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

Favoritism

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

Foreign Aid doesn't help

Rarely if ever does it help

not the way its handled no it doesnt help

The issue I find is that, since the wife or family member, your born parents are given different status due to immutable virtues that they posess, beign your wife, your parents, and you cna discriminate based on this in favor of them. Then the same applies the farther we distance ourselves from that nucleus. Essentially creating a massive extended family where the importance of people gts lesser. the issue is that through discrimination i do not place lesser value on someones life, however rather it applies to their worth towards you and your group. God does not forbid us from creating nations and working in such a way, god did not create us with in group bias so that we could simply throw that away.

The church might be international however why should its doctrines apply to the people to force them into misery because they cannot discrimiante and form an enviorment that is best for them? By forcing people to not discriminate we inevitably lower the enviorment for everyone and deny people the right to say who they want to live next to. This is a false sense of equality of worth. All life is equally valuable however not all life is equally worthy to each member withing a group.
