JefferyT -> The Holy Land Experience - Orlando (4/20/2008 2:02:23 PM)

During a recent visit to Orlando Florida, I was very pleased to discover The Holy Land Experience theme park. It is a beautiful and meaningful recreation of Jerusalem from the time of Jesus. It is historical, educational, and run by a non-profit Christian organization. If any of you happen to visit the Orlando area, this is a great new family venue that I highly recommend.

This is just my opinion but -
I've never been there but I did go on the website to check it out.
Seems kinda tacky to me to turn Jerusalem and Messiah into a theme park.I go to Jerusalem every year. I would have a hard time with a knockoff.
And I'm not too sure about the fact that TBN is involved with this project. Lots of money put into something that to me cheapens the scripture into a pay and see Jesus.

Anisavta,

Apparently you have never been to the Holy Land Experience. It is really a very meaningful encounter and very respectfully done.

I agree with you JefferyT. At first I thought that it would be tacky and would have a lot of cheesy rides. But it wasn't like that at all. Instead, the ministry was very very powerful. It was more like a series of plays, stories, musical shows (gospel music) that brought the bible to life. They talked about the tabernacle and shared what happened in the inner and outer courts as well as the Holy of Holies. And there were fun things for the kids as well.

The Holyland Experience was founded by a messianic jew who wanted to tell the story of Jesus to other Jewish people. While I'm not sure if he fulfilled his vision, many Christians and non-Christians come every year to learn about Jesus, the first century church, and more. It was very uplifting and I'm glad that I went. I would highly recommend that any Christian in the Orlando area go to see it.
