'Palestine' is the name given by the ancient Greeks to the Levant after they met the Philistines living along much of the coast and thought that the Philistines occupied the entire land. The Greeks, coming from across the Mediterranean Sea, were unaware that a different people, the Hebrews, occupied the mountainous interior.
The Hebrew people gave the area their own names, particularly the inland areas they themselves occupied, Judah and Israel. And they called the coastal plains and foothills actually occupied by the Philistines, simply the land of the Philistines or Philistia. The coastal areas to the north belonged to the Canaanites. So, although most of The Bible is about the land we know of as Palestine, the Bible does not use that name.

What is the Catholic view on Scripture?
AnswerCatholics believe in reading the Bible. It is the word of God. The first Bible, based on Tradition as it wasn't written until after 300 AD, was handed down by Catholics. Some read it daily, which is highly recommended. At Mass, the readings and the Gospel and many of the prayers are taken from the Bible. Some people pray the scriptural rosary, and the passages are from the Bible.There are mixed opinions among Catholic theologians and exegetes regarding what Catholics believe about the account of Creation in Genesis and Noah's flood. However, Catholics view the Bible as the Word of God.AnswerCatholics believe that Scripture contains the written Law of God. However the Church hierarchy believe that the Law as it is written in Scripture needs to be "interpreted" for the people and therefore they believe that tradition, where the Church interprets the Law, supercedes Scripture. However this notion is cotradicted in the New Covenant (see New Covenant in Scripture) and in various passages of Scripture such as "I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes; yea, Father, for such was thy gracious will. All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."It is very important to note that Scripture does contain the written Law of God and like any law it needs to be read with extreme care so that the law is promoted and obeyed. If we read Scripture carefully we see that the law is stated clearly and unambiguously. It should also be noted that any "law" that is not in Scripture is not part of Christianity.AnswerUntil the Vatican II Council of the 1960s, Catholics were discouraged from reading the Bible as the hierarchy wanted it for themselves in order to present it to the faithful as they saw fit.

What is the land that GOD had intended for Israel?
The land of Canaan, now known as Israel/Palestine, according to the Bible. The Bible nowhere uses the name "Palestine" (and should not be used on any Bible map). "Provincia Syria Palestina" was coined by the Roman Emperor Hadrian (in AD135) as a derogatory term against the Israelites, renaming their homeland after Israel's ancient nemeses the Philistines. To call any part of Israel "Palestine" is to imply that the land belongs to the Philistines who no longer exist.

What passages from Scripture or other Bible sources point to John who wrote John's Gospel being a priest?
A:There is nothing in any Bible source that mentions the author of John's Gospel being a priest. In fact, the Bible does not even tell us who actually wrote this gospel, because the original text was anonymous. It was only later in the second century, when the Church Fathers were trying to establish who, in their opinions, wrote the four gospels, that it was decided to attribute the fourth gospel to the apostle John. Even if John had been the author, there is nothing in scripture to suggest that he was a priest.

How can we interpret The Bible?
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. II Peter 1:20 Since the Bible as originally inspired is perfect, there are keys we can apply so that the Bible interprets itself. We compare scripture with scripture and word with word, knowing that every part must fit perfectly with every other part if we are to have the true Word of God. (researchprinciples.22web.org)
