it's a devotion to national affairs
It's helping your people
your people are the heirs of Christ
you keep saying your people as if it has any value outside of Christ
Helping others when you cannot even help the millions poor and diseased already here is ridiculously unrealistic
Were there any Chruch Fathers who said you cannot love your wife above your other broters in Christ?
And contrary to the point of the verse
@Doctor Anon youre adding variables to claim it's unrealistic, the fact that you have to segment helping anyone who needs it by locale is exactly what im talking about
and helping the millions poor and diseased is not nationalist by virtue either
there are plenty of nationalist leaders who did not do that
Then they aren't nationalist
by your definition
Nationalist is caring for the people around you, and not focusing abroad until your own people are well
I will repeat myself
Were there any Church Fathers who said you cannot love your wife above your other brothers in Christ?
It's incredibly foolish to help others abroad when you have millions suffering right next to you
You internationally work together to help all who need it
gee
@Vilhelmsson I don't get what you're saying, but according to mr.pebble it's a sin to love your wife more than a migrant 15000 km away
what
the bible specifically talks about how to treat your wife
With kindness
As if does your neighbor
Kindness
Yes, but to show partiality towards her is a transgression, is it not?
do you know what partiality is based on
To value her above others.
no, to discriminate against for immutable traits you judge as wrong
that are present in other churchgoers
Define "discriminate "
you know what it means
if a black person walks in , a poor person walks in, a dirty person walks in
i cannot discriminate against them
i cannot be partial
for they are my coheir in christ
christianity is inherently internationalist
cooperative on a global level
attending to the impracticality of reach with cooperating with distant powers
You need to be smart about it tho
For example
