Episode Details

In a world that dismisses divine law, words lose their weight—but Scripture tells a very different story. In this powerful chapter, Rushdoony confronts the devastating consequences of careless, slanderous speech, showing that even our "idle words" fall under the judgment of God. Slander is not merely rude or socially disruptive—it is a violation of God's justice, a theft and a murder by the tongue. From courtroom injustice to cultural gossip, Rushdoony exposes how false witness permeates humanistic societies and reveals that true accountability begins with the words we speak.
