    Jesus answers this in a way through the parable of the wheat and tares. The wheat of course represents the true Christians but the devil adds tares in with the crop. Tares are only recognizable when they bud. (their fruit reveals them to not be wheat). By this time though they are so ingrained that to just try to uproot them would pull up valuable wheat as well. Sometimes we can deal with a gossip and put a stop to them but sometimes we must be careful as they may have a deceived following. You may hurt a Christian when you confront a gossip or "tare" or any kind. Pray first, seek God's guidance. Sometimes God is the only one who can pull the tare without hurting the wheat. No Church will ever be without gossip. No Church will be without eager ears either. Just pray that God takes care of them.

    Dear Saggywoman,
    If this person is as described most of the people she is gossiping to already know this persons heart.Talk to you Pastor about this problem. Then pray that that person gets thier heart right . Once you have given this over to God do not give it a second thought. Don't waste anymore time or emotional energy on them it will do you no good.
    Do not waste anytime or energy being angry or hurt buy this person.I have read your other posts. You have better ways to spend your time and energy.
