After all is it really trash talking if you back it up? More like truth telling.
I know what you're saying and agree, but it is still trash-talking because the scriptures do say he decided to mock them. Interestingly too Jezebel of course tries to cast an enchantment upon him by swearing an oath to her false gods to kill Elijah. Lol one notices not only does she never succeed in killing Elijah as per the terms of her sacred oath, but actually Elijah gets taken up by God in a whirlwind by the fiery chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof, thus defying Jezebel's false gods actually twice over by the power of the Living God if you think about it, praise Jesus, the Word of the Living God that perserved Elijah in the wilderness.
