Isn't that against the Commandment about "bearing false witness against thy neighbor?"

WILL BREAKING THAT COMMANDMENT SEND ONE TO HELL?

You should in turn accuse them of being an old, nasty Christian.
At least you know you're not lying.

This just shows that claiming to be a Christian does not really change people. Being a Christian is more an act of membership in a group. One claims they "believe" to gain membership. They want that membership because non-members are treated as non-members, ostracized, or worse.
So whether a person is a Christian has little to do with how they behave. They are Christian to avoid being treated like second class citizens or worse.
That said, you need to examine your obvious biases against older people. Being old has nothing to do with your complaint. And you need to ask why that person whould accuse you of doing something, you claim you didn't do. (I see no reason to take sides.)
Good luck on figuring things out.

I think most people who want to accuse someone of something or make them look bad are trying to take attentin off themselves. I dont know that they will rott in hell, but people will definately have all the pain the caused others run thru there veins before they are forgiven. Isnt it funny that people can cause so much pain in the name on their god? Try to just let it go, they will have their day.

I would recommend reminding the Christian they need to act in love, love the sinner but hate the sin, and remind them to remove the log in their eye before worrying out the speck in their brothers eye.
No, breaking a Commandment won't land one in hell. No one of us has ever held true -- and that is why we need a Savior - Jesus Christ.

Breaking the Ten Commandments given to Moses will not get you sent to hell, because Jesus vetoed pretty much everything Moses was about

Only if they don't repent...... Let God do the judging!
The hardest thing to do is to not defend yourself or retaliate in any way ... to anyone.
Let the person rant and rave and you just sit back and know that the truth will be shown. It really works... if you don't feed their fire it soon goes out.
Continue to be nice to that person and act like you don't even know they said anything. By being nice I don't mean falling all over them, but do acknowledge them with a smile or greeting when you come face to face..... It is the right thing to do, but it is like rubbing salt into the wound also,

Like debidoo said. Let God judge the person and you to forgive.
Forgive the person for accusing you of something you didnt do..and if you care/want, you cna always explain your side

Universal law of Karma guarantees that what comes around, goes around. So all you need to do is sit back and smile. For it WILL come back on them....10 fold. ; )
One can not escape Universal Law!

there are some good and honest Christians but there are some hypocrites also and i dont even consider them to be Christians as long as they refuse to repent
