It doesn't matter how you speak of your fellow man, it matters how the LORD does. And He does refer to sinners in the most vile, disgusting ways. Unless you save and treasure old, used menstrual rags, you should at least recognize what the LORD thinks of you (Isaiah 64:6).

Can you prove they were condescending? Please use Scripture to support your argument.

You're not religious, you just have religious beliefs?

You could if you were Born Again. Then you'd be compelled to judge (2nd Timothy 4:1-2), and you'd have the tools to do it well. You'd have the tool of Righteousness (John 7:24)!

Despite the fact the Old Testament was written by the Jews, and despite the fact that they cannot be trusted farther than they can be thrown, nevertheless, it is the same God-Breathed Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16), so the LORD has washed the Jewish stench off the old, and made it glorious. He works miracles like that you know.

The Holy Ghost never thought it important enough to include that, so you can rest assured that it's not important.

It says "kinds" (Genesis 6:20). Baraminologists are
working on this issue diligently and
passionately.
