Nationalism is not being selfish

2018-11-25 17:52:00 UTC  

nationalist tendencies have yet to lead away from scapegoating elements, become hawklike etc

2018-11-25 17:52:02 UTC  

It's being smart

2018-11-25 17:52:18 UTC  

nationalism is not living in humility as the lesser

2018-11-25 17:52:35 UTC  

Good.

2018-11-25 17:52:50 UTC  

aka not good

2018-11-25 17:52:59 UTC  

Philippians 2 instructs us to live with Christ's humility

2018-11-25 17:53:06 UTC  

you are transgressing

2018-11-25 17:53:15 UTC  

Exact verse?

2018-11-25 17:53:23 UTC  

Philippians 2:3-4

2018-11-25 17:53:41 UTC  

Huh

2018-11-25 17:55:37 UTC  

Yeah I don't see how I'm violating those verses

2018-11-25 17:55:58 UTC  

you are not considering yourself lesser to anyone by being nationalist

2018-11-25 17:56:02 UTC  

Instead of each person watching out for their own good, watch out for what is better for others.
Philippians 2:4

2018-11-25 17:56:14 UTC  

I'm watching out for my people

2018-11-25 17:56:23 UTC  

your people are the coheirs of Christ in this world

2018-11-25 17:56:27 UTC  

He's speaking in terms of the individual

2018-11-25 17:56:30 UTC  

Not the cohort

2018-11-25 17:56:50 UTC  

that's the issue

2018-11-25 17:57:26 UTC  

nationalism naturally excludes people who don't subscribe to it

2018-11-25 17:57:44 UTC  

or who it doesn't cover

2018-11-25 17:58:09 UTC  

Those people are selfish

2018-11-25 17:58:23 UTC  

by your opinions

2018-11-25 17:58:28 UTC  

They care not for the people, millions, only care for individualism

2018-11-25 17:58:48 UTC  

that's subjective

2018-11-25 17:58:53 UTC  

i care for the people and i am an internationalist

2018-11-25 17:59:33 UTC  

Your people?

2018-11-25 17:59:34 UTC  

youre already showing partiality to people who don't subscribe to your doctrine

2018-11-25 17:59:38 UTC  

Or "the world"

2018-11-25 18:00:04 UTC  

my people are the coheirs in Christ

2018-11-25 18:00:30 UTC  

And what of non believers?

2018-11-25 18:00:38 UTC  

Those who blasphemy the name of God

2018-11-25 18:00:46 UTC  

they exist in your nation just as much as they exist in the world

2018-11-25 18:00:54 UTC  

Your opinion on them

2018-11-25 18:01:08 UTC  

if they stray from God they are wrong

2018-11-25 18:01:24 UTC  

Tradition holds we must protect our people first

2018-11-25 18:01:29 UTC  

whose tradition

2018-11-25 18:01:32 UTC  

"1. My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons."

2018-11-25 18:01:44 UTC  

That verse relates to this one

2018-11-25 18:01:58 UTC  

@Vilhelmsson where is it located

2018-11-25 18:02:12 UTC  

James 2:1
