The Blessed Virgin is the Ark of the Covenant, the Mother-of-God, the Lord’s dwelling-place. She was the holiest human being apart from Christ. Christ took his human nature from her.
In the Old Testament, the Kings of Israel would enthrone their mothers and give them the title “Gebirah”, meaning Queen or Mistress/Lady. Similarly Christ the king, being the successor of David’s throne, likewise enthrones his mother and she becomes Our Lady the Queen of Heaven.

Research Orthodox Christianity and abandon the heresy of Muhammad.

The fact is that there are no prophecies in previous Scripture predicting Muhammad. Muslims deny obvious historical facts such as the crucifixion. Muslims have no proof that the Bible is ‘tahrif’ or corrupt in anyway. The Qur’an is filled with errors, saying that Mary is the sister of Aaron and daughter of Amram. The Qur’an was not preserved. The greatest reciter of the Qur’an had a different mushaf. Verses were left out, as Umar said regarding the verse about stoning. Multiple musahif with different amounts of surahs and different readings of the rasm exist. The Qur’an is plagiarized from Syro-Aramaic Christian texts. Islam is a meme inspired by the devil, just like Mormonism, another religion which introduces new ‘scripture’ and has its message delivered by ‘angels’.

The Islamic prophet Dhu al-Qurnayn (He of Two Horns) is traditionally identified with pagan king Alexander the Great. His name comes from coins depicting him as Zeus Ammon, a two-horned pagan god. Hardly a champion of monotheism, here! Dhu al-Qurnayn’s stories are also filled with information from Syrian legends like called the Alexander Romance, saying that the sun sets in a pool of murky water in the West.

The Qur’an also asks Christians (5:47) to judge by the Gospel to assess the Qur’an’s claims, but why would Allah ask us to judge by a corrupted scripture, or a scripture that has been lost? It’s stupid, and there’s no evidence of the “book” given to Jesus.

Likewise the earliest generations of Christians—Paul, the Twelve, Ignatius of Antioch, Irenaeus, Polycarp, etc. all declared Jesus Christ to be divine, just like the OT teaches. Multiple groups of pre-Christian Jews also believed in a divine Word of God, such as Philo of Alexandria and many groups referred to as ‘minim’ by Talmudic Jews. Targum literature is also full of mentions of the Memra of God, i.e. his Word.

Muhammad, fundamentally, was man who was attacked by a fallen angel in a cave and was told to deny every central Christian doctrine (very telling). He was enslaved by his passions and worldly interests, an instrument of Satan. Today we see the fruits: backwardness, pedophilia, polygamy, terrorism, autistic legalism, kissing a black stone and widespread superstition about jinn and practice of magic. The Islamic world is afflicted by demons and is unable to drive them away. Just look at how often they resort to apotropaic magic, amulets and other things. Pray that they renounce the false god of Muhammad for the triune God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

Remember Muslims, Muhammad is told to ask Christians if he is confused about anything (Q 10:94)— listen up!

Bible threads are a non-denominational general on /lit/ dedicated to the study and discussion of the Bible, the most popular book on /lit/. While some level of inter-denominational bullying is expected, we do try to keep things generally focused on sharing the teachings of Christ, rather then attacking each other. Questions from people new to Bible study are very much encouraged, no matter how basic.
