Hi everyone,

One thing i find funny is how Muslims love to claim that the bible has been corrupted but still pick verses from it when those verses seem to agree with their belief. Any verse that disagrees or contradicts their belief is immediately branded as one of the corruptions of the bible.

I believe you must have come across the below picture circulating the internet. Muslims use it to make claims that Yahshua the Messiah was a Muslim cos Mathew 26:39 states that he fell on his face to pray, something they say is similar to how they pray. Nowhere in the entire bible did Yahshua the Messiah order Christians to pray in that manner, that's why Christians can pray lying down, sitting down, standing up etc. It is even recorded that Yahshua prayed while in different position.

John 17:1

When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted His eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You.

If Yahshua was a Muslim cos Islamists say he fell on his face and prayed, then how come Muslims don't lift their eyes to heaven to pray like he also did in the above verse?


If you look at the below picture very well and also all the other of such picture circulating social media, you will realize that they never quote the entire verse of Mathew 26:39. Why is that so?

It is so because they know that it rubbishes the lies of Islam.

Islam and the Quran say God has no Son at all.

Quran 17:111

and say:"All praise is due to God, who begets no offspring, and has no partner in His dominion, and has no weakness, and therefore no need of any aid" -and [thus] extol His limitless greatness. - (Asad)


But in the verse that these Muslims love to quote to support their form of worship, we find Yahshua proving them wrong.


Mathew 26:39

And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will."


Did you notice Yahshua calling God his Father? That means he's God's Son. So, every time Muslims quote that verse to support their form of worship, tell them they are shooting themselves in the foot cos the same verse shows God to be Yahshua's Father, a thing which their Quran rejects.

My brother no too confuse. Because Isa taught us to pray "Our father who art in heaven".

Let me direct you to a site for review so you can ascertain how the translations of the bible has come into being.

http://www.newsweek.com/2015/01/02/thats-not-what-bible-says-294018.html

Wikipedia can also be of help. Or just google it.

You say God has a son. We say God is above that. You worship Isa, Muslims do not. When Isa said " Hear o Israel thy Lord thy God is One"

Kneeling and prostrating are all forms of worship.

Clapping singing dancing have never been forms of worship.

If I call God "My father, My Lord, My King" does that make me and God equal. Or does it reduce the fact that I am mere pencil in the hand of the creator.

If Isa taught you to pray ''our father'', then why don't you muslims pray in that manner but rather prefer to hit your head on the ground while mumbling some silent words?

Muslims think everyone is as gullible as they are. In Christianity, the physical posture you adopt while praying means absolutely nothing. It is the sincerety of the your heart towards God that determines the pureness of a Christians prayers.

Jesus said in John 4:23 that:

....The true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.

That is foundation upon which Christian prayer is built. On spiritual conviction and truth.

As you have mentioned my brother, Jesus also prayed by lifting his eyes to the heavens in 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......


Compare Jesus' lifting of his eyes towards heaven with what Muhammad said about praying in this manner:

Allah's Apostle said: People should avoid lifting their eyes towards the sky while supplicating in prayer, otherwise their eyes would be snatched away

Sahih Muslim vol. I, nos. 863 Chapter CLXXIII



And you can see that Muslims are a confused and pitiful lot of people.

confused fella and his co-drifters.
Jesus being alleged son of God and falling on his face to the ground and praying are two different things. You can't use one's argument to defend the other. Your thread is about how Jesus fell on his face and prayed, If you want to talk about how you believed Jesus was "biological" begotten son of God you can as usual open another thread.
To the topic, You agreed that Jesus indeed fell on his face to the ground and he termed it PRAYING. Now the question is How many times have you (or any other Christian) tried to be Christ-like in this particular mode of prayer. Chances are you have never done that.
Instead you hide behind "praying" in whatever form and manner you like, that's how your Pastors end up raping married women under the guise of special prayer, overnight, in his room, with lights off.....
Also ask yourselves has Jesus ever prayed dancing shoki and twerking ladies?
How is your mode of worship ever Christ-like?
Keep deceiving yourself.

If you want a debate about how Yahshua is the begotten son of God, you can check the below thread.

https://www.nairaland.com/3641267/christians-muslims-where-did-christ


Meanwhile, christ didn't have a particular posture for prayer. He probably fell on his face cos he found the pain he was about to face overwhelming. He himself never ordered us to pray in any posture, he only told us to pray in private and not in public where people can see us. If he wanted us to pray in a certain posture, he would have said so when he taught his disciples how to pray. Don't you think that would have been a perfect time to do such?


Matthew 6:9-13New International Version (NIV)

9 “This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.


Your talk of pastors sleeping with church members doesn't hold water cos Imams and alfas do the same too. Whataever does men do is of their own accord as long as you can't find anyway that can be linked to christ. But mohammad inspired those imams and alfas.

So you are aware of that thread why then are trying to use as a lame defense?
Anyway I thought the whole point of being a Christian is to be Christ-like, but to you imitating him especially in the acts of worship isn't, only doing what he commands is?
Keep your confused religion to yourself, do not worship like Jesus did in that verse, continue to to introduce new beats and dance steps in your so called worships while we Muslims strive to imitate the actions of great servants of God Almighty... Musa, Ibrahim, Haroun, Isah, Yahya.... may the peace and blessings of God be with them all.
