Not really, Jesus point out people faults quite a few times. The Samaritan woman, the woman who washed his feet, called the pharisees hypocrites, told Nicodemus he didn't understand the Word even though he was learned in it, called people stubborn and so on.
Jesus was anything but cotton candy and bubble gum. He told people like it is but He did it in a perfect manner that none of us can completely replicate not to mention he was perfect so I mean who was going to fault him back right?
The thing is you are supposed to reprimand the brethren who are in wrong doing. How else are we to keep the church fit to be a bride? Fault finding and correction isnt the problem it's how you go about it that is the biggest kicker.
We are incredibly good at deceiving ourselves. If I post something I know isn't wholesome and no one says anything, eventually there is a chance I will beging to rationalize that it is ok in my head. But if you or another brother/sister says something to me I am much more likely to turn from it out of guilt and shame and stop. I WANT you to hold my feet to the fire because I can't always count on myself to do it.
What we do we must do in love and sincerity, including correction. Not out of malice and attempting to one up or akschually someone.
On the point of other religions, Jesus was pretty clear those who do not follow Him are going to burn. Can't get much more "your religion is wrong" than that 🤷. It's Him or nothing and I'll tell everyone whether they like it or not. I don't tell them because I hate them, I tell them because I don't want anyone to see that end. I had a dream (twice) about Jesus' return and one of them I didn't make it and I was so terrified it is indescribable. That dream would make me break down into tears for years after I had it. Not a good place to be man.
