Your entire reply was judgment. Deciding if something is writing or wrong is judging if something is right or wrong by using the standard of scripture which is exactly what I'm saying scripture instructs us to do.
Thanks for agreeing with me without agreeing with me lol.
Christians are commanded to judge.... By God's standards.
The verse about a log out of your eye is specifically about Not ignoring sin in your own life and wait for it.... Judging yourself as well.
I'm sorry but you are not taking a remotely traditional Christian position but more of a modern evangelical position.
You can't preach the gospel to a non-believer without calling out their sin which is a judgment.
The totality of scripture instructs to judge by God's standards.
And as far as insulting pagans... Well there's quite a bit of harsh language.
I think my favorite is first Kings 18:27 were Elijah sarcastically taunts the prophets of Baal If their God is taking a shit. Then we have Jeremiah calling Israel a whore or in Galatians 5:12 where Paul told them to go ahead and cut their entire penises off.

So yeah, harsh language has its place.
Have a good day.
