True Chistianity was Never Meant to Occupy Religious Lands

Reader comment on item: Leaving the Allah Delusion Behind
in response to reader comment: Muslims have no real claim on Jerusalem

Submitted by M Tovey (United States), Jun 2, 2022 at 18:51

Reader Prashant noted a qualification about Christianity's mission and whether there is the Christian claim on Christian monuments in Europe. There is no Scriptural mandate for Christianity to claim religious superiority over sacrosanct territories of any historical locations which have supposed connections to the spread of the Gospel.This is especially true when considering how Islam contends their replacement theology is the basis for building their places of worship in and over locatiions like the Sophia Hagia and other Byzantine structures left behind by abandoned religious efforts of history.
Christianity's mission was not innaugurated to conquer for the sake of the Gospel, but the true intentions as instructed by the Savior is the building up the body of Christ with new disciples in the love of God; leave the reclamation of the holy ground at the 'Temple Mount' to the returning Son of David, Yeshua just as He said He would. He seeks to occupy the hearts of men and women in spiritual accomodations, not in religious actions that will defeat anyone that tries to replace His WORD with the words of mere religious hypocrisy.
Seek His true Church by becoming one of His disciples.
