Matthew 12:34 said:
You brood of vipers!

You say Jesus Name-called? That he engaged in abusive language or insults designed to mentally harm someone? He gave his only begotten son and then name-called? That is inconsistent.
If you’re going to assert a book tells you all you need to know about God, ya should make sure where in the hell it came from [because maybe it truly did come from hell]. Satin is a pretty sneaky bastard, it’d just be like him to toss a book into society and say, “this [slave-justifying, hating on gay, misogynistic, flat earth society] book is all ya need to know about God.”
Grasshopper, THINK!
Jesus never said “Viper;” because he didn’t effing speak English. I think Bible quoters often lose tract of this.
Matthew was written 40 years after Christ’s Ascension, the author’s accounts are all 2nd, 3rd 4th hand. So, here’s what ya got If the author is correct:
Jesus probably called the hypocritical fools of the day “akidneh” or “nachash,” not vipers. A MAN supposedly observed the event and told other MEN. Another MAN translated the oral stories told in Aramaic into Greek 40 years later. Then MEN assembled the Muratorian Fragment putting Matthew in the “Bible” along with Paul’s letters to the Alexandrians and Macedonians and the Gospel of Thomas. MEN made up the 1st and 2nd councils of Nicaea, keeping Matthew in the Bible. MEN translated the Greek into Latin, who made up the Council of Trent, who put the current Bible together in Latin. These MEN at Trent decided Matthew and 7 of Paul’s letters would be in the Bible, but his letter to the Macedonians and the Alexandrians were cut out, along with the Gospel of Thomas. Then Men translated the Latin into various forms of English over the years.
Biblical educational seminar aside, the greater point is that Jesus used this imaginary to inform the HYPOCRITES that they’re going to hell and supported his conclusion with a pile of facts. This was scholarly judgement not name-calling. Anyone believing the Bible would NEVER act like Trump…EVER!
