Who follow the Lord Jesus in his Word of Greeting?

The Muslims or the Christians?

The greeting words of the Christians:

When Christians meet, it is customary to give some greeting words.

The common words used by the Christians on meeting are:

§  Hi §  Hello §  Greetings §  Hey §  What is up? §  How is it going? §  Holla (Mix of Slang) §  How are you? §  Have a nice day

  • How do you do?
  • Good morning
  • Good afternoon
  • Good evening
  • Good day
  • Pleased to meet you
  • Nice meeting you
  • How are you?

---------------------------------

The greeting word of the Muslims:

When Muslims meet, it is customary to give the greeting of peace that is pronounced as "Assalaamu alaykum".

Assalaamu alaykum has a meaning; it means: "May you remain safe from pain, sorrow or harm."

The meaning of salaam (literally, peace) is harmlessness, safety and protection from evil and from faults.

The name al-Salaam is a Name of Allah, may He be exalted, so the deep meaning of the greeting of salaam which is required among Muslims is, "May the blessing of His Name descend upon you."

The Muslims use the preposition ‘ala in ‘alaykum (that means upon you); it indicates that the greeting is inclusive.

It is said that this word of greeting "Assalaamu alaykum" is the word of greeting used by the all the Prophets from Noah up to Muhammad.

---------------------------------

The greeting word of the Lord Jesus:

Now, let us see the word of greeting used by the Lord Jesus in the Bible (King James Version)

Luke 24:36

And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

John 20:19

Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

John 20:26

And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

Peace be unto you = Assalaamu alaykum

---------------------------------

Now, the question is:

Who follow the Lord Jesus in his word of greeting, the Muslims or the Christians?

Remember that Jesus spoke Aramaic language that is one of the versions of the Arabic language.

    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.
