This is not the work of the holy spirit, you are being led directly by the devil and the archons in their plot to make people hate and torment each other and distract us while they keep us trapped under their control and use us to fuel their sadistic urges.

Early Christians like Paul said they became a slave to everyone so that they could win as many as possible. You on the other hand shut the gates of the kingdom, you yourself do not enter and block anyone else who wants to, like the Pharisees. You only care about yourself and your petty victory and would delight at seeing your enemies burn forever. And you are proud! This is pure hatred and cannot be from the same god. Look out, because the only one you can condemn is yourself. Stop listening to the archons who want you to bring this judgement upon yourself so they can say you are indebted to them. Any debt you have is paid off, as is everyone's. Understand this and stop demanding vengeance and repaying evil with evil. No one can ever be justified by their own works, because they are all evil. If you try going this route you will undoubtedly fail, and that's exactly what the archons want. And they also want you to abandon the gracious gift for it so you can have revenge, but do not be tricked because justice will be served on you too.

I'm not sure what you're on about but it has no relationship to anything in the Christian religion.

It has everything to do with it. The fact that you don't even recognize it is not a good sign at all. Have you ever studied Jesus for yourself? Or do you just listen to whatever the televangelists tell you? They mostly want your money and power over you, or are themselves deceived. Or is it politics that defines Christianity for you? That's another common one lately. If you're being led by other people you are not being led by the spirit.

Jesus said love your neighbour. This seems to be widely misunderstood, despite Jesus making himself clear in the parable of the Good Samaritan.

The Good Samaritan is quite the opposite. A Samaritan helped a Jew, who even to this day hate each other. "This is your neighbor" is more likely to mean that the Samaritan is being a neighbor by loving his enemy, not that the Jew only had to love the Samaritan, especially since the final remark is "do likewise". Also important to note, this parable is questionable since it does not appear in any other gospel and is also not in Marcion's authentic version of Luke, so if your interpretation is correct it's more likely to be a rewrite by Polycarp.

there is of course nothing wrong with organising a community along racial or religious lines.

The whole point of the Good Samaritan is that it is NOT by those lines.

You are NOT required to love random people next door you don’t know or people the government is bringing in to destroy your neighbourhood or whatever. They are not what is mean by your “neighbours”.

Yes you are. Even for a good person someone will rarely die, but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.

The Bible also calls for you to love your neighbour as yourself. This means that once you have decided someone is a member of your community, there should be some element of unconditionality to your wishing the best for them, just as you presumably want the best for yourself, even if you don’t always live up to your own standards.

Then what's even the point, if you can just pick and choose who you love? Don't even evil people already love those who love them?
