That is the selfish way. Its tantamount to refusing to tossing a life preserver to someone who is drowning
We should always extend a hand when needed.. The issue is when the hand is continuously extended after being refused...
Not everyone wants to learn to swim<shrug>

Two passages come to mind... I should remember them more often as they apply to your comment.
[Jesus said:] Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces. Luke 9:5
[Jesus said:] And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them. Matthew 7:6

But yet you are compelled to continue to gather that dust.

No they don’t. Some prefer to drown. Its tragic.
Still, this section is not for trolling about Christianity, Islam, Buddhism or any other religion

Man retains the free will to accept or reject God's great gift.
The Bible clearly teaches that death is the end of all opportunities to receive God's pardon and salvation through faith in Jesus' substitutionary atonement/death and resurrection.
Hebrews 9:27 tells us that we live one life, then die, and face judgment. As long as a person is alive, he has a second, third, fourth, fifth, etc., chance to accept Christ and be saved (John 3:16; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 16:31).
The solution is to learn to live with an extended hand.

Nothing like being late to the party 🤷♂️
But I’ve pulled the hand back on some. God says to turn away from one’s such as these, and it’s because they become a distraction.

Those we should avoid are not the unsaved sinners, but those who falsely present themselves as the most godly of the redeemed, and worm themselves into leadership positions, although they produce no fruit.
2nd Timothy 3:5:
"They will act religious, but they will reject the [spiritual] power [of the Holy Spirit] that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!"
These are the false religious leaders whose only joy was in ruling over other men, those whom Jesus rejected as ungodly men who deliberately projected a false pious external image to maintain their religious authority. Jesus called them "white washed sepulchers with dead men's bones inside;"
Matthew 23:27 -
"Woe to you, teachers of the law, Scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.
Jesus never rejected humble sinners.
Rest for the Weary Matthew 11:28-30
28 "Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
(Also read Luke 10:21–24)

Yeah it’s not a humble sinner I’m referring to but a bonafide prideful monster who is a classic thief and has openly stated “I don’t want to be good, I’m not going to be good, you can’t make me”. That’s my wonderful stepson.😭😭😭

Well, I would look upon that as a bonafide challenge, Marty.

God has declared Himself by creation itself, and my evil stepson is openly defiant. He’s 46 years old and I have no desire to interact with him anymore whatsoever.
