Is rudeness a sin?

I'm not a fan of rude people.And I'm not a masochist,either, so I don't like being mistreated by them.And nowadays, as 2 Timothy points out, people are getting worse.That being said,is rudeness a sin? Some sins are specified in the Bible, others we have to "look deeper" to see if they are. We don't find the word "rude" in the Bible, BUT Jesus DID say, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".Now I'm sure these people who treat others disrespectfully, and like garbage,they wouldn't themselves want to be treated like that. So isn't that a form of NOT doing unto others as you would have them do unto you?So when someone has a lifestyle of being rude{cutting the line, then getting mad at you if you don't like it, blasting the car horn 1/8 of a second after the light changes,{and other forms of impatience}talking to someone,and the other person is standing right next to the one they're talking to, yet they snub you, looking at them, and they either turn their head the other way, or close their eyes to avoid looking at you, or what I experienced in New York, maybe a bike messenger cutting you off when walking, then if you speak out on that, they either give you the finger, laugh at you, or even circle around to want to fight you--holding the door for their "clique", but you're right behind them and they let it slam on you--I've had problems with rude people for years--this attitude that"because you're a stranger, you're not important enough to be courteous to"--no, the Bible doesn't mention the word "rude" that I know of, BUT because this attitude of disrespect to others is a form of selfishness, and because they're not doing unto others as they would have them do unto them, if I were to answer that question, I would say rudeness is a sin.{"Because of the increase in inequity, the love of the greater number will wax cold".}

I don't think it is representative of Christ, no. That is the major issue and not to get political because I think he is done a lot of good things but President Trump's name calling etc like he does on Twitter and then talking about God the next minute to me isn't a good witness. Just my two cents. Wish he would tone the bullying stuff down. I realize many go after him too but when you are the President you are supposed to be a calming influence.

In Trumps case, though, you notice usually the other person says something about him first,he usually doesn't just off the top of his head throw barbs.Also, look at if Hillary Clinton got in--she was for abortion, gay marriage , and into the occult{claims she sought the spirit of a dead former first lady for guidance.{Elenore Roosevelt.}

Respectfully we aren't talking about Clinton though that was wrong as well, we are talking about the current President and firing back is not actually the Godly position. No, I don't think God expects us to be walked all over but God expects us to be humble and try to turn the other cheek. Trump getting on Twitter and calling people names like Pocahantas is spreading Jesus Name very well. This isn't about one's political preference, poor behavior is poor behavior.

Interesting how no one notices what his opposition does, like holding up a mock severed head probably scaring his 11 year old son,Madonna saying she felt like blowing up the White House,Robert Deniro cursing and saying he wanted to punch him in the face, etc.If people were reacting to me that way, I wouldn't exactly feel like shaking their hand and congradulating them for it either.

Yes but respectfully sir, you can't condone the behavior of one while giving the other a pass. That isn't actually fair. Both sides are to blame.

The original subject was about rudeness in general, , like people to other people. How Trump got into it...

I was just giving an example that's all. With all due respect it is obvious you are going to defend his behavior regardless of what he does. The issue is behaving more Christ like which we all need to work on but I don't excuse either side. If one child pulls another one's hair and the other one pulls theirs back, is that being Christ like? Nope. Take care sir.

Anything we do that is not of faith is a sin. Romans 14:23
But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.
We should try to produce the fruits of the spirit in our lives.
I don't like rude people either.

Rudeness comes from the devil because the devil want us all angry and full of rage. Jesus never ever said be rude to others so they will listen what you are saying. Whatever comes from your heart is what satan or Jesus has put in it. May the Holy Spirit lead you and those who are rude to others. Fast and pray for everyone you see around who are rude to others. They are so far away from the Lord. Kind words and smile comes from Jesus.
