Wowzers ‼️ so “aggressive” ! sounds a little “combative” , right? Maybe He needs to reduce His testosterone levels and become more feminine, mushy, and lovey dovey, if He wants to get anywhere today, huh?Quite “accusatory” towards certain demographics, don’t ya think? Almost as “unloving”, as all Bible-Rejectors portray it to be, isn’t it? Almost makes someone like you want to correct God and tell Him that He’s not very good at “sharing the love of Christ”, doesn’t it?

If you can't read or teach the scriptures with the heart of the Spirit and if you can only speak using the tone of the flesh, then you won't ever understand those passages much less the scriptures in general. The Spirit speaks like the Spirit. Full stop. Beware of who's words you are using sarcasm with and learn how He has told you to teach His word.

2 Timothy 2:24-26 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 and that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

No need because it has already been analyzed. I can guarantee you that the Bible was written with love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance.

Anything we write aught to be as well, even when speaking about hard and difficult topics which the Spirit often did through the Biblical writers.

So God commanding whole tribes to be wiped out or Achan and his family to be stoned to death for stealing from Jericho is love and kindness? Or Jesus talking about the worm that dies not and being cast into outer darkness or the unpardonable sin? Or John talking about the wrath of God abiding on the children of the devil which would include your friendly neighbor? This is gentleness and meekness?

Surely you jest.

Yes, even in hard things the Spirit is present. Take Moses for example. He was the most humble and meek man yet had to speak hard things and execute hard judgements. Numbers 12:3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.) When he spoke, he spoke as God with the Spirit of God and did great things. Yet When he allowed himself to speak in the flesh, He failed to Glorify God (Numbers 20:10-12). To say that we must speak in a fleshly way when speaking about hard things or when contending for the faith is not correct. Every word of God is by His Spirit and not by works of the flesh.
