How Old Was Mary When She Had Jesus? by malvisguy212: 7:12am On Jul 10, 2015 |
The Bible gives a good idea but not an exact number of years on how old Mary was when she gave birth to Jesus. the onset of menstruation - during her teenage years, and the wording in the Bible points to this range: Luke 1:26-34 "Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin BETROTHED TO A MAN whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you AMONG WOMEN!” But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.” Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do NOT KNOW A MAN?” She is called a "VIRGIN," but also "AMONG WOMEN." When Gabriel announces her impending conception, she already is "BETROTHED TO A MAN " and expresses knowledge of the need for sexual intercourse to conceive: “How can this be, since I do not know a man?” According to the Bible, Mary was a teenager. But according to the Quran, Mary was about 1,500 years old. Quran 19:27-28 "Then she brought [Jesus] to her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented. O SISTER OF ARRON, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste." - Quran 66:12 "And Mary, the DAUGHTER OF IMRAN , who guarded her chastity, and We breathed into (her body) of our spirit; and she believed in the words of her Lord and of His revelations, and was of the devoutly obedient." But the Mary who is the "daughter of Imran" (spelled "Amram" in the Bible) and the "sister of Aaron" was the sister of Moses who lived in the 15th century BC: Numbers 26:59 "The name of Amram's wife was Jochebed the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt; and to Amram she bore Aaron and Moses and their sister Miriam." Therefore, unless Mary was 1,500 years old when she had Jesus - indeed, unless Joseph married a 1,500 year old virgin - Muhammad mistook two different women in the Bible as the same. 2 Likes 1 Share |

malvisguy212: Indeed this is one of the several areas in the book that is said to have descended from heaven and still has the original in heaven; where well known historical facts were muddled up. Mary is said In sura 3:35-41 to be the sister of Aaron; having been given birth to by Amram's (Imram) wife who is the mother of Aaron and Moses. This is a disaster to Islam. Aaron and Moses his brother died over 1,000 years before Mary the mother of Jesus was born! The truth of the matter is that whoever wrote this part of the Quran mixed up the "Miriam" or "Mariam" sister of Aaron and Moses with the "Mary" the mother of Jesus whose name can also be called "Mariam". So, who made the mistake, Allah or Mohammed? This is a big question that awaits answers. Also, the Quran says Mary and Zachariah were present in the sanctuary when the prophecy about John was given. The truth is that: 1. Mary and Zachariah did not live in the same town. 2. Zachariah received the message about John and his wife was already pregnant for six months before Mary heard about it at all. 3. It was after this that Mary visited Zachariah's house in Judah to spend 3 months with his wife, Elizabeth who was Mary's relative. 4. Mary had already conceived before this trip to Zachariah's house. The Quran even contradicts itself as to how many angels visited Zachariah/Mary. Was it one or many? Sura 3:35-42 says "angels" but sura 19:17 says "our angel" (singular) appeared before Mary "as a man in all respects". Actually, one Jewish book of fables - The Protevangelion's James the Lesser -written before Mohammed around third century A. D. had all these tales. But Jews and Christians could differentiate between their scripture and folktales. Apparently the writer of this part of the Quran couldn't. This is one of the calamities of the book. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

plainbibletruth:God bless you my brother, here is another one: the Quran claims that one night, God took Muhammad to the "al- Aqsa" mosque is in Jerusalem: "Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al- Masjid al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing." - Quran 17:1 The Muslim army conquered Jerusalem in 637 AD and the al-Aqsa mosque was completed in 705 AD. The problem with the above passage in the Quran is that Muhammad died in 632 AD, which was 5years before the Muslim army reached Jerusalem and 73 years before the al- Aqsa mosque was built. 5 Likes 1 Share |

We can estimate her age from this verse; Luke 1:39 King James Version (KJV) 39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; Mary makes a trip of over 100KM from Nazareth to Judea to visit her cousin Elizabeth. That is not a trip a 9 year old can make. I say this because some Muslims reckon she was betrothed under ten years of age. The whole point being equivalence; Mohamed of Quran defiled minors, just as Joseph of the Bible. These guys are sick 2 Likes 1 Share |

Why Quran calls Mary, a Sister of Aaron ? The verse in question is; "O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!" (Al-Qur’an 19:28) It does not mean that here Qur’an calls Mary, the real sister of Aaron, the Prophet who was hundreds of years before her. Here she is only being called a female person of the family, from the Noble lineage of Prophet Aaron. The Qur’anic usage: In order to understand Qur’anic language one must look into other Qur’anic passages. Qur’ans calls Prophet Shoaib as the brother of the people of Midian. Qur’an says; “And unto Midian (We sent) their brother, Shu'eyb." (Al-Qur’an 7:85) And similarly Qur’an calls Prophet Salih, the brother of the people of Thamud. It says; "And unto Thamud (We sent) their brother Salih." (Al-Qur’an 11:61) In both these examples it is never meant that the Prophets were the real brothers of the each and every person of that tribe. It’s only way to address them. It means that Shu'aib was a (male) person from the people of Midian and similarly Salih from the people of Thamud. So in the very same manner when Qur’an describes Mary, the mother of Christ as 'Sister of Aaron', It means that she is being referred to as a (female) person from the people, the lineage of Prophet Aaron. This is infact an Arabic idiom, a way to address. In Arabia a person from the tribe Banu Mudhar may be addressed as Ya Akha Mudhar, meaning 'O the brother of Mudhar'. The Prophetic answer to this question: Mughira b. Shu'ba reported: When I came to Najran, they (the Christians of Najran) asked me: You read" O sister of Aaron", whereas Moses was born much before Jesus. When I came back to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) I asked him about that, whereupon he said: “The (people of the old age) used to call names (of their persons) after the names of the Prophets and pious persons who had gone before them.” (Sahih Muslim, Book on General Behaviour, Hadith 3962) The Holy Prophet (PBUH) meant to say that Mary’s relationship with Prophet Aaron was mentioned because she was of his lineage for among Semites it was common to associate a person with his lineage. This fits the context as well. The people thought that Mary had done something unworthy of a chaste woman and thus as they rebuked her, they first made a reference to her noble ancestry and then testified that even her own father was no wicked person (verse 28). Observations from the Bible: 1- One thing we need to consider is that Qur’an does not call Mary ‘Sister of Moses’ but ‘Sister of Aaron’. 2- Aaron (PBUH) we know was the first in line for the Israelite priesthood. 3- New Testament clearly tells us that Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist (PBUH) was from the lineage of Aaron (Luke 1:5). Also it tells that Mary was a cousin of Elizabeth (1:36). Therefore we can easily call them both ‘Sisters of Aaron’ i.e. from the lineage of Aaron. 4- Infact we have evidence of the similar usage from the Bible. In Genesis 13:8 Abraham and Lot are called brothers while certainly they did not come from loins of one individual. It reads; “And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.” A certain Christian commentator, Adam Clarke says in his commentary to this verse; ‘[It means] we are of the same family, worship the same God in the same way, have the same promises, and look for the same end.’ Was the same not true in case of Mary and Aaron? Were they both not from the same priestly family and of same faith? So the conclusion is that this is only a beautiful way of expression in the Arabic language and to try to twist it some other way speaks only of ones inner wickedness and that’s all!

malvisguy212: Malvis, I've always known you were a foool but this, lol! This is far beyond even you, Masjid is not a building dumbo. Why didn't you ask the same question when muslims used to use the aqsa as their qiblah? Malvis is assuming that a Masjid (سجود) is a structure or building with four walls and a roof. This is incorrect thinking, as a Masjid is a place where sujood (سجود), where prostration occurs. Therefore, as we can see, there is no need for a physical building to be present for an area to be considered a Masjid. Summarily, any place in which sujood/ prostration is done can be called a Masjid. This is also similar to the word Church (ἐκκλησίαν), which merely means the place of an “assembly or congregation”, and not particularly four walls, a roof and a bell tower. The individual who brings forward such an argument would therefore have to be greatly ignorant of Islam, and is merely seeking to conjure a straw man argument (a fallacious argument) by attempting to present an anachronistic error in Islamic teachings. 1 Like |

Re: How Old Was Mary When She Had Jesus? by Nobody: 12:46am On Jul 11, 2015 |
plainbibletruth: There is a very simple explanation, which can be understood from the Qur'an. The events have taken the following sequences: First: Allah (swt) sent the angels to tell Mary (p) about the glad tidings. This is in verse (3:45). Then: After the Angels left Mary (p) she started wondering and prayed to Allah (swt) asking Him in the first part of verse (3:47): "O my Lord!, How shall I have a son when no man has touched me…" Note: Here she didn't ask the angels but she prayed and asked Allah (swt). This means that the Angels have already gone. If the Angels were still there then why she didn't ask them.? So, after she prayed and asked Allah(swt), Allah (swt) sent one angel to Mary (p) to give her His answer in the second part of verse (3:47) "… He said: So (it will be) for Allah creats what He wills. When He has decreed something, He says to it only:"Be!"- and it is." Finally: After a period of time Allah (swt) sent his messenger, the angel Gabriel (p), to grant her a pure child. This is in verse (19:19). In this time she didn't ask Allah as in verse (3:47), but she asked the Angel Gabriel (p) because he was in front of her and she was afraid from him: " How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, nor am I unchaste?" ,verse (19:20) The angel answered her as mentioned in verse (19:21). Isn't this a simple explanation? Clown! 2 Likes |
