Christains, how do you explain that all the women with Jesus ie Mary, dressed like Muslims?

+Why did jesus pray like Muslims?(washing first / head on the floor)

+ Why did he do a ramadam for 40 days and nights

+Why only eat halal food

Update:

@angeltre

Matthew 26:39 - Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”

Update 2:

"And he (Jesus) went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed..."-(MATTHEW 26:39).

"And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship..."-(JOSHUA 5:14).

@angeltre

"And he (Elijah) cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees."-(1 KINGS 18:42).

"And they (Moses and Aaron) fell upon their faces..."-(NUMBERS 20:6).

"And Abraham fell on his face..."-(GENESIS 17:3).

    Whatever are you talking about?

    Jesus lived 2000 years ago. I don't think any women were wearing jeans and tee shirts back then.

    Jesus was Jewish, and so followed the Law as given to Israel by Moses.

    Many Christians still try to do that today.

    As for the hand washing...Sweetie, you need to read the Bible. For instance, this passage from Mark 7:

    2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.

    3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

    4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.

    5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?

    6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me

    Or from Matthew:

    19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

    20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

    I don't have any idea where you got the notion that Jesus prayed with His head on the floor...it doesn't say that anywhere in the Bible at all, nor anywhere else that I've ever heard of.

    Actually To all people saying Qur'an copied Jesus

    Mohammad and Jesus aren't separated from each other

    they are both prophets , to spread love and religion , so yea Mohammad only came to complete what the last

    prophets did , the same message that there is no god but one , Mohammad loved Jesus as a prophet

    But Christians lost the way , even if you read the bible you will know that they are not following it

    So Mohammad and Jesus came with the same message of peace and the message of one god only

    Women with Jesus dressed like Jewish, not muslims. If you are referring to the cover on their head, men also wore covers on their head.

    It is sufficient to be clean before approaching god, and it is required to be in a position to show humiliation before God. However Jesus only knelled once and did not go up and down like Muslims do. (If he did, the accounts would say such a remarkable act).

    Jesus did not do a "ramadan" for 40 days. He fasted for 40 days. Ramadan is a month in the Islamic calendar and is 30 days long. How could he do a "ramadan" for 40 days then? He did fast for 40 days in order to focus on his upcoming ministry.

    The Jewish laws banned eating blood in food.

    Jesus did an absolute "fast " no food or water.

    Muslims Ramadan is a " TYPE " of fast...they eat and drink within the 40 days

    both christianity and islam church were both based on judaism. similarities between the two religions (clothes, pray) can be based from their original source. that alone would answer your question i guess.

    the differences though. i have no idea. may be because of the different teachings of the prophet Muhammad and Jesus Christ

    Muhammad teachers are Christians and Jews, including his ex-wife Khadija and his greatest teachers Warakah are also Christians.

    Taqiyya has deceived entire Islam religion. Because the true is: Muhammad & Quran never prevent Muslim to read the Bible or hostile the Christians.

    And that Muslims pray in prostration like Jesus did, according to the Bible?

    The clothing is not religious, but, cultural. People in the Middle East dressed a certain way - women had their hair covered, be they Jewish, Christian, r Muslim. This is just one example.
