Zone1 Christianity is being associated with nationalism and racism.

The answer differs from individuals and sects. My interpretation is Christianity encourages grace. It does not focus on hate and anger. One is still accountable for their actions. Christians help those in need.
These values are nt exclusive to Christians.

I think you've answered that. There are not "Christian values". Different parts of Christianity have their own values, and nothing seems to exist in all parts of Christianity.
 
I feel you are misinterpreting both.
The misguided idea that Joshua and the Israelites were motivated by the act of killing a people group. The conquest was more about ending the Canaanites' religious and cultural practices than ending their lives. The problem wasn't the people, but idolatry.
Then why did God separate people into separate nations?

I never claimed Joshua or the Israelites were motivated by the act of killing a group of people.

Yes the reason God commanded them to destroy the Canaanites was because of their barbaric practices and he didn’t want their cultural influence on the Israelites. But the culture and the poeople are inseparable so it was a command to kill the people.
 
So what a small group is not indictive of the whole like you try to claim. As for legal Immigration my brother-in-law can't get a visa while millions of illegals flood in and you are just fine with that right?
Y'all should have passed the Senate immigration border bill, it increased LEGAL immigration in it, then your in law might be able to get his green card?
 
You are mixing politics and Christianity. I feel tat is an insult to God.
I'm thinking that voting for infanticide my be a bit more of an insult to God, much like God was insulted by Christians voting for Nazis back in the day when they were engaged with genocide.

I say the Germans were better Christians, however, because at least the Nazis tried to hide the genocide from voters, so many did not know what was going on.

Conversely, Christians today see what Planned Parenthood is doing, along with selling body parts like the Nazis sold the hair of Jews and their gold teeth, and now voters are putting it into their state Constitutions to keep it a human vital right.

But that is just me.
 
He does care about the US. He cares about all countries.
In what ways? He cares about the oppressed but not the godless. He does care about the heathen and will eventually send missionaries to them as he will the Jews. Those that spurn Him, they will be swept to outer darkness.

The words 'all nations' appear in Matthew 28.19. They're sometimes translated 'all peoples', which is an accurate rendering of the Greek original, 'panta ta ethne'. So you're right if you're implying that his words don't mean 'countries' as we understand them now, and this isn't just talking about 'foreign missions'

And they didn't. They lived side by side with Canaanites for hundreds of years.

 
Your interpretation of Jesus, God and Christianity is different than mine. You seem full of anger and hate.
Sorry, you are the one. HE said "associated'. If you both want to be logical , the question to ask is, WHO is doing this associating?????????
 
the left is starting to ramp up attacks on those who represent the biggest obstacle to their overturning of individual rights .. Christians ..
“Christianity is being associated with nationalism and racism.”

And appropriately so.

The origins of conservative partisan evangelicalism and Christo-fascism were fundamentally racist, seeking to keep schools segregated and deny black students access to education.

They were successful... They were prosperous in metallurgy, mining and potter making. They paid tribute to Pharaoh and were guarded by Egyptian garrisons.

The Hebrews were landless Canaanites from Syria .. Abraham was from Urfa near Haran.
 
What are you tring to say?
As you were told time and again in High School English , DO NOT USE THE PASSIVE VOICE if you are only doing it to avoid any responsibility for assigning an actor. So too here. WHO IS DOING THE ASSOCIATING???
 
Principles of Fascism

When you call someone a fascist, you're commenting on their oppressive nature. But there's a lot more to the differences between fascism vs. communism or fascism vs. socialism. The principles of fascism include:

Anti-Neutralism - Fascists do not believe in seeing "both sides" or staying neutral; you're either with them or against them.

Anti-Union - Labor unions are illegal in fascist nations, and are replaced by government-controlled labor organizations.

Autarky (economic self-sufficiency) - Fascist countries reject both economic socialism and the free market of capitalism and prefer to be completely self-sufficient without relying on other nations.

Economic Regulation - The government controls economic activity. It allows private profit — as long as that profit benefits the state.

Far-Right Ideology - Fascism falls on the far right side of the political spectrum, favoring racial purity, religious fundamentalism and limited personal freedom.

Nationalism - Citizens must put the country before their own interests, and the nation puts its own needs before all other nations.

Social Hierarchy - Those in a fascist nation don't believe in equality. They believe that class conflict is important to maintaining order in the nation.

Strength - Fascist governments are militaristic, and they use violence and brutality to demonstrate their strength on the world stage.

Victimhood - The country sees itself as a victim of other nations' cruelty. It believes that it can do whatever is necessary to right the wrongs done by other nations.


Fascism is hard right totalitarian.
