Question

Qa'na is a holy place where Jesus performed his first miracle, and previously, just days before middle east cease fire, Israel has been bombing on the holy place Qa'na. Israel has fired many many bombs on Qa'na (the holy place of christians). Why are Christians Quite on this, their holy place is been destroyed by Israel and so is thier religion!
USA is a Christian country and it is too supporting the Israel Bombing on qa'na (the holy place).
Are Christians not worried about their Holy places where jesus has stayed or has performed his firs miracle? or are they not worried about their religion?

Answer 1

Thank you for bringing up this point. As a Christian, I was distressed immeidately upon finding out that such horrific bombing took place in Qa'na (or Cana as it is referred to in English language bibles). I do not venerate Qa'na as a "holy place," but nevertheless am concerned.

Answer 2

First things first. Me- I was born a Lutheran-Christian, but was never big on going to church. Or any form of organized religion. Personally, now, I am a non-denominational Minister. Meaning, that I have no preference for any specific faith. The closest thing you could call me would be a Freemason, but I'm not. I support any and all believes, so long as someone has that belief and does not force someone else to hear or be a victim of their views. That brings me to why America has not taken a defined or specifically spelled out action against the bombing of a christian holy place. In truth, yes, the US was founded upon many christian and/or catholic believes, but they can be applied to almost any belief because of the fact that they are merely morals to live by. And this country made laws, and defined it's own existance, on these morals. If you ever read the Constitution you'll notice that it only says "under God". And if you look closely to the very history of our country you'll see that in times of discontent, we have grown to accept all those of varying opinions.

God can be defined as the "Supreme Being" and he/she/it is the ultimate power. So when you say "under God" you accept that there is a power greater than you. The idea of Jesus being the embodiement of God tends to make people forget that he is far more powerful than you, and that any wars in his name are pointless.

Qa'na may be a holy place to christians, where Jesus performed his first miracle, but God performs more miracles every day. And you can see those miracles in the very things around you. You are alive and healthy (I assume). Why complain about a single holy place, enshrined by those who cannot see the entire world as the holy place it is. I won't mourn it's loss, except for the fact that it was lost during a needless time of strife.

We need to work towards building a better future for the entire world regardless of belief. Especially since history tells us that any "Holy War" only ends with those fighting, hastening their journey to the next life.

Answer 3

First, not all Americans approve of the actions of their own government, much less of Israel. Bear in mind, however, Hizbollah DID start the whole thing by crossing the border and attacking Israeli troops, just like Palestinian radicals started the Gaza action. Israel had withdrawn from tha Gaza strip, tearing down settlements and even temples. Although I personally condemn the death of innocent people, I also know that if someone came across OUR border and attacked American people our government would have done the same thing. One of the tactics used by guerilla fighters is to base themselves in the middle of large civilian populations, assuring any action taken will in all likelyhood kill many more innocent people than fighters. Thus even if they lose, they will win in the war of public opinion.

Also: America is NOT a Christian nation, we are a nation which allows freedom to practice ANY religion, or no religion at all, so the idea of a "Holy Place" has no "official" influence on the actions of our Government .

As to the Christian community, Christians in general don't place much emphasis on "Holy Places." Perhaps this is because of the early split between the Christian Jews and Gentile Christian converts and the Jews who did not believe Jesus was the Messiah.

All the "Holy Places" were controlled by the Jews, and Christians were not welcome, so the "Holy Places" were "off limits" to the early Christians and thus became less signifigant. .

Also, Christianity eventually became more of a Greco-Roman movement rather than a Jewish one, although at first most of the Christians were Jewish. This made these place even more remote and therefore less signifigant.

But as I said, many people in this country, even Jewish people, think Israel is often wrong. One Jewish friend of mine said,"Hey, Israel is just terrorists who have a country!"

What would be nice in Israel, as well as many other countries in the mideast, is to have a secular elected government rather than a religious one. Religion has its place, but I don't think it has a place in government!!!

Answer 4

Religion, for some, may be important according to places and sites. But for majority of Christians, places and sites don't hold water. We are concerned about Jesus and the gospel of salvation through Jesus. Let any body bomb anybody, That's the politician's worry. Not ours.

Answer 5

The bible says that wherever two or more are gathered in my name so shall i be also! I do not worry about holy places because they are not where you find GOD you find GOD thru the reading of his word and prayer. Israel has a right to defend herself just like any other country does. the USA defended herself after 9/11 and Israel is bombed daily It is about time they stood up for themselves!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

As much as losing the historical value of such a place is heartbreaking - i don't think it counts as a dent in anyone's spirituality. A relationship with god is with God - so it isn't affected by the destruction of a so-called "holy place". I'm not saying that "go ahead - mess it all up!" But the destruction of this kind of place is just as sad as the destruction of all greek and roman pagan monuments under Theodosius's rule. It's a part of our history that's being destroyed. Religion is not - or shouldn't be - affected by the destruction of something physical.

Answer 7

As a Christian, I can say that, Christianity is more about revering Jesus Christ than it is about revering a noted place or object. Most Christian sects are aimed towards the holy place that FOLLOWS earth rather than any "holy" place ON this earth.

Answer 8

Its Cana....and it was Hesb Allah rockets that struck the home of Jesus, Nazareth. And yes, I was appauled at that. Happy?

And another news flash slick...Christianity doesn't revolved around Cana. For you to say; their holy place is been destroyed by Israel and so is thier religion!, is grossly off base.

Answer 9

You don't understand Christianity at all. I will help you to understand. Our God is not bound to a "place." We focus upon Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Where he walked, lived, performed miracles is all irrelevant and has no value to us. Our belief is not hindered by anything Man can do.

Bottom line: Jesus rose from the dead. He is the Son of God. Acknowledge Him, ask Him to forgive you, ask Him into your heart. He will answer you if you call to Him.

Answer 10

My Holy Place is my Soul. Jesus lives there. It is the soul of a person that is of upmost importance. The world could disapear for all I care.
