So should we follow after the teaching of Jesus and not call people "fool" or should we follow the actions of Jesus and call people "fool" if the people deserve it? This is my question.

I believe we should avoid such terms. But that's just me. I do occassionally let one slip, but it's not the norm for me. I think we should conduct ourselves in a spirit of meekness and humility. We should not think of ourselves more highly than we ought. That being said, there are occassions when it is constructive to verbally thump someone over the head. But the KEY to every thing we do as Christians is to
restore.
Galatians 6:1 (KJV) 1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
Peace and Love,
Stephen
