Don't worry about it. I'm speaking the language that he understands. He said "if you would start actually using your brain, that would be awesome". Why are you not saying anything to him? He clearly is fine with talking that way, so he should not have a problem with someone talking to him that way. But, if he does, then he should think about how he was talking to me and whether or not he should have worded things the way he did.

Seems like you are trying to justify why you can be rude back - ie name calling. It’s not a fruit of the spirit.

Jesus told the pharisees they were of their father the devil and he called Herod a fox (sissy)

Was Jesus experiencing issues with His walk in the Spirit too?

You believe childish mockery is the same as Jesus, the lamb of God, calling the Pharisees sons of devils and Herod a fox?

Was Elijah being childish when he mocked the prophets of Baal after their false god failed to come through for them?

1 Kings 18:25 And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under. 26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made. 27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.

It’s a public forum, if you don’t like me calling you out on your rude behavior, ie name calling, report me
LOL. No, I think I'd prefer to just tell you directly to mind your own business instead of whining to someone and reporting you to them. But, by all means, continue on in your holier than thou act if that's what you want to do.

I hope that if ever lose my temper and partake in childish mockery. Someone calls me out on it.

Was my question too hard? Was Elijah being childish when he mocked the prophets of Baal?

Was my question about why you called me out instead of calling him out for saying to me: "if you would start actually using your brain, that would be awesome" too hard, also? Is it because you are a Calvinist and are taking his side? Do you think he is offended if someone talks to him the same way he talks to others? That would be rather strange if he is.
