Why do Pagans walk in the Holy land now & Christians have to wait?

Question

I am neither, just wondering.

Sacred & Holy are the same thing. Who said the Holy land is in one spot?

Seems as if most are missing the point.

This idea of a Holy land being only in one place, oh man, it's worst than I thought. Black Elk could give a answer that may enlighten.

Prairiecrow:Thanks for the input, I really had no idea this question would be misunderstood. All due to a mistaken "belief" that the Holy or Sacred land is only in the near east.

Prairiecrow: Thanks again. There are so many that fail to live in the truth of what is because of misinformation.

LadysSuri: I agree that everyone walks in the Holy land now, that is the point I was trying to make, but due to large scale conditioning larger than I thought, I was misunderstood, as far as there being a higher or lower, I have been to the mountain top and we are all one. It's just that not many people know this. Thank you.

Answer 1

They're not Pagans -- they don't belong to a non-Abrahamic religion. Christians, Jews, and Muslims are all, in the broadest sense, the non-Pagan religions.

Next time, you might want to do some research on what a word actually means before you use it.

EDITED TO ADD: We didn't miss the point. You phrased your question badly. Want to try again?

EDITED TO ADD, PART TWO: Okay, let me try to answer the question you got around to clarifying, as best I can understand it.

Neo-Pagans walk in a world that is holy because to us, there is no separation from the Divine -- in fact, for pantheists and panentheists the universe itself is the body of God/dess. No separation is possible. The Divine is all around us, in every breath we take and every beat of our heart.

Christians, in contrast, live in a world that is "fallen" and separate from God -- or at least, many of them do. Even their "Holy Land" is not sacred in the sense that the world all around us is to your average Neo-Pagan. Therefore, they have to wait to get to Heaven, or to have Christ return to Earth, before they achieve that level of sacredness in the world around them.

Answer 2

By the holy land you mean over in the Middle East? Muslims and Jews are not Pagans.

Answer 3

Every one walks in the Holy Land now. Are you suggesting pagans are lower than Xtians?

Edit: You had me worried there for a second. Peace :-)

Answer 4

It is the apple of God"s Eye,so don"t apoligize.
There is a Day comming that no Pagan,nor unbeliever will Walk
on Temple Mount.The two Mosque will not be there.Jerusalem

the Islamic watchers, that are there now,are watching the Jew to
see if His lips are moving,can"t Pray there,

Answer 5

There are not many pagans over there. Muslims, and Jews are very religious people and cannot be called pagans. Boy you need to spend the rest of your life at that one - school!

Answer 6

Exactly what are you talking about? I'm Pagan; I haven't heard of this.

Though if it's true, it may just be because we're about the only group left that doesn't have a dog in that particular hunt.

Answer 7

Wait for What?? Planes go there also! We live here, not there.They come here to get away from the hard core fights over there and to obtain an education to take back home, or, stay here.

Answer 8

Where exactly are we walking???

What holy land is this???

Is it near Stone Henge?

Answer 9

You can go there and walk in peace as long as you are not an American or Jew

Answer 10

Mainstream Christians get to decide who are heretics, heathens and pagans, what gives them this right???
