In the last days people shall be ...rude?

I want to see if something corresponds with some statements in the Bible.Like, I heard in my parents generation ,people were more courteous, and more respectful of others, and friendlierThe last several years, I noticed (have been on the receiving end of it,myself}people these days are very RUDE.I don't mean so much with words, but actions. Like, I like to be courteous,and its a natural reaction to look up at a neighbor to see if it's someone I know,or even nod my head or say hello. When I do, {or even if I just glance around out of curiosity and spot them},they turn their head the other way,or even make a face ,or tweak down their nose at you!!{unless they need you for something,or if you had a "fender bender" with them,and they feign an injury and want to make money from you,then they'll butter you up in a phony way.After they get the "need of the moment" from you, they'll "cast you into darkness" again.}I think also, they make scapegoats of you for their own bad feelings, like if they feel miserable because of problems{or a complex}they palm it off on you. Sooo....related to Biblical things, the fact that people didn't act this way in the past, does this tie in with statements like,"because of the increase of lawlessness, the love of the greater number shall wax cold." Or in 2 Timothy,"In the last days people shall be lovers of self"(snubbing you for self-centered reasons,like to boost their own ego, and make themselves feel better}{Also, "in the LAST DAYS people will be",could explain why 60 years ago people were nicer, less rude, less arrogant, as compared to now.Coincidence?I somehow don't think so.

I agree. Rude people are the worst. I was raised with manners in the home. I get very frustrated with people who do not have manners. Some do not know better. Of course, I forgive rude people . But if I notice they are repeatedly rude and do not take other people into consideration I walk the other direction and keep walking. I also agree that people butter people up in a phony way and when they do not get their way they are rude. This is a horrible quality as well. I raised my son to be polite. I think the problem is that parents are too selfish to teach manners to their children. They do not take the time. Everyone acts like the 2 Timothy scripture. Pray for them. That is about all you can do. If you say , "didnt your mother teach you any manners?" it does not help.

 

[Matthew01]

I agree!

Prayer Focus: God I ask in Jesus' name let every member of this prayer site or anyone who comes on this prayer site treat each other with respect, love, and appreciation. God let everything each one of us do be done decently and in order for the glory of God. Let us not be rude to one another. Let us not give the devil any opportunity to be used in our lives (evil or ugly behavior). Let our words and prayers be an encouragement to those who come here. Let us all be tenderhearted toward each other, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven each of us. Amen, so be it in Jesus’ name.

I agree. Its not getting any better only worst. Nowadays its also the kids being taught to be rude and disrespectful to adults and their teachers.
