Has God a mother?
In the debate with Muslims it is often determined that the other person exactly mean to know what to believe Jews or Christians. This knowledge often comes from the Koran or other Islamic traditions.
Unfortunately a lot of information in the Qur'an very incomplete and not accurate. Apparently, Muhammad had represented 1,400 years ago either inaccurate sources available, or he knew only the Christian sects of Christianity itself significantly different teachings.
We will now go to the trouble and identify issues often discussed with reference to what Christians really believe then and now to Muslims to make it easier to understand Christians.
faith the Christians of 3 gods?
course not. This claim is heard by many Muslims and is based on
ignorance and misunderstanding.
ignorance because in the Qur'an (4:171) as the information is wrong, the Christians believe in three Gods: Mary, Jesus and God. And these are three all too often associated with the Christian Dreifaltigkeits-/Dreieinigkeitslehre, which is also not correct.
Although many Christians revere Mary dearly, but it is only revered as a person, holy and as the mother of Jesus. There is no divine worship, not worship. Mary is "blessed" or particularly chosen and honored. Nothing more.
Very good Christians say that Jesus is God, just like the so-called Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is a kind of mediator of the closeness of God to us humans. Jesus referred to him as he is of being there for us when he ascended to his father.
Is now the Holy Spirit is another God? Or is Jesus another God? The course not. The Holy Spirit is God as Jesus is God also, but both are no other gods is suspected as the Koran. There is only one God in Christianity, even if God acts in the Holy Spirit and Jesus.
Was God married? Who is the mother of God? Which means "Mother of God"?
God was never married - with whom, too? Why should God get married at all? What sense is to have it?
God has no mother. The Christian name "Mother of God" may be confusing for many Muslims. However, it is only an honorary title for Mary, because she is the mother of Jesus, the Son of God. Since Jesus is also God, was the honorary title "Mother of God" for Mary. It is also an honorary designation for each woman honored to it because only women give birth to life is possible.
And it points to the importance of God was a woman - on behalf of all other women - to involve the action.
But it's definitely so no Christian believes that Mary the mother of God. As can be read in the Bible, God is omnipotent, there was always God and God will always exist. Where there should be room for a mother?
Is Jesus the Son of God? Who had sex with Mary?
Yes, Jesus is the Son of God, no, no one had sex with Mary.
involuntarily comes in many discussions on the question of how to be father if you do not have sex?
is overlooked by God almighty and it is no problem for him to create life. So also Jesus arose - a thought of God is enough, more is not needed. That Jesus is created, is in the Bible and even in the Koran. Here, Mohammed copied directly from the Bible, is only with the obvious conclusion that God the Father of Jesus, he had his problems. God blaspheming Mohammed says that is a few lines in the Koran: It is not fitting for God to have a son.
As befits an all-powerful God and what is not really absurd even as a statement or question. Which scale will be measured by God what is proper? But that does not matter. More important, the question is whether God is the father of Jesus.
Whether someone is a father really is not one attached to a paternity test, but fills the role of a father. It was only the will of God and Jesus created it was God Will of him on his life, accompanied and directed.
And that makes a real father. With sex and other fantasies this has nothing to do. Ill be happy fantasies Muslims into Christians - not knowing the background and sometimes in a very offensive form.
Sorry Mohammed, the whole is not understood and unfortunately do not understand even today many Muslims. Rather insulting to Christians with false statements and a false understanding and unfortunately many Muslims insist on this false knowledge, because in Islam it is said that of the Koran comes directly from God and therefore must be right every word in the Koran.
Although one reference to these few lines can very clearly see that the Koran manifest error is ...

A Premixed Margarita Drink Mix
The (un) Islamic moral index finger
as exists in many conversations, and also by some slogans. Many Muslims say that the West is deeply immoral and reprehensible. And with most of the West and Christianity is meant.
As a self-critical "Westerners" and perhaps also as a Christian, one quickly gets a guilty conscience. Of course, we know that there are many moral deficiencies in the west. This self-critical approach as a "Westerner" is not wrong, but should we turn first of all before his own door.
But on the other hand it would be interesting to consider what justification Muslims feel called to the moral high-school teacher.
Mostly we hear from the many sexual freedoms in the West, has the suggestive clothing and also in the West usual equality between the sexes are kept in all situations catchment. Many of crayons and the West to the young people in school are informed and even worse - that boys and girls are enlightened. Others have their own problems with the idea that women can walk alone on the road (must) and some confused from this perspective, the movement of women with sexual advances - a lot of harassment of women could occur.
You can see from the arguments very quickly obviously very different moral codes to each other . Meet Apparently there are different positions on morality and it seems the moral good is always the moral feeling, or behavior of an individual or a group and not by all people. This is precisely the point. Many Muslims think their moral view is the only right and everyone else should think kindly directed it. Muslims think in this case their God, Allah on their side, as many rules to the words in the Koran are due. The result also make other provisions of the Islamic claim to be able to (have?), Which ultimately is contrary to our finding that one can not generalize morality.
However, one of the "Islamic Forefinger consider "too different. For he who finds himself appointed as a moral high-school teacher must also ask leave as it's own with morality is ordered.
So we should take a look at the origins of Islam, directed, then on the Koran, and finally course on the present, the lived Islam in the 21st century
A view of Islam.. The great model Mohammed
Let's start with the religious founders and the great idol From Mohammed says that he is a flawless and led exemplary lives and he should be the shining example of every Muslim. When West Europeans and even more as a Christian to get the study of Islamic sources but rather quickly to wonder, since it is the role model Mohammed morally not so closely watched. For example: He was married with a total of 13 women - in his best years with 12 women at once (!). The youngest woman (child) was 6 years old when he married and she was a child at the age of 9 years when he approached her sexually for the first time. Two of his wives he has made a widow before she married and a woman was the wife of his adopted son, which he had sought when she was still married to his son. But that's not all. According to Islamic tradition, we know of 23 (sex) slaves which he had to be will.
course, Muhammad did it all with the blessing of his religion. For him There are special rules in the Koran, so he could marry 12 women at the same time and the marketing of female slaves are encouraged in the Hadith and the Koran.
A view of Islam: Can The "moral" Koran
Now of course the one you say to Mohammed should simply turn a blind eye. He lived 1400 years ago. Then he was a prophet stressed in addition to the 13 women still a whole book (Koran) and had to announce in addition to the many raids certainly had some relief necessary.
said to have sent the Book in which Allah (Koran), we will hopefully find more reasons to show us why Muslims feel called to top teachers. There are
We then include the following: Women must cover themselves so that strangers do not come to bad thoughts. That may now everyone n the / who grew up in the free world a bit surprising. For what is woman for the thoughts of some men? Why is not expected by the men they control themselves? And why is not expected by the men they hide themselves in the same way as the women? Why do people only veiled women and never disguised men?
The next thing we are surprised by the attitude toward marriage. Men are allowed to take 4 women, unless they can afford it. Is that moral? And if you have such a sexual Free movement propagated why women may then not have 4 men?
At the point in the Koran it is even more interesting: When can a man not women, then he should (sex) to keep slaves. Here, too, certainly makes it the question of the morality. Scroll
Then we read it and men are allowed a woman paid for an agreed period to take. An interesting formulation for an old and rather morally questionable business is: prostitution. And indeed. When you look in today's Iran is found together with other forms of prostitution, this variant. They only just officially, even with religious Blessing takes place. In short: This is about the same as if you go with a streetwalker in the church and the pastor to ask if he is willing to act to give his blessing. Certainly a fun idea, but certainly no reason to bring to the West to the moral index finger.
But that's not all what we can discover in the Koran. At the time of Mohammed, it was apparently normal to take your children to wife, because only then is to explain why even in the divorce terms in the Koran marriages with children (O-Ton: "women before they get their period") are considered.
A view of Islam: Islam Today
Well of course you can say that the Quran is 1400 years old and the Muslim world so they may have developed good right now to take the moral finger. Therefore, we dare even a brief look into various Islamic countries: polygamy is still widely used, marriages involving children that would be pursued in the West as pedophilia are still common, there are many places forced marriages and with no word, the misconduct criticism of Muhammad. You refuse to think critically about the Koran, but is meant to Today it is the will of Allah, the man may have four wives. We think that the Muslims should only return once our own house:
summary. Of course The west is a moral point of view is not perfect, but Islam and especially the Islamic society, it is even less. Certainly, Islam has no right to make other moral accusations, rather it looks just as Islam could learn from other cultures in a lot of moral questions.
