"THE HOLY PILGRIMAGE TO ISRAEL IS NOT PART OF THE CHRISTIAN DIVINE MANDATE"

The New Testament Scriptures which is the foundation for the Christian faith or practices and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the central personality of the same Christian faith in his own words and teachings never commanded any Christian to perform any type of the holy pilgrimage to the state of Israel by visiting, praying or worshipping at those biblical historical sites in Israel. The holy pilgrimage to Israel is not one of the mandatory divine mandates or commands that must be observed by any human being in order for that person to be eternally saved and to fulfill the perfect will of God on earth.

This type of religious practice of today which has been introduced into the Christian faith is a direct form of scriptural heresy, idolatry or idol worshipping. To go to Israel for the holy pilgrimage does not make one a Christian, a superior Christian, a more anointed or a better Christian in all truth, honesty and reality. There are no single biblical traditions or precedences in the early Church and amongst the early Christians to support the practice of going on a holy pilgrimage to Israel as a required Christian service.

There are no documented records anywhere in the entire New Testament Scriptures that showed that the early Church visited or the early Christians were commanded to visit the physical birth place of Jesus Christ, the river where Jesus Christ was baptized, the Calvary mountain where Jesus Christ was crucified and the empty tomb of Jesus Christ after his resurrection from the dead. The God of the New Testament Scriptures by his divine attribute is omnipresent, the eternal salvation or the saving grace of Jesus Christ is freely available to mankind in any nation under the sun for the last 2,000 years and the religious holy pilgrimage to Israel is not part of the Christian faith.
