Do you really think that, as professed Christians, we should necessarily be seeking to put the welfare of our own nation first? What about the concern of a broader world that we claim to profess?
Since at least two world wars we have learned that globalism cannot be avoided. It is a global economy and we have global interests. With the complex interconnection of all issues I do not even know what a "America First" even means since every policy has unintended consequences.

In the Scriptures, I see that God Himself placed much value upon the nation of Israel. On the other hand, the globalism agenda of secularists humanism is a tool that is being used to continue the humanists march towards the global ruling class of elitists setting up dominion over the rest of the world.

How, exactly, does this in any way reduce the imperative that we are to put the needs of others ahead of our own needs? As a rich nation, surely the US, if a Christian model is to be followed, should in many cases be put in the interests of others first.
On the other hand, the globalism agenda of secularists humanism is a tool that is being used to continue the humanists march towards the global ruling class of elitists setting up dominion over the rest of the world.
What does this vague, alarmist claim even mean? Do you have any credible, concrete evidence that there is any such plot afoot?

Well, that is Hebrew scripture. We could expect such an Israeli interest.

And globalism isn't the problem but "secular humanism" is, especially atheistic infused.

My own view is that because we live in a pluralistic world with many religions or world views we need to live by values that can stand for themselves without the mandate of a particular religion.

"if a Christian model is to be followed" I think we need to be able to make a non-Christian , non-religious argument for helping other nations.

Have you seen the videos or done some reading about the World Economic Forum?
Also, if the USA puts other nations around the world first, then does that mean the interests of nations that are not our true friends would be more important than the American people?
