Prostrate in Bible Vs Quran (3) who is the first man prostrated in the Bible?

In this article, there are five important issues:

1)      Jehovah (and two other men) appeared to Abraham

2)      Abraham Prostrated to Jehovah

3)      Abraham invited Jehovah to:

a)      Wash his feet

b)      Rest under the tree

c)       morsel of bread to strengthen Jehovah's heart

d)      a meal composed of cakes, butter, milk and the calf

4)      Jehovah did all of that as he

a) Washed his feet

b) Rested under the tree

c) Has strengthen his heart

d) Ate the meal

       5) And so did the other two men who were with Jehovah.

In this story,

1)      Abraham is the first man in the history who prostrated to Jehovah

2)      Jehovah, the Lord God, the Almighty Creator, has feet, he rests under the tree, he has strengthened his heart by morsel of bread and he ate cakes, butter, milk and the calf.

In the Quran

1)      Abraham's visitors were the Angels; God was not one of them.

2)      Abraham is NOT the first man in the history who prostrated to God.

3)      Allah, the Almighty Creator, has no feet, he does not rest, He has no heart and He does not eat! Anyone who says or believe in that about the Almighty Creator will end up in the Eternal fire in the Hereafter.

This story of Abraham and his three visitors is mentioned in Genesis 18:1-8; it says:

Jehovah appeared to Abraham by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;

Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing in front of him.

When he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth.

And Abraham said,

  1. "O Lord, if I have found favor in your sight, do not pass by your servant
  2. Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
  3. And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and strengthen ye your heart; after that ye shall pass on: forasmuch as ye are come to your servant.

And they said, "So do, as you have said."

And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said: "Hasten three measures of flour-meal, knead, and make cakes;'

And Abraham ran to the herd and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to a young man, who prepared it quickly.

And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them. And he stood by them under the tree while they ate.

Genesis 18:1-8 (American Standard Version)

1 And Jehovah appeared unto him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;

2 and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood over against him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,

3 and said, My lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:

4 let now a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:

5 and I will fetch a morsel of bread, and strengthen ye your heart; after that ye shall pass on: forasmuch as ye are come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.

6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.

7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto the servant; and he hasted to dress it.

8 And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.

    For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever will believe will have everlasting life and not perish. God is there for nonbelievers also. He wants all of His children back. Seek and you shall find, ask and you shall receive, knock and the door will be opened

    Historic Black College choirs across the country traditionally visit local community churches. For many churches it's reminiscent of a homecoming. Alum, prospective students and the community at large celebrate the choir, enjoy and appreciate the sacred music, pay tribute to loved ones that have helped financially support and embraced the school's mission which instills pride in the hope and dream of surviving and making it in a harsh world. Their presence is a testament of God's goodness.

    The Bible says that Jesus was coming out to the road, a man came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?" Jesus said to him: "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone". Now, who believe in this verse, the Jews or the Christians or the Muslims?

    The Bible says: "One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." They interpret the bride as the New Jerusalem. In the Quran, Jerusalem, the bride of the Lamb, and the Lamb itself are not mentioned therein in the entire Quran.

    Talking about the end of Satan, the Bible says that the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. In the Quran, Satan and his fellows will dwell, in the Hereafter, in the Eternal Fire; however, the Quran says that before he has dwelled in the Eternal Fire, Satan will have an interesting discourse.

    In the Bible, God put this Law: "If a man sells his daughter as a slave, she is not to go free as the male slaves do." This law allows the father to sell his daughter as a slave. On the other hand, Allah did not put such an exciting Law. Now, which book dishonors the female gender, the Bible or the Quran?

    In the Bible, Saint Matthew says: This fulfilled the prophecy of Jeremiah that says, "They took the thirty pieces of silver—the price at which he was valued by the sons of Israel". As a matter of fact, Jeremiah the prophet never ever said that in his book. On the other hand, neither Jeremiah the prophet nor Saint Matthew is mentioned therein in the entire Quran.
