Story of Mary, another tall tale

A scriptural comparison. Notice verse 28, which says "O sister of Aaron". If Mary was the sister of Aaron, then she would be about a 1500 year old virgin when she got pregnant with Jesus. The Quran records the virgin state of Mary, but refuses to admit of a relationship between Jesus and Allah S19(35). “When He decreeth a thing, He saith unto it only: Be! and it is” has nil significance to Allah. Abstraction is characteristic of Allah. Notice the “We” and “Our”. Allah is not singular.  Sura 19 16 And make mention of Mary in the Scripture, when she had withdrawn from her people to a chamber looking East, 17 And had chosen seclusion from them. Then We sent unto her Our Spirit and it assumed for her the likeness of a perfect man. 18 She said: Lo! I seek refuge in the Beneficent One from thee, if thou art God- fearing. 19 He said: I am only a messenger of thy Lord, that I may bestow on thee a faultless son. 20 She said: How can I have a son when no mortal hath touched me, neither...

Jesus is the Truth

God's truth can not be hid Sura 10 35 Say: Is there any of your associates who guides to the truth? Say: Allah guides to the truth. Is He then Who guides to the truth more worthy to be followed, or he who himself does not go aright unless he is guided? What then is the matter with you : how do you judge? 36 And most of them do not follow (anything) but conjecture; surely conjecture will not avail aught against the truth; surely Allah is cognizant of what they do. 37 And this Qur-an is not such as could be forged by those besides Allah, but it is a verification of that which is before it and a clear explanation of the book, there is no doubt in it, from the Lord of the worlds. 38 Or do they say: He has forged it? Say: Then bring a chapter like this and invite whom you can besides Allah, if you are truthful.  39 Nay: they reject that of which they have no comprehensive knowledge, and the final sequel of it has not yet come to them; even thus did those before them reject (the truth); ...

Companions of the Gardens, sura 3

Image
Question- why do I use the biblical scriptures to answer instead of my own judgments? Answer-  For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12.  Romans 10:17 So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.  1Corinthians 1:18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. Sura 3 1. (15) Say, Shall I declare unto you better things than this? For those who are devout are prepared with their Lord gardens through which rivers flow; therein shall they continue for ever: and they shall enjoy wives free from impurity, and the favour of God; for God regardeth his servants, 2. (136) their reward shall be pardon from their Lord, and gardens wherein rivers flow; they shall remain therein forever: and how excellent i...

Companions of the cave, a tall tale

Image
https://a.co/d/9tkWwek A tall story made into religious literature. Plagiarism of all sorts abound in the Quran. The one quoted below is just ridiculous. I guess they did not call Muhammed mad without a reason. Is the Quran indeed a religious book? Shall we believe in comics too? Stan Lee might make a good god, don't you think? Sura 18 IN THE NAME OF THE MOST MERCIFUL GOD. (1) Praise be unto God, who hath sent down unto his servant the book of the QurĂ¡n, and hath not inserted therein any crookedness, (2) but hath made it a straight rule: that he should threaten a grievous punishment unto the unbelievers, from his presence; and should bear good tidings unto the faithful, who work righteousness, that they should receive an excellent reward, namely, paradise, wherein they shall remain for ever:  (3)  and that he should warn those who say, God hath begotten issue; (4) of which matter they have no knowledge, neither had their fathers. A grievous saying it is, which proceedeth from ...
