More then just that though. Paul wrote to Timothy, and encouraged him saying in 2 Timothy 3:10-17 :
You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
As for Jesus teaching about not calling anyone a condemning name, I agree this puts me at risk. But I did it the first time for your benefit. Consider Mathew 18:15
15 “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over.
This second time I referenced it was both for your benefit and anyone else still talking to you to consider the discussion so far and judge the merit of that verse. If you see your error and turn away from it it is for your benefit. That is why I referenced it. That said I know I am a fool. We all are. I think that is part of why Jesus said to not call someone a fool. (That and it show you have no real love for the brother you called a fool). None the less, how will you learn unless someone points the fault out to you.
