Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door! – James 5v9
.
I have recently made a decision to greatly back off my posting on a Christian forum. I did not make the decision because there is anything wrong with it, and not that there is anything wrong Christians debating and discussions. The reason is that I am seeing that there is far too much grumbling and begrudging there.
The word for ‘grumble’ is translated ‘grudge against’ in the KJV. The idea is kind of ‘muttering under your breath’ attitude. This attitude may not be loudly spoken or clear, but it is that much more subtle, quiet, murmuring spirit that can never get anything done.
Grumbling is insidious because it never cam accomplish anything. It may be even more dangerous than clearly speaking out because it leaves so much unsaid and up in the air. It sets peoples minds to run off in all kinds of directions.
There is no room in the body for all of this nonsense. There is no room for fighting and disputing. There is no room for grumbling or begrudging. These are selfish and prideful actions that only lead to destruction and judgement.
