1. Before the Bible was ever written, there have been many God-men from antiquity with life and stories that are an uncanny copy of the Jesus of the Bible.

Oteneaaron can you prove that those God men from antiquity existed?

No one can prove that Jesus is myth

MaxInDHouse:


NO Sir!
It's between just two persons:
Oteneaaron (atheist/agnostic) and MaxInDHouse (a Christian)
Thanks Sir!

Jesus is real!

This challenge is for all christians

Luke 18:10-13
[10]“Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a despised tax collector.
[11]The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer: ‘I thank you, God, that I am not a sinner like everyone else. For I don’t cheat, I don’t sin, and I don’t commit adultery. I’m certainly not like that tax collector!
[12]I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.’
[13]“But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, ‘O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.’

There are many correct postures for prayer and no one posture is right or wrong. The Bible exhorts Christians to pray without ceasing and that necessitates various positions for prayer--no one can remain in just one position all day! But in the Bible, we can see people praying in various positions:

Standing (Genesis 24:12-14)
Lifting the hands (1 Timothy 2:
Sitting (Judges 20:26)
Kneeling (Mark 1:40)
Looking upward (John 17:1)
Bowing down (Exodus 34:
Placing the head between the knees (1 Kings 18:42)
Pounding on the breast (Luke 18:13)
Facing the temple (Daniel 6:10)
Rather than external positioning, the Bible emphasizes the posture of the heart. Whether you are standing, sitting, or lying down, the important thing is that your heart is bowed in submission to the lordship of Christ. False religion places a premium on external behavior, while true Christianity is concerned with the heart. And true prayer is characterized by an attitude of humility before God-not the physical posture of the person praying.

Prostration is the best position to communicate with Allah and a true Muslim would prostrate over 34 times daily in Prayer!

....

Kobojunkie:
All of what you claim here is meaningless this since God never commanded a prayer posture/posture for his people.

You are free to pray in whatever position you want.... it does not matter what position you do, as what matters is that your Prayer is instead done in obedience of God's actual commandments.
