From ancient times, the prophets of God including Moses, Joseph, David, Jesus, the angles of God and many others have made it their custom to greet the believers with the words "Peace be with you." This can be seen in such verses as:
Genesis 43:23 "And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them."
Judges 6:23 "And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die."
1 Samuel 25:6 "And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast."
Numbers 6:26 "The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace."
1 Samuel 1:17 "Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace"
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 ".....came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you."
John 20:26 "........then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you."
And especially:
Luke 10:5 "And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house."
Can anyone guess what Muhammad (pbuh) taught his followers to say when greeting each other or departing from each other? You guessed it! "Assalam alaikum" or "Peace be unto you." Have you ever met a Christian who greets others with the words of Jesus (pbuh): "Peace be unto you" or departs with those words?

sometimes my friends and i say "grace and peace", like Paul did.
i like it that the angels when they appear are always saying "fear not!"
which tells me that if they have to keep saying that, they must be realllly scary.

chessiejo sometimes my friends and i say "grace and peace", like Paul did. i like it that the angels when they appear are always saying "fear not!" which tells me that if they have to keep saying that, they must be realllly scary. Or it could be because they are nearly identical to demons in looks and so must tell others not to fear them, seeing as demons (according to christian mythology) are just angels that were convinced that Satan was greater than god. Or in a lighter note, being basically soldiers of god, their immense power or the fact they may be so new to us could be what frightens humans.
