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 💕

@SW-User Very true. Moses, David and Solomon are recorded as praying while standing.

@SW-User this is a ‘see Islam has the right way of doing things so you Christians should convert’ post whilst ignoring the errors in their own religion such as the adoption of black cube worship and changing the direction of prayer from medina to Mecca due to quite literally an error

@SW-User Daniel prayed in his window every day. No one knows if he was standing, kneeling, or bowing. Ezekiel was hiding in a cave. Probably didn't have his face to the ground.

@pianoplayingsteve this is your sad mindset ,
My post was pure and genuine.

This “ black cube” was built by angels and Adam and rebuilt by Abraham and Ishmael.

We don’t worship it , we worship god the one in heavens.
We only pray “towards” it for unity in compulsory prayers
Anyone who worships the Kaaba is a non Muslim
And by the way the piligrame and mecca are mentioned by name in your holy Bible.

The direction of prayer was never to Medina 😂
It was first towards Jerusalem , Muslims used to pray towards Jerusalem
then god changed it towards the Kaaba in Mecca since it’s a sacred house and to test the faith of the believers at that time.
If you want me to tell you about all the contradictions and scientific mistakes when it comes to Quran vs holy Bible
You are more than welcome in private message
I have got many notes ready lol
