1: Why is Palestine called the Holy Land?

Question

-Because it is where Jesus lived and died.

-Because it is where the Bible was written.

-Because it is where Mohammed lived and died.

-Because it is where the Koran was written.

Answer 1

All of the above

Answer 2

Actually, none of them are really accurate, but the statement that "it's where Jesus Lived and Died" is the closest. Mohamed never set foot in the Holy Land.

The Bible was NOT written entirely in the Holy Land. For example, tradition dictates that Moses wrote the first five books, which would require him to have written them in Egypt and during the 40 years in the dessert.

Most of the New Testament was written in various Roman cities outside the Holy Land.

The Holy Land is the setting for much of The Bible. It is also the land that was promised to Abraham and his descendants by God.

Finally, The Holy Land is not just limited to Palestine. Most of the area currently occupied by the nation of Israel is "The Holy Land." This is not coincidence, as many in Israel want it's borders to reflect the lands outlined in The Bible as the Jewish Birthright.

Whoever wrote the original multiple choice question is either ignorant and lacking a real understanding of what they're talking about, or trying to push an agenda. Perhaps both. I'd have to see more of the test to be sure.

Answer 3

Originally, the area called Palestine was called Israel. This was the land promised to the Israelites when they were enslaved by the Egyptians. After they fled Egypt and crossed the Red Sea, they started worshipping idols, were punished by God for 40 years because of the idolotry, and were then allowed into their promised land. Eventually, Jesus Christ was born in Bethlahem, and died on Calvary. For the record, Mohammed was born in Saudi Arabia, and the Koran was written there, too. That didn't happen in Palestine.

Answer 4

The first two answers, especially the first (some of the Bible was written outside Israel), are the right ones. But as far as I know, Mohammed lived in the Arab Peninsula, and the Koran was written there too.

Answer 5

first of all, the Jews didn’t thieve something. The Ottoman Turks lost the conflict to the British. They lost, era, end of debate. No different position contained in the international is the right of conquest contested via a those who not in any respect had administration of the land they were squatting on contained in the first position. The Turks managed the land, not some mythical Palestinian state. They allowed stateless Arabs and Jewish farmers to stay there. The Turks lost the land to the British military less than Allenby in 1917. The British then (with the blessing of the UN) chop up the land between the Arabs and the Jews. The Arabs were given seventy 5% of the land as a state; this land is now pronounced as JORDAN! the last land grow to be to receive to the Jews. The Arabs, not in any respect satisfied with decrease than total administration of each thing, contested this. The British drew up a clean plan to split the last land 60/40 between a Jewish State and a 2d Arab state. The Arabs rejected this plan because it did not supply them total administration. because the Arabs would not compromise, Brittan went ahead with the unique plan and created Israel in ought to of 1948. immediately, 5 surrounding Arabs states attacked the fledgling state if Israel and ceased as a lot land as available. They inspired any Arabs residing on the Jewish land to quickly vacate so as that the Arab armies ought to brush in and wipe the Jews out with out problem for Arab casualties. maximum Arabs left, the vast majority with out ever seeing a unmarried Israeli soldier. opposite to the initial plan, Israel gained the conflict, and the Arabs did not in reality force them into the sea. This left 0.5 a million homeless Arabs, made refugees on the request of Arab states. it really is the position the Palestinians come from, refugees that Arab states refuse to absorb because they're well worth better to the reason as political refugees, than as voters of an Arab state. they're faraway from the first team made homeless via conflict; they’re purely the first that no man or woman needs to assimilate.

Answer 6

u will find that ur info is a bit wrong.the holy prophet Muhammad [saw]was not born and lived in palastine nither was the koran revealed to him there.however,most of the prophets belonged to the place now called palastine and israel.infact,nearly all the prophets before Prophet Muhammad[saw] belonged to that land.prophet jesus was born in that land and thats y it is holy 4 the christians.similarly,muslims have one of their most famous mosques,[masjid-e-aqsa] in there,thats y its holy 4 them too.and it is holy 4 da jews becoz it was the birth place of the prophet of jews who they reckon was the son of God.

so basically it is holy for the three most populus religions and thats y the followers of all these three faiths strife over the ownership of this land

Answer 7

all the other answers are probably correct but I would also say that it was the land they were promised for from abraham and because they were all descendants of him, they all, today, fight to revendict their heritage.
In other wordsm they are, as well the jews as the muslams, heirs. God promised this land to Abraham.
this land given by the hand of God became holy.
but we know today, by their disobedience of the commandments they will fight until JC comes back.
