Why would Mohamed (Pbuh)

undermine jesus as a prophet or even as a GOD cos how could GOD or the son of GOD be poor.He should own everything in this world.

35. (Remember) when the wife of 'Imrân said: "O my Lord! I have vowed to You what (the child that) is in my womb to be dedicated for Your services (free from all worldly work; to serve Your Place of worship), so accept this, from me. Verily, You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knowing."

36. Then when she delivered her [child Maryam (Mary)], she said: "O my Lord! I have delivered a female child," - and Allâh knew better what she delivered, - "And the male is not like the female, and I have named her Maryam (Mary), and I seek refuge with You (Allâh) for her and for her offspring from Shaitan (Satan), the outcast."

37. So her Lord (Allâh) accepted her with goodly acceptance. He made her grow in a good manner and put her under the care of Zakariyâ (Zachariya). Every time he entered Al-Mihrâb to (visit) her , he found her supplied with sustenance. He said: "O Maryam (Mary)! From where have you got this?" She said, "This is from Allâh." Verily, Allâh provides sustenance to whom He wills, without limit."

38. At that time Zakariyâ (Zachariya) invoked his Lord, saying: "O my Lord! Grant me from You, a good offspring. You are indeed the All-Hearer of invocation."

39. Then the angels called him, while he was standing in prayer in Al-Mihrâb (a praying place or a private room), (saying): "Allâh gives you glad tidings of Yahya (John), confirming (believing in) the Word from Allâh [i.e. the creation of 'Iesa (Jesus), the Word from Allâh ("Be!" - and he was!)], noble, keeping away from sexual relations with women, a Prophet, from among the righteous."

40. He said: "O my Lord! How can I have a son when I am very old, and my wife is barren?" Allâh said: "Thus Allâh does what He wills."

41. He said: "O my Lord! Make a sign for me." Allâh said: "Your sign is that you shall not speak to mankind for three days except with signals. And remember your Lord much (by praising Him again and again), and glorify (Him) in the afternoon and in the morning."

42. And (remember) when the angels said: "O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allâh has chosen you, purified you (from polytheism and disbelief), and chosen you above the women of the 'Alamîn (mankind and jinns) (of her lifetime)."

43. O Mary! "Submit yourself with obedience to your Lord (Allâh, by worshipping none but Him Alone) and prostrate yourself, and Irkâ'i (bow down etc.) along with Ar-Râki'ûn (those who bow down etc.)."

44. This is a part of the news of the Ghaib (unseen, i.e. the news of the past nations of which you have no knowledge) which We inspire you with (O Muhammad You were not with them, when they cast lots with their pens as to which of them should be charged with the care of Maryam (Mary); nor were you with them when they disputed.

45. (Remember) when the angels said: "O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allâh gives you the glad tidings of a Word ["Be!" - and he was! i.e. 'Iesa (Jesus) the son of Maryam (Mary)] from Him, his name will be the Messiah 'Iesa (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), held in honour in this world and in the Hereafter, and will be one of those who are near to Allâh."

46. "He will speak to the people in the cradle and in manhood, and he will be one of the righteous."

47. She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me." He said: "So (it will be) for Allâh creates what He wills. When He has decreed something, He says to it only: "Be!" and it is.

48. And He (Allâh) will teach him ['Iesa (Jesus)] the Book and Al-Hikmah (i.e. the Sunnah, the faultless speech of the Prophets, wisdom, etc.), (and) the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel).
49. And will make him ['Iesa (Jesus)] a Messenger to the Children of Israel (saying): "I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I design for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allâh's Leave; and I heal him who was born blind, and the leper, and I bring the dead to life by Allâh's Leave. And I inform you of what you eat, and what you store in your houses. Surely, therein is a sign for you, if you believe.

50. And I have come confirming that which was before me of the Taurât (Torah), and to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden to you, and I have come to you with a proof from your Lord. So fear Allâh and obey me.

51. Truly! Allâh is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him (Alone). This is the Straight Path.

What does this mean that Mary was to be exempt from all worldly work? She was not a priestess as indicated here ... to serve your place of worship ... unless of course, her offspring here is referring to what would be worshipped..

Why does it say the male is not like the female? I mean we know this, this is not revelatory in distinguishing sexes at birth...

So the Quran acknowledges that Mary's baby came from Allah....

Did he really need to make this invocation? As the offspring was already for Allah anyway, which would mean that it would be a good offspring.....

Yes, here the Quran admits Jesus is the Word from Allah. He is the Word of God. What is the Word of God?.....

Was Joseph very old? Or has Mohammed switched back to Abraham and Sara here? Mary was a young woman and was not barren......

Why three days? Is this an inference to the Trinity?

Mary was a devout Jew! Why would she be purified from polytheism and disbelief??

Why is she commanded to submit, when God had chosen her as a vessel to bare His Son? Wouldn't she have already been yielded unto God?

Chapter 3 verses 45-51

Yes, Muslims agree that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. Hallelujah.
How did he speak in the cradle?
No problem here.
Why the Injeel? -the gospels were written after Jesus' death.
Was Israel still worshipping polytheist gods at this time? I don't think so. The prophets of old warned Israel to stop playing the harlot. There was no need for Mohammed to be making these comments.
What is the straight path?

Peace.

Could you imagin what God would be like if he owned everything, he would be like the next rapper.

Anyways why should God own everything?

I think you have contradicted yourself from the onset.

My question was why would mohamed write a book and Praise his oppostion which is supposed to be Christianity and judaism what would he benefit.

You answer to make himself a King/God, wher does a commander or a leader who gives any command to his forces or his men maike himself a god by asking them to obey him.

What are commanders for, to disobey?

When US soldiers are caught with their pants down killing Innocent civilians or torturing in Abu Ghuraib they claim they were following orders does that mean they made their commanders into GODs and kings cos if they refused they would be imprisoned and court martialed and punished.

No body was forced to Obey him, once they accepted his message and he became their leader what do you expect for them to refuse what he commanded them.

If jesus told his disciples to follow him , leave all the worldly materials and follow him what do you expect them to say to him no i will still take all i want with me but i will follow you. if my boss gives me an order to wear uniform and come to work on time does that make him King and GOD.

You oppose Islam fine that is your choice but do not try to demonise the prophet mohamed claiming he did things that he did not.

However my question to others with more knowledge still stands and less pride and haughtiness is:
Why would mohamed Write a book( if he did write it) and praise his competition what did he have to gain other than that it did not come from him but he was talking from a higher authority?

Doesn't make sense, what benefit he (pbuh) derived from this?

What does it means to cast lots with pens? Were pens invented in those days? Joseph was in charge of Mary, so why cast lots?

I think the better question is why Christians seem so eager to disregard Muhammad when He believed and taught of the same God of Christianity and Judaism?

Why is the notion of the angel Gabriel (the same one of the Bible) visiting someone with a mission for him so hard to at least consider? After all, it isn't as if he were teaching this stuff to Jews and Christians and using their current beliefs in order to gain credibility. He was mostly teaching it to pagans and it was radical stuff to them.

This was during a time and in an area of the world that was savage and Godless. Women would bury their female babies alive, tribes of men went around raping and slaughtering other tribes on a daily basis and eating the still warm livers of their freshly killed enemies. It was complete lawlessness and Godlessness. The Gospels had not reached those people and given their current state, probably wouldn't for a very long time.

Now, is it even slightly possible that God sent down an angel with a specific mission for a specific people who's society was critically ill and in desperate need of help? Is it at all possible that the required remedy for this particularly nasty illness would be somewhat harsher than what was taught before?

Perhaps that could be another question, but I think everyone here was addressing the OP.

If Mohammed taught it to christians or jews they would be really skeptic of him and would not believe him. You bring about a good point though... by Mohammed teaching christian/jew beliefs to pagans, it would seem more believable than Mohammed teaching about elves.

hmm... nice stories, where did you hear about this by the way?

Now, is it even slightly possible that God didn't send down anything at all, ever?

Africa is in a bad state right now with Aids and all, and I don't really see Gabriel comming down again. It is funny how all these things only happen when there are no witnesses.
