Bismillah: Assalamo Alikum.
Quote:Bismillah
Thus, I tried to focus on your main point here, that you fully agree that it cannt be possible - astagherullah- that the holy ghost impregnanted Mary even in the metaphoric sense. You want to say that the language of the bible is shocking and misexpressing specially in a very delicate and sensitative area such as this one, that even our Nazarine members couldnt take it. That is what makes you sure that it cannt be a divine revelation. That was the main point. Am I correct?????
Yeah I guess I've said it plainly before that Muslims and Christians <b>do believe that Jesus was born miraculously without any male intervention</b>, we are both, Muslims and Christians trying to say the same thing that <b>Jesus was born without any physical interaction</b>. However, the Christians would be reading in the Qur'an about Jesus' birth <b>but in most noble, elevated and sublime language</b>, unlike the Bible.
I say, Luke 1:35 should be thrown out from the Bible, or else the Christians must agree with me that the visitor who <b>CAME UPON MARY </b>(whether physically, metaphorically or whatever) was Jesus himself, since all persons in Trinity are <b>ONE IN NATURE </b>as claimed by Christians.
FHC did not find it difficult at all when her priests or other Catholics address Mary as <b>"the Spouse of God" and "Spouse of the Holy Ghost"</b> but yet she couldn't swallow the word "impregnated by the Holy Ghost" when I used it !!!
Let us see what some Catholics like FHC would say about Mary.
Quote:"The Blessed Virgin Mary, says Saint Augustine, "<b>was the only one who merited to be called the Mother of God and spouse</b> <b>of God</b>. <b>She became the Mother of God because she was the spouse of the Holy Ghost</b>: "<b>The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee</b>, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee" (Luke 1:35)
As you can all see, the author of this article quoted the same verse <b>Luke 1:35 after his own declaration that Mary was the spouse of the Holy Ghost!!!!!!!!!!!!! and now she became a mother too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</b>
Quote:<b>He "the Holy Ghost" formed within her the sacred Body of Jesus</b>. Justly, <b>therefore, does Mary desrve the name of Spouse of the Holy Ghost: she is His possession, His sanctuary, His temple</b>.
Quote:<b>Mary is always the faithful Spouse of the Holy Ghost</b>, attentive and docile to all His impulses and inspirations.
Quote:O Blessed Lady, all pure and holy, <b>you proclaimed yourself to be the handmaid and spouse of God</b>, and you have truly lived as such, always humbly submissive to His holy will, always ready to respond to His call and invitation. <b>O Spouse of God and Daughter of Heaven come to meet me during this month</b>......
Mary, The Spouse of the Holy Ghost and Handmaid of God
Quote:Enraptured by Mary's beauty, <b>the Holy Spirit exclaims in admiration: "How beautiful art thou, My Love!" </b>(Cant. 4: 1) But it <b>was above all at the Incarnation of the Son of God that Mary became the true Spouse of the Holy Spirit for she conceived the Eternal Word in the power of the Holy Spirit</b>.
Quote:Through Mary we must seek grace, <b>for she is the Spouse of the Holy Spirit</b>, and all graces are dispensed through her hands. <b>Let us often greet Mary as the Spouse of the Holy Spirit</b>.
THE IMMACULATE SPOUSE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
I think my point now has become clearer, hopefully insh a Allah.

Wael.
