How Prophets Pray In The Bible by Abdulsalam20(m): 5:58pm On Feb 24, 2015 |
here is a collection of verses in the bible which shows how prophets pray in the bible • Jesus (Pbuh) And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou [wilt.]. (Matthew 26:39) And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed”( Matthew 26:39 ) ** Even Jesus’ disciples submitted When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were terrified”( Matthew 17:6 ) 2 • Moses (Pbuh) And Moses bowed to the ground and worshiped. (Exodus 34: 3. • Moses and Aaron (Pbut) : Then Moses and Aaron went away from the assembly to the entrance of the tent of meeting and fell on their faces… (Numbers 20:6) • Abraham (Pbuh) Then Abram fell on his face. (Genesis 17:3) • Abraham’s servant : When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself to the ground before the Lord. (Genesis 24:52) • Joshua (Pbuh) : And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped (Joshua 5:14). • Ezra and the people : Then they bowed their heads and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground. (Nehemiah 8:6) MORE MORE And Elijah went up to the top of Mount Carmel, And he bowed himself down on the earth and put his face between his knees.(1 kings 18: 42 ) And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, (Revelations 7:11 ) Oh come, let us worship and bow down let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker! (Psalm 95:6 ) All the prosperous of the earth eat and worship before him shall bow all who go down to the dust( Psalm 22:29 ) Now Manoah and his wife were watching, and they fell on their faces to the ground. (Judges 13:20 ) And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, “The LORD, he is God; the LORD, he is God.”( 1 kings 18:39 ) David rose from beside the stone heap and fell on his face to the ground( 1 Samuel 20: 41 ) And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped (Joshua 5:14 ) When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself to the earth before the LORD.(Genesis 24:52 ) THE VERSE I LOVE MOST "Ezra the scribe stood on a high wooden platform(ready for solat) that had been made for the occasion. To his right stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah. To his left stood Pedaiah, Mishael, Malkijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam." (Nehemiah 8:4)."And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people (imam) and when he opened it, all the people stood up:" (Nehemiah 8:5)."Then Ezra praised the LORD(takbiratul iram), the great God, and all the people chanted, "Amen! Amen!" as they lifted their hands. Then they bowed down (rukuh) and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground(sujud)." (Nehemiah 8:6). NOW Let us look at Luke 6:40 from my N.I.V. Bible "A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher." THEN WHY ARE THE CRISTIANS NOT PRAYING THIS WAY SINCE JESUS SAYS Luke 6:40 from my N.I.V. Bible "A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher. The Lord is great.Only those who wants to perishe will deny the commandement of Creator.This is a full practical of Solat in Bible {NEHEMIAH 8 vs 4-6} why are christian not praying this way? 1 Like |

[s] Abdulsalam20:[/s] Are you for real? Isn't all the religious controversies and attacks of this world enough? Why won't you face your religious practice and give others the freedom to face theirs? If islam is attacked in France, fanatics like you would go on rampage and killing spree down in Nigeria. Mr, you DON'T need to teach us Christians how to pray or what's in the bible. Thanks but no thanks. |

Am not a Christian (in fact I'm a hardcore atheist), but this form of prayer goes back long before the Jews. It was also used as a form of respect towards kings and rulers in the Middle East (look up the term proskynesis) for thousands of years. Muslims simply use a tradition of respect that was used for many centuries towards gods (yes, pagan gods) and men. Nothing prophetic about it. |

Re: How Prophets Pray In The Bible by parisbookaddict(f): 7:41pm On Feb 24, 2015 |
Abdulsalam20: enjoy ur folly... Islam is of the spirit of the anti christ. .. your quran says Qur'an 4:171 "O people of the book! Commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of God naught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of God, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: So believe in God and His messengers..." in contrast to truth, (Philippians 2:5-9, NAS95) 5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, Jesus forgave sins, something only God does. People he healed fell on their knees and worshipped him and yet he didn't say No don't worship me. We Christians know on earth he had 2 natures human(son of man) and divine(son of God) Your Koran says Qur'an 4:157 They said (in boast), "we killed christ jesus the son of mary, the messenger of Allah". But they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubt, without(certain) knowledge, but only conjective to follow, for a surety they killed him not. And Qur'an 9: 30 "AND THE JEWS SAY, EZRA IS THE SON OF Allah, AND THE CHRISTIAN SAY: THE MESSIAH IS THE SON OF Allah, THESE ARE THE WORDS OF THEIR MOUTHS; THEY INITIATE THE SAYING OF THOSE WHO DISBELIEVED; MAY Allah DESTROY THEM; HOW THEY ARE TURNED AWAY the bible clear tells us from a witness in Matthew 27:35, 35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. 1 Corinthians 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness; In Mark 14:61-62, Jesus claimed to be the Son of Man (Daniel 7:13) and David's Lord (Psalm 110:1) Jesus helped people who called him Lord, and never rebuked when people worshipped him (Matthew 14:30-33) Moreover in John 5:22-23 22 , the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, that all may honour the Son just as they honour the Father. Whoever does not honour the Son does not honour the Father, who sent him. Jesus judges us all, Jesus is one with God and the son of God. The scripture is very clear on the nature of Jesus and hours divinity. Check also Mark 11: 17-18 Mathew 11:27, 17:5,John 5:17-18 and peters answer to Christ's question about who he was in Mathew 16:16. Go to the old testament thousands of years before jesus and see the prophesy of his coming isaiah 40-3:5 for example The scripture is also very clear in; 1 John 2:22, 'Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist--denying the Father and the Son. 1 John 4:2-3 "By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world." Several times this term is used in the plural, and can be applied to almost anyone who is opposed to Christ. Those who deny that Jesus came in the flesh are anti-Christ or of the spirit of antichrist. 1 John 4:1 beloved,believe not every spirit,but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets has gone into the world. This is one of the ways to discern a false teacher from a true one. In 1 Corinthians 14:33 My bible tells me in clear terms that God is not the author of confusion. There is so much confusion in Islam ask the Wahabi, Salafists, sunnis, shites alwaites, ahmedies. They kill each other because of this. My bible also tell me in Matthew 7:15-20,“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them." Islams fruits are rotten and that's the truth my friend. So in conclusion; God the father acknowledged Jesus as his son (John 17:5, Matthew 17:5 And Mark 9:7) Jesus called himself the Son of God and one with God (Matthew 11:27) His disciples called him the son of God. Isaiah from the old testament prophesied about him and called him the son of God. Angel Gabriel in the first chapter of Luke called Jesus the Son of God. John the baptist called Jesus the son of God. The Jews who hated him accused him of claiming he is the Son of God and one with God. Eg Mark 11: 17-18 Demons he casted out called him the son of God. Yet u Muslims choose to believe the words of a monotheistic pagan sex addicted slave trader mass murderer illiterate Arab paedophile wife beater who came 600 years after Christ and was poisoned by a jewish woman, died after suffering for 4 years while reciting chants hoping to be cured. May the one true God, the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, father of Jesus set you free when u come to him for truth. 3 Likes |
