Christians believe that God should only be worshipped internally with spirit and heart; In other word, there is no need for any ceremonial act of worship like standing, bowing and prostration as observed in Muslim act of prayer: Yet the divine mode of worship that God has chosen for the Israelites during and after the time of Moses is as follows: And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was standing above all the people; and when he opened it, all the people stood up. And the Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. Then all the people answer Amen, Amen! while lifting up their hands. And they BOWED THEIR HEADS and worshipped the LORD with their FACES TO THE GROUND(Nehemiah 8:4-6). If God should only be worship in spirit with our heart and not with body and mind as believed by the Christians, then why did God establish such a ceremonial and physical act of worship for the Israelites as shown above? In fact, towards the end of the world when almost all the people have accepted Islam, God prophesied as follows: For then I will restore to all the people a pure language; that they may all call upon the name of the Lord in unison and serve Him shoulder to shoulder (Zephaniah 3:9). This verse can only be referring to the Muslims who worship God in the mosque shoulder to shoulder with the same pure Arabic language throughout the world.

Nairaland =Religion and ethnicity issues...Waiting in line for FP.

Islam and Christianity are both Abrahamic religions so similarities are expected.

Why must everyone be Muslim?

do we have old testament Christians??

that is why we have a great high priest Jesus the son of God, the mediator of a better covenant, who entered into the holy of holies once and for all


so we don't have old testament Christians

But if someone else should post in your own section, there is big problem but while yours is ok, similar to Israel and Palestine

All followers of Mohammad are plagiarists just like their pedophile master. Islam copied a buy of the old way of worship in Israel and are now proudly claiming it as theirs.

Remember that Yahshua the Messiah told that Samaritan woman that a time will come when people wont need to go to the temple at Jerusalem to worship God cos worshipping God will be done from anywhere.

You Muslims gather yourself in one mosque and bow several times while facing a Black stone meteorite in the Kaaba in mecca. Isn't that Idol worshipping? These same people who bow their heads won't hesitate to kill innocent people with their terror acts. They worship not in spirit and in truth.

But someone who stays in his room to praise God and lives a righteous life is far better than a million terrorists hitting their head on the floor in a mosque cos God sees the heart and not physical gesture. Pls read the below carefully.


Mathew 6:5-6


5 “When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.

6 “But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

The reason why you see some similarities is simply because an Arabian rapist, terrorist, slave trader, murderer and PLAGIARIST decided to copy from the the Bible and still had the effrontery to claim that the Bible is a corrupted book.

I just feel pity for the gullible Muslims who believe that rubbish coming from the lips of a liar and caravan raider of a prophet.

OP is very silly o.

On one hand, muslims claim that the Bible is corrupted while on the other hand, they bury their noses in the same corrupted book looking for approval of Islam.

Isn't that stupidity?

In this case stupidity is a monumental understatement. It's more of acute mass delusion bordering towards insanity.

Can you not stand and make a meaning by yourself without leaning on Us?
