The Christian religion is not confined to a piece of ground or place on a map. A pilgrimage back to a point of origin is not required of any of us to be saved.

True but it sucks the barbarians have taken control of Jesus’s birthplace and are driving fellow Christians out of their homes.

When ground is being taken away from you, literally STOLEN, the thieves aren’t going to ever stop until YOU are gone(hence the Crusades).

That is one of the beauties of the Christian faith, unlike the Muslims who REQUIRED it of their believers in order to bow and worship that moon-rock in Mecca.

Amen!

Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

John 4:21-24

amen!
Our God is alive and dwells within us, so there is no need to hold on to rocks to remember Him

But having said that I would dearly love to go to Israel and see where He walked the earth in Human form. I am excited that I will be in Jerusalem with Him someday when He begins His reign!

Agreed. But what is being told about in this article is persecution and oppression of Christians. We should be pressuring our government to speak out about that (at the very least).

That's true, and there's no doubt, but I gotta hunch we're still gonna go in and remove the islime stink from those places.

It's just the right thing to do ....................... FRegards
