3. Those Who Unwilling to Take Responsibility
The Bible clearly distinguishes between those who cannot and those who will not.
Helping the needy is a commandment, but supporting the perpetually irresponsible contradicts divine wisdom.
Laziness is not always obvious. It often disguises itself as excuses, victimhood, or feigned inadequacies. Every bit of help they receive doesn’t propel them to rise up, but rather plunges them deeper into dependency.
Help that infantilizes doesn’t liberate; it enslaves. God seeks mature children, not eternally dependent ones.
4. People Who Generate Conflict and Division
There are people whose presence doesn’t build up, but rather creates disorder. Wherever they go, tensions, rumors, and constant confrontations arise.
Helping the habitually conflictive person gives them a bigger stage to continue sowing discord. The Bible teaches that, after repeated warnings, it is wise to distance oneself.
God is a God of order and peace. Withdrawing from someone experiencing conflict is not running away, but rather protecting one’s own and the community’s spiritual unity and health.
