Have you ever known anybody, family or friend, who was so cold and dark and wicked inside that every time you talk to them, you come away feeling drained, or worse, completely empty inside?
All your joy, all your positivity, … all your light … is just sucked right out of you from even having a few minutes exchange with these people.
How do you suppose God would have Christians handle these types?
Personally, I believe certain people are beyond the "love 'em, pray for 'em & kill 'em with kindness" treatment. I believe some people are so depraved and so decidedly far from God that the best, most healthy, action for a Christian to take is to simply write 'em off.
Just cut 'em off and part ways with them to protect your own faith and sanctification.
After all, God did tell the Israelites to have nothing to do with the surrounding peoples that worshiped demon gods and had zero love for the Almighty. He said nothing about evangelizing them. I believe this was for their own spiritual safety.
