chimaobinelson:

with due respect all this ur findings are reason why u must cherrish the gospel as Truth.
remember its a written account of what had happened by different people, and not what few people stay at one confinement and putup hence dea different reports dint have to tally word to word. E.g, mathew may say, "judas bought a land with d proceed before he killed himself" Acts said "thoze elders were the ones that bought the land" .the truth a man of wisdom should decipher is "A land was bought, which has alot to do with judas and his betrayal proceed".!!
Again, Yes paul said "the twelve" witness Jesus reappearance,u forgot d appostles replaced judas with som1 else "Mathias".
Please bro,i dnt know u or what u plan to achiev with all these, but for ur life sake "DONT ARGUE THE BIBLE" !!!

How can this be a pilgrimage to Israel when virtually all the cities there are Palestinian cities? At times the way many Christians behave ehn?

Bethlehem is a Palestinian city with a Muslim majority and Christian minority population. The mayor is a Christian Arab.

Nazareth, though occupied by Israel is an Arab city with Muslims making up the majority.

Hebron also is a Palestinian city.

Jericho is also a Palestinian city.

Really wish Nigerian Christians should open their eyes to see the monster the State of Israel is.

Before any Nigerian Jew shit on my head, check it out before I fall Ya hands.

Christians have no feud with Jews. Judaism and Christianity are similar religions but different.

Jesus never existed. Religion is manmade but God isn't.

Besides, according to the bible, Jesus had a hair of wool and skin of bronze, therefore, he was black and had an Afro of some sort. Then why are Christian publications portraying him as white?

Why is the OP's first pic showing he was white with white parents?

In addition, it wasn't till a couple years ago did scientists model what Jesus would have looked like based on human remains from locations where Jesus would have lived. So, in whose likeness did they make those statues and images in the OP's post?

Religion is for mind control / power and wealth monopoly. Don't be fooled!

For those that are slow, I'm not stating there's no God. I'm only stating man has formed avenues to access God. Religion is one of such avenues.

When was Jesus born?

According to Matthew, Jesus was born during the reign of Herod the Great (Matthew 2:1 ). According to Luke, Jesus was born during the first census in Israel, while Quirinius was governor of Syria ( Luke 2:2 ). This is impossible because Herod died in March of 4 BC and the census took place in 6 and 7 AD, about 10 years after Herod's death.

Some Christians try to manipulate the text to mean this was the first census while Quirinius was governor and that the first census of Israel recorded by historians took place later. However, the literal meaning is "this was the first census taken, while Quirinius was governor ..." In any event, Quirinius did not become governor of Syria until well after Herod's death.

Where was Jesus Born?

Both Matthew and Luke say that Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Matthew quotes Micah 5:2 to show that this was in fulfillment of prophecy. Actually, Matthew misquotes Micah (compare Micah 5:2 to Matthew 2:6 ). Although this misquote is rather insignificant, Matthew's poor understanding of Hebrew will have great significance later in his gospel.

Luke has Mary and Joseph travelling from their home in Nazareth in Galilee to Bethlehem in Judea for the birth of Jesus (Luke 2:4 ). Matthew, in contradiction to Luke, says that it was only after the birth of Jesus that Mary and Joseph resided in Nazareth, and then only because they were afraid to return to Judea ( Matthew 2:21-23 ).

In order to have Jesus born in Bethlehem, Luke says that everyone had to go to the city of their birth to register for the census. This is absurd, and would have caused a bureaucratic nightmare. The purpose of the Roman census was for taxation, and the Romans were interested in where the people lived and worked, not where they were born (which they could have found out by simply asking rather than causing thousands of people to travel).

JUDAS!

Thirty pieces of silver
According to Matthew 26:15 , the chief priests "weighed out thirty pieces of silver" to give to Judas. There are two things wrong with this:

a. There were no "pieces of silver" used as currency in Jesus' time - they had gone out of circulation about 300 years before.

b. In Jesus' time, minted coins were used - currency was not "weighed out."

By using phrases that made sense in Zechariah's time but not in Jesus' time Matthew once again gives away the fact that he creates events in his gospel to match "prophecies" he finds in the Old Testament.


Who bought the Field of Blood?
a. In Matthew 27:7 the chief priests buy the field.

b. In Acts 1:18 Judas buys the field.



How did Judas die?

a. In Matthew 27:5 Judas hangs himself.
b. In Acts 1:18 he bursts open and his insides spill out.

c. According to the apostle Paul, neither of the above is true. Paul says Jesus appeared to "the twelve" after his resurrection. Mark 14:20 makes it clear that Judas was one of the twelve.
In Matthew 19:28 , Jesus tells the twelve disciples, including Judas, that when Jesus rules from his throne, they will sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

---

How did the Field of Blood get its name?

a. Matthew says because it was purchased with blood money ( Matthew 27:6-8 ).

b. Acts says because of the bloody mess caused by Judas' bursting open (Acts 1:18-19 ).

A Nigerian lady identified as Toyosi Akerele-Ogunsiji who is currently on a pilgrimage in Israel has shared her experience (backed up with photos). Read below

I came to see Jesus, the Author and Finisher of my Faith. I also came to learn about the long running Israel Palestine Conflicts and the history of this super interesting region. We'll be here for 8days visiting Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, Hebron, Negev, Sderot, Ramallah, Haifa and Jericho.

I've seen the Birthplace of Jesus (The Church of the Nativity) in Bethlehem and his Crucifix and Tomb (The Holy Sepulchre) in Jerusalem. Visited the Aida Refugee Camp and others in the West Bank and will see the Israeli Palestinian Borders. Jesus, Take this Wheel over.

ThinkSmarter:
Even the Bible made it clear that Isreal don't have original land of their own.
All the land, they are occupying is ceased land.
From their exodus from Egypt, they started confronting and conquering Palestinians like Jericho and the rest of them.
These all happened because God was with them.
And He[God] is the one that promised them that land.
The promise was made to Abraham [Ibrahim ], their great grandfather.
At a time, the Jews and Arabs lived side by side.
Till Isreali declared war and started conquering and ceasing lands.
From the way they [Isrealis]defeated the Arab states of Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon during the Isreal/Arab war, it tells much that surely God is with them.
The Isrealis will continue to have dominion over Palestinians as far as the Lord is still with them.

sonnie10:


Is Palestine a state? Who granted them statehood? The land they forcefully occupied is being taken back.

Whatever one scrapes from the corner of the pot, ends in the corner of the mouth.

DirewolfofStark:



These are places that the Arabs forcefully took over because the Jews who rightfully own these places had been driven out of Judea which is their homeland.

Bridget95:
Believe it or not the holy Jewish state of Israel owns and have absolute control over those places up to the river Jordan. The holy city of Jerusalem is about to be home to the US embassy.

Demmzy15:
The Jews were driven out 70AD, how does that concern the Palestinians who were descendants of the Jews who remained there when others left?

DirewolfofStark:


Palestinians are not the descendants of the Jews who remained. They do not speak Hebrew or Aramaic, they speak Arabic. They are the descendants of the Arabs who began mass migrations into parts of the Arabian Peninsular and the whole of North Africa.

Statsocial:

so how come they bear Jewish names

Do you know the difference between Hebrew and Jewish?! All the above cities have different names, depending on the habitants. The Canaanites gave it names, the Israelites also did and so did Arabs. The cities have Arabs names and that's what Arab Christians call it, Arab Christians don't call it Jericho but "Ariha"

Jerryojozy:
Don't mind that poster. Make him go give Palestine the land na. Israel only mistake was the tribes that didn't destroy the inhabitants totally. Trump let's move US embassy to Jerusalem. I'm a Christian and am not ashamed of my faith.

Demmzy15:
1. The Palestinians were not responsible for the driving out of Jews from Palestine, so you have no right to kill, maim and displace them.

2. No doubt that there were Arabs but majority are Jews and Christians who remained. Greek was spoken in Egypt when Muslims came in and today, that's no more. Syria was part of the Roman/Byzantine Empire and today that's non-existent, so language isn't a case you can drag about.

3. The Samaritans who are descendants of Jacob through Joseph, they're majority Muslims today.

#Stop supporting Israel!

k9ine:
Well for your info Palestine was the name given to that area by the Romans when they conquered it.

The British chose to call the land they mandated Palestine, and the Arabs picked it up as their nation's supposed ancient name, though they couldn't even pronounce it correctly and turned it into Falastin a fictional entity." — Golda Meir quoted by Sarah Honig, Jerusalem Post, 25 November 1995

Palestine has never existed . . . as an autonomous entity.

There is no language known as Palestinian.

There is no distinct Palestinian culture.

There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, etc.

Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9 percent of the Middle East lands. Israel represents one-tenth of one percent of the landmass.

But that's too much for the Arabs.

They want it all. And that is ultimately what the fighting in Israel is about today . . . No matter how many land concessions the Israelis make, it will never be enough. — from "Myths of the Middle East", Joseph Farah, Arab-American editor and journalist, WorldNetDaily, 11 October 2000

How Did the Land of Israel Become "Palestine"?
In the First Century CE, the Romans crushed the independent kingdom of Judea. After the failed rebellion of Bar Kokhba in the Second Century CE, the Roman Emperor Hadrian determined to wipe out the identity of Israel-Judah-Judea. Therefore, he took the name Palastina and imposed it on all the Land of Israel. At the same time, he changed the name of Jerusalem to Aelia Capitolina.

The Romans killed many Jews and sold many more in slavery. Some of those who survived still alive and free left the devastated country, but there was never a complete abandonment of the Land.

[s]There was never a time when there were not Jews and Jewish communities, though the size and conditions of those communities fluctuated greatly.

DirewolfofStark:

All the historical evidence points to Israel being the aboriginal inhabitants of the land. All the ancient artifacts and historical relics speak of a Jewish past, so the modern day nation of Israel is built on the foundations of the Ancient Kingdom of Israel. The same Kingdom mentioned in the Torah and the Old Testament.

Samaritans are pagan half-Jews who betrayed what true Judaism represents to become idol worshippers.

Israel's foundation in 1948 marked an important milestone in Biblical Prophecy and all true Christians celebrate it.

Demmzy15:


What happened to the people of Canaan who lived there before? Are you aware of artifacts discovered which belongs to people who lived there thousands of years before the Jews?



Call them whatever you want, are they descendants of Joseph or not?



Fooolish prophecy which displaced your fellow Palestinian Christians. Please read about George Habbash!


Proudly pro Palestine!

Where was your God when Europeans were slaughtering the Jews for more than 1000 years? Where was your God when the Nazi killed 6 million Jews? Was Israel in existence then? I need you answer this questions.

The Arab States aren't as broken as those years, you saw how Egypt surprised Israel in 1973 to the extent Israel thought they had been defeated not until America sent in supplies. Without the help of America, Israel is a dead meat and know that America won't always be there.
