Of course has clearly explained by the Prophet Muhammad!
All that you are still doing is to state that you do what you do today because your prophets and people of old did it. 

The question you're yet to answer is: why did they do it? 
Why did Hagar run between two mountains?
Is running between two mountains of any significance to you, if so how?
What benefit is there in doing this and other rituals?

Yes your forebears did it, but for what purpose? Simply stating that you do it because they did it doesn't answer the 'why?'.

Water brain! Go back and read again, stop deluding yourself. I don't why you guys are so dumb.
It appears that until you resort to abuses you never feel normal.
It is also obvious when you guys are not able to answer simple questions.
Why don't you either simply cut and paste the answers or ADMIT that you don't have the answers?
Lol!

This was the reply brother lanrex lan gave him:




Can we still after the underlined say this practise was copied from the pagans? NO. This reply has been brought to his face times without number. But due to the fact that they are not ready for the truth but silly back and forte arguement, he turned blind eye on it.
Demmzy15, Rilwayne001:
Muslims would have us believe that their ritual are based on what older people like Abraham, Hagar, etc did. 
IT IS CLEAR that they agree that the earlier pagans practiced the same rituals they do today. 

What I find you guys repeating IS NOT EXPLANATION of why these rituals are being performed but merely restating that they've always been performed. 
 
So the questions still remain:
1. Of what SIGNIFICANCE is Muslims' ritual of running between two mountains SIMPLY because Hagar did it?
2. What does what Hagar did REPRESENT
3. What is the VALUE in it? 
4. If the pagan generations that practiced these things before Mohammed "replaced the same and other fabrications in dedication to their idols." how did Mohammed and Islam come to UNDERSTAND them?
IslamRe: Muslims: Can You Clear These? by plainbibletruth: 8:53am On Jul 22, 2015
Indeed not everyone is manipulated by satan. 

So much incongruity in Islam! 

Do 'A', no, don't do 'A'

You're allowed to do this, no, you're not allowed to do this. 

You can have 'B', no, you can't have 'B'

How do they keep their heads in one piece? I wonder, I just wonder. Lol! and smh!

haftob:
Ohk, tanx. About if his cramming was recited correctly; Angel gabriel used to come every night during the month of ramadan to come and revise it with him to make sure he dint forget anytin during his lifetime. And about if those who wrote it down actually wrote the correct things they heard; Muhammed was teaching them as he was being taught too in oral form and they memorise it also. The compilation(writing) started some yrs after his death and ppl dat already memorised the whole quran were called to recite it and it was being written down.

The Quran was actually revealed in piecemeal for 21 yrs as events occured, so each verse has a significance and reason why it was revealed. There was a man during the time of Muhammad named Ibn kathir, anytime Muhammad taught them a verse,he'll ask the reason behind the revelation and he would be told, so this man wrote a tafsir(commentary) book on the Quran.
[/size]

So the Quran is incomplete then without the tafsir(commentary) since they are the reason behind the revelation. And another person had to also write this down from Mohammed's 'dictation'? 

BTW, since, like you stated, Mohammed 'dictated' both why were they not put together as one book? Or why didn't Allah just give Mohammed a simple version of the book in heaven that wouldn't require addendum. 

Remember too that the Quran is supposed to be easy to understand.
IslamRe: Muslims: Why The Attempt To Kill Jesus? by plainbibletruth:
haftob:
Stop being Insolent, I was replying the person quoting me according to the level of the knowledge he has about the quran. Do u expect me to start explaining that God sent and Angel to recite it to him and he was cramming it blah blah blah.
First, this is an open forum!
I hope you know what that means?

Maybe next time you need to make clear and direct statements. 
You said: 
"it was his God that dictated the quran to him not that he wrote it on his own."
what do you want any reader to get from that?
Is it that they should be able to know that you did not mean Allah dictated it to him but that he sent " Angel to recite it to him"
And also they should also know from that statement alone that he did not write it but "he was cramming it blah blah blah."

What would it have taken you to say it as it was?

BTW, can we be REALLY SURE that:
1. His cramming was recited correctly to those who wrote it?
2. Those who WROTE the recitations actually wrote down the exact things they heard?
IslamRe: Muslims: Why The Attempt To Kill Jesus? by plainbibletruth: 2:47pm On Jul 19, 2015
haftob:
Wow! Good u knw it was his God that dictated the quran to him not that he wrote it on his own. So I tink wat u need now is to study Islam with an unbiased mind and u'll be convinced that it is the only true religion.
If you think it was Mohammed who PERSONALLY wrote down what was 'revealed' to him then you still have a lot to learn about your Quran and Islam.

Maybe you should take time and study the origin of the Quran, the mode of compilation and how the current edition came to be.

Man, that they call him the messiah doesn't mean they believe he is the messiah. They were mocking him.
You said your Quran says the Jews mocked him. But that's not so. 
It was the Roman soldiers that did:
From the Bible portion you quoted. 

You cannot "stamp" this portion of the Bible on the Jews. Trying to 'use' any passage of the Bible to justify your claims is deceitful. 

You failed here to show that what you said about the Jews is true; either from the Quran or the Bible. Your claim is just your mere speculation which you wanted to force into the whole picture.

Rilwayne001:
Get this to your dead brain Mr. man. This is just sarcastic mockery on their part, much in the same way that the Romans mocked Jesus in the Bible:

Matthew 27:29 and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand. Then they knelt in front of him and mocked him. “Hail, king of the Jews!” they said.

Does that mean they believe he is the king of jews?
[/size]

Notice It was actually the soldiers that did this:

Matthew 27:
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor's headquarters, and they gathered the whole battalion before him.
28 And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him,
29 and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

You can see how as a result of either misunderstanding, but more likely that of deliberately wanting to twist the truth, a portion of the Bible is taken out of context by you.
Christianity EtcRe: My Experience With A Young Christian Girl by plainbibletruth: 9:52am On Jul 16, 2015
[quote author=MizJanet post=35917938][/quote]From your initial conversation (whether  real or imaginary) your purpose is to 'force' your meaning into the words of the passages you picked. 
"people say" .... but ...."brought forth"
"but why are christians not consistent and straight forward ?"
Your goal then is to arrive at a conclusion that will discredit the position of others. 

Incidentally you deliberately refused to respond to the post that showed you how the use of "brought forth" does not necessarily translate to "create" in Matthew 1:25. You know it will punch a big hole in your argument. 

What you seem to be doing is to say that Jesus Christ is not God. In spite of the supremacy of Jesus stated in the Quran and secular history it is amazing that many Muslims and atheists battle to reduce him to the level of other 'ordinary' prophets and would rather revere those other 'ordinary' prophets than Jesus. The Bible then becomes the battle ground where they seek to do this. How sad!

Like NumberOne2 said:
"A simple understanding of context would have spared us all this mess."
And also that:
"You CANNOT use the same context in ALL situations!"

What you intend to do is cause confusion so that in the process you can attempt to invalidate the Bible. 

Take a lesson from that portion of Proverbs you "picked" from: 
"5 O simple ones, learn prudence; O fools, learn sense. 
6 Hear, for I will speak noble things, and from my lips will come what is right, 
7 for my mouth will utter truth; wickedness is an abomination to my lips. 
8 All the words of my mouth are righteous; there is nothing twisted or crooked in them. 
9 They are all straight to him who understands, and right to those who find knowledge."

"35 For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the LORD, 
36 but he who fails to find me injures himself; all who hate me love death."

Christianity EtcRe: Is The NIV Version Of The Holy Bible Anti-Christ? by plainbibletruth: 8:40pm On Jul 12, 2015
This relates to this topic: An Official Response From NIV publishers

HERE IS AN OFFICIAL RESPONSE FROM NIV BIBLE PUBLISHERS!
Dear, Thank you for checking on this before forwarding such false and misleading statements. It is good to see a Christian who uses their mind before simply believing such nonsense.
These statements are false and silly and promoted either by those who don't know any better or who are intentionally trying to mislead. They have been promoted by some people for the last 40 years or so, but were refuted by good conservative scholars from the very beginning.
First, the NIV does not remove ANY verses. Instead, like all good Bible translations, the NIV omits statements that were added later and WERE NOT PART OF THE ORIGINAL TEXT. When the KJV was translated, the translators had only a few manuscripts of the New Testament available to them and these were very late (mostly from the Middle Ages). We now have hundreds of earlier and more reliable manuscripts. Scholars today recognize that we have a Greek text today that is much closer to the original than the KJV translators had available to them. So all modern versions (except the NKJV) use these older manuscripts. Even the NKJV puts the better readings in the footnotes (look for the abbreviation NU, which refers to the earlier and better manuscripts).
Remember that the original books of the Bible had no chapter or verse divisions. These were added later. So to say that there are "verses" missing is wrong. What are "missing" are phrases or sentences that were added by later scribes and were not part of the original text. The NIV, like all modern versions, seeks to preserve what was originally there. Read the Preface to the NIV and some of this is explained.
As far as the homosexual statement is concerned, this is simply false. None of the translators of the NIV were homosexuals (or Satanists!). All were conservative evangelical Christians fully committed to the inspiration and inerrancy of the text. For the names of the present and past committee members, see http://www.biblica.com/en-us/the-niv-bible/meet-the- translators/ http://www.bible-researcher.com/niv-translators.html
Just check passages on homosexuality in the NIV and you will see that the NIV is not "soft" on homosexuality. Here are the main passages:
Lev. 18:22 “ ‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.
Lev. 20:13 “ ‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Rom. 1:26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
1Cor. 6:9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
1Tim. 1:9 We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine
So you see, these accusations are false and slanderous. It is a shame that many Christians are out to attack others rather than to promote the good news.
Thanks again for your question.
Blessings, Mark Strauss

[quote author=RagnarLodbrok post=35762600]Ahhh! Jesus Moses and every other prophet excluding the Abraham during the isra and miraj called Muhammad brother, not son, were they not born hundreds of years before, why do all muslims call each other brother?
I thought you were asking yourself sometime ago why you're still here. Apparently you cannot resist the allure!

Did you say here that Jesus called Mohammed 'brother'? Really?

And you're stating all these to show that Allah, dictating to Mohammed, would refer to Mary the mother of Jesus as 'sister' of Aaron who lived hundreds of years before her rather than as 'daughter' of Aaron?

I don't know how much clearer this needs to be.
You cann't make it clearer because there's nothing for you to make clear. 


Uhhhm yes! If it wasn't a noble association why would it be used as a way to infer that an unholy act is not expected from her?



Me? Craftily? Loool! Again it's in the Quran dumbas*, what did I insert?
Imram, the father of Aaron, Moses and their sister Miriam is not the father of Mary the mother of Jesus. The Quran confused issues here. 


Scholar was asking me questions about Joachim and Catholics and what not, why the hell should that be my problem? That is an issue of christian confusion. None of my beeswax.
Even direct questions about the thread and what you post are ignored by you when you realize they are going to expose you. 

twist and turns?


See the problem with you is you just like arguing, and you make a fool out of yourself in the process, some of your claims I just look at and burst into laughter, sometimes I wonder if you're actually serious, that's why I call you a clown!
Added to these, 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.
Christianity EtcRe: How Old Was Mary When She Had Jesus? by plainbibletruth: 11:25pm On Jul 11, 2015
[quote author=RagnarLodbrok post=35758644][/quote]Look at what you wrote:
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.
Is it logical that Mary who was born hundreds after Aaron will be called 'sister' rather than 'daughter'?
Here 'she is only being called a female person of the family' huh
Even Jesus was referred to as 'son of David' not 'brother' of David. 
In the same Quran she is called 'daughter' huh??


Then this;
 
In 19:27-28, Mary was clearly being reminded of her association with great patriarchs such as Prophet Aaron (pbuh) who according to Jewish sources, was considered the first High Priest of the Israelites and through whom the priestly decendancy of his tribe, the Levites continued.
Is the Quran written hundreds of years after Mary 'reminding' Mary?
Mary's lineage was clearly Judah so the Quran could have made this clear. 

And then:
Mary was clearly reminded of her 'noble associations' with Prophet Aaron's (pbuh) noble descendants when the charge of being unchaste was levied against her. In this manner, she would have been referred to Prophet Aaron (pbuh) as connected to him by faith (as a sister) and not in lineage.
So it's now the case of 'noble associations' with Aaron. Interesting, isn't it?

And:
No! Imran is the father of Mary mother of Jesus (pbuh). Not Mary sister of Moses.
You now craftily try to insert a name into the father of Mary to make up your razzmatazz. 

And:
That's none of our problem that's yours.

The debate here is about the name of Mary's father according to christians, has nothing to do with us.
Where you can find no 'trick' to use you shove it aside. Again, interesting!

You can see how you've been doing your twists and turns!

Christianity EtcRe: How Old Was Mary When She Had Jesus? by plainbibletruth: 9:17pm On Jul 11, 2015
These guys know that the book they claim came down from heaven has a lot of flaws. In order to explain away the flaws they resort to looking for ways to confuse issues raised. 

If ALL the intelligent Muslim scholars cannot translate the archaic language that gives room for speculations of Muslim commentators into something more understandable then that speaks volume of their competence. 

A book which on one hand claims it makes things so clear and simple that anybody can understand and then on the other hand says no one knows its [true] interpretation except Allah has set up itself as a deception. 

How do we know those portions that are 'clear and simple' and those that 'no one knows its [true] interpretation'? This then is confusion at it's heights for those who choose to go by it. 

As a result those trying to 'explain' it resort to all sorts of gimmicks in their attempts to 'interpret' it. 

This is what is happening here!

First it's the Quran that is quoted. Then they run to the Bible. Thereafter it's resort to the Hadith. Where the Hadith is proven to go against the Quran they resort to explaining away which is superior and which is inferior. 

Quran quotes from Bible and we find the same words in the Bible today. So for some Muslim 'scholars' to doubt its authenticity is the height of arrogance. 

Isn't it strange that no Muslim ever fought to retain any copy of the Bible (in whatever form they were) that the Quran mentioned severally whereas copies of Islamic tradition materials were guarded with every fiber of their being? 

Any Muslim has the fundamental human right to continue with a lie with eagerness and face the ultimate result - hell,  or choose the truth with the corresponding result of eternity with God.  
Christianity EtcRe: How Old Was Mary When She Had Jesus? by plainbibletruth: 6:04pm On Jul 11, 2015

There's a whole passage in the Quran dedicated to this, it's called suratul Ali Imran.

Speaks of imran (Joachim as you know him), Anne, and how they were old and craved a child after seeing a bird feed its young ones.



What now?



It's quite obvious, if Angels came to her but then she was praying to her lord before an angel came to further explain, does that not mean the Angels weren't there? Grow a brain! grin



3:7
Sahih International
It is He who has sent down to you, [O Muhammad], the Book; in it are verses [that are] precise - they are the foundation of the Book - and others unspecific. As for those in whose hearts is deviation [from truth], they will follow that of it which is unspecific, seeking discord and seeking an interpretation [suitable to them]. And no one knows its [true] interpretation except Allah . But those firm in knowledge say, "We believe in it. All [of it] is from our Lord." And no one will be reminded except those of understanding.

There are straightforward verses, and there are some no muslim evn tries to interpret because their meanings are known only to Allah.


U hmmm! Just to point out christian hypocrisy.

Tell us these:

2. Where is it in that Quran passage that:
" after the Angels have already given her the news and were not present she then prayed to Allah after she got curious and an angel was sent."
!
3. If, like you said about the Quran:
"no one knows its [true] interpretation except Allah"
How do you now KNOW whether this your INTERPRETATION is "true"?

In a bid to confuse issues you run from the Quran to the Bible but still claim the same Bible you quote is not quite right.

Looool! Clown!
Where did the Quran state this your sequence dummy?

The events have taken the following sequences:

First:
the angels went to Mary 

Then:
 Mary started wondering and prayed 

[Note: Here she didn't ask the angels but she prayed and asked Allah. 
This means that the Angels have already gone. If the Angels were still
there then why she didn't ask them.?] whose footnote us this; yours or the Quran's? So you have craftily created A GAP between verses 45 and 47: angels were talking to Mary but according to you she never asked the angels what bothered her about their message. Was it out of fear or what? Maybe your 'creative' mind should tell us. 

Even though it's not there in the Quran you also added this:
So, after she prayed and asked Allah sent one angel to Mary to give her His answer in the second part of verse (3:47) "… 

Finally:
After a period of time Allah  sent the angel Gabriel to grant her a pure child. This is in verse (19:19).

Christianity EtcRe: How Old Was Mary When She Had Jesus? by plainbibletruth: 1:04am On Jul 11, 2015
[size=5pt]
RagnarLodbrok:
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!

Christianity EtcRe: How Old Was Mary When She Had Jesus? by plainbibletruth: 12:58am On Jul 11, 2015

RagnarLodbrok:
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!

INDEED ALLAH KNOWS THE BEST!

Maybe you should just have only quoted your last statement and left it at that.

If it has to take 'explaining' away the plain meaning of words to understand the Quran that describes itself as clear and simple, don't you think something is wrong?

This your 'explanation' will be debunked in details later. 

Your inability to face my questions is showing you for who you are - fakes!

In a bid to run for cover you're now taking up more 'fanciful' monikers. Perhaps it's part of the plan for DECEPTION of the unsuspecting.

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.
Waiting for Rilwayne001 & company to 'explain' this!
Maybe Allah was still revising the Quran 73 years after Mohammed's death.

the quran is a joke.
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.

Even in the face of facts there are those who will still choose to hold on to the contrary. 

A lie repeated well enough becomes accepted as true. The power of repetition has been used by many Muslims to fool other Muslims and even non-Muslims into accepting claims that are non-existent in the Quran. 

The Muslim has been made to repeat some things for so long that it has virtually become impossible for him to imagine the error of such statements or even think through such statements to see errors.  

Any honest Muslim who goes through the Quran carefully cannot but realize that even in the Quran Jesus is more than a prophet; indeed more than all the other prophets. 

No one can face a wrong direction and find himself in the right destination.
