Don't let them kid you BROTHERS and SISTERS. JESUS
CHRIST called the religious leaders of His day, SNAKES, and
the CHILDREN of their FATHER, the DEVIL!
We are always to approach others with meekness. And have
understanding, and try to reason with others. If you love God, you hate evil. And evil is proud look!
When we see a person who is consistently destructive toward
others, we sometimes need to use TUFF LUV. And kick them of their self-righteous high horse. For their benefit as well as the
benefit of our brothers and sisters.

As a Christian, our primary concern is to be christ like, there is such a thing as righteous anger, which in John, when Jesus ran the people out of the temple he showed. There are times to be meek, and there are times to lash out. Ultimately, the spirit should be guiding our lives. There is no way we would know what to do without the Holy Spirit.

Yes, you are not allowed to abuse anyone with your words. Sorry to go against you, but Jesus taught us not to judge and to love even our enemies. He also said to notice pay attention to the plank in our own eye before we notice the speck in our brother's eye.
God alone is the Judge, and that means he alone is allowed to pour wrath out on those who would wish to reject Him and even incite wrath toward Him. We are supposed to give the benefit of the doubt to all, and also know that all have been redeemed and to assume all will be saved. We should let God, and the authorities he has put over us (police, military, legal system, etc.) to execute judgments upon wrongdoers, we however have been taught to love one another and forgive always.

YES we are "allowed" to use harsh words. Everuthing is allowable, but not everything is beneficial. We should approach everyone with meekness and try to be humble, but we can be angry at injustice and speak harshly about it and to someone. For example: If we see someone raping another or beating someone, it is our duty to be a Good Samaratin" and probably yell at the offender and try to stop the aggression. Wouldn't Jesus do this??

I have learned if a person rebukes you it is because the love you and want the very best for you. Ephesians4:15.
Tough love is needed at times and there were times people had to show tough love to me and I was pissed off and I was resentful and I was mad.
But I grew and matured because people loved me enough not to tell me what I wanted to hear.

Tough love is one thing and venting your personal anger another. If you use hard language fine, but don't do it in anger. And we don't use swear words. There is an abundance of proper words to describe a perverse action and we should not resort to gutter language.
I do get tough when I need to...

Christians are to speak the truth of God's Word.
To the unsaved, they can sound harsh. But we speak them in love.

Yes this is true! Jesus didnt put up with it, why should we? Neither will God, when Christ returns Hes not coming with a smile on his face, hes not happy with whats been going on in this world.

Should We Never Judge?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment"; and "You have rightly judged."; and "Yes, and why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right?"; and "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves". (Jesus' Words in John 7:24; Luke 7:43, 12:57 and Matt. 23:15)
There is an extremely serious error that is being believed by the vast majority of people caught up in christian religion. This error is literally making those folks unwilling and unable to discern truth. And what is this error? It is believing that all "judgment" is wrong. If this is true, then what is to be made of Jesus' Words above? In the verses above, Jesus clearly commands people to judge, commends people for judging, and judges himself.
The key point to understand is that not all judgment is wrong, just various types of judgment. The types of judgment that are wrong according to Jesus are condemnation, as well as hypocritical and self-righteous judgment. On the other hand, right judgment is commended by Jesus as we see above. Right judgment includes the judging of truth versus falsehood. The sincere, serious and sober judgment of our own sins, as well as the gentle, and compassionate judgment and correction of other's beliefs or sins.

Christians can use 'harsh' words but remember you are to confess all your sins to the father of your church. So it is better to use them less often than other words.
