Where is fellowship and relationship mentioned in your Bible?

You can give us the reference for it! All this theory una dey carry about ehn!
That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.1 John 1:3

If it's not so much about the position we won't see many Prophets including Jesus doing such for their Lord in prayer.

They all could have sang, danced, clapped or just recite the lord's prayer but they didn't!
And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.Mark 14:26
Jesus sang hymn with his disciples.There is a place for everything.

This assertion is purely a conjecture.
So Ahab went to eat and drink. But Elijah climbed to the top of Mount Carmel and bowed low to the ground and prayed with his face between his knees.1 Samuel 18:42
That scripture says he prayed.How is that a conjecture?When you pray, don't you expect an answer?

If that is the case, why did he do the following?

1 Kings 18: 43 “Go and look toward the sea,” he told his servant. And he went up and looked. “There is nothing there,” he said.
Seven times EliYah said, “Go back.”
44 The seventh time the servant reported, “A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea.” So EliYah said, “Go and tell Ahab, ‘Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.’”
He had been praying and waited for an answer from God.When he told his servant to look and the servant reported that he saw a cloud like a hand,he knew his prayer was answered.

How logical is this to you?

See where those people above worshipped like us. Those places are clean secluded places that encourage concentration!

No be only library! Na museum!
Not everyone bows.
When Solomon had finished praying this entire prayer and supplication to the Lord, he arose from before the altar of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread toward heaven. 1Kings 8:54

Can you see Solomon's prayer position?You can kneel or bow or even prostrate in prayer!
It's not so much about the position anyway,it's about the state of your heart.
Religion can give you a position but there's a higher life than religion.It's a relationship,a fellowship.

So Ahab went to eat and drink. But Elijah 'climbed' to the top of Mount Carmel and bowed low to the ground and prayed with his face between his knees.
Lol.You didn't say he also 'climbed' the mountain like a Muslim.

It's the women who attended the service that are stupid.

When there are stupid people,a nincompoop calling himself a pastor will show up.

She was sick, doesn't make her non-human but sexual urge should be the least of her problems.

A 42-year old is still an active, not over used man. Some older men are better performers. Could be he has an underlying condition.
Of course he had underlying issues.Even 60yr olds are good to go.

He will be forced to divest and pull out those monies when that crisis comes.

Well,due to exigencies, the husband's apathetic nature and the wife's unceremonious position,you have to ruminate and decide if being benignant is laudable at this stage or one considers towing the path of frugality and responsibility.
