2:45

Since Esau (Jesus) Maseh (Messiah; Christ) was born through God's word "Be" and not by a father; he is called God's Word. Jesus is mentioned 25 times while his mother Mary's name is mentioned 34 times in the Quran. The Quran uses the name in various combinations of title: Jesus; Jesus, son of Mary; Messiah; Messiah, Jesus, Son of Mary; and Messiah son of Mary. To emphasize his human nature, the Quran frequently refers to Jesus as "Jesus, Son of Mary" in 16 out of 25 occurrences of which 3 are "the Messiah, Jesus, and Son of Mary." The Quran refers to Jesus as "the Messiah, Son of Mary" 5 times, and "Messiah" 3 times.

The Quran uses "Son of Mary" to refer to (J)esu(s) in 21 out of 32 total references. The Gospel authors, however, influenced by the misogynistic teachings of Rabbis and the Pharisee-son-of-Pharisee St. Paul, never call their idols with the name of the woman who gave birth to him. Actually, there might be an exception, Mark 6:3 , which proves our point. There the "son of Mary" title is used by people who did not expect from wonders from him. Obviously, the authors of the Gospels and their guru St. Paul considered the title "son of Mary" to be demeaning. They transformed the original nickname "son of Mary" or "the son of woman" into "the son of man," one of the oft-used Biblical attributes for Jesus. Gospel authors, however, did not stop there. They managed to promote "the son of man" to "the son of God," and from there one step higher, infinitely higher, to "the only son of God," proving the ingenuity of Perverse to carve idols in many forms and shapes. If St. Paul had a miracle, his miracle would be his contribution to the evolution of "son of Mary" to "the only begotten son of God." In the case of Christianity, Perverse came up with a new formula, "three gods in one," as well as many other saint-gods, and false teachings bonus, and plenty of guilt and drama as incentive. Since then, the package containing the formula has been a great success in the religious market, where people act according to their primitive feelings rather than thoughts!

Since the Pauline god is a character of fiction whose major deed is his suffering on crucifiction, it is the embodiment of contradiction. It not only continuously oscillates between humanity and divinity, but occasionally becomes a devil (Revelations 22:16 & Isaiah 14:12 ), accursed of God (Deuteronomy 21:23 & Galatians 3:13 & Matthew 27:38 & Mark 15:27 & Luke 23:33 & John 19:38 ), infinitely patient and curser of a fig tree (1 Timothy 1:16 v Matthew 21:19 ), liar (John 7:8-10 ), a very old sheep (John 1:29 & Exodus 12:5 ), follower of the laws and abolisher of the laws (Matthew 5:17-19 & Luke 16:17 v Hebrews 7:18-19 & Romans 10:4 ), teller of everything and not teller of everything (John 15:15 v John 16:12 ); the peacemaker and the warmonger (John 14:27 & Acts 10:36 & Colossians 1:19-20 v Matthew 10:34 ), a mighty authority and a powerless man (Colossians 2:10 v John 5:30 ), part of a trinity and part of a quadrinity (Matthew 28:19 v Hebrews 7:1-3 ), the last and not the last (Revelation 22:13 v John 16:12-13 ), invisible and visible (John 1:18 v John 18:20 ), and even one who ends up in hell (1 Peter 3:18-20 & Matthew 25:41 ).

See the Quran: 25:33:18. Also, see 2:593:51, 55; 4:115:727:16219:36.

Jesus is not the original name of the prophet who brought the New Testament two millennia ago. Its original version in Hebrew is Esau, a common Jewish name at the time. In classical times it was spelled Yashua, and then it past through a series of mutations ending up with what we have now, Jesus, a Western Latin hybrid. If it were not awkward, we would prefer writing the name as (J)esu(s). The same name can be found as Hosea, Hoshea, Jehoshuah, Jeshua, Jeshuah, Osea and Oshea (See Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible). These names are mentioned hundreds of times in the Old Testament. They are all different spellings of the same original expression, meaning, "Yahweh is salvation."

However, Trinitarian Christians use and abuse Matthew 1:1 to create a human-god out of transliterative inconsistencies: "She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins." Besides, there is more than one Christ (Anointed) in the Bible. Isaiah 45:1 ; 1 Samuel 24:6 , 10; 1Samuel 26:9; Numbers 3:3 are but a few examples. The New Testament refers to the Son of Mary as "Jesus of Nazareth" (John 18:7 ), and "Jesus the son of Joseph" (John 6:42 ).

Encyclopedia Americana, in its 1959 print, under the entry of Jesus provides the following information: "Although Matthew 1:21 interprets the name (originally Joshua that is Yahweh is salvation) and finds it especially appropriate for Jesus of Nazareth, it was a common one at the time. Josephus, the Jewish historian, refers to 19 different persons by that name." It is evident from St. Paul's letters, that the use of the name continued among Christians for a while (Colossians 4:11 ). When St. Paul's polytheistic doctrine became the official creed, Christians mostly abandoned giving this name to their children. With the reputation of Jesus and the rise of Christianity, Jews too gave up using that name, since they considered him a heretic, and the name of a new idol.

Easton provides the following information about the word Jesus: "This is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Joshua, which was originally Hoshea (Numbers 13:8 , 16), but changed by Moses into Jehoshua (Numbers 13:16 ; 1 Corinthians 7:27 ), or Joshua. After the Exile it assumed the form Jeshua, whence the Greek form Jesus."(edip).
