Í never had a discussion of this particular topic with Jesus (we have much more pressing matters to address when we do our face-to-faces), but, since you don't seem satisfied, I will give you what appears to me to be the most logical answer--had Jesus used any other bodily fluid, it would have been disgusting. Think about it and I'm sure you'll agree.

"money-grubbing hook-nosed joos, bitch-slapping" and other such language don't seem in keeping with the verse Ephesians 4:29 "let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers".

Well, you have a point there, at least in part. What's important about the Jews isn't the shape of their noses, it's the shape of their souls. As for money grubbing, it was Jews, not Christians, who turned God's Temple into a banking bazaar.
We do not tolerate bigotry at Landover. Period.

Are we as Christians allowed to harbor contempt and lothing for others.

We have no contempt in our hearts, except for those whom the Lord has made contemptible:
But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord of hosts. Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law. Malachi 2:8-9

A pastor condoning and praising God for those things in language and attitude I can't envision our loving Lord using?

Jesus called people hypocrites, blind fools, snakes, vipers, thieves, sons of the Devil, and one or two more choice words that I can't recite off the top of my head. Don't you read the Bible?

We as Baptists believe in the literal Word of God, but the whole Word of God. Can we be selective about what God says?

Finally you say something sensible.
