“If we are to love our neighbor as ourselves wouldn’t it seem
obvious that it means we are not a busybody in our neighbor
eating habits, their drinking habits, or anything else in their
lives unless we we are invited to give them some advise?
Moreover, are we going to become a police force to make sure
that they took our advise and applied it? These ungodly
intrusions are far more important than restricting a food, or
something else in someones life.”

2Thess.3:10 For even when we were with you, we commanded youthis: “If anyone will not work, neither let him eat.” 3:11 For we hearof some who walk among you in rebellion, who don’t work at all, butare busybodies. 3:12 Now those who are that way, we command andexhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, andeat their own bread.

1Tim.5:11 But refuse younger widows, for when they have grownwanton against Christ, they desire to marry; 5:12 havingcondemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge. 5:13Besides, they also learn to be idle, going about from house to house.Not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things whichthey ought not. 

1Pet. 4:15 For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or anevil doer, or a meddler in other men’s matters.James.1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father isthis: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and tokeep oneself unstained by the world.

A busybody is a nosy, meddling person, who’s very interestedin what other people say and do. If you’re a busybody, you can’t helpoffering advice to friends, whether they want it or not. Busybodiesare known for trying to help with situations in which they’re notnecessarily welcome or needed.  

A busybody is a person who meddles in the affairs of others.Sometimes this meddling is under the guise of “helping,” but usuallythe “help” is unwelcome and uninvited. Busybodies are often peoplewho are dissatisfied with the level of drama in their own lives andgain satisfaction by becoming involved in the problems of otherpeople. Gossip is usually a staple of every busybody, but it is usuallycamouflaged as a “prayer request” or given under the pretense ofasking for advice.
