and an ultranationalism at the expense of another nation is transgressive too
National pride and the pride spoken of in the Bible is not of the same type.
@el pebble No it's not
Its simple; I'll help them when I help my people.
You say that except that doesnt happen
You can't help others if you yourself are poor of stability
You don't help others by nationalism
I'm helping millions
Nationalism is not being selfish
nationalist tendencies have yet to lead away from scapegoating elements, become hawklike etc
It's being smart
nationalism is not living in humility as the lesser
Good.
aka not good
Philippians 2 instructs us to live with Christ's humility
you are transgressing
Exact verse?
Philippians 2:3-4
Huh
Yeah I don't see how I'm violating those verses
Instead of each person watching out for their own good, watch out for what is better for others.
Philippians 2:4
I'm watching out for my people
your people are the coheirs of Christ in this world
He's speaking in terms of the individual
Not the cohort
that's the issue
nationalism naturally excludes people who don't subscribe to it
or who it doesn't cover
Those people are selfish
by your opinions
They care not for the people, millions, only care for individualism
that's subjective
i care for the people and i am an internationalist
Your people?
youre already showing partiality to people who don't subscribe to your doctrine
Or "the world"
my people are the coheirs in Christ
And what of non believers?
Those who blasphemy the name of God
they exist in your nation just as much as they exist in the world
