JESUS–MARIOLATRY
If Mary is “Mother of God” then God is the son of Mary.(???)
In His Qur’an 5:116 Allāh reveals: “And when Allah will say: O Jesus, son of Mary, didst thou say to men, Take me and my mother for two gods besides Allah?” This is not to be taken to mean that the Qur’an includes Mary as part of the Trinity. Muhammad Ali notes:
“From this description of Mary being taken for a god by the Christians, some Christian critics of the Qur’an conclude that the doctrine of the Trinity according to the Qur’an consists of three persons –God, Jesus and Mary. But this is an absolutely unwarranted conclusion. Mary is no doubt spoken of as being taken for an object of worship by the Christians; but the doctrine of the Trinity is not mentioned here, while the Divinity of Mary is not mentioned where the Trinity is spoken of. The doctrine and practice of Mariolatry, as it is called by Protestant controversialists, is too well-known. In the catechism of the Roman Church the following doctrines are to be found: “That she is truly the mother of God, and the second Eve, by whose means we have received blessing and life; that she is the mother of Pity and very specially our advocate; that her images are of the utmost utility.” (Ency. Br. 11th ed., vol. 17, p. 813).”
If the Trinity consists of God, Jesus and Mary Allāh would not condemn the Trinity as blasphemous–(Qur’an 4:171); and decreed that followers of Trinity are destined to Hell–(Qur’an 5:75-76).
Mary, created by God, could not be “the Mother of God.” God could not have a mother, as He is the First and the Creator of all.
There were others before Mary who were worshipped. And Christians also worshipped pagan “Goddess”. Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din reveals in his excellent book The Sources Of Christianity:
“The Emperor Hadrian, in a letter to Servianus, concerning the inhabitants of Alexandria, remarks that “those who worship Serapis are likewise Christians; even those who style themselves the bishops of the Christ are devoted to Serapis. (Vocipiacus vit. Saturninus). Serapis was another conception of the Sun–God, as Macrobius tells us in the following words: “The city of Alexandria pays almost frantic worship to Serapis and Isis; nevertheless, they show that all this veneration is merely offered to the Sun.” We read nothing of the Madonna (Mary) and the Child (Jesus), either in the evangelical record or in the writings of Paul and other apostles. The conception, most assuredly, came from Alexandria to the Western world, where the Mother Goddess with the Child Redeemer Horus had been honoured centuries before the Christian Era, and worshipped under the names of “Our Lady,” “Queen of Heaven,” “Mother Goddess” and so forth –words that were afterwards used in reference to Mary, the Mother Goddess.
Isis was not the only Virgin Mother worshipped in the olden days. Osiris had also been believed to be born of Neith, the Virgin of the World, as the Egyptians called her, before Isis came to take her place. The sacred groves of Germany exhibited the image of the Goddess Hertha, a Virgin with a Child in her arms, in the old Teutonic days. She also gave birth to a child that was of Immaculate Conception. She was impregnated by the Heavenly Spirit.
Frigga conceived of the All-Father, Odin, bore a son, Balder of Scandinavia, called the healer and Saviour of mankind. a
…..The Virgin Mother suckling her child is a common figure on the Mithraic monuments. So are other legends of these gods being born in a cave, which have been reported from Guatemala, the Antilles and other places in Central America.b
The Chinese had also a Mother Goddess Virgin, with a child in her armsc. The ancient Etruscans had the same.d
….The ancient literature of India also speaks of Virgin Mothers and their sons being worshipped.” 1 (a-b-c-d).
Christians were worshipping Mary hundreds of years BEFORE the revelation of the Qur’an. The revelation of the Qur’an began in 610, Trinity was invented in 324, nearly three hundred years before the Qur’an. And some women in “Thrace, Scythia, and Arabia” habitually worshipped Mary “as a goddess”; which veneration of Mary was sanctioned at the Council of Ephesus in 431. Thus, worship of Mary existed from between 100-200 years BEFORE Prophet Mohammad, And to this day.
The Angel told Mary, “The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall over-shadow thee”; and he told Joseph, “that which is conceived in her (Mary) is of the Holy Ghost”–(Luke 1:35; Matt.1:18-20, resp. If “power of the Highest shall overshadow thee” meant “virgin” birth there would be no need for the Holy Ghost to “come upon” Mary. The Bible shows there was no virgin birth).
If Father, Son and Holy Ghost are one, Jesus is also the Holy Ghost. And, regardless of whatever disguise/form Jesus was in, Jesus made his mother “conceived”. For a son to “come upon” his mother and even have her “conceived” is incest.
How aptly and succinctly Allāh recounts:
“The Messiah, son of Mary,
was only a messenger;
messengers before him had indeed passed away.
And his mother was a truthful woman.
They both used to eat food.
See how We make the messages clear to them!
Then behold, how they are turned away!”
(Qur’an 5:75).
Jesus s says you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free (from lies, falsehood, and blasphemy). And the Divine truth is, Jesus was a prophet of God and
“THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLĀH;
MOHAMMAD IS THE MESSENGER OF ALLĀH!”
