Jerusalem is a place we have known about since before we can remember. It was a surreal experience walking the streets of the Old Town today, but it was also emotionally draining for many reasons. We explored as much as possible in one day including the Temple Mount, the Western Wall, Via Dolorosa, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Mount of Olives, and of course, we ate some delicious local foods. But for some reason, this place wasn’t like we pictured it being.
Israel is a very complicated place, so here are some of our favorite KZheadrs who explain the history much better than we can:

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the #travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this #travelvlog to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling! So we extended our 1 year trip to now FOUR years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before 2020! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
Jerusalem is golden from sunrise till sunset, from every point of view.

I would love to go some day. I can’t even imagine how emotional and spiritual it would be to be there in person. Beautiful video 💙

I’ve literally been binging your channel since the beginning of the pandemic. I was in a season of waiting on flight attendant training with United Airlines. Your channel kept me excited for my job, it kept me excited to see the world, excited to meet people and share joy with them. And I’m there now. I’m finally a flight attendant with United and finishing up binging your channel. I hope to meet y’all in the airport or on the plane one day. Thanks for sharing your joy and thanks for flying United when y’all do :)
I'm literally crying while watching your vlog I also want to go to Israel by God's grace I want to experience the most historical place in the whole world 🙏🙏❤️
Kate and Nate... A video you were so nervous about making is, in my opinion, one of the best you have ever put out. I have led five pilgrimages to Jerusalem (one is never a tourist but a pilgrim in the Holy Land) and I must say that you both showed the raw emotion and spiritual awareness that this great city brings. You did a wonderful job of showing the intersection of Islam, Judaism and Christianity. On my first visit to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre I felt exactly the same way you did and was told to do exactly what you suggested - return early in the morning - and the experience was totally different and caused me to look at the scriptures and my faith through new eye glasses. Very well done!
We found ourselves in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and had no idea what it was just that a lot of people seemed to be going inside. It wasn't nearly as crowded as it was in this video but we were there about 4:30PM.
Kara saying JERUSALEM over and over is a whole mood. Goosebumps this whole video. More determined than ever to see Jerusalem for myself.
Every time I see videos of tourist walking in Jerusalem I understand how incredible the city I live in is
I've lived less than an hour away from Jerusalem for years and still get the same feeling each time I go down there. It's incredibly difficult to put into words what it feels like to be in the city, but you guys have done an amazing job documenting some of its greatest aspects!
i live 10 minutes away and i’m a muslim but since there’s a huge wall cutting off the west bank i can’t get to jerusalem that easily but i manage
@@jaye-len1434 Kinda like a in Tijuana looking at California?
I’ve been to Israel four times, and Jerusalem is my favorite place on earth. I’ve been watching your videos a little less than a year and have been crossing my fingers SO HARD that y’all will go to Israel. Your videos there have been so good - you were so honest and authentic in your experiences, and I’m sure there’s so much more you may have not even fully processed yet. My sister and I both remarked on y’all’s comments about how different your experiences at the Wall were, and that’s almost always how it is for us too!! Additionally, I love that you said you’ll never read your Bible the same way again. It’s truly life changing. Please return one day, there’s so much more of Israel to experience - the Galilee, the desert, the Golan heights. Thank you for giving me this quick escape to Israel 💜
You know who killed Jesus!
A hero he was shit

I lived in Jerusalem for 4 years, I loved the city but got used to it and forgot to look at it that way. So thank you for reminding me.

Still living here but yeah, it's lost that luster a bit because it's become so casual.

Thank you for a sensitive, objective portrait of a complicated city. It's unfortunate that so many people have decided that you should have chosen to be un-objective in favor of their personal faith, but I suppose that's inevitable. Some of us appreciate the way you do it, and don't mind that you don't weight it on our side! Keep it up.
I’ve watched y’all’s videos for a couple of years now, and I’ve watched them and wondered if y’all were Christians. Though it’s never been explicitly answered in videos I’ve seen, I’ve just had a feeling. Excited to have had it answered in this video, and thankful for y’all’s influence on KZhead. Likely one of my favorite channels to watch on KZhead. Thank you!
“I will never read my Bible the same”. Kara, I said that to myself over and over during my trip to Israel. ❤️
Beauitful!!!!!!
More people have died as a result of that place then every single serial killer in history x 1000, the same evil is in that bible you read.
@@sandspider7375 There is evil in all of no matter who we are. Words do not make evil its people.
@@sandspider7375 People have misused religion and Christianity for evil aims throughout the years, there is no doubt about that. There is also no doubt about the fact that Christian concepts and ideals were some of the driving forces of the enlightenment period which directly lead to the great prosperity we see today in Western countries that have a Christian heritage (US, Canada, UK, Australia, France, Spain etc). Meanwhile countries that banned Christianity (and all religion) like the Soviet union, Communist China etc etc have been guilty of the worst genocides and mass killings in the world's history, in the 20th century alone Godless communists killed over 100 MILLION innocent people (100M!!!) ... many more people have died at the hands of communism, atheism and other godless ideologies than at the hands of Christianity (which as I mentioned is the basis for our prosperity today).
Lmao @ died at the hands of atheism. That's just pure ignorance. I'm not surprised though. 😂
I am literally crying while watching this. So beautiful, I can’t imagine the emotions of being there in person.
Me too!!!
what the heck Israel doesn't exist it's Palestine
32th likened
I KNOW PALASTINE IS SO BEAUTIFUL
Kara, when you placed you hand on the wall where Jesus stumbled along the path to his crucifixion, I yearned to do that as well!! God Bless you both on your future journeys!!
I am watching this video. I am a Christian. It is the week before Easter 🐣. Israel is on my bucket list.
Being a Muslim it’s good to know that we all I.e., Muslims, Jews and Christians share the same history and the same Significance for Jerusalem. What you were explaining with so much calmness by looking at the city. I felt exactly the same watching it.
But how when they were never there, when did a religion become an ethnicity! Palestinians are a mix of all religions and they opened their doors for the ones who never had a home and were lost for years in the desert and in the ghettos! My dad was born there before anything called Israel, they went there knowing thar there's nth for them there, no history or anything and they're buying and stealing it claiming it's theirs , pathetic
Nope. Much of the Jews and much of the Arabs unfortunately don't accept the fact that God is Lord Jesus Christ, The Savior. Which Lord Jesus Christ is in reality Immanuel meaning God with us.
As we say; it's the same shit just in different packagings
@@madamejamin it is not the same. Only God=Lord Jesus Christ can save us from our sins if we seek Him now while there is time. While the other paths all lead to hell, the second death. We all need to choose wisely. No one wants to spend all eternity in hell after passing away.
@@thespaceram2879 neither Abraham nor any prophet ever worshiped Jesus. You think God would have kept such knowledge from them?
It's crazy...Jerusalem is literally like my back yard, it's a 40 min bus ride from where I live and I go there at least once a week and still I get excited every time I am there and emotional every time I stand in front of the western wall. I'm glad you guys got to experience it!
Basya B do you have to go through checkpoints ? Oh wait
@@oriangalore of course I do
@NY UK Ive been to the old city of jerusalem 3 times and will say from my experiences it truly felt spiritual more than touristy. There are shops all around the city, but the holy sites are something you can't describe. Takes your breath away for sure.
@NY UK best time to go to the Kotel is Shabbat - more peaceful with no irreverent photographers 😆
Did muslim and jew are same
I was scrolling on KZhead and then I saw this video, I'm Jewish who lives in Jerusalem, and I recognized you guys, I was with you at the same bus that you drove to the 'western wall', I was on my way to school! It was so cool figuring it out!😄
This guy is an anti semite!!
@obipaca those are not real the "Jews" the holy city is being trodden down by gentiles (seed of the serpent) until the return of Christ
@@tubechick8 There isnt something called anti semite !!! it is anti satan !!!! Zionists are satans and who ever fight them he is fighting satans !!!

Same. I want to go there sometime and visit the holy city of jesus
I just started following you guys a few months ago and have always wondered about your faith because of your hearts toward people and your interaction with each other. What a blessing to see this video and have you confirm that you are Christians. You did an excellent job of respecting all of the religions while sharing your own faith and experiences. Thank you for the impact you are having on so many people!
My husband and I traveled through Israel a few years ago and the experience was deeply moving on many levels. I totally understand the emotional feelings you had. History and culture and religion and ideas are pulsing throughout the country. It is unlike any other place we have been.
The last moments where you both were standing,was so emotional. you guys are blessed to visit that holiest city.
I thought that your video was probably the best I’ve seen of Jerusalem. Your emotions were completely raw and uncut. I couldn’t help but be emotional watching this. Y’all deserve an Emmy. FACTS.
Aww how precious! My fist tour of Jerusalem, Israel with you two lovely people. Thank you 🙏🏼 ! You made it fun and sweet! Great to see how it is there.
Tears running down my face watching this one. Thank you so much Kara & Nate for this one. It is the best video out of all of them. It just shines!!!
I don't know why, but this video is bringing up so many emotions in me.
It's Jesus pulling at your heartstrings💝 plus the fact that that city is the most important, significant place on Earth. You have to ask yourself, why does this tine piece of ancient land in the middle east get so much attention from every nation and power on earth? How does this place cause world-wide conflict? Why does everybody have A strong polarizing opinion, positive or negative? Do some research on the history of this place, and be amazed at how it even exists today. Most importantly though, seek Jesus Christ and His Word. Btw, I think your comment here is PROFOUNDLY BEAUITFUL !!! Thank you for leaving it. This is just my opinion and hope you please don't take anything I said here as being any kind of negative.
sounds like more emotions than they are capable of experiencing
Ikr!
Valentina Mekhonoshina me too ❤️

Was going to revisit April 2020 but of course we know how that ended. Currently still locked down in Australia and yours and some of your friends channels are the only thing keeping me sane. Keep up the great work.

Well not everyone is a Jew, the probably visit Israel because it’s not Europe
Thank-you so much. This made me tear up, the closest I can get to the city of my Lord and Saviour. Your simple and honest account still helped me experience the essence of this incredibly special city. One day in His timing, I will go there and live for 6 months so I can fully discover what it may have felt like being with my Yeshua. Bless you guys so much.

God loves you unconditionally
@Infinity No, I am a Hispanic Jew and my grandmother a very Orthodox Jew has had premarital sex, there is nothing in the Jewish Bible stating that unmarried women cannot have premarital sex.
I’m Jewish 2
I’m an Arab and I’m really sorry to say this but I really don’t support the Jewish community I only support the Palestine community in sorry to say that to a Jewish person
Glad that you said that. As someone who supports Palestine, please don’t say that you don’t support the Israeli community. The Israeli community is not the one who controls the rockets; not the police who so violently barricade mosques and Muslim holy sites. Calling the Israeli community bad is like saying Muslims are bad because of ISIS. Don’t hate the communities and citizens, fight against the Governments pulling the strings and corruption; misunderstandings of religions and hate.
When you walked the VDR I got chills and tears instantly! You done an amazing job! I look forward to visiting in the near future!!
It must have been a surreal moment to realize that you're standing in such a historic and magical place. I think you'd have to stay for months to feel all the many emotions that a city like Jerusalem can generate.
Personally, I would use the word "Holy" place instead of 'magical'. "Holy" in the literal sense, rather than religious; meaning it is "set apart" from any other place in the world, that I've been to.
Having followed you guys for some time now, I think this video really encapsulates what I love most about your travelogues: your humility, self-awareness, and open-mindedness. I really appreciate how you are open about your preconceptions and discoveries throughout your trips, and how you go out of your way to meet and get to know locals in every place you visit. I had a very similar experience in Jerusalem this year, and I am grateful for your insight and vulnerability in this vlog. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

I lived in Israel for 6 years and know Jerusalem reasonably well, and honestly, for being in that crazy place just one day, you've done really well, both in your selection of places to go to as well as the presentation. To me who fancies himself half a local, it's always great fun and joy seeing other people's reactions to it, of re-experiencing the raw emotions that come with being in this place for the first time. Do come back and explore more of that country, because you literally never run out of new corners to visit. P.S. I got hooked on your channel through the Everest Base Camp trek and you're already among my favourite travel vloggers!

Kara and Nate, I love the way you guys presented the different faiths while talking about your own. I could sense how emotional and spiritual it was for you. Just for you to know, those 15 stops along the Via Dolorosa are the pattern on which the 15 Stations of the Cross in liturgical churches (Catholic, Anglican, Episcopalian, Lutheran) are directly based.
Certainly, my wife and I were most blessed to have spent 3 months in this incredible city. As the plane slowly began its touchdown in Tel Aviv, I broke down in tears. It was so very emotional for me to finally visit where our Lord walked. We wish to return and I encourage everyone to visit this most special city, which I call, the world's Capital.

O R Jesus was Jewish
O R and the Romans tried to force us over to their religion read the story of Chanukah
O R nah it wasn’t the Jews themselves the romans were just too powerful for them to withhold Jesus understood

New subscriber here from the Philippines. All of two days. Did binge watching of your Philippine series, climaxed by your escape from the lockdown. Then came across this, and brought memories of that most memorable trip of a lifetime. So glad we crossed paths. 🇵🇭 🇮🇱
Hello from Portland, Oregon! I just started watching your channel and I love it. But what I really wanted to let you know is, this video shook me! The road where Jesus walked His final walk was amazing. When you put your hand in that groove on the wall where he also put his hand, I wept. Questions started flooding my mind. Am I living my life for Christ? Am I "all in" this, the way He wants me to be? Does His light shine through me in the world? Amazing how a 20 minute travel video could completely transform a persons Faith! Thank you for being a vessel of His love.
Just started watching you this year & I knew you were believers! That’s why you shine so bright ☀️
Jerusalem is amazing, filled with history

Kara and Nate, thank you so much for your sensitivity while filming this video! I think you did a great job representing our city and the history without "taking sides". As a Jew living in Jerusalem it was interesting for me to see some of the Christian places I have never been and to see the experience through your eyes! You should definitely come back for a month, we're waiting!! PS we're not in the top 3, but there are over 14 million, not thousand, Jews in the world (almost half live in Israel) ;) 🇮🇱
6,558,100-6,958,300 Jews live in Israel. Which currently means the majority of world Jewry lives in Israel, so more than half.
It isn’t your city, you are just a settler there. Go home.
@@BusinessEnglish607 The majority of Israel's Jews incl. the overwhelming majority of the Jewish demographic of Jerusalem are Mizrachi and Sephardi Jews. "Go home" means going to countries such as Iraq, Iran, Algeria and Yemen. Which - if you haven't been paying attention - are not places friendly to the Jewish people. So NO, the Jews will not be going anywhere. They were in Jerusalem long before you were born, and they'll be here long after you're dead. But by all means, enjoy being angry in the KZhead comment section. The rest of us will be over here enjoying life.
@@ylilin Jerusalem exists since and even before the canaanites, it belongs to all people who have lived there, palestnians, jews, ect
@@BusinessEnglish607 All Jews resided in this area until the Babylonian empire exiled them. Palestinian's did not come about until the Persian empire (which was two empires after the Babylonians) who also let the Jews return to their home at this time.
The Temple wasn't "the holiest Temple in all of Judaism," it was the ONLY Temple in all of Judaism. And it wasn't just the second Temple, Solomon's Tempe was there too.
WRONG the bible lists several temples in acient Israel - Judah - Shiloh - Dan - Hebron -Bethel -Mizpah to name a few and archeaology has uncovered a Jewish temple at Elephantine . These are houses of worship to yahwey or temples out side Jerusalem .
@@karfomachet7265 NOT during the Second Temple period. They were very strict about sacrifices performed anywhere butinI Jerusalem. When the Elephantine temple was destroyed (the first time), animal sacrifices were forbidden there after it was rebuilt (See Simon Schama's book for more info on Elephantine).
@@karfomachet7265 your thinking of the tabernacle
@@karfomachet7265 no
Wrong no stone of the temple was left its in the bible that's a Roman fortress..
The tears at the wall are an awe of the closeness to THE House of G-d, the overwhelming inability to contain such holiness that it is released through tears of joy and deep longing for Complete Redemption.
THIS VIDEO MADE ME CRY I LOVE JESUS CHRIST IT WAS A BLESSING JUST TO SEE JERUSALEM HERE I ALWAYS WANTED TO GO BUT ITS ALSO A BLESSING FOR ME BEING ABLE TO SEE IT ON SCREEN THANKS FOR THE EXPERIENCE GOD BLESS YOU IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN
Why am I drooling over that falafel?! 😋
gosh i have seen so much falafel is recent videos ,i am craving it
To be fair, I do that all the time. Have no shame.
I have never tried falafel, but I’ve been drooling over them (and hummus) since 2 videos ago
@@cynthialimon3309 they're both absolutely delicious!
You too When will you visit Syria😀😀😄😄
You guys just made me wanna visit Jerusalem, like how emotional you've gotten while 'trying' to explore the place. Exploring places where you kind of read the scriptures and then live there walking and talking around.
Spriture sq
This video is a rewatch for me, but I just wanted to say that I really identified with Kara when she said that she’ll never be the same after visiting Jerusalem. I’m Jewish, and when I first visited Israel I remember just being blown away by seeing with my own eyes the places that I had read about in the Bible my whole life. It looked nothing like my imagination had constructed, and yet was so special.
Would love to see this place with my parents. I believe it would solidify everything for me. It’s like when I was a kid reading books and textbooks in school I would always scroll thru them just to look at the images Or illustrations it had. reading the Bible and actually going to a place where all the good story of Jesus took place would really put me closer to God. Such a powerful atmosphere just by looking at these videos just imagining what was going on thru those times.
My great-great grandfather is buried on the Mount of Olives.
How long ago did he die?
stitchesbysue both my grandmother and grandfather are buried there too. 💜
How come? You just came to the country 70 years ago. Almost one generation.
Yeah it doesnot make sense. Even if your great grandparents are from those jews who fled europe in the early 1900s before zionist invasion and occupation of Palestine
Your Grannies are thieves and you will pay back, simply!
The Bible is so much cooler after being to the Holy Lands.
I agree.
Geeta liberates you...it gave the concept of karma to this world... Hinduism the world's oldest religion liberates each and every soul in this universe ..india is a land of moksha...
@@ravimishra4914 That's stupid.
Hi how are your
@@hellno4457 Have you read every book?
I was there a lot in the 80's , I was a young tourist staying in the Old city in youth-hostels and just enjoying the life there. I remember learning that the Jerusalem that Jesus walked in was many layers down below; the Old city has been re-built about 7times if I remember it right?
You two are so blessed to have visited countries that are at war now or again at it. This captures a conflicted but yet more peaceful time, let's hope there will finally be peace between all parties involved one day.
I've recently come across your Vlog, and you both are amazing! Should you ever find yourself in Jerusalem again, you MUST experience the bringing in of Shabbat at the Western Wall. It remains one of the most special and meaningful experiences I've ever had.
It’s amazing to be able to watch where my brother got to visit! He told us about it but having now seen it in this video and what he told us I have a clearer picture of what it’s like. ❤️
Oh my gosh… thank you so much for sharing this very special place. 💜
Seeing tourists reaction to Jerusalem always makes me remember how lucky i am to live here.
As a guy living in Jerusalem since I was born, you did a great job covering the many aspects of the old city. There is so much more though, when going to the city center. And the history is truly endless
As a proud jewish leaving in Jerusalem I really enjoed watching your video, Bet you were right, there is so much to this city to capture in one day, wish you would have stayed longer and discover more of this miraclouse city and state.... Hope to see you again תודה
What do you think of Palestine?
@@eliasziad7864 Palestine doesn't exist, and the poor Muslims who live in Gaza are miserable because of hamas. Israelis don't want them to suffer but it isn't Israel's fault. There.
@@Plepler I am from Yemen, and Palestine does exist, Israel doesn't exist because they like to take land from innocent people!!!!
@@eliasziad7864 ok, here's a history lesson for you. 1. Israel took it's land from the British, who ruled here before Israel did, not Palestine. 2. Israel didn't even take it illegally, the countries of the world agreed that there should be an Israeli state. Hard to believe that the people of Yemen are more concerned about Israel than what's going on in their country.
@@eliasziad7864 I'm from Israel, but I'm an Atheist. I personally don't believe in the "Chosen People" and "Our Land" crap, but we did legally get the land after the British left. PS: Many Arabs and Muslims live in the area, no one wants Muslims to suffer, the US has actually tried to help us achieve deals with the Muslim countries that surround us, but most are not interested
That is what Jerusalem does to people. It’s hard to think clearly because of the extraordinary spiritual energy emanating from that space! It takes time to calibrate your physical body and your soul when you are there! I love her so and I miss her when I am away from her. Luckily I get to be there most summers. Thanks for the vlog.
Absolutely beautiful!!! Such a surreal and overwhelming moment for us Christians. Love this
So rare these days (sadly) to see coupes really into each other and loving. You two bring a smile to the face even before the travel stuff. All the best to you both for many more happy years.
the old guy seemed really sweet, and so friendly. i think you guys bring out the best in everyone you meet.😉
My hubby and I have been to Jerusalem about 6 times I think. You did a very nice job showing the city I deeply love. I wish we would have been with you to show you some great spots that you would have enjoyed.
Watching this from Jerusalem is so bizarre. I haven’t been to most of the Old City because of my religion, but it’s fascinating to see how holy it is to so many people. Feeling really lucky to live here :)
My sister and I got to spend a week in Israel. We visited so many sites. It was overwhelming. We even got to see the tomb of Christ and also see where the angel came to Mary and told her she was pregnant. We took a tour to the dead sea and the sea of Galilea. Went to where Jesus was Baptised. Just an overall amazing and overwhelming experience. I recommend it to everyone!
I hope to visit here one day, reading your comment made me so emotional 🙂
Wow. Had to fight back tears watching this one. I can only imagine the honor it must've been to walk the same streets that Jesus walked, to stand in the same places that Jesus stood. Thank you for sharing this!
Liam, I cried through most of it! Very surreal.....Perfect video of such sacred ground our Saviour walked upon and died upon for all of us. Praise His Holy Name! Blessings.
Hi Kara and Nate. I hope that you will somehow see my comment. I've discovered your channel after your amazing videos visiting Israel, and have been following your journey ever since. The last few days in Israel have been devastating to all of us here, and we really need everyone in the world to know what had happened this terrible Saturday in Israel. If you will be willing to share the stories of what happened to innocent Israeli citizens the past week and support Israel, and share it with the rest of the community following you, it will mean so much to me and to many others here in Israel. I hope some day peace will come to all the people in our area, but first we must have the world's support!
What you’re meant to say is.. you hope peace will come to ALL! Not just Israel but the people of Gaza too. By the way.. Kara and Nate have turned a blind eye to the genocide happening in Gaza, so I doubt they’ll share anything regarding Palestine and Israel.
I live vicariously through this video. Thank you for sharing. It was significant for aspects of history of Jesus. I cannot thank you enough. The crowd and craziness is similar to how an experience would be in Makkah by the way. It’s a mixture of spirituality. And cameras, and tourists. But none the less, a surreal experience.
The Temple Mount is where the first temple and the second temple stood.
Bullshit
@@zackjalamani learn history you ignorant
Except that it didn't. No historical evidence whatsoever.
@@wiszak9370 no archiological research can be done and has ever been done in Temple mount because of religion restrictions.
@@user-lk8he6mx5v you know this is not true. There are always dozens of archaeologist around, and kilometers of tunnels were digged carelessly under the holy sites.
The Christian section made me cry I don't know, I want it so bad to go there. And the sunset view, made me realize how amazing God's created.

I felt the same when I watched. It must be a wonderful feelings to be in the holy place and be surrounded by everything we read in the Bible.
I know 😭
Why am I crying..??!!!😢
Raj Tiwari so needlessly hateful, I hope you can find peace.
I'm so glad JESUS CAN HEAR ME FROM ATL
He can’t he is just a human
Great clip. Love how overcome you guys were. I live here. 35 years on, this city just gets better and better :-)
I am catholic, married to a Jewish wife. Today is Good Friday 2021 and just rewatched this vlog for the occasion. I get emotional everytime I watch it no matter how many times. Was lucky to have visited back in 1995 when I was still in college. Possibly the best vlog K&N have ever published.
Hi there, I'm wondering how it works having a wife with a different faith. Do you try to convert her?
@@shomshomni2314 No we just respect each other's faith. No trying to convert the other.
@@travelertrome8449 Do you worry tor her since she's not saved? Were you a firm believer when you married her? Have any conflicts come up because of your differences in faith? Sorry for all the questions. Mixed faith relationships fascinate me 😭.
@@shomshomni2314 Neither one of us are hardcore in our faiths to the point that we would think the other is not saved if not converted. That works for us.
@@travelertrome8449 Oh ok. Jesus said those who don't believe are condemned already. Maybe share some Ray Comfort videos with her so she can learn the gospel in a friendly approachable way. It will be heart breaking for you to find her not in heaven when you had so many opportunities to share the gospel with her.
I went to Jerusalem two years ago. absolutely fantastic. the best time to see the church is at 4am in the morning. very peaceful at that time.
What do u thank about it? Do u believe that this holly land is Israel
@@ja_1dhamdan146 yes Jerusalem is in Israel USA confirmed that
@@shimonmizrahi6356 The nuclear weapons of the United States were confirmed and banned from Iran. America occupied Afghanistan and Iraq and supported Israel for its interests and because it stands with the stronger party
I’m going to the holy land in November and I’m so excited! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! ❤️
Is amazing, I'm here right now, and there are hardly any tourists, you can see everything
I’m going in 2 weeks and I’m excited!!
I went in 2019 and it was amazing! Watching this video now is bringing back so many memories.
Thank you for sharing this virtual opportunity to see this amazing place . God bless 🙏🥂
