Shall we examine two stories to see if you understand the meaning of slander? I will relate a story of John Wesley and the homosexual Charles Fox Parham. One is slander pure and simple. The other story is factual. The answer has been provided below as a link.
Story 1
The late great John Wesley while residing in Georgia Colony Company Incorporated was well known for his position on slavery. Mr. Wesley traveled to Valley Forge to meet with then General George Washington of the Continental Army. Mr. Wesley conferred privately with General Washington seeking to have slavery abolished when the good General became President of the United States.
Story 2
The pseudo-christian cult of pentecostalism was founded in the sixth year of the twentieth century in an earthquake ravished California by the homosexual Charles Fox Parham. Beginning his second day in the pulpit, William Seymour barred the homosexual Charles Fox Parham from the Azusa Street Mission, thereby giving the pseudo-christian cult of pentecostalism its two distinctives, scandal and division.
