Forbidden Prayer in the Holy Land with Kyle Clayton

In this Episode of DEFENDING THE FAITH, Dr. Frank Harber interviews guest Kyle Clayton on “Forbidden Prayer in the Holy Land”.

 

The Temple Mount is the holiest place in Judaism, as the site of the biblical Temples. The Temple Mount (which Muslims call the Noble Sanctuary – Haram al Sharif) remains a site of worship for Muslims alone, and a site that non-Muslims may visit. Temple Mount entry restrictions are restrictions on entering the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif in Jerusalem. Non-Muslims may enter the Temple Mount at designated times, but are forbidden to pray there. Christians and Jews may only visit the site as tourists and only for four hours per day five days per week. The fact that Jews are not permitted to pray at the site is a source of pain to some and bafflement to others.

 

Kyle Clayton discusses how Jews might be arrested for praying in the Jerusalem compound, which is considered Judaism’s holiest site.

 

Kyle and Dr. Harber also talk about the struggle for religious liberty in America as well.

 

Kyle Clayton is Senior Pastor at The Church at Quail Creek, in Amarillo Texas.
