A genuine question to all the Christians on here ?!
As a Muslim, I have always wondered Why don’t Christians pray like how the prophets did?
The holy Bible :
“And he (Jesus) went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed..." (Matthew 26:39)
"And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship..." (Joshua 5:14)
"And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces…" (Numbers 20:6)
"And Abraham fell on his face..." (Genesis 17:3)
"…and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God." (Revelation 7:11)
"…Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces." (1 Chronicles 21:16)
Etc.. Throwing your face to the ground means your forehead is touching the ground.
Similarly in the holy Quran :
“ ....Those were the ones upon whom Allah bestowed favor from among the prophets of the descendants of Adam and of those We carried [in the ship] with Noah, and of the descendants of Abraham and Israel [i.e., Jacob], and of those whom We guided and chose. When the verses of the Most Merciful were recited to them, they fell in prostration and weeping” (Chapter Mary verses 57-58)
“O you who have believed, bow and prostrate and worship your Lord and do good - that you may succeed” (chapter the pilgrimage verse 77) Etc.. But personally, I have never seen a Christian in my entire life ever place their forehead on the ground while praying. Christians;
Muslims :
Ps: this is a respectful genuine question, so please no hate 💕

@hippyjoe1955 Allah is the Arabic word for “The one god” the same abrahamic god.
The word itself is driven from Hebrew and Aramaic , look that up. If you read the original language of your holy Bible God is El, Elohim, Alaha, Eli..etc which is very similar to “Allah “ as Arabic is a Semitic language.
And I know that Islam and Christianity have different beliefs I never argued about that I know that Christians believe god is a Trinity The father son and holy spirit While Muslims believe it’s one all mighty god and Jesus to be a prophet and the messiah who was born of a virgin to preach the oneness of god And the Holy Spirit a commandment from him
Clear difference I never argued about that in my post
I was just asking why don’t Christians pray /worship like how their prophets did which is written in the Bible.
It was a genuine question, your comment is kinda irrelevant
@Moon3624 No. Allah means 'the god'. I already explained that we Christians do not worship the god. We worship Yahweh. Very very different being. Our God is made up of Three Persons. Father (Will) Son (Thought) Holy Spirit (Effective Agency). The muslim god is completely different. He supposedly only has will.
@hippyjoe1955 Sir Actually “ al ilah “ Means “the god “ But “Allah “ means “the one god” The same almighty Abrahamic god with no partners or offspring. And why Even dispute with me about Abraham when the Torah and Bible only came after him? If you don’t wanna believe in what I believe then simply dont But this is our beliefs We believe Jesus May peace be upon him to be a prophet born of a virgin with miracles but not god But you believe he is. So please Don’t enforce your beliefs on me Everyone in the comments is being respectful Im not even here arguing about whos religion is right , my post is about something completely different lol
@Moon3624 I know what allah means. I also know what god means. It means the thing you worship. Money can be your god. Fame can be your god. The word god does not specify any individual. For the satanists and muslims their god is satan. For Christians and Jews our God is Yahweh.
