When we shouldn't "help" someone

Sometimes I have situations{and I guess some of you have , too}where someone asks me to do something for them that actually ENABLES them in their sin, and I don't think it goes under the heading of "helping" them.Like, I've had people who were maybe a little under the weather and asked me to get them cigarettes.I've even had a neighbor hooked on drugs whose car was in the shop and wanted me to take him to his dealer to get his "fix",or lend him money to get the drugs!!I had women who asked me to mail something supporting abortion.Now the question is,although we're supposed to "help", define help.If we're making it easier for them to engage in a certain sin,is that really helping them?And is it good for us, spiritually, to assist them in their sin?I say, although we "help" I don't think that making it easier to participate in a certain sin is "helping " them, or our spiritual walk.Wouldn't it be better to pray them out of it?What if the Rapture is after the Tribulation,and an old neighbor who gave up their drivers license asks us to take them to the center to get the mark of the beast?Is that "helping" them? I say we use judgement.Does "helping" someone mean we're obligated to assist someone in their sin?I say no, but you say?
 
Whatever you do, do it for the glory of the Father. If someone is in need, help them. If someone is in drugs or is an alcoholic, take them to a drug rehab or Alcoholic Anonimous.
 
Hello Steven bobb, when you said, "I've even had a neighbor hooked on drugs whose car was in the shop and wanted me to take him to his dealer to get his "fix",or lend him money to get the drugs"!!

Do not do this, if you are driving someone and they have drugs, and a cop pulls you over for any reason and finds the drugs, you are going to jail with the person, unless they are truthful and say the drugs don't belong to you. This happened to a neighbor of mine, and the person he was driving would not help him out with the truth. My neighbor was fined and spent 3 months in jail. Be careful who you drive around. God bless
Exactly what I mean. There are times when "helping" someone could actually hurt you,and spiritually is actually more sinful to aid them in their sin.I say we use judgement, not just jump in and help everyone with everything at any time.
