nationalism doesn’t work for Christians

Here are two fundamental reasons nationalism doesn’t work for Christians: First, we believe in human dignity as described in Genesis and the creation story. Human beings are created in God’s image and to be treated with dignity and respect regardless of nationality, race or religion. Second, love of God is inextricably intertwined with love of neighbor. Jesus told us the Greatest Commandment was to love God, and the second was tied to it: love your neighbor as yourself. When asked to define neighbor Jesus told the story of the Good Samaritan, a foreigner of a different faith who showed hospitality. The neighbor is one who refuses to pass a foreigner by on the other side even when his own life is endangered by helping.

If it does not work why did God establish the nation of Israel, give it standards by which to conduct itself, and decree that all foreigners coming into the land had to live by those standards. It was when Israel became multi- cultural that it experienced its downfall.

It all depends on the intelligence of the interpreter.

Zechariah 14:1-2 New King James Version (NKJV)
The Day of the Lord
14 Behold, the day of the Lord is coming,
And your [a]spoil will be divided in your midst.
2 For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem;
The city shall be taken,
The houses [b]rifled,
And the women ravished.
Half of the city shall go into captivity,
But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

CORRECT, but we cannot
throw away our nation.
We are unable to feed/house/save
thousands of invaders at once,
no matter their race/religion, etc.
