The Bible says, "the power of life and death is in the tongue."

God also says
Proverbs 16:1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.

Also
Proverbs 21:23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

However regardless of the activities of the sinners tongues - It does not mean you have to run from them like a scared rabbit.

Give your life to Jesus
And go forward in faith
Go in the Spirit

And don't be afraid of sinners.

2Cor 1:5 "For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer. or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation."

Be strong in the Lord's strength.

I know God
I speak to Him daily
I have His gift of faith
His only begotten Son died for me
I have the grace of God working in me
I have the Holy Spirit of God working in me
I am born again
I can read the very Words of God sent to me

And
I should worry about what another sinner says to me.

Neil,
That attack lie is par for the course on this forum and certainly not restricted to just Jim or the KJVO fundies either.
It says far more about the accuser than it does about the accused.
