclopedia written exclusively by its readers. Although this promotes freedom of speech, it also opens the door to slanderous misrepresentation of the facts and the assassination of people's character. I've read some really horrible and malicious untrue slander against several men of God on Wikipedia, including faithful pastors who have given their life to serve others for the lord.
It is a shame that a pastor can dedicate 50 years of his life to serving God, and do 10,000 wonderful things throughout his ministry to help people; but then one or two hateful critics portray that man on Wikipedia as the scum of the earth. Wikipedia is being used by many evil people as a way of destroying other good people's credibility and reputation. Their sole intent is to kill, steal and destroy (John 10:10).
Here are some dangers I think you need to be aware of:
Twisted Facts — As I said, I've read some really rotten things about godly men on Wikipedia, where critics have taken a preacher's words completely out-of-context. In fact, it's an epidemic on Wikipedia. Any hateful person with malicious intent can pick and choose quotes at random from a Christian author's books, making him look like a cult leader or a pervert. I've seen this a lot on Wikipedia. For example: a pastor might write in his book, "I like little children because they are precious expressions of God's love." Some critic will misquote that pastor as saying, "I like little children." In today's sick-minded society, this type of twisting of the facts is very common.
Shady Citations — I've read some malicious criticisms about great men of God, tearing them down, from sources no more credible than someone's personal opinion. If a critic writes a book, it can be used as a citation for slanderous remarks. In effect, mere personal opinions are viewed as factual evidence against a man. This is unethical and wrong. Many of the references used to attack God's men are cited from personal websites, which carry about as much credibility as Monopoly money at the bank.
Bigoted Unedited Edits — Although it is true that anyone can edit Wikipedia, I've often noticed that it's the hatemongers who do most of the editing (because they don't have a real life). Unless some decent person comes along and makes the effort to UNDO the smut and lies posted by critics, the slanderous information often remains on Wikipedia (which is often unverifiable information).
Guilt by Association — On Wikipedia, many renowned pastors (and organizations) are being attacked and defamed simply because of their association with others who have done horrible things or crimes. This is wrong. It is unethical to assassinate a man's reputation on the basis of what's others do. A man must be held accountable for his own words and actions.
It is ridiculous to believe some of the garbage posted on Wikipedia. I encourage people to be careful about forming any opinions from information obtained on Wikipedia's website until they do their homework.
Note: I'm not talking about false prophets or known con-artists like Benny Hinn, I'm talking about misrepresentations of the truth here. There are some truthful bad things on Wikipedia about some great men of God, but the critics of those men have gone to great lengths to distort and stretch the truth as much as possible in their hatred of those men. Many critics will build a house-of-lies upon one or two mistakes a great man of God made in his lifetime. Since the primary accusation may be true, then all the lies built upon that negative truth become much more believable. This is a common tactic that liars use to destroy the credibility of their enemies. Every human being will be held accountable by God almighty in eternity for their every word (Matthew 12:36). Please don't give a dime to Wikipedia.“Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities... But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.” —Jude 1:8, 10
There is a spirit to every book, movie, webpage, sermon, et cetera. By “spirit” I do not mean in the sense of a ghost; but rather, the overall feel and essence of the media being propagated.
I have gone to Wikipedia's shameful website numerous times to change the disrespectful and wrong information about Pastor Jack Hyles, because the article as is woefully disrespects Brother Hyles, calling him “Hyles.” It will be a cold day in Hell before you ever find me disrespectfully referring to God's great man as “Hyles.” He is Dr. Jack Hyles, Pastor Hyles or Brother Hyles. Wikipedia is full of loathsome disrespect for dignitaries.
And when I added my comments to defend Brother Hyles, someone repeatedly removed all of my changes, time after time. I tell you, THUGS control Wikipedia. Why would I give those evil rotten bastards a dime? Let them rot in Hell with their father, the Devil (John 8:44). I say that kindly, but truthfully, desiring to see justice for Wikipedia's countless slandered victims.
Wikipedia Co-Founder Larry Sanger on How His Site Went Woke
Larry Sanger argues that Wikipedia has abandoned neutrality, becoming increasingly aligned with progressive ideologies.
Larry Sanger, the co-founder of Wikipedia, has voiced sharp criticism of the platform he helped create, claiming that it has abandoned its foundational principle of neutrality and shifted towards a progressive ideological bias.
Sanger, who co-founded Wikipedia in 2001 with Jimmy Wales, alleges that the once-revolutionary encyclopedia has become a tool for promoting establishment narratives.
In recent interviews, Sanger has described Wikipedia as favoring liberal and progressive viewpoints, particularly on contentious political and cultural topics.
'Wikipedia has become a mouthpiece for the establishment,' Sanger stated, adding that it no longer offers balanced coverage of diverse perspectives.
He pointed to the disproportionate scrutiny of conservative figures compared to their liberal counterparts as evidence of systemic bias.
Sanger's concerns extend to Wikipedia's governance and editorial processes.
He argues that the platform's reliance on volunteer editors, while democratizing content creation, has made it vulnerable to ideological echo chambers.
He has also criticized Wikipedia’s handling of controversial topics, suggesting that dissenting opinions are often marginalized or omitted entirely.
Studies have supported claims of bias within Wikipedia.
A 2023 report by the Manhattan Institute found that the platform's articles on right-leaning public figures were more likely to contain negative language compared to those on left-leaning individuals.
This has fueled broader debates about Wikipedia’s credibility and its influence on public discourse. READ MORE
RUN from Wikipedia! It is a cesspool of iniquity, a den of thieves and Satan's lair. The right-wing conservative Christian owner of 'World Net Daily' newspaper, Joseph Farah, has been horribly slandered by Wikipedia, calling him a “homosexual.” Mr. Farah is NOT gay! ... Online newspaper founder: Don’t trust Wikipedia, it’s a ‘purveyor of lies & slander’
WorldNetDaily CEO Joseph Farah says the popular online reference site is a 'very dangerous entity' akin to 'the rest of Big Tech.'February 16, 2021LifeSiteNews has been permanently banned on YouTube. Click HERE to sign up to receive emails when we add to our video library.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.
“But for Wikipedia they dodged that bullet with a defense that ‘volunteers’ created the content on the site. Of course, if I tried to correct it – and I did try – they would reject it. That's the same way Big Tech operates. So Wikipedia was ahead of its time.”
Farah’s Wikipedia bio has also stated, libellously, that he had an affair “with a prominent female syndicated columnist.” It has also referred to him in the past as “white supremacist,” a “closet homosexual,” a “self-hating Arab,” a “Zionist Twit,” “a Jew Loving Pig” and a “religious nutcase.” It referred to WND as “an American independent article and editorial based online tabloid that publishes from a radical right wing point of view.”
“Whatever that means,” quipped Farah. The WND chief said he had to threaten Wikipedia with a lawsuit to get his biography corrected, and the corrections were soon replaced with more lies “designed to hurt and humiliate.” “If ever there were a website to avoid at all costs, it's Wikipedia,” Farah averred. “No good can possibly come from using this vast wasteland of error and deliberate deceit. You should get off of it and warn others away,” he continued. “You should make sure your children and grandchildren know what a corrupt and morally bankrupt institution it truly is.” READ MORE
The Devil always lies! Revelation 12:10, “And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.” Satan is the accuser of the Christian brethren, constantly criticizing God's saints to discredit and diminish their testimony for Jesus Christ. Wikipedia has MUCH blood on their hands for sanctioning, partaking and allowing their perversion of decency, truth and accurate facts to continue. Proverbs 11:9, “An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.”
