I'm convinced if Jesus, Paul, and Elijah were alive today with veiled identities, they'd all be put under church discipline for unchristlike speech.

Jesus called the pastors of his day a brood of snakes, hypocrites, and told them they're all going to Hell (Matt. 23:33). Elijah told non-Christians that their false god is probably not responding because he's taking a dump (1 Kings 18:27). Paul told false teachers (who said gentiles needed to be circumcised to be saved) that he wished they'd cut off their dicks (Gal 5:12).

Evangelical culture is too soft and doesn't create space for men with bold prophetic voices. Blunt and salty language is not called for in every situation, but there is a time and a place for it. Everyone loves the prophets after they've been dead for a while (we chuckle at how freely they spoke and admire their boldness), but few can stomach them while they are alive.
