And fundamental Christianity is what? Hitler, PKK, Lord Resistant Army, Colonialism, American Crusade in the Middle East and ors?

I wish to recommend a section with strict terms and conditions for members of the Christian faith share ideas and comment so that other religion members will not post mockery comments about Christianity. It should be strick for Christians just like the Muslim section.

That is the way they did it at that time not a prescription from the Bible.
If that's the way it's supposed to be, that means everybody in the New Testament: the disciples, Paul, even Jesus were all doing nonsense.
Don't say what you don't understand.
#KnowThyself

Every prophets mentioned in the monotheistic religions used this Way of saying thanks or praying to GOD, the postures use is also beneficial when you are at a mediated state of mind (also it improves your respiratory functions which is miraculous) since this question is specific on Jesus, in Islamic context we believe he worshipped GOD in this way, as Muslim believes he was not lord himself as there is one God! However prior to Jesus many prophets before him prayed in this way. Since the modern alternatives being adapted into the Christian faith this way of praying may not have been highly interpreted or used as Islam brought the 5 times prayer system where muhammad constantly used the same posture for his prayers.

However, please see below references to illustrates the same :

These are some of the Prophets whom GOD blessed. They were chosen from among the descendants of Adam, and the descendants of those whom we carried with Noah, and the descendants of Abraham and Israel, and from among those whom we guided and selected. When the revelations of the Most Gracious are recited to them, they fall prostrate, weeping." – Qur’an English Translation [19:58]

"And he (Jesus) 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." - New Testament (Matthew 26:39)

"And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid." - New Testament (Matthew 17:6)

"And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying," - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Genesis 17:3)

"Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?" - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Genesis 17:17)

"And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped." - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Exodus 34:cool

“And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.” - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Numbers 20:6)

"And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?" - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Numbers 16:20-22)

And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with [their] faces to the ground. - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Nehemiah 8:6)

"And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant?" - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Joshua 5:14)

"And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?" - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Ezekiel 9:cool

"And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD." - Old Testament (Tanakh) (2 Chronicles 20:18)

"And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?" - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Ezekiel 11:13)

The op talks about sexual immorality and everyone here acting like they didn't see that part.

It so sad that the church, mosque are not doing anything about fornication. They want to keep their members so they hardly preach against it..Rather is prosperity..

If God decide to destroy the world today...Only about 10millions will survive out of the over 6 billions.

Such a hypocritical post.
You refer to traditional religions as paganism and made mention of sacrifices .
What exactly are those turkey , cocks and goats killed during Christmas and Easter ?
Plant sacrifice?
Talking about blood and human misery , it will take a million years for the so called pagans to match the quantity of blood shed by you Abrahamic( Islam and Christainity ) adherents.
I am only talking about the blood shed in you r holy books here. Not talking about those not there.

Killing chicken to eat and merry is not the same as killing ram or goat or chicken to appease one god or oracle.

Christians don't kill chicken as a sacrifice. The chicken u eat must be killed to be eaten. Not killed and offered to one god or oracle. Besides its not mandatory. Not all christians kill chicken. Some dont even eat anything. depending on your money and joy at heart.

Don't twist christianity please.. go to church and learn the word of God. God never asked us to kill anything as sacrifice. Instead he said kill and eat. Not kill and appease or sacrifice. No.

11. Not worshipping God the way the Bible prescribed

Nehemiah 8New International Version (NIV)

8
1 all the people came together as one in the square before the Water Gate. They told Ezra the teacher of the Law to bring out the Book of the Law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded for Israel.

2 So on the first day of the seventh month Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly, which was made up of men and women and all who were able to understand. 3 He read it aloud from daybreak till noon as he faced the square before the Water Gate in the presence of the men, women and others who could understand. And all the people listened attentively to the Book of the Law.

4 Ezra the teacher of the Law stood on a high wooden platform built for the occasion. Beside him on his right stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah and Maaseiah; and on his left were Pedaiah, Mishael, Malkijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah and Meshullam.

5 Ezra opened the book. All the people could see him because he was standing above them; and as he opened it, the people all stood up. 6 Ezra praised the Lord, the great God; and all the people lifted their hands and responded, “Amen! Amen!” Then they bowed down and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground.

7 The Levites—Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan and Pelaiah—instructed the people in the Law while the people were standing there. 8 They read from the Book of the Law of God, making it clear[a] and giving the meaning so that the people understood what was being read.

Guy that was the Old Testament. Ur Bible no get New Testament. Pray for Understanding from God b4 reading d Bible or else u are going 2 get really lost coz there are so many conflicting parts in d Bible.

You mean you're proud of terrorism, poverty, illiteracy and backwardness?


A female professor from the renowned Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt, says that Muslim men are allowed by Allah to rape non-Muslim women in order to “humiliate” them. Professor Suad Saleh made the bold claims while being interviewed on Al-Hayat TV. The professor says that the rape is allowed during times of “legitimate war” between Muslims and their enemies.

Mr OP while you may have made good points I want you to know you failed at your heading; NOTHING and NO ONE can kill christianity. Jesus said not even the gates of hell (ie satan hand his cohorts) can prevail against His church, how much more us humans. So the more humanity deteriorates the more the church and practice of christianity wax strong

Spiritual enlightenment is not in church doctrines and traditions but a DIY experience with the Eternal Source.

Some pastors/churches have arrogated the role of God, blind folding the congregants who are glad to shift the responsibility of (individual) spiritual Awakening and growth to a pastor.

It's only an enlightened soul that can love a brother or see something good in him who is of a different religious belief, knowing that they are climbing the same mountain whose apex is their eternal destination.

Funny thing is that burnt offering and others were quite normal in old testament. Taking animals to the temple/synagogue during certain festivities like The Feast of Atonement (Yom Kippur) Leviticus 23:27-28. When a bull was slaughtered.

We Africans just know religion superficially & then use that to pontificate & condemn their own culture/history.
