If nations weren't important, God wouldn't have created them.

LOL

God is another myth.

The ruling class created nations and borders.

God is spirit. God is something we can not comprehend. Big bang theory, something out of nothing, and poof!!

I don't know what you're trying to say. F God and F the Big Bang.

We exist, at this brief moment, on this small planet, at this size, small enough to be humble, big enough to be complex - and our consciousness (spirit?) is both too limited to know and understand everything much less what we can even perceive - including our own over-complex consciousnesses and their interactions. I can live with not knowing. Many people cannot. And many people make up and pass down stories to cover that up and provide comfort as well as weaponize it for social discipline-stability and/or power and control.

My mind is eternally trapped within my body paradoxically. I don't need a soul or spirit to bridge between them. The two are real and more than enough to manage without complicating it with extra shit when we also have the diverse external world and all of its internal motivations to deal with.

Literally what Yeshua preached.

Maybe I'm the next JC?

But still. Fuck the "spirit" and the "soul" and over-complicating things with all this woo. My neighbour is always talking about "soul" (not religiously but spiritually), the one who fell, and it's beyond tedious and no longer comical. It's the noise of a feedback loop that interrupts everything.

Well Talmudic rabbis think you have a lower soul than a cow. Soul is spirit, it is the potential goodness in everyone had they followed Christ or in my opinion the Father's teachingsof love.

Most people don't read the new testament but if they did and thought about it all on a spiritual revolutionary perspective they might think differently about Christianity and what Jesus really wanted, which is lacking entirely in all religions. If you were to mix the action of Christ with the self-renouncement (minus the gold shrines of Buddhism and hinduism) of ego in Buddhism, then your following "The Way." Which means to be a disciple to truth in the present moment, always and to never, ever worry.

I don't care what rabbis think, nor about souls or spirits.

A mind may be temperamental and psychology a new science, but that's the better way to approach people who may or may not exude "goodness".

Love is too extreme and drives Christian people into hypocrisy because they just can't.

Zen Buddhism, which is basically existentialism with some Tao (a basic fundamental philosophy) and dogma on top, doesn't demand that you love everyone, even the unlovable. It simply asks for compassion (understanding, sympathy, fairness, justice). To me that's FAAAAR more realistic.

" Which means to be a disciple to truth in the present moment, always and to never, ever worry. "

I do my best, but often wonder if it's enough, and I'm perpetually haunted by regrets.

If nothing else, Yeshua's words are the truth and no other religion has spoken them in full.

I wouldn't go so far as to even say it's in full, otherwise there'd be no confusion. Both Jesus and Buddha, among others, taught great things - and people haven't learned not to corrupt them.

God didn't. This world is controlled by Satan. He is the prince of this world, that is why Yeshua refused Satan's temptation. Nations exist due to various factors but God is a globalist in that he cares about all of his brothers in all nations. I would help people of any race or color and preach the word of God to all peoples. That does not mean God is against nations or for them. Just that the worldly beliefs of people who say that God condones a nations actions or its people or bestows some sort of rights to this piece of land or that socialism is anti-Christ (it's not) or that capitalism is pro-Christ (it's not), is, in my opinion unscriptural. God and Yeshua are not of an ism.
