Jesus Way Of Praying/christians Way Of Praying, Which Of These Is More Accurate by yazach: 10:01am On Nov 19, 2014
I came across this verse of the bible explaining how Jesus prayed and found out that it is totally different from the way so called Christ followers(Christians) do pray to God. Now let us examine the verse and use the following picture to explain it

Matthew 26:38: And Jesus fell on His face and prayed
The question is: If you look at these, which one is more accurate

Can you please explain how he fell on his face, using picture will be preferable

Don't forget, he fell on his face to pray, how is it similar to the way Christians pray or they are anti-christ?

Don't you think this is thanks given after prayer has been answered

He prayed while prostrating and give thanks while lifting up eyes

I am addressing your post directly by showing you that Jesus prayed in different physical positions. When He taught the disciples the Lord's prayer He didn't tell them to bow or kneel. When He told them to pray in secret He didn't tell them to bow or kneel. When He prayed on the cross He could neither bow or kneel so to come up with one verse and say it was how Jesus prayed is not enough. In all the places the bible records Jesus as praying only in Gethsemene did He fall to the ground and that was because of His anguish.

Here is another place with Jesus praying:

John 17
1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
(KJV)

Jesus prayed on mountains and in the plains. We don't need one specific place or posture to pray.

Honestly, your post always show how antagonist Christians are to Christ

Jesus: Pray with face on the ground
Christian: Never it is the way of Muslims

Jesus: Pray with his eyes to heaven
Christians: No must close your eyes

Muslims have a history/tradition of following the doings of Mohammed as enshrined in the hadith, christians do not have it. You cannot you use Muslim practice to judge Christians.

bro yazach and rilwayne001 kudos to you
i have missed a lot on nl just busy this days
those guys dont want to listen to the truth


if the bible is read from a-z and the most of praying of prophets is scrutinized they pray as muslim prays but its a pity christians believe they are worshiping god but indirectly they are only praising god and even the way they praise god is idolatory i.e giving the attribuite of god to jesus a prophet an ideology bought by paul the most funniest about christians is that anything muslims are oing they wont do it even though it is ccommanded in their boo eg
1.bible forbid interest but when we try to bring up islamic banking with interest free loan it was opposed by them
2 the issue of hijaab it was ommanded but muslms who follow the way of god and demand or it in lag christian oppose it
3.MODE OF PRAYING WAS OPPOSED BY CHRISTIANN EVEN THOUGH JESUS PRAYED TE WAY MUSLIM PRAYS
4.POLYGAMY IS PERMITTED BUT THEIR WESTERNISATION DECEIVE THEM


back to the topic all prophet in the bible pray as muslim pray

here is my proof

assembly to the entrance of the tent of meeting and fell on
their faces. And the glory of the LORD appeared to them,

concerning jesus ** Jesus praying to God

prayed”( Matthew 26:39 )

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,

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 )

So what? You guys are more christian than the christians? Or you understand their beliefs more than they do? Face your own, let them face their own... Religious doesn't mean spiritual. Prayer is much more than closing or opening eyes, falling flat on your face or rolling or bowing... It's more about the praying soul than the posture. Christ only gave his followers one clear instruction on how to pray; " our Father whom art in heaven..." he said nothing about posture.

only one clear instruction on how to pray...... Even that instruction has some commas in the bibe....... In that, the prayer in luke is slightly different from that which is in matthew. How sure are we that both even recorded the whole even correctly? Plus.... Do you believe Jesus is God? If Yes why does God has to pray to a God? Does God the father also pray to Jesus?

yes, Jesus is a God. The child of a human is human. So also, the child f God is a god. The book of psalm says, "ye are gods...." thus, being joint heirs with Christ, a christian is also a god. To make it simpler, That a child is of the same specie with his father doesn't mean they get to rub shoulders.
