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

Your opinion on them

if they stray from God they are wrong

Tradition holds we must protect our people first

whose tradition

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

That verse relates to this one

@Vilhelmsson where is it located

James 2:1

Yep

James 2:1 echoes 2:9

Again it's referring to individuals

Not cohorts

So we can ostracize and exclude when a group of people seeks to worship or seek aid?

just because its not one person

Nationalism defends Christianity, it does not obstruct itm

So having partiality, or respect, is not a transgression unless it relates to the "faith of our Lord Jesus Christ".

I see that you didnt read James 2 at all

I asked a man I trust about the verse you posted.

Believers in Christ cannot show favoritism

that is what James 2:1 is about

nationalism is inherently combative to christian virtue

No, it's not
