I’m sorry, did I make you angry?

I’ll overlook your putting words in my mouth and simply tell you that in every instance listed in the Bible of the responses Jesus gave, the response given was the appropriate one. He was angry at some and made those he was responding to know it. He admonished to repent and sin no more and he meant it. He continued to counsel people to do as the prophets of old taught, love the Lord thy God and love thy neighbor as thyself.

Part of loving thy neighbor is telling him the truth. If the truth is that person is sinning, loving your neighbor entails letting him know that it is a sin and he can be saved through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

If your neighbor is a Christian who continues to struggle with sin, admonish him to repent and help if he will let you.

If your neighbor is one who preaches a false Gospel, tell him so and to repent.

If your neighbor takes offense, walk away and wipe the dust from your feet.

Never ever back down from telling the truth, that is to be truly Christ like.

Such as Judaism?
