“The gospel of Jesus ought to meet the needs of the people in the life and circumstances where each lives; it should give expression to the latent aspirations in the national sub-conscience. Each people has its typical ways of feeling, its different aspirations. These peculiarities should … find expression in the religious life of the people. Here we find the real meaning of Christian nationalism.”
Cheong In-wa
The head of the Department for Religious Education of the Presbyterian Church of Korea, who famously attended the Eleventh World Sunday School Convention in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1932, where this declaration was put forth.
“We are made in God’s image. [As such] we should take the totality of both our Christian identity and our ethnic identity, perhaps in that order, but we are still recognizing our ethnic society.”
Dr. Alex Jun,
Coordinator of the Korean-American Leadership Initiative in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) defending the continued existence of Korean congregations
“The trend towards internationalism is a part of this desire to eliminate all differences, to say that the idea of having different cultures, different standards, different languages is altogether wrong, and so we must eliminate them, return men to supposedly their original one condition, a common language, a common culture, everyone the same; and at the same time we must abolish all differences. It is for this reason that the U.N. Charter declares that it is determined to save men. (Save men) from what (we might ask). From all inequalities and distinctions, and so it says that there must be no discrimination with respect to race, color, or creed. In other words, all religions must be abolished, as well as all races. And so the idea is of course a return to paradise.”
Dr. R. J. Rushdoony
Nakedness — Pocket College Lecture
Those who oppose what In-wa, Jun and Rushdoony are saying here are opposing Christian Nationalism and so are supporting ungodly Internationalism and in doing so oppose Christ and His Word.
Anti-tribalism, or Babelism, is not necessarily just a “Christian” phenomenon. Among the Buddhists, too, the feeling of pious indifference towards the fate of your flesh and blood was sometimes the ideal. The famous Hindu nationalist leader and writer V.D. Savarkar criticized Buddha for being indifferent about the destruction of his own native tribe – unlike Christ who shed tears for Jerusalem, and Apostle Paul who felt deep sorrow on behalf of his people:

“All these and many other shortcomings would not have attracted such fierce attention and proved fatal to Buddhistic power in India had not the political consequences of the Buddhistic expansion been so disastrous to the national virility and even the national existence of our race. No prelude to a vast tragedy could be more dramatic in its effect in foreshadowing the culminating catastrophe than that incident in the life of the Shakya Sinha, when the news of the fate of the little tribal republic of the Shakyas was carried to their former Prince when he was just laying the foundation stone of the Buddhistic Church. He had already enrolled the flower of his clan in his Bhikkusangha and the little Shakya Republic thus deprived of its bravest and best, fell an easy victim to the strong and warlike in the very life time of the Shakya Sinha. The news when carried to him is said to have left the Enlightened unconcerned.”
Some decades earlier, Robert L. Dabney had also noted with disapproval the Buddhist ideal of “holy indifference”:

“That is to say: the Buddhist saint, in order to he perfect, must make himself a cold, inhuman villain, recreant to every social duty. Such, indeed, their own history makes their chief “hero of the faith,” Prince Gautama, who begins his saintship by absconding like a coward, and forsaking all his duties to his wife, his son, his concubines, his parents, and his subjects.”
The anti-tribalism in church today is startling. When it comes to any kind of resistance against global-homo, the representatives are all like “our hands are tied”, “nothing we can do”, “cant preach against the public schools” yah yah yah.
When you suggest racial homogenization unbiblical, then you invoke their moral fervour. Find out they have all their arguments in line, “red, yellow, black, and white”, “all of one blood”.

Thanks for you posts on Mennonites. I like their practice of shunning those who marry out. That’s like my one requirement for any kind of covenantal participation. Confession: https://gameo.org/index.php?title=Dordrecht_Confession_of_Faith_(Mennonite,_1632)#XVII._Of_Shunning_the_Separated
