What do you consider the definition of neighbor to be in the loving your neighbor as thyself commandment? People in your community, People in your nation, Other Christians in the world, All the people the world? I was thinking about this in conjunction with Matthew 25:31-46.

Everyone puts their own family before other families. This is healthy and natural and normal. You race is your extended family.

And how do you go about deciding how to allocate time, money and energy to help your neighbor? For example, do you ever expend some of these finite resources to outside your nation like say to help persecuted Christians in some other country?

God helps those who help themselves. If your own people are starving, homeless, struggling etc. Help them first.

How do you look upon evangelism as we are called to preach the gospel to all of Creation (Mark 16:15? How do you implement that idea with nationalism?

And with regard to helping others, how do
