what does fatima mean in hebrew

I contemplated Christianity and even read some of the Bible as well, but not to offend your beliefs, it seemed just as absurd as the Quran if not more so.
There different versions of the Bible, some add and remove specific gospels, which then some churches/denominations deem cannon or non cannon. For example the book of enoch, the whole story is basically absurdity about a race of half human half angels, was originally in the catholic bible but later renounced. Except it is still used in some versions of the bible followed by orthodox churches in Ethiopia and Eritrea. Note that this is just one example, there are many of things being added and removed from the new testament. In fact historically, the apostles of jesus thought he would return in their lifetime, but when people alive in jesus’s lifetime started dying, they decided to wrote everything down and compile it together.
Second is the fact that jesus did not fufill the jewish prophecy of a messiah, and started claiming he was son of god and had attributes of god, which is why they decided to crucify him as they he basically went against the teachings as attributed in the hebrew bible. Now christians claim that when jesus returns he will fulfill the remaining prophecy, but this is not a jewish belief, the messiah was supposed to establish God’s kingdom and what not outright, also its been over 2000 years where is Jesus???
Third, the ridiculous amount of denominations and sects within Christianity. It has more denominations than any other religion. The fundamental belief of christians non is in the trinity and that jesus sacrifice was to free us from the original sin. Yet the original christian sects did not necessarily believe this, the original christians were jews and there were gnostics, nazarenes, ebionites the later two who rejected jesus as god or the son of god and claimed that jesus never died but was taken to god by heaven. When the concept of the trinity and resurrection were introduced, which came quite some time after these were considered heresies and condemned. Now in the modern perspective we have catholics, protestants, baptists, mormons, latter day saints, just to name a few on top of countless other denominations we span on and on. How do you know which is the right one? They have fundamental conflicting beliefs, and not all of them can be right. Simply believing in the trinity and original sin is not enough, there’s more to fundamental christian beliefs, and jesus even claims in the bible not all who call him their lord and perform miracles in his name will get to see heaven.
Fourth both religions are similar in their ridiculous theology. A lot of people bring up mohammad being a pedophile for the case of aisha. But the virgin mary was reported to be about 12 when jesus was born, some sources claim older but no more than 14. This is hardly any better, wtf god decides to impregnate a 12 year old? I understand that obviously she conceded a baby without intercourse by your beliefs of course, but it still disturbing that given her age God made her conceive his child, who was also him in flesh form (which again seems absurd, but not the point). Then there’s the stories where God commands the israelites to massacre entire villages, including the animals and children. At time God himself just sounds fairly evil. Add in how humanity was organized destined to go to hell for the original sin, adam eating the apple. It doesn’t make logical sense because why would someone be punished for another person’s mistake, when they knew nothing about this or couldn’t stop this from happening? And then jesus comes in to die for our sins, but only if we believe he’s god, son of god, and that he sacrificed himself for us, and we follow his teachings, and we abstain from further sin. Okay... why did he need to die? How can he die if he’s god? Why can’t god just forgive us without the need for all this absurdity’s? Why are even being punished for a forgotten ancestor’s mistake? What did any of this prove if people are still going to go to hell, for choosing to wrong religion, thinking its the path to god, or the wrong sect thinking that their path to salvation was the true path and that the path to salvation was narrow and that few find it?
This is no better than Islamic theology where you can be a really good person, do your best to help animals and humanity, avoid harming anything or anyone with your words or actions, and even hold onto a belief that maybe god exists but no being able to know which god given the thousands of religions and sects. In the end youre spend an ETERNITY being tortured in a gruesome manner while some asshole who believed and asks for forgiveness for his sins before he dies goes to heaven? This is fundamentally bullshit, how can God claim to be loving, benevolent, merciful and then condemn people to being tortured forever because they believed in a wrong version of him or didnt know if he existed???? Not even the worst of humanity would do that! And not only this but the lack of proof of his existence! All these stories of him performing crazy miracles back in the day, raising the dead, water into wine, all sorts of stuff and now he does nothing? All we have are arbitrary books which are incredibly vague, make no sense, contradict themselves and each other, require centuries of study and still can’t be explained properly with millions of interpretations? As for miracles of god, how many times if you prayed for something genuine, like for a loved one to be safe, or for God to help you pass a test, or something innocent, and been refused? People who pray for their cancer or diseases to go away but still died and were not christian thus sent to hell? This is not love, this is not justice, this is EVIL at its core. This is the most significant contradiction I find in these two religions, and aside from this we find countless other contradictions, God gives us free will but predestines us and has his own plan for all of us, God tells us not to kill but then commands us to kill anyways, God says he loves us more than anyone else but smites us for making a mistake, then theres the literal contradictions in the bible where one thing is said, then the opposite is said later.
Atleast hindus, jains, sikhs, bahais, buddhists, jews believe that we’re judged for our own actions and not arbitrary belief. Some religions remove the idea of hell altogether saying that life on earth (given how much pain and suffering there is) is the closest to ‘hell’ we would be and to become close to god we just have to be good to those around us, and if we fail, we get to try again in another life until we get it right.
The fact of the matter is though that Newton’s third law, an action has an equal and opposite reaction, is justice. If I don’t believe in God for 60 years, he doesn’t believe in me and I cease to exist for 60 years, that’s fair. But what isn’t fair is an eternity of burning in a fire. Even a serial killer, he deserves to be punished for a finite period of time in relation to his sin. He kills 10 people, he should die 10 painful deaths, he lives 50 years as a murder, okay then 50 years in hell, not an eternity. But even then, a serial killer probably did some things in his life which were good as well, those can’t go ignored either right? Eventually he should get salvation. Now God claims to love us more than anyone else and be super merciful or whatever, more than anyone else. How can that be, if he creates a literal place for eternal torture for a creation of his that he made imperfect, and basically now way to affirm his presence but plenty of ways to reject everything i his sacred to texts. I remember Abdullah Sameer saying that if you create a product with a 8% failure rate, thats very bad and you need to improve it before releasing it to the public. But if the failure rate is fuckin over 80% this is horrible and by no means should you release it. That’s basically what God did tho, if were given destiny by him we don’t even have a fact in the matter. He’s punishing us for something he himself willed. This world is proof enough that God isn’t most merciful, kind, loving, whatever. Look at all these natural disasters, disease, war, torture, starvation. People resort to its God’s punishment, okay but I thought God was most merciful? I am indifferent to most people most I would anyone, not even a crazed pyscho murdering pedophile rapist to be inflicted with a painful disease or beaten to death. Rather I would want him to get the appropriate help so that he can reform and become a productive member of society who does good for the people and the world. So now by that logic, me, an ordinary dude on reddit, is more merciful than God. Now take in how entire nations get killed due to trivial shit. Look at what happened to the jews in the holocast, look at whats happening to kids starving in africa and india, look at how christians and enslaved are being killed by ISIS in arab countries, look at how muslims are being tortured and killed in China, Burma, and North Korea, look at the extensive history of racial violence of large scale disasters that killed and gravely injured millions. Not all of them could have been bad people or had the wrong belief right? Wtf. Meanwhile some of the richest people in the world are funny enough agnostic or atheist. Elon Musk, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Larry Page. It doesn’t take much faith or proof to look around the world and see that it isn’t fair or just which goes against the principle that God if fair or just, and throw in an afterlife, were the majority if people are tortured forever, and this basically sounds no different than a fairytale.
Funny enough Islam and Christianity are also the only two religions that really had forced conversion indoctrinated into them. That explains why the majority of the world falls into these two, because of people killing and enslaving each other for not believing its the truth, and using the fear of the death penalty, punishment in the grave, and hell to beat them into submission.
To this very day I am still terrified of what happens if I die, thanks to the harmful ideologies imposed by my family through their religion, and if I was born Christian it would have been the exact same. Sorry for the rant but I feel I just had to let all of this out lmao.

Genital cutting is an ancient ritual practice. In fact, it is so ancient, it predates recorded history. It is impossible to pinpoint exactly when, how, or why it originated (or who came up with the idea in the first place). It exists in many cultures across a very large expanse of time. But the history of genital cutting is far from stagnant and by piecing together a timeline of events, thoughts, and cases it begins to shape a cohesive narrative of these practices and the body parts in question.
The prepuce (or foreskin) evolved with Homo sapiens hundreds of thousands of years ago. This body part is present in nearly every mammalian species (species such as the platypus and echidna have a preputial sac. Regardless, all mammals have an external protective structure for their reproductive organs). Circumcision most likely does not have a single origin point, but following it back far enough indicates two areas in particular where the practice can be traced to: Sub Saharan Africa and Australia. On the Australian continent, circumcision is practiced as a coming of age ceremony among certain Aborigine tribes, some of which practice further genital cutting such as subincision where the underside of the urethra is split open. While ancient, the practices here have remained largely isolated to the continent. Sub Saharan Africa may very well be ground zero where circumcision across the continent and the Middle East can trace their roots to. Similar to the Australian version, it seems to have also begun as a coming of age ritual and tribal marker. Other possibilities are punishments for enemy prisoners, reduced punitive measures from death or castration, sacrifices to deities, and alternatives to child sacrifice. (Glick, 2005)
The first people to practice some form of genital surgery on boys and young men lived somewhere in the region extending from northern Africa and the northeastern shore of the Mediterranean to the eastern shore of the Black Sea. The practice appears to have reached the Egyptian people by 3000 bce, but employed for many centuries principally as a badge of initiation into the priestly caste. The operation probably consisted of a simple longitudinal cut into the upper surface of the foreskin, creating an apron-like opening. There is no evidence of more radical surgery resembling our own version, and nothing to suggest that anyone ever performed genital surgery on infants.
c. 2400 BCE A relief in the Necropolis of Saqqara contains what is probably the oldest reference of genital cutting. It shows two youths (one of which is restrained) as they are undergoing some form of genital cutting by priests. The inscription reads:

"Hold him and do not allow him to faint"
”Thoroughly rub off what is there”
”I will cause it to heal”

c. 2300 BCE An Egyptian named Uha boasted that he and his peers faced the ordeal with stoic calm

When I was circumcised, together with one hundred and twenty men. There was none thereof who hit out, there was none thereof who was hit, and there was none thereof who scratched and there was none thereof who was scratched."

Circumcision is now so closely associated with Jews because, while many Middle Eastern peoples, including the ancient Hebrews, genitally altered some boys or youths as a custom usually done at puberty, it was not until around 500 bce that the Judeans defined circumcision as an obligatory ritual practice for all male infants. In pre-Yahwist times, circumcising a son (not necessarily an infant) was probably a personal offering to the gods in support of a request for a special favor or forgiveness. (Glick, 2005)
It may also have originated from the agricultural practices. Pruning is an important part of cultivating grapes and olives. Perhaps some believed that “pruning” the male organ would also help with men’s fertility. In fact there are even comparisons written later within the Torah regarding this

“When you enter the land and plant any tree for food, you shall regard its fruit as its foreskin. Three years it shall be uncircumcised for you, not to be eaten. In the fourth year all the fruit shall be set aside for jubilation before the Lord; and only in the fifth year may you use its fruit—that its yield to you may be increased.”

[Leviticus 19:23]

The Torah

Assembled in the sixth century bce, this is where circumcision starts becoming more familiar with most westerners as the Jewish ritual performed on boys. Within the Torah, the Five Books of Moses, which makes up the beginning of the Old Testament of the Bible, circumcision is mentioned numerous times. However, only twice is it declared as a ritual requirement to be performed on boys. First in the story of Abraham, then in Leviticus.

“When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared before Abram and said ‘I am God almighty. Walk with me and be blameless. And I make my covenant between me and you, and will make you exceedingly numerous.’ Then Abram fell on his face; and God said to him ‘As for Me, this is My covenant with you: You shall be the father of a multitude of nations. And you shall no longer be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations. I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you; and kings shall come from you. I will establish my covenant between me and you, and your offspring after you through their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you. And I will give to you, and to your offspring after you, the land where you are now alien, all the land of Canaan, as a perpetual holding. I will be their God.’
“God said to Abraham, ‘As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you, throughout their generations. This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised. You shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you. Throughout your generations every male among you shall be circumcised when he is eight days old, including the slave born in your house and the one bought with your money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring. Both the slave born in your house and the one bought with your money must be circumcised. So shall my covenant be in your flesh an everlasting covenant. Any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.’”

[Genesis 17:1-14]

“The Lord spoke to Moses saying: ‘Speak to the people of Israel saying: If a woman at childbirth bears a male child, she shall be ceremonially unclean seven days as at the time of her menstruation; she shall be unclean. On the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.’”

[Leviticus 12:1-3]
A few points to make on these texts. First: no single individual wrote the Torah. Biblical scholars have shown that the Five Books consist of a number of texts, composed over several centuries by authors with distinctive mentalities and styles, and eventually assembled sometime shortly after 500 bce. Most scholars recognize four texts, labeled J, E, D, and P. The earliest, J, stands for Jahwist— that is, the text in which Jahweh (or Yahweh, ‘‘Jehovah’’) appears as the deity; in E he is often called Elohim (literally, ‘‘gods’’). These two, probably composed during the tenth and ninth centuries bce, include parts of what are now Genesis, Exodus, and Numbers. The text called D, constituting most of Deuteronomy, was composed in the seventh century bce by religious reformers intent on eliminating polytheistic worship of local deities.
Last of all, P was the work of the priestly class that emerged into prominence in the late sixth century, after the return from Babylonian exile. Also a composite text, it includes nearly all of Leviticus and much of Genesis, Exodus, and Numbers. All the various texts were combined into a single Torah in the fifth century bce by an unknown author or authors known as Redactor.
Genesis 17 is part of P, the last text to be composed but the first to mention circumcision. This was written over a thousand years after the figure of Abraham would have existed.
586 BCE The Babylonians conquer Judea, destroyed the Temple, exiled the Israelites for the next sixty years, and destroyed the Hebrew monarchy.
Upon their return, the newly established priestly caste assumed control of the small region and it’s population establishing what was effectively a theocracy. (To clarify, these are priests, not rabbis. Rabbis will take a larger role later on.) It fell on the priests to establish a rigorously tight knit tribe as well as a degree of independence from their neighbors. This can be seen in many of the laws within Leviticus and Deuteronomy such as forbidding intermarriage, temple centered sacrifice, ritual bathing, strict control over male ejaculation, and, of course, circumcision.
The holy covenant, or bris milah (literally ‘covenant of cutting’) performed on male children on the eighth day of life (the day they are born counts as 1) was a new invention. Circumcision was performed by other Semitic tribes at the time, sometimes as ritual blood sacrifice, sometimes on slaves, sometimes on prisoners of war.
But this invention by the priests worked as an initiation to the father, not the son. Judaism existed as an intensely patriarchal culture. And a man’s sons represented his future lineage, especially his son’s penis. As the priests devised it, it was the father who performed the operation. In this way, the father was forced to submit his sons, his future lineage, to the will of the tribal elders as he cut into the flesh of his foreskin, the blood being a ritual sacrifice to the Lord as symbol of the covenant. If the father refused, he would be cut off from his people, which in ancient times was akin to a death sentence. Similar to the psychological effects of hazing, after sacrificing part of his child to ensure his place in society, it is very difficult to turn away from it. Those who have studied economics may recognize this as the sunk cost fallacy. “Well, I’ve already put in so much money/time/effort into this, if I left now it would all have been for nothing. I should keep putting into it to salvage my investment rather than quitting to prevent further loss.” What better way to promote such social cohesion in an ethnically exclusive tribe in hostile territory?
It should be noted that the version of circumcision being discussed is much less severe than what most of us are familiar with today. The original brit milah removed only the very end of the foreskin that overhang past the glans at birth.
Howard Eilberg-Schwartz (a rabbi and anthropologist) has shown that for ancient Judeans the trimmed penis was a symbol not only of patrilineal social organization but of male reproductive prowess and male social supremacy. He points out that in verse 11 of Genesis 17 (‘‘that shall be the sign of the covenant’’), circumcision is called ot, which may be translated as either ‘‘sign’’ or ‘‘symbol.’’ No great imagination is required to understand why the circumcised penis was an ideal symbol of the Lord’s covenant, and of everything that the priests intended to promote with their new rite of initiation: male reproductive success, continuity in the male line, male-defined ethnic identity and exclusiveness, acknowledgment of patrilineally legitimated priestly authority. (Schwartz, 1990)
A commonly made claim is that ancient circumcision originated as a hygiene measure. There are several problems with this. First, this claim is entirely modern, only arising in the twentieth century by circumcision advocates in the American medical community. Second, there is no mention in the ancient texts themselves regarding hygiene in connection to circumcision. This combines the western idea that people did not bathe “back then” (another myth, hygiene habits of ancient people are well-documented) and an Americanized misunderstanding of normal penile anatomy which leads to the cultural myth that the foreskin is inherently dirty and difficult to wash. In fact, the texts explicitly mention bathing must be performed by men and women who became “unclean” (meaning spiritually unclean) on a frequent basis. [Exodus 30:17-21, 40:30-32, Leviticus 6:27, 11:24-28, 13:6, 13:58, 14:8-9, 14:43-47, 15:4-13, 15:16-18, 16:26-28, 17:15-16, Numbers 8:5-7, 19:10, 19:17-19, 31:24, 19:7-8, Deuteronomy 23:9-11]. The modern form of circumcision where the entire foreskin is excised did not evolve until centuries later, meaning the ancient Hebrews still had the majority of their foreskin to wash regardless. Not to mention the majority of cultures never practiced circumcision from Inuits to Semites with no issues with their hygiene. And lastly, the doublethink required to believe that the environment made it impossible to maintain basic hygiene, yet was sterile enough to perform a surgery on a newborn’s or slave’s genitals makes the idea that circumcision was done for hygienic reasons absurd to say the least.
There is one more point to consider as to why the Jewish priests decided on this body modification in particular. The Torah has very strict rules regarding when and where a man may not ejaculate. Leviticus 15:1-18, 32 is a prime example, as well as Leviticus 22:4 and Deuteronomy 23:10. This line from Leviticus clearly shows the authors' thoughts on sexuality:

“If a man lies with a woman and has an emission if semen, both of them shall bathe in water, and be unclean until the evening.” [Leviticus 15:18]

As will be shown throughout this timeline, sexual control of males is a recurring theme of ritual circumcision. It is no accident that a sexually repressive society included a partial amputation on children’s genitals as part of it’s practice. Circumcision was not implemented as a hygiene measure, but rather as a tribal marker and a method of psychosexual control of members of the ancient Hebrew tribe.
333 BCE Alexander the Great annexes all of Palestine. In the now Greek controlled Mediterranean, Jewish emigrants begin trading and moving across the Hellenistic world seeking greater economic opportunities.
c. 200 BCE Some Jewish men, looking for more acceptance in the greater Hellenistic culture, begin the practice of stretching their foreskins to regain the lost tissue. Key features of Hellenistic culture were athletic exercises in gymnasia and athletic performances in public arenas, where men appeared in the nude. A penis sheathed in an intact foreskin was an acceptable sight, but a circumcised penis was another matter entirely. Jewish men, with their shortened foreskins and semi-exposed glans, were mocked and ridiculed for their indecency. But, by applying tension wither with a cord or weight, the skin would stretch until they had a socially acceptable coverage.

“They built a gymnasium in Jerusalem, according to Gentile custom, and removed the marks of circumcision, and abandoned the holy covenant.”

[1 Maccabees 1:14–15]

“And now I announce unto thee that the children of Israel will not keep true to this ordinance, and they will not circumcise their sons according to all this law ... and all of them, sons of Beliar [Belial, the Devil], will leave their sons uncircumcised as they were born. And there will be great wrath from the Lord against the children of Israel, because they have forsaken His covenant and turned aside from His word, and provoked and blasphemed, inasmuch as they do not observe the ordinance of this law; for they have treated their members [i.e., penises] like the Gentiles, so that they may be removed and rooted out of the land.”

[Charles, Jubilees 15.33–34]
170 BCE Antiochus outlaws circumcision on penalty of death
167 BCE The Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes, a determined Hellenizer, forcibly entered Jerusalem, plundered and defiled the Temple, and instituted widespread repressive measures. Antiochus is said to have demanded that the Jews ‘‘leave their sons uncircumcised.”
125 BCE John Hyrcanus conquered Idumea. The Idumeans were required to convert to Juadism and to be circumcised as a token of their acceptance

“Hyrcanus took also Dora and Marissa, cities of Idumea, and subdued all the Idumeans; and permitted them to stay in that country, of they would circumcise their genitals, and make use of the laws of the Jews; and they were so desirous of living in the country of their forefathers, that they submitted to the use of circumcision, and the rest of the living Jewish ways of living; at which time therefore this befell them, that they were thereafter no other than Jews.”

[Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews]
c. 100 BCE Approximately 3 million Jews live within the Roman Empire.
First Century CE The historian Strabo, in his Geographica, composed early in the first century, describes the ‘‘successors’’ of Moses as having acted righteously for a time; but eventually, he says, ‘‘superstitious’’ and ‘‘tyrannical’’ priests gained control and the culture took a downward turn:

‘‘From superstition arose abstentions from foods, such as are customary even now, and circumcisions and excisions and similar usages.’’

[Strabo, Geographica 16.2.37]
The first-century historian Tacitus also describes Jewish culture in hostile language, citing circumcision as one of the ‘‘base and abominable’’ practices characteristic of Judaism.
[Tacitus, Histories 5.1]
First-century biographer and historian Suetonious, who had once served as Hadrian's secretary, recalled that

“In the days of Domitian the collection of the Jewish tax was carried out with especial severity. .. . I myself remember a scene from my youth, when the Procurator, surrounded by a host of his assistants, subjected an old man of about ninety to a physical examination, in order to determine whether or not he was circumcised."

[Suetonius, Domitian 12.2, in Lives of the Twelve Caesars.]
30 CE Philo of Alexandria lived outside of Judea and received a classical Greek education. As a Stoic-Platonic philosopher, he wrote apologetic pieces on Judaism as he sought rational explanations for Jewish customs, hoping to vindicate Judaism as a civilized religion. On the topic of circumcision:

“I will begin with that which is an object of ridicule among many people. Now the practice which is thus ridiculed, namely the circumcision of the genital organs, is very zealously observed by many other nations ... . And therefore it would be well for the detractors to desist from childish mockery and to inquire in a wise and more serious spirit into the causes to which the performance of this custom is due, instead of dismissing the matter prematurely and impugning the causes to which the performance of this custom is due, instead of dismissing the matter prematurely and impugning the good sense of great nations.”

[Philo, Special Laws, 1.2-1.3.]
He says there are two main reasons for it:

“One is the excision of pleasures which bewitch the mind. For since among the love-lures of pleasure the palm is held by the mating of man and woman, the legislators thought good to dock the organ which ministers to such intercourse, thus making circumcision the figure of the excision of excessive and superfluous pleasure, not only of one pleasure but of all the other pleasures signified by one, and that the most imperious.
“Two is that it is a symbol of a man’s knowing himself, and discarding that terrible disease, the vain opinion of the soul; for some men, like good statuaries, have boasted that they can make the most beautiful animal, man; and then being puffed up with arrogance, have deified themselves, hiding from sight the true cause of the creation of all things namely, God.”

[Philo, Special Laws, 1.8–12, 104–7.]
And why perform it on infants, rather than at least on boys who will understand the significance of the operation?

“It is very much better and more farsighted of us to prescribe circumcision for infants, for perhaps one who is full-grown would hesitate through fear to carry out this ordinance of his own free will."

[Philo, Works of Philo]
Contrary to the Greeks and Romans, who believed in keeping the glans covered to show sexual control, Philo argued that removing the foreskin was what allowed Jewish men even greater control over their sexual passions. But why circumcise only males? In a volume entitled Questions and Answers on Genesis, Philo’s answer is that

‘‘the male has more pleasure in, and desire for, mating than does the female, and he is more ready for it. Therefore Herightly leaves out the female, and suppresses the undue impulses of the male by the sign of circumcision. [So] it was proper that his pride should be checked by the sign of circumcision.’’

[Philo, Questions and Answers 3.47, 241–42.]
50 CE At the Council of Jerusalem, or Apostolic Council, the early Christian church declared circumcision was not necessary for Christians
52 CE The Apostle Paul recruits followers to the new Christian religion. He also criticizes the practice of circumcision heavily

“Now I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. I testify again to everyman who receives circumcision that he is bound to keep the whole law. You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace. ... For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any avail, but faith working through love.”

[Galatians 5:2–4, 6]
Paul’s teachings begin to be the defining core for separating Christianity as it’s own religion rather than a subset of Judaism and also the question of whether converts would have to convert to Judaism first before becoming a Christian. Beyond the theological reasons for nullifying the holy covenant, there was a practical reason as well. Early Christianity needed converts badly. And the prospect for an adult man to have to go through a genital cutting ritual is an obvious turn off to potential recruits. So, for the sake of marketing as well as divinity, circumcision was not included as a Christian tradition.
70 CE The Romans capture the city of Jerusalem during the First Jewish Revolt and destroy the second Temple. With it’s destruction cam an end to the priestly era. Leonard Glick describes the transition from a centralized authority to decentralized communities led by studious men who took up the mantle of social and spiritual leaders within the local communities

“Priestly Judaism was a sacrificial religion, appropriate to a settled agricultural economy. Ordinary people brought animals and crops to the Temple for sacrifices conducted by priests, either as communal offerings or offerings by individuals seeking absolution for sins and transgressions. This way of life persisted for more than five hundred years, through the Hellenistic period and into the era of Roman rule. But, as I’ve noted, by the second century bce large numbers of Jews had left Judea and settled throughout the eastern Mediterranean, particularly in such urban centers as Alexandria, Damascus, and Antioch. Since these emigrants could attend sacrificial rituals in Jerusalem seldom, if ever, they developed their own version of Judaism, centering on synagogues, where they met for everything from communal prayer and Torah study to family celebrations and casual socializing. Men rose to leadership in these communities not through patrilineal descent, and obviously not through claims to priestly authority, but because their fellow Jews recognized and respected their learning and wisdom. It was these men who were called rabbis: ‘masters’ or ‘teachers.’” (Glick, 2005)

c. 90 CE A head tax, the Fiscus Judaicus, is levied against Jews in the Roman Empire.
95 CE The Roman Emperor Titus Clemens is executed for circumcising himself after converting to Judaism
Second Century CE During the Rabbinic period, the rabbis, now attempting to maintain a dispersed Jewish population, reevaluated many Jewish traditions including circumcision. Particularly, they addressed the issue of men “uncircumcising” themselves by stretching their remaining foreskin, effectively undoing the holy covenant. Around 140 ce is when circumcision transformed from the original form to what it is recognized as today. In order to prevent the obliteration of the seal of the covenant, rabbis instituted brit peri’ah (that is ‘covenant of tearing’) which lay bare the glans. The mohel (traditional circumciser) would grasp the remaining foreskin and underlying mucosal tissue, forcibly separating this from the glans (using sharpened thumbnails), and tearing it away. Failure to remove all of the mucosal foreskin tissue, the rabbis ruled, rendered the circumcision invalid. This made the mark of the covenant both irreversible and a stronger marking of Jewish identity.
Probably at the same time they added metsitzah b’peh (sucking) where the mohel would place the freshly circumcised penis in his mouth and suck away the blood from the wound.
132 CE Hadrian outlaws circumcision in the Roman Empire under penalty of death and reiterated the ban on castration. The fact that circumcision received the same penalty as castration attests to the views Romans had on the subject
[Scrpitores historiea Augustae: Hadrian 14.2]
140 CE Emperor Antoninus Pius modified the ruling of Hadrian allowing only Hebrews to circumcise their children, while upholding the legal protection for all others

“Jews are permitted to circumcise only their sons on the authority of a rescript of the Divine Pius; if anyone shall commit it on one who is not of the same religion, he shall suffer the punishment of the castrator.”

[Digesta 48:8:11. Trans. Amnon Linder]

“Roman citizens, who suffer that they themselves or their slaves be circumcised in accordance with the Jewish custom, are exiled perpetually to an island and their property confiscated; the doctors suffer capital punishment. If Jews shall circumcise purchased slaves of another nation, they shall be banished or suffer capital punishment.”

[Paulus, 5:22:3–4, in Linder, *(n. 64), pp. 117–20. 67. Ibid., pp. 138–44.]

The Mishnah

The Mishnah (completed around 200 ce) serve as an ongoing dialogue between rabbis across generations. This text is an organized summary of every precept on social, economic, and ritual behavior that for centuries had been discussed, argued, and interpreted. Circumcision is mentioned several times throughout with some sections devoted entirely to the practice. Rabbinic explanations of circumcision are not concerned with the philosophical and medical rationales claimed by later sources, but with the sanctification of a divine commandment.

“19.2 They do prepare all that is needed for circumcision on the Sabbath: they cut, tear, suck [out the wound]. And they put on it a poultice and cumin. If one did not pound it on the eve of the Sabbath, he chews it in his teeth and puts it on. If one did not mix wine and oil on the eve of the Sabbath, let this be put on by itself and that by itself. And they do not make a bandage in the first instance. But they wrap a rag around [the wound of the circumcision]. If one did not prepare [the necessary rag] on the eve of the Sabbath, he wraps [the rag] around his finger and brings it, and even from a [the necessary rag] on the eve of the Sabbath, he wraps [the rag] around his finger and brings it, and even from a different courtyard.

Here is a discussion piece in the Mishnah between several rabbis on the term “uncircumcised” and it’s interpretation:

"R. Eliezer b. Azariah says, ‘‘The foreskin is disgusting, for evil men are shamed by reference to it’’ ... R. Ishmael says, ‘‘Great is circumcision, for thirteen covenants are made thereby.’’ R. Yose says, ‘‘Great is circumcision, since it overrides the prohibitions of the Sabbath, which is subject to strict rules.’’ R. Joshua b. Qorha says, ‘‘Great is circumcision, for it was not suspended even for a moment for the sake of Moses, the righteous’’ ... Rabbi says, ‘‘Great is circumcision, for, despite all the commandments which Abraham our father carried out, he was called complete and whole only when he had circumcised himself as it is said, Walk before me and be perfect (Gen. 17:1).’’ ‘‘Another matter: Great is circumcision, for if it were not for that, the Holy One, blessed be he, would not have created the world, since it says, Thus says the Lord: But for my covenant day and night, I should not have set forth the ordinances of heaven and earth (Jer. 33:25).’’

210 CE The special value attributed to the prepuce in Greek culture is mirrored in the medical literature when Galen singles it out as being among the most brilliantly useful adornments of the body

“Nature out of her abundance ornaments all the members, especially in man. In many parts there is manifest ornamentation, though at times this is obscured by the brilliance of their usefulness. The ears show obvious ornamentation, and so, I suppose, does the skin called prepuce at the end of the penis and the flesh of the buttocks.”

[Galen, De usu partium corporis humani 11.13. Trans. Margaret Tallmadge May, 2 vols. 1968 2: 529]
339 CE The Chrisitan Emperor Constantine outlaws the circumcision of slaves, making it punishable by death
[Schäfer, The History of the Jews]

The Talmud

The Talmud (completed around 500 ce) is made up of the continued dialogue among rabbis after the writing of the Mishnah. According to rabbinic legislation it is a Jewish father's duty to have his son circumcised (Sh. Ar., YD 260:1). the penalty of non-observance being "karet," excision from the people. Should he neglect to do so, it devolved on the bet din (ibid., 260:2). It is not a sacrament, and any child born of a Jewish mother is a Jew, whether circumcised or not (Ḥul. 4b; 'Ab. Zarah 27a; Shulḥan 'Aruk, Yoreh De'ah, 264, 1). Although circumcision may be performed by any Jew (including a woman, if no man is available: Maim. Yad, Milah, 2:1), in the first instance it is desirable that the operator, called a mohel, be a loyal adherent to the tenets of Judaism (Sh. Ar., YD 264:1). Even in talmudic times, he was described as a craftsman. In most modern communities, he has been specially trained in the principles of asepsis and in the technique of circumcision and has received rabbinic recognition. The operation must be performed on the eighth day, preferably early in the morning (YD 262:1), thus emulating Abraham in his eagerness to undertake a divine command. Should the child be premature or in poor health, the rite must be postponed until seven days after he has recovered from a general disease or until immediately after recovery from a local disorder (262:2–263:3). Should a child for any reason have been circumcised before the eighth day or have been born already circumcised (i.e., without a foreskin, aposthia), the ceremony of "shedding the blood of the covenant" (hattafat dam berit) must be performed on the eighth day, provided it is a weekday and the child is fit (263:4). This is done by puncturing the skin of the glans with a scalpel or needle and allowing a drop of blood to exude. If the eighth day is a Sabbath or festival, the circumcision must nevertheless take place (266:2) unless the child is born by Cesarean section, when it is postponed to the next weekday.
Here is a line referencing the later addition of periah

"The commandment of periah [uncovering and laying bare the corona] was not given to the Patriarch Abraham."

[BT Yevamot 71b]
In a Talmudic passage that relates the Hebrew word “uncircumcised” with “unclean”

“‘the uncircumcised male, like the tumtum [one with incomplete genitals], is a person of ambiguous sexual identity. ... One who is uncircumcised is not only not fully Jewish but also not fully male. ... the uncircumcised Jewish male is not only barely a Jew— he is also, from the Jewish perspective, barely a male”

[Yebamot 70a–72a]
Interestingly, the Talmud also includes exemptions of boys from being circumcised if the parents had lost previous sons to the operation

“It was taught: If she circumcised her first son and he dies, and her second son and he died, she should not circumcise her third son, so taught Rabbi. Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel stated that she should circumcise her third child, but [if he died] her third son, so taught Rabbi. Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel stated that she should circumcise her third child, but [if he died] she must not circumcise her fourth… Rabbi Yochanan said there was once a case in Zippori in which four sisters had sons: The first sister circumcised her son and he died, the second sister circumcised her son and he died, the third sister circumcised her son and he died, and the fourth sister came to Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel and he told her ‘You must not circumcise your son.’”

[Yevamot 64]

The Quran and the Hadiths

Islam, the third Abrahamic religion, was founded in the early seventh century by Muhammad ibn Abdullah. Despite being the most recent major religion, it is the currently the largest circumcising culture in the world. The Quran, made up of Muhammad’s divine revelations, says nothing about circumcision. Only in the Hadiths, his sayings, is it mentioned. It is also within the hadiths that circumcision is a practice for women as well (female circumcision meaning excision of the clitoral hood, defined today by the WHO as type Ia FGM). In the most widely accepted tradition, he is supposed to have taught that "circumcision is a sunnah (ordinance) for men and a makrumah (honorable) for women. Although the Muslim code of religious law (shariah) recommends performance of circumcision at the age of seven days, this is seldom followed. Genesis 17 says that Abraham circumcised Ishmael, the putative ancestor of Arab peoples, at age thirteen, and this age is generally taken as the latest acceptable date (though it is still done later). Most Muslims circumcised young boys, with considerable age variation. Muhammad himself has two conflicting stories regarding his own circumcision. The first is that he was circumcised on his seventh day by his grandfather, Abd al-Muttalib. The second, later version is that he was born circumcised (aposthetic). This seems to be a reflection of the rabbi’s retroactive edits that the Jewish patriarchs were born circumcised (and, by extension, perfect). Circumcision at the time was a common practice in the Arabian peninsula by both Jews and pagans (pagans practiced on boys and girls), so including the practice into the new religion would not be a difficult feat. Differing accounts within the Hadiths sometimes include circumcision, and other times do not.

“Five things are fitra [acts considered to be of a refined person]: circumcision, shaving pubic hair with a razor, trimming the mustache, paring one’s nails, and plucking the hair from one’s armpits.”

[Abu Hurayra, one of the companions of Muhammad]

“Ten are the acts according to fitra: clipping the mustache, letting the beard grow, using toothpicks, snuffing water in the nose, cutting the nails, washing the finger joints, plucking the hair under the armpits, shaving the pubic hair, and cleaning one’s private parts with water. The narrator said: I have forgotten the tenth, but it may have been rinsing the mouth.”

[Aisha, one of Muhammad’s wives. The Book of Purification.]
While the scriptural evidence in support of female circumcision is weak, it is still heavily practiced in Islamic and Islamic adjacent countries to this day. For those who follow the practice, hadiths can be found to support their beliefs:

“A woman used to perform circumcision in Medina. The Prophet said to her: ‘Do not cut severely as that is better for a woman and more desirable for a husband.’”

[Sunan Abu Dawood]
During the rise of Islam and it’s spread, the act of circumcision rose and spread with it. While female circumcision was inconsistent, male circumcision was prominent and undoubtedly considered mandatory by early Muslims.
The myth that circumcision was implemented by the ancient Hebrews for environmental or hygienic purposes follows the origins of Islamic circumcision as well. And just like it’s ancient predecessor, these claims are easily debunked. There are no mentions of hygiene or sand being problematic at the time. Bathing is mentioned so frequently it could not be considered a rare occasion for people of the era. Circumcision is only mentioned in regards to submission of oneself to Allah and to follow the way of the prophet Muhammad.
There are some arguments to be made that circumcision is not prescribed by the Quran. The prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) is not circumcised in the Qur'an, or if he is, no mention of it is ever made in the 67 times that his name is written. A covenant sealed with circumcision, as it is described in the Bible, is also never mentioned. Some quotes even seem to speak directly against the practice

"Let there be no change in Allah's creation."

[ar-Rum 30:30]

Following up on my post two weeks ago, here is the second half!
Magdalena: From Ancient Greek, referring to a person from the ancient village of Magdala, the name of which derived from Aramaic magdala, “tower”
Maggie: From Ancient Greek margarítēs, “pearl”
Mamé: I got nothing! I really tried—I promise. At first I thought it was from French mamé, a less popular but still attested pet name that translates best as “grandma” or “nana,” and because Mamé was born in Switzerland (Geneva, specifically, which is a mostly francophone city) to West African parents—and because her sister, Coralie, has a French name herself—I thought that French could be relevant. It turns out, though, that things are less cut and dry. While Geneva and its environs have a French-speaking majority, Mamé’s parents are from Ghana, which has far, far less French penetration than many other West African nations have, with adolescent and adult French speakers constituting around only one percent of Ghanaians. Neighboring countries Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, and Togo all have French as at least one of their official languages, but Ghana only recognizes English as well as a bouquet of indigenous languages. I did find in this article (page 903) an individual named Mamé who came to Ghana from a village near Bamako in southern Mali, and Bamako itself has a population of which a bit less than half can speak French. So…I don’t know exactly what Mamé’s origin is, but it’s most likely either from a French or an indigenous West African source. I did not find any Arabic names that bore much similarity to Mamé, so I’ve ruled out that language for now.
Maria, Mariah, Marissa: see Anamaria in previous post
Marjorie: see Maggie above
Marvin: From Welsh Merfyn, perhaps related to mêr, “marrow”
Marvita: I’m guessing that it’s a feminine diminutive of Marvin (see above).
Matthew: From Hebrew Mattityahu, from matan, “gift,” and –yahu, “Yahweh” (compare Atalya in previous post)
McKey: Real name is Brittany (see Bre in previous post)
Megan, Megg: see Maggie above
Melrose: Real name is Melissa Rose. Melissa comes from Ancient Greek mélissa, “bee,” while Rose, interestingly enough, comes via Norman French from a Germanic name, *Hrothohaidis (from *hrōthiz, “fame,” and *haiduz, “character”; for the latter element, compare Alisha in previous post), but it was heavily influenced by the word rose, via Latin and Ancient Greek likely from Old Iranian. Melrose is in fact the name of a town in Scotland, and the name derives from an ancient Celtic source akin to Scottish Gaelic maol, “bald,” and ros, “peninsula.”
Mercedes: From Spanish, meaning “mercies”
Michelle, Mikaela, Mike, Mikey: From Hebrew Miykha’el, “who is like god?” (compare Annaliese in previous post)
Mila: Real name is Lyudmila, from a Slavic source akin to Russian ljúdi, “people,” and mílyj, “dear”
Mirjana, Mollie Sue, Molly: See Anamaria in previous post. Sue derives via Latin and Ancient Greek from Hebrew shoshanná, “lily” or “rose,” perhaps from Egyptian sšn or zšn, “lotus.”
Monique: Via Latin of uncertain origin—perhaps Phoenician
Naduah: An Anglo-American woman named Cynthia Ann Parker was given this name when she was adopted by the Comanche people. The name is an anglicized version of Comanche na-uhru, “was found.”
Naima: She mentioned that she was named for the John Coltrane song of the same name, which Coltrane named in honor of his wife, Juanita Grubbs, whose nickname was Naima. The name appears to be of Arabic origin, from na‘im, “bliss” or “delight.”
Nastasia: She even said on camera what her name meant, which was helpful! Nastasia is a variant of Anastasia, from Ancient Greek anástasis, “resurrection.” Remember how, in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, all the characters said “khristos anesti” during Easter celebrations? Same root.
Natalie, Natasha: From Latin diēs nātālis, “birthday” (or, in Church Latin, “Christmas Day”)
Nicole: From Ancient Greek Nikólaos, from níkē, “victory,” and laós, “people”
Nijah: I don’t know for certain because there is a lot of misinformation about this name online—it is in no way derived from a Spanish word for “water queen,” for starters (reina de agua?!)—but my best guess is that it is derived from Arabic najāḥ, “success”
Nik: Real name is Erika, which derives from Old Norse Eiríkr, from Germanic *Aiwarīks, “eternal ruler”
Nikeysha: Pretty sure this is an invented name based on Nicole (see above) and Keisha, which may be a variant of Keziah (see Kesse in previous post) influenced by various names ending in –isha (such as Arabic Aisha, Germanic Alicia, Latin Felicia, etc.)
Nina: A pet form of names ending in –nina, such as Giannina (see Giah in previous post), among many others
Nnenna: From Igbo, “paternal grandmother,” from nne, “mother,” and nna, “father”
Noelle: From French Noël, “Christmas,” from Latin nātālis (see Natalie above)
Norelle: I’m guessing that it’s an elaborative form of Nora, a nickname for Eleanor or Honora. The former comes from Occitan Aliénor, a name borne by Eleanor of Aquitaine, who was given the same name, Aénor, as her mother and was thus referred to as alia Aénor, “the other Aénor.” I’m unsure what Aénor means, but Wikipedia (so sorry) cites a German source that connects the name to a Germanic name, Adenordis, which may be a corruption of an earlier name akin to *Audamērijaz, “famous riches,” though I would need a better source to confirm this. (Compare the names Edith, Edmund, Edwin, and Edward, all of which derive from the root *audaz, “riches.” Also compare obsolete English mere, “famous”; the names Elmer and Wilmer; and the adjective Merovingian.) Honora derives from Latin honor, which means exactly what it looks like.
Nyle: Respelling of Niall, from Irish Gaelic, perhaps related to néal, “cloud,” or nia/niadh, “champion.” Interestingly, the name Nigel has the same origin.
Ondrei: A phonetic spelling of Andrée, from Ancient Greek anēr, “man,” with a feminine ending
Paige: Referring to a page, a young servant, from either Ancient Greek paîs, “child” (compare pediatrician) or Latin pagus, “(boy from the) countryside” (compare pagan)
Phil: From Ancient Greek Phílippos, from phílos, “friend,” and híppos, “horse”
Rachel: From Hebrew rakhél, “ewe”
Rae: Real name is Ashley (see previous post)
Raelia: Most likely an invented name, perhaps based on Rae (as in Rachel above) and Leah (see previous post)
Raina: A Bulgarian name—who would have seen that coming?—that is either derived from Latin rēgīna, “queen,” or the masculine name Radko, from the common Slavic word rad, “glad”
Rebecca: Via Hebrew from a Semitic root, *rbq, “tie” or “connection”
Ren: Not sure about this one. Ren said that her parents named her after Kevin Bacon’s character in Footloose, but I don’t believe the movie says what Ren is short for. My guess is that it’s short for René, a French name from Latin Renatus, “born again” (compare Natalie above).
Renee: From Latin Renatus (see Ren above)
Rhianna: Probably a variant of Rhiannon, via Welsh perhaps from a Brythonic name reconstructed as *Rīgantonā, “queen” (compare Raina above), plus an augmentative suffix
Rhiyan: An elaborative respelling of Ryan, from the Irish surname Ó Riain, perhaps from rí, “king” (compare Raina above), plus a diminutive suffix
Rio: From Spanish río, “river”
Robin: A diminutive of Robert, from the Germanic name *Hrōthiberhtaz, from *hrōthiz, “fame” (compare Melrose above), and *berhtaz, “bright”
Romeo: Via Italian from Greek Rōmaios, “Roman,” from Latin Rōma, “Rome,” a name of uncertain origin
Saleisha: My best guess is that it’s an invented name based on Sally (see Sara below) with the popular suffix –isha (compare Nikeysha above), but I did find that salisha is an imperative verb meaning “cause to pray” in Swahili, so…perhaps that’s something.
Samantha: Most likely either from Samuel (with an elaborative suffix) or from the same Semitic root as Samuel: *šm‘, “to hear”
Sandra: see Alexandra in previous post
Sara, Sarah: From Biblical Hebrew śaráh, “lady” or “princess,” which means “female (government) minister” in modern Hebrew, from the Semitic root *śrr, “to rule”
Seymone: Elaborative respelling of Simone, from Hebrew Šim‘on, from the verb šama‘/lišmo‘a, “to hear” (compare Samantha above)
Shandi: Shandar is an Urdu name that means “fabulous,” and Sháńdíín means “sunshine” in Navajo, but that’s not terribly relevant here. Various websites (that do not cite legitimate sources, if any) connect the name to Shannon, Shoshana, or Welsh Shan (see Shannon below, the etymology of Sue under Mirjana above, and Giah in previous post), but this is neither here nor there. The name seems to come from the Kiss song “Shandi,” which was featured on the album Unmasked, and the song was inspired by the Bruce Springsteen song “4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy),” from the album The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle. I thought for a hot second that Shandi was just an inventive version of Sandy, but then I found this book, which implies that the song was named after a singer named Shandi Sinnamon (not Cinnamon, as the book says), who was born Shandra. It’s not clear what Shandra means, but it may indeed be an inventive version of Sandy (see Alexandra in previous post). Whew!
Shanice: An invented name based on the elements Shan– and –ice that was popularized by the singer of the same name
Shannon: From the name of the river, from Irish Gaelic Sionna, perhaps related to sean, “old” or “ancestor,” a word with some derivatives in Irish that contain “wise” among their definitions (such as seanchríonna)
Sharaun: Real name is Brittney; see Bre in previous post
Sheena: see Giah in previous post
Shei: Real name is Andrea; see Ondrei above
Simone: see Seymone above
Sophie: From Ancient Greek sophíā, "wisdom"
Stacy-Ann: see Analeigh (for Ann) in previous post and Nastasia (for Stacy) above
Stefano: From Ancient Greek stéphanos, “crown” or “wreath”
Sundai: From Old English sunnandæġ, “day of the sun,” a translation of Latin diēs sōlis and Ancient Greek hēmérā hēlíou
Tahlia: Likely a phonetic respelling of Talia, from Hebrew tal, “dew,” and –yah, “Yahweh” (compare Atalya in previous post)
Tash: Likely a pet form for Natasha (see Natalie above)
Tatiana, Tatianna: From Latin Tatius, a Roman name apparently of Sabine origin
Terra: Variant of Tara (influenced by Latin terra, “land”), from Irish Gaelic teamhair, “hill,” though other authors associate Teamhair with Latin templum and Ancient Greek temenos, suggesting an Indo-European origin
Tessa: A nickname for Theresa, perhaps from Ancient Greek Thērasía, an island in the Aegean Sea that was once attached to Thera (aka Santorini), or perhaps from théros, meaning “harvest,” “heat,” or “summer”
Teyona: I’m guessing that it’s a phonetic respelling of Tiana, which can be short for Christiana (see Chris in previous post) or Tatiana (see above)
Tiffany: A variant of Theophania (yes, really), from Ancient Greek theós, “god,” and the suffix –phanēs, “appearing”
Toccara: Most likely from the Avon perfume Toccara, the name of which is apparently derived from Italian toccare, “to touch” (compare French toucher and Spanish tocar)
Victoria: From Latin, meaning “victory”
Xiomara: Possibly a variant of Guiomar, which itself is possibly derived from a Germanic name akin to *Wīgamērijaz, from *wīga, “battle” (compare Louise in previous post), and *mērijaz, “famous” (compare Norelle above)
Wendy: J. M. Barrie seems to have invented this name for the book Peter Pan, basing it on fwendy, a childish way of saying “friend,” but the name occasionally predates the book, and in these cases, it may derive from the Welsh word gwen, “white” (compare Jennifer in previous post)
Whitney: From Old English hwītan īeġe, “(by the) white island”
Will: From the Germanic name *Wiljahelmaz, from *wiljô, “will,” and *helmaz, “helmet”
Yaya: Real name is Camara, which has been a little tough to research. There is a Portuguese surname Câmara, derived from Latin camera, “chamber” or “room,” from Ancient Greek ultimately, but I can’t tell if Yaya’s parents—her mother has Brazilian heritage, by the way—pulled a Beyoncé (whose mother’s surname was Beyincé) and gave their daughter a variation of a family surname as her first name (it’s worth noting that her father’s surname is Johnson, and her mother’s surname is DaCosta, so…maybe scratch that theory). A few websites—without citing sources—claim that Camara means “teacher” in Igbo, but it very much does not; the Igbo word for “(male?) teacher” is onye nkuzi. However, Camara is an attested surname throughout French-speaking West Africa—where the Portuguese had some historical presence—so there may be a partial African origin here. I should also note that Islam is popular in West Africa, and Qamar is an Arabic name (meaning “moon”) that bears a passing similarity to Camara. That’s all I have for now.
Yoanna: see Giah in previous post
Yvonne: A French-ass name, indeed. It is derived from the masculine name Yves, potentially from the Germanic root *īhwaz, “yew”

The Angel Gabriel sure does seem to start a lot of different religions… Biography of Ben Ammi and the BHI (Black Hebrew Israelites)
When ordained[by whom?] as a rabbi at the age of 22, he took the name Ben Ammi Ben-Israel. In 1966, Ben Ammi claims to have received a vision from the angel Gabriel.[1] In the vision, he claimed he was instructed to: “Lead the children of Israel among African Americans to the promised land, and establish the long-awaited Kingdom of God.“

Of Moroni’s first appearance on the night of September 21, 1823, (Mormon) Joseph Smith recorded:
After I had retired to my bed for the night, I betook myself to prayer and supplication to Almighty God for forgiveness of all my sins and follies, and also for a manifestation to me, that I might know of my state and standing before him. While I was thus in the act of calling upon God, I discovered a light appearing in my room, which continued to increase until the room was lighter than at noonday, when immediately a personage appeared at my bedside, standing in the air. He had on a loose robe of most exquisite whiteness. It was a whiteness beyond anything earthly I had ever seen. His hands were naked, and his arms also, a little above the wrist; so, also, were his feet naked, as were his legs, a little above the ankles. His head and neck were also bare. His whole person was glorious beyond description, and his countenance truly like lightning [JSH 1:29-32].

(Islam)Muhammad’s encounter with a angelic being of Light
The angel that Muhamamd was supposed to have met in the cave while meditating and who brought down the Qur’an for recitation. In the first encounter, Aisha related that when Muhammad did not recite, Gabriel caught him (forcefully) and pressed him so hard that he could not bear it any more, and this was repeated three times. Gabriel left Muhammad terribly shaken. Muhammad feared that something might have happened to him, returned and asked Khadija to cover him until his fear was gone. Muhammad thought that the spirit was a jinn. (Sahih Bukhari 1.3) He even contemplated commiting suicide by throwing himself down a mountain.

(Buddhism)
“There were stars all around me and I felt a profound sense of peace. Then a Goddess appeared before me. She was sitting on a lotus and had her right hand up with her open palm facing me. It was glowing with bright white light. Her facial features were so gentle, so compassionate and loving. I knew her to be Kwan Yin. I spent some time connecting with her and letting her nurturing energy fill me up. She gave me several messages, the most memorable being to take care of myself”
——————–
(Seventh Day Adventist)Vision of Ellen White
Her hands were clasped, her eyes uplifted, as she clearly said, “Glory to God.”Then with a quick movement she threw aside the blankets with which she was wrapped and stepped forward, her eyes looking upward as if viewing something of greatest interest. Wringing her hands, and with a look of intense sorrow, she exclaimed, “Dark, dark, so dark!”Later, her face brightened and she exclaimed, “Light! A little light! More light! Much light!”
By now you couldve guessed that this so-called “Angel Gabriel” or “being of light” and the so-called ‘visions’ are indeed fradulant
Why is it that the Angel Gabriel is ALWAYS at the forefront of these radical denominations of christianity and Islam?
[quote=letusreason.org]When one looks at history we find many major religion’s that have been started from angel’s. The Jehovah’s Witnesses, Buddhism Seventh Day Adventist, Mormonism, Black Hebrew Israelities, Hinduism, Islam and almost anything new is no exception to this. The whole New Age movement receives their information from Spirit guides through channeling and automatic writing. The psychics also receive their impressions by familiar spirits who would be identified as fallen angels.
All these and other religions have had communion with angels for their extra-biblical books or are given new revelation for a new interpretation on the Bible. Can the same angel say several different things on the same subject and they both be true? Obviously not, yet this is exactly what Islam claims has transpired in the Koran. They believe the Koran was verbally dictated by the angel Gabriel based on eternal tablets that are in heaven. Naturally, if there is a conflict it must be in the Bible and not their own book. However there something else operating here that proves it is not the angel Gabriel as they claim.[/quote]
so are we to accept the this supposed Angel, is genuinely spreading numerous different contradictory appeals?
take for example
in the Bible the angel Gabriel’s announcement of the Christ to Mary, she is told he would be called the Son of God (which means having the same nature as God) Lk.1:35 also in Mt.1:23 he would be called “Emmanuel”, (God with us.) Are we to accept This is the same angel that told Mohammed that God has no son, and that God is unable to incarnate as a man.
Obviously these are two contradictory accounts of a major doctrine, the incarnation and the nature of God. How can God be the author of so many different accounts? How can the angel Gabriel give differing revelations several hundred years apart..
the answer is that one was not truely the angel Gabriel. One is a liar in masqurede to be of God. The only angel the Bible writes about that wanted to become as God is Satan. We are told specifically not to worship angels in Col.1:18. Obviously the early church had to address this problem. The appearance of an angel can be awesome and cause fear in their heavenly form. John The apostle mistakenly fell down to worship this creature as recorded in Rev.22:8-9. He is told not to do that, but to worship God only. The bible warns about false prophets that will go out into the world 2 John 1:7 Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
the subject of angels and “other gospels are even specifically regaurded to be weiry of Galatians 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!
1 timothy 4:1Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons.
jerimiah 23:6 How long will this continue in the hearts of these lying prophets, who prophesy the delusions of their own minds?
John pleads us to test these spirits against the word.
john 4:1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
by this we know that the general antichristic message that Satan is to focus his confusion to us is in the “true Gospel Message” that christ came in the flesh to die in the place of our condemnation conserning sin. Matthew 24:5 For many will come in my name, claiming, to teach the true Christ, and will deceive many.
we are certainly in the last days, and nearing the tail end; the culmination. this is the final struggle for Gods people and the battle is getting viscioous.
1 John 2:18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. These people left our churches, but they never really belonged with us; otherwise they would have stayed with us. When they left, it proved that they did not belong with us.
James 3:1Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the de If that doesnt paint the exact picture of what we are seeing with the twisting of scripture nowadays I dont know what does. BUT.. Its up to us to get our heads in the game and our nose in the scriptures, Our thoughts can be of the glory to come but our vigilance must be for the salvation of people as thats what we are all called to. Acts 20:30 Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.
Satan is nearing his final curtain call in having any kind of persuasion in these end days so hes pulling out all the stops. revelation 12:12 But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.
1 john 2:18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. {This is how we know it is the last hour.}
Demonic activity will increase as we get closer to the end as well Rev 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. 3 Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Its one more reason to get yourself educated in the word Hos 4:6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge 2 timothy 2:12-15 If we endure, we will reign with him. If we deny him, he will deny us Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
and learn to renew your mind so that you can more easily discern the truth from the lies of the devil. romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will.
He has a great gift for those of us that overcome. the Kingdom of Heaven is for overcomers. Revelation 2:7 …. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God. Revelation 2:11 …..He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death. Rev 21:7 All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children

Introduction
The marriage to Aisha (RA) is the go-to argument against Islam for many anti-Islam/Muslim apologists which includes Jews, Christians, and many other non-Muslims, such as atheists (though some still respect the "Judeo-Christian tradition" for some reason). In responding to Christians, Muslims have often pointed to twelve year old Mary marrying ninety year old Joseph (as well as other sources), to demonstrate that if Christians think that the marriage to Aisha (RA) falsifies Islam, a criterion which Muslims should not accept in the first place as it presupposes objective morals and duties which Islam is subject to, than the same criteria when applied to Christianity would falsify Christianity considering how Mary and Joseph are viewed in the Bible.
That being said, in the following article, I intend to document problems on the basis of the aforementioned criteria within Judaism and Christianity. I will do so by referencing verses and passages which can be found in the Bible (the Old and New Testaments) as well as the Talmud. Furthermore, I will provide a counter-response to an objection some Christian apologists bring regarding the marriage between Mary and Joseph.
Discussion
Judaism
Lets start with the Old Testament (OT) or TaNaKh. When we look at Jewish sources, we find that the commentary of one of the most famous commentators of the TaNaKh, Rabbi Rashi, says that the Jewish version of the Prophet Isaac married Rebecca at 3 years old:

And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebecca the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Padan Aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to himself for a wife.
Genesis 25:20 (Emphasis mine.)

Rabbi Rashi comments on this verse and writes:

forty years old: For when Abraham came from Mount Moriah, he was informed that Rebecca had been born. Isaac was then thirty-seven years old, for at that time Sarah died, and from the time that Isaac was born until the “Binding” [of Isaac], when Sarah died, were thirty-seven years, for she was ninety years old when Isaac was born, and one hundred and twenty-seven when she died, as it is stated (above 23:1): “The life of Sarah was [a hundred and twenty seven years.”] This makes Isaac thirty-seven years old, and at that time, Rebecca was born. He waited for her until she would be fit for marital relations-three years-and then married her. — [From Gen. Rabbah 57:1;
The Complete Jewish Bible with Rashi Commentary (Emphasis mine.)

According to this reference, Isaac waited three years until Rebecca was fit for marital relations, that would have obviously made Rebecca only three years old at the time of consummation. The marriage of Isaac to Rebecca seems to have influenced Jewish scholars when we look at what the Talmud considers to be a valid age for consummating the marriage for a maiden:

R. Joseph said: Come and hear! A maiden aged three years and a day may be acquired in marriage by coition, and if her deceased husband's brother cohabits with her, she becomes his.
Sanhedrin 55

This is reiterated again elsewhere in the Talmud:

R. Jeremiah of Difti said: We also learnt the following: A maiden aged three years and a day may be acquired in marriage by coition, and if her deceased husband's brother cohabited with her, she becomes his.
Sanhedrin 69

Coition is another word for coitus, which means sexual intercourse. The importance of the Talmud in Rabbinic Judaism cannot be understated, it is considered the manual through which the TaNaKh is understood. Rabbi Yehuda Shurpin of the Chabad website writes:

The sages who taught the teachings, ordinances and decrees which make up the Talmud represented the totality of the sages of Israel, or at least the majority of them. Because of this, and because the Talmud was accepted as binding by almost the entire Jewish people at the time, its laws are considered binding on all Jews no matter when or where they live.28 And it is precisely this binding that has kept our Jewish identity strong for thousands of years throughout this long and bitter exile. May we merit the ultimate redemption speedily in our days! ...
28 Maimonides, introduction to Mishneh Torah.
What Is the Talmud?

The marriage to Rebecca and such passages in the Talmud might have also set a tone for marriage in the Jewish community. The historian Amram Tropper writes:

Most men would have married sufficiently late that we would no longer consider them to have been children, yet many women (particularly in Babylonia) married so young that today we would consider them to have been girls, not women. [1]

Moreover, it's interesting to note that the Lord of the TaNaKh blessed Isaac:

Now it came to pass after Abraham's death, that God blessed his son Isaac, and Isaac dwelt near Be'er Lachai Ro'i.
Genesis 25:11 (Emphasis mine.)

This verse is important because it could imply that the actions of Isaac were themselves worthy of emulation (as he was blessed), and, as we can see from above, Jewish scholars seemed to have believed he married and consummated his marriage with Rebecca while she was three years old.
There are also passages from the TaNaKh which allow such behavior. Here is one:

17 So now kill every male child, and every woman who can lie intimately with a man you shall kill. 18 And all the young girls who have no experience of intimate relations with a man, you may keep alive for yourselves.
Numbers 31:17-18 (Emphasis mine.)

Littauer Professor of Hebrew Literature and Philosophy in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations of Harvard University, Shaye J.D. Cohen, writes regarding the phrase 'for yourselves' in Numbers 31:18:

I do not know why the new Jewish version omits ‘for yourselves’; the Hebrew lakhem is unambiguous. That the intent of 'for yourselves' is sexual or matrimonial is obvious; the passage is correctly understood by Rabbi Simeon Yohai in the Sifrei ad loc (177 212H).
The Beginnings of Jewishness: Boundaries, Varieties, Uncertainties [University of california Press, Berkeley / Los Angeles / London, The Regents of the University of California, 1999] by Shaye J. D. Cohen [chapter 8] page 255 – 256 – [Footnote 52] (Reference from Discover the Truth which is linked below)

A Detailed Historical Examination Of Numbers 31:18
Christianity
As I mentioned above in the introduction, in Christianity, we see that the Christian version of Mary was "pledged" or betrothed to the Christian version of Joseph, as seen in Matthew 1:18 (NIV):

This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with Child through the Holy Spirit.

Through tradition we see that Mary was possibly 11 or 12 when this marriage took place, this would also be consistent with Jewish culture. Joseph was, according to tradition, quite old at 90 years old (cf. Marriage of Mary To Joseph the Carpenter). When Muslims cite the marriage of Mary and Joseph, Christian apologists respond by claiming that Joseph is irrelevant to Christianity and that he could have been a murderer (or any other form of unethical behavior for that matter) and it still wouldn't matter in terms of Christian theology. But the very next verse refutes this objection as it says:

19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet[a] did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

Bible Website Footnotes:

[a] Matthew 1:19 Or was a righteous man and
Bible Gateway (Emphasis mine.)

The English Standard Version (ESV) renders this passage as (emphasis mine):

19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly.

Here we see the New Testament refers to Joseph as a righteous/just man. This is problematic for the apologist response in at least two ways from what I can tell.

1. The first is that if Joseph married Mary at that younger age, describing him as being righteous shows that the action of marrying a lady at a younger age did not harm his moral standing. If marrying a lady at such an age was really heinous and wicked act, then he would have never been described as being righteous/just. An apologist might respond here by arguing that the verse doesn't say that Joseph was righteous, just that his resolve to divorce Mary was righteous, but this isn't sound because the text is implying that Joseph wanting to divorce was a consequence of him being righteous, not that the action was itself righteous.
   
2. This also debunks the idea that Joseph's character doesn't matter as the Bible itself testifies to him following the Law which entails being righteous as per the interchangeability of either from the Greek. Moreover, we also know what the law presumably allowed through the marriage of Isaac and Rebecca as well as other references such as Numbers 31:17-18. So, in a sense, this verse could also be implying that the law Joseph was following which allowed such actions was itself righteous.
   

Its also worth noting that in Catholicism, Joseph is considered a saint who is an intercessor. This is important because why would Catholics seek intercession from a morally corrupt person? Another issue with such an objection is that it makes no sense that Jesus, who is god to Christians, would allow his mom ("Mother of God" according to Catholics, see Luke 1:43 which uses the phrase "mother of my Lord") to marry at such an age.
There is also another issue in Matthew 1:18 that must be noted. Lets reread the passage:

His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with Child through the Holy Spirit.

In other words, before they had sex she was already pregnant with Jesus. The question to ask here is: Was Mary capable of giving informed consent to being impregnated by the holy spirit as she was around 11-12 at the time? So, again, given Christian assumptions and standards, which we get through the attacks on Islam, Mary was abused/raped by a "person" of the Trinity, which is, in effect, Jesus himself, given basic logic and Trinitarian presumptions. [2]
Can Christians Dismiss the Entire Old Testament?
I don't think they can. In Matthew 4:4, Christian Jesus appeals to the OT as a source for authority when confronted by Satan, he said:

But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

What he is quoting after saying, "It is written", is Deuteronomy 8:3:

3 And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.

He also appeals to the OT in Matthew 4:7 and 4:10 as well.
Here is a very important verse:

16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness
2 Timothy 3:16

How can Christians determine which parts of the OT are and are not "profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness"? What are the criteria? All scripture would include the Book of Numbers, for example, though, not the Talmud. Why can't someone simply appeal to the previously cited passages in Numbers?
Its also important to keep in mind Christian presuppositions when discussing Judaism (Paul also affirms the marriage to Rebecca, though not necessarily age, in Romans 9:10). Christians believe Jesus is god via the trinity. Therefore, in one form or another, he ordered Numbers 31:17-18 as well as other things in the OT. Moreover, according to the New Testament, Christian Jesus does condemn many things the Jews did, but he never condemns the very early marriage and consummation practices of the Jews, which were justified with the Bible, that he must have known about. And, as I demonstrated above, we also find passages in the New Testament which endorse the Old Testament.
Conclusion
In short, Jews and Christians who object to the marriage to Aisha (RA) and try to use it to falsify Islam, should no longer believe in Judaism and Christianity.

[2] According to the Trinity lets that, A = Father, B = Son (Jesus), C = Holy Spirit, D = God and A, B, C = D (as Christians themselves admit, all persons are God). However, if A, B, C = D then A = B, B = C, and A = C which means that the Son (Jesus) is equal to the Holy Spirit. So, at the very least, it is their god. The following diagram details how Christians view the trinity: Diagram. Without getting into a detailed discussion on the Trinity, someone might object and say that the transitive property is not applicable here because each person is distinct from one another but each participates equally in the godhead. The problem with this is that what makes each one distinct? Does that mean one has a quality the other doesn't? In which case, are they really equal? The person/being distinction with respect to participation also makes no sense in light of the diagram Christians typically use because they necessarily have to put an "is not" between the different persons because if they are connected to the being than that means they are connected to one another. And, as I mentioned, at the very least, it is their god in one form or another.

The most powerful creator could give you >40000000 different beautiful sexy bodies and you could be having intercourse with >10000000 different beautiful sexy women/men at the same time in any location you desire on planet earth. Blond, brunette, blue eyes, green eyes, brown eyes, clear skin, no spots, no marks, no wrinkles, fair skin, skin more beautiful than the sun, perfect eyebrows.
Also the most powerful creator could give you wings so you could have sex in mid air.
Also the most powerful creator could make your body not affected by the extreme cold or the extreme heat. So you could be having intercourse on the sun and mercury and venus and mars and the furthest point of the galaxy in mansions made of materials better than gold, silver, diamond, rubies, pearls.
Also you could be eating >10000000 different types of food at the same time. Sweet, crunchy, crispy, soft. And having >10000000 different types of drinks at the same time.
Also you could be driving >10000000 different objects which are better than cars, (like bugatti,lamborghini, ferrari, rolls royce) planes, cruise ships at the same time listening to the best music.
Music better than Alan Walker and voices better than Justin Bieber, Zayn Malik, Nicki Minaj ect; singing with lyrics that please the most powerful creator.
Also you have the best fragrances on your bodies, better than musk, oud, cologne, Hugo boss etc. The possibilities are endless.
Also the most powerful creator could make you feel amazing. Imagine a sensation >10000000 better than the strongest drugs on the market without the dangerous side effects that drugs have.
I have never taken drugs however I have experienced an amazing feeling one time when I was lying down on my bed in a dream which I could hear beautiful music. The contents of the dream are irrelevant but I felt as if something from my body came out of my body and was hovering above me when I was lying down. It could have been my soul but the creator knows best. The pleasure was absolutely incredible; Words cannot describe how great it was.
Now what I am about to write a THEORY regarding the soul/ruh. Humans that are alive are made of two things body and soul The key is our soul. Once the soul is taken out, the body dies however once the soul is put back in the body functions. If a body has no soul then that body feels no pain unless. (I know that a living person with no nerves does not feel pain or if his nerves are killed.) For example if you burn a dead body no pain is felt. Even if our souls/ruhs are not in a human body we can still experience pain and pleasure. Using this concept say a soul of a good innocent child/baby was to leave the body causing the body to die.The most powerful creator could be causing immense pleasure to the soul of that child/baby while it is out of the body. And one day the most powerful creator could transfer that same soul into a perfect body. Also regarding the shooting and bombing of good innocent children/babies. The most powerful creator could take out the souls of the good children/babies before the bullet or bomb strike hits causing no pain. And the same procedure regarding pleasure that I have mentioned above could happen. Also the notion is debunked that celebrities give their soul to the devil/jinn whatever you want to call them . Because if they did they would be dead. However it might be possible that they communicate with devil/jinn nevertheless I would never accuse them unless proof is found. And this is with all people I do not want to accuse anyone of bad unless proof is found. If the body is preserved and a soul is put back in the body it becomes alive.
FACT The most powerful creator could make the universe expand and make your wealth increase and make you property increase and your beauty increase and the amount of bodies you have increase every single second.
Compare this to people of religions version of heaven. Scientific evidence shows there is no heaven and hell and angels with wings at the moment however the most powerful creator could make you an angel with wings and make your life amazing. Also no angels come to you at the time of death.
I know for a fact the most powerful creator exists and I have prayed to the most powerful creator and may the most powerful creator make me continue praying to the most powerful creator.
To conclude would you rather live your life and die and have a normal death or have a life of eternal pleasure which only the most powerful creator can give you.
AN IMPORTANT POINT I'm not going to tell you "You must follow one of the abrahamic religions in their current form to attain success.". However I will tell you to "Ask the most powerful creator in your heart for guidance and ask for blessings and good things. By asking the most powerful creator in your heart for good things and guidance even if you do not believe in the most powerful creator you have nothing to lose. Also believe in facts." You can ask the most powerful creator whilst doing work and having fun also by praying in your mind. For example when gardening, decorating, running Et Cetera.
Fact 1: The most powerful creator is not like his creation in any way shape or form. Anything we see and anything we hear is created by the creator of the universe.
Fact 2: The most powerful creator’s attributes remained with the most powerful creator in the past;The most powerful creator’s attributes remain with the most powerful creator right now; The most powerful creator’s attributes will remain with the most powerful creator in the future.
Fact 3: The quality of never dying will remain all the time with the most powerful creator because the most powerful creator’s attributes will remain all the time with the most powerful creator. 1.The most powerful creator will not die now or in the future. This refutes the notion that the most powerful creator can do anything as the most powerful creator can not die. Very important note: I am not rejecting the power of the most powerful creator The most powerful creator can turn pieces of wood into humans or create sound from nothing or make a universe out of nothing or make humans breath fire Et Cetera. So to conclude, the most powerful creator can do anything so long as the most powerful creator remains in the same state. For example the most powerful creator is in a living state at the moment and cannot change into a dying state. The most powerful creator is in such a state at the moment that the most powerful creator can not be seen or heard or smelt or tasted or touched or imagined or felt and in the future can not change into a state where the most powerful creator can be seen or heard or smelt or tasted or touched or imagined or felt.

1. Also the quality of not seeing the most powerful creator will remain all the time with the most powerful creator. Just like we cannot see the most powerful creator now we will not see the most powerful creator in the future.
   
2. Also we will not hear the most powerful creator speak in the future just like we cannot hear the most powerful creator speak now. Furthermore all sound is created.
   
3. The same concept is applicable to other sensors like our taste, smell, feel and imagination.
   
4. So basically the most powerful creator cannot be seen or heard or imagined in our brain for eternity, rather anything that can be seen or heard or imagined in our brain is a creation.
   
5. Also the belief of some deluded people of feeling the most powerful creator or the presence of the most powerful creator is also false.
   

Fact 4: This proves that modern day sects that believe that believe a man called Moosa/Moshe/Moses literally heard the most powerful creator are false.
PS I did not use the word “him” in my writing because the most powerful creator is not male or female.
Also I did not use the word God in my writing because according to The Origin of the Word 'God' (http://linguistics.stackexchange.com/questions/2229/the-origin-of-the-word-god) on the 6th April 2017: “The word God is a relatively new European invention, which was never used in any of the ancient Judaeo-Christian scripture manuscripts that were written in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek or Latin.”
So do you think I should ascribe an invented word which is manmade and/or could have possible pagan origins to describe the most powerful creator?
Also I did not use the word Yahweh or Allah, as it is possible that these words have pagan origins and/or they were both man made. If we lived back in the past we would know if it had pagan origins or not. However in our time I do not know.
Second PS If the most powerful creator loves you I love you with all my heart and if the most powerful creator hates you I hate you with all my heart. Also if an atheist comes to you asking you who created the most powerful creator here is a refutation: Fact 1:Every created thing must have a creator and at some point in time did not exist. Fact 2:The most powerful creator is not created by anything therefore it does not have another creator. Fact 3: The most powerful creator can not be seen, heard, smelt, tasted, touched, imagined or felt. Rather anything that can be seen, heard, smelt, tasted, touched, imagined or felt is created by the most powerful creator. Fact 4: If the most powerful creator did not exist there would be no universe because the universe is created and every created thing must have a creator and at some point in time did not exist. Fact 5: Also the question in many atheists mind of “Who created the most powerful creator” can be refuted because: The most powerful creator does not require a creator as only created things must have a creator and the most powerful creator is not a created thing.
PS The most powerful creator is invisible. Before there was space the most powerful creator existed. Basically the most powerful creator is an invisible, unseeable, unhearable, unsmellable force that created the universe from nothing. The most powerful creator created space from nothing.
Islam has either changed or has been made up which in its present day form goes against science and also has questionable moral values.
Regarding Angels and The Ascension miraaj.
There is no proof that angels exist. There is no mention of the planets that orbit the sun other than earth in the Qur’an we have today and the hadith. ( Mercury, Venus, Mars ect ). For arguments sake we will say heaven exists. Now if a Prophet really went to heaven or in the highest part of the universe; Why did he not mention regarding all the planets and the milky way in detail? You will not find mention of Mercury, Venus, Mars or the Milky Way in the modern day Qur’aan and the hadith. Also there is no evidence that the moon has ever been split.

And similarly a man amongst you may do (evil) deeds till there is only a cubit between him and the (Hell) Fire, and then what has been written for him decides his behavior, and he starts doing deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise."

AlQuran Surah An nisaa’ Verse 34 Translation Muhsin Khan Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allah and to their husbands), and guard in the husband’s absence what Allah orders them to guard (e.g. their chastity, their husband’s property, etc.). As to those women on whose part you see ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful), but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance). Surely, Allah is Ever Most High, Most Great.

Also if sunni/shia muslims still claim they are right then according to their logic they will have to admit that modern day mormons are right and Joseph smith is a prophet because according to sunni/shia and Mormons;
1.Both were visited by an angel. Joseph Smith was visited by the angel "Moroni" and the arabian prophet by Gabriel.
2.Both claimed to be a final prophet of God/Allah. 3.Both claimed they were persecuted because of their pure faith. 4.Both were polygamists who had many wives.

1. Immediately after the death of the arabian man and Smith, a fight broke out from among the "faithful converts" as to who would succeed the arabian prophet and Smith. Both groups were plunged into irreparable division that has endured ever since. Sunni/Shia Islam and Mormonism both have squabbles among themselves as to who is the one true splinter group of their prophet!

Also this point is very important
Both Sunni/Shia and Mormons claim their last prophet was illiterate or uneducated and used this as proof the book was inspired. "How could an illiterate man write the Koran or the Book of Mormon?" Joseph Smith is claimed to have only grade three education.
So if a Sunni/Shia claim that the man from arabia is the last prophet; then using their logic and reasoning you should tell them that Joseph Smith must be a prophet also? Remember being a prophet is based on proof not on the grounds that “How could an illiterate man write the Koran?” or “How could an illiterate man write the Book of Mormon?
So to conclude either Islam has been changed or it was wrong in the first place.

The most powerful creator could make you live in pleasure for eternity or the most powerful creator could make you live in pain for eternity.
The most powerful creator could give you >40000000 different beautiful sexy bodies and those bodies could be having intercourse with >10000000 different beautiful sexy women/men at the same time in any location those bodies desire on planet earth. Blond, brunette, blue eyes, green eyes, brown eyes, clear skin, no spots, no marks, no wrinkles, fair skin, skin more beautiful than the sun, perfect eyebrows.
Also the most powerful creator could give those bodies wings so those bodies could have sex in mid air and give those bodies there own light so they can light up dark rooms also.
Also the most powerful creator could make those bodies any size those bodies want, be it 3 metres or 10 metres or 100 metres and give those bodies any muscular physique those bodies want. Some of those bodies bodies could have six pack abs while others could have eight pack abs. Some could be lean and ripped with no fat while others could be huge with no fat as well.
Also the most powerful creator could give those bodies such strength that those bodies could pick up planets like Jupiter and Mars and throw them. And those bodies can punch or kick or elbow or knee or karate chop or strike in any other way or bite or scratch through a brick wall or a gold wall or a diamond wall or a wurtzite boron nitride wall without being injured.
Also the most powerful creator could give those bodies such durability that no object can cut the teeth of those bodies or cut the skin of those bodies. And nothing can cut the eyeballs of those bodies to such an extent, if somebody was to stab the eyeballs of those bodies with the tip of a diamond sword at the speed of light the sword would shatter. And nothing can make those bodies move to such an extent, if an object which has the mass of Jupiter was to hit those bodies at the speed of light, those bodies would not even move at all and that object would bounce off damaged.
Also the most powerful creator could give those bodies the ability to fly or run faster than the speed of light. And strike faster than the speed of light. And long jump or high jump from one end of the universe to the other.
Also the most powerful creator could make those bodies body not affected by the extreme cold or the extreme heat. So those bodies could be having intercourse on the sun and mercury and venus and mars and the furthest point of the galaxy in mansions made of materials better than gold, silver, diamond, rubies, pearls.
Also those bodies could be eating >10000000 different types of food at the same time. Sweet, crunchy, crispy, soft. And having >10000000 different types of drinks at the same time.
Also those bodies could be driving >10000000 different objects which are better than cars, (like bugatti,lamborghini, ferrari, rolls royce) planes, cruise ships at the same time.
Also those bodies could sing better than any singer today as well as compose music better than any composer today.
Also those bodies have the best fragrances on better than musk, oud, cologne, Hugo boss etc. The possibilities are endless.
Also the most powerful creator could make those bodies feel amazing. Imagine a sensation >10000000 better than the strongest drugs on the market without the dangerous side effects that drugs have.
I have never taken drugs however I have experienced an amazing feeling one time when I was lying down on my bed in a dream which I could hear beautiful music. The contents of the dream are irrelevant but I felt as if something from my body came out of my body and was hovering above me when I was lying down. It could have been my soul but the creator knows best. The pleasure was absolutely incredible; Words cannot describe how great it was.
Now what I am about to write a THEORY regarding the soul. Humans that are alive are made of two things body and soul The key is our soul. Once the soul is taken out, the body dies however once the soul is put back in the body functions. If a body has no soul then that body feels no pain unless. (I know that a living person with no nerves does not feel pain or if his nerves are killed.) For example if those bodies burn a dead body no pain is felt. Even if our souls are not in a human body we can still experience pain and pleasure. Using this concept say a soul of a good innocent child/baby was to leave the body causing the body to die.The most powerful creator could be causing immense pleasure to the soul of that child/baby while it is out of the body. And one day the most powerful creator could transfer that same soul into a perfect body. Also regarding the shooting and bombing of good innocent children/babies. The most powerful creator could take out the souls of the good children/babies before the bullet or bomb strike hits causing no pain. And the same procedure regarding pleasure that I have mentioned above could happen. Also the notion is debunked that celebrities give their soul to the devil/jinn whatever those bodies want to call them . Because if they did they would be dead. However it might be possible that they communicate with devil/jinn nevertheless I would never accuse them unless proof is found. And this is with all people I do not want to accuse anyone of bad unless proof is found. If the body is preserved and a soul is put back in the body it becomes alive.
FACT The most powerful creator could make an evil people have numerous bodies also. So that way the evil person could experience different types of pain at the same time. Some of those bodies could experience the pain of heat. Others could experience the pain of being sliced with incredibly sharp objects. Others could experience the pain of being hit hard. For example a blow of more than >10000000 Newtons.
The good bodies could beat the bad bodies up for eternity with punches and kicks (roundhouse kicks, spinning back kicks etc.) and any other strikes out there just for fun. They could use the evil bodies eyes for target practice with bows and arrows or guns or stones etc. just for fun. They could gang up on the evil bodies and give them a collective beatdown with their bare hands or with knuckle dusters or with baseball bats just for fun. They could burn the evil bodies alive for fun. They could slice them up with >10000000 °Celsius knifes just for fun.They could hang them or stone them or throw them off mountains just for fun. They could fly in the sky with their bodies and throw them from the end of the universe to earth just for fun. They could feed them to lions and tigers and watch as they are decimated just for fun. They could run them over with cars and lorries and tanks just for fun. They could nail them to trees and watch them suffer just for fun. The possibilities are endless.
The most powerful creator could make the universe expand and make your wealth increase and make your property increase and your beauty increase and the amount of bodies you have increase every single second. (I know according to science the universe is expanding).
Compare this to major religions versions of “heaven”. Scientific evidence shows there is no heaven and hell and angels with wings at the moment however the most powerful creator could make you an angel with wings and make your life amazing. Also no angels come to you at the time of death.
I know for a fact the most powerful creator exists and I have prayed to the most powerful creator and may the most powerful creator make me continue praying to the most powerful creator.
To conclude would you rather live your life and die and have a normal death or have a life of eternal pleasure which only the most powerful creator can give you.
AN IMPORTANT POINT I'm not going to tell you "You must follow one of the abrahamic religions in their current form to attain success.". However I will tell you to "Ask the most powerful creator in your heart for guidance and ask for blessings and good things. By asking the most powerful creator in your heart for good things and guidance even if you do not believe in the most powerful creator you have nothing to lose. Also believe in facts." You can ask the most powerful creator whilst doing work and having fun also by praying in your mind. For example when gardening, decorating, running Et Cetera.
Fact 1: The most powerful creator is not like his creation in any way shape or form. Anything we see and anything we hear is created by the creator of the universe.
Fact 2: The most powerful creator’s attributes remained with the most powerful creator in the past;The most powerful creator’s attributes remain with the most powerful creator right now; The most powerful creator’s attributes will remain with the most powerful creator in the future.
Fact 3: The quality of never dying will remain all the time with the most powerful creator, because the most powerful creator’s attributes will remain all the time with the most powerful creator. 1.The most powerful creator will not die now or in the future. This refutes the notion that the most powerful creator can do anything as the most powerful creator can not die. Very important note: I am not rejecting the power of the most powerful creator The most powerful creator can turn pieces of wood into humans or create sound from nothing or make a universe out of nothing or make humans breath fire Et Cetera. So to conclude, the most powerful creator can do anything so long as the most powerful creator remains in the same state. For example the most powerful creator is in a living state at the moment and cannot change into a dying state. The most powerful creator is in such a state at the moment that the most powerful creator can not be seen or heard or smelt or tasted or touched or imagined or felt and in the future can not change into a state where the most powerful creator can be seen or heard or smelt or tasted or touched or imagined or felt.

1. Also the quality of not seeing the most powerful creator will remain all the time with the most powerful creator. Just like we cannot see the most powerful creator now we will not see the most powerful creator in the future.
   
2. Also we will not hear the most powerful creator speak in the future just like we cannot hear the most powerful creator speak now. Furthermore all sound is created.
   
3. The same concept is applicable to other sensors like our taste, smell, feel and imagination.
   
4. So basically the most powerful creator cannot be seen or heard or imagined in our brain for eternity, rather anything that can be seen or heard or imagined in our brain is a creation.
   
5. Also the belief of some deluded people of feeling the most powerful creator or the presence of the most powerful creator is also false.
   

Fact 4: This proves that modern day sects that believe that believe a man called Moosa/Moshe/Moses literally heard the most powerful creator are false.
PS I did not use the word “him” in my writing because the most powerful creator is not male or female.
Also I did not use the word God in my writing because according to The Origin of the Word 'God' (http://linguistics.stackexchange.com/questions/2229/the-origin-of-the-word-god) on the 6th April 2017: “The word God is a relatively new European invention, which was never used in any of the ancient Judaeo-Christian scripture manuscripts that were written in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek or Latin.”
So do you think I should ascribe an invented word which is manmade and/or could have possible pagan origins to describe the most powerful creator?
Also I did not use the word Yahweh or Allah, as it is possible that these words have pagan origins and/or they were both man made. If we lived back in the past maybe we would know if it had pagan origins or not. However in our time I do not know.
Second PS If the most powerful creator loves you I love you with all my heart and if the most powerful creator hates you I hate you with all my heart. Also if an atheist comes to you asking you who created the most powerful creator here is a refutation: Fact 1:Every created thing must have a creator and at some point in time did not exist. Fact 2:The most powerful creator is not created by anything therefore it does not have another creator. Fact 3: The most powerful creator can not be seen, heard, smelt, tasted, touched, imagined or felt. Rather anything that can be seen, heard, smelt, tasted, touched, imagined or felt is created by the most powerful creator. Fact 4: If the most powerful creator did not exist there would be no universe because the universe is created and every created thing must have a creator and at some point in time did not exist. Fact 5: Also the question in many atheists mind of “Who created the most powerful creator” can be refuted because: The most powerful creator does not require a creator as only created things must have a creator and the most powerful creator is not a created thing.
PS The most powerful creator is invisible. Before there was space the most powerful creator existed. The most powerful creator is a invisible, unseeable, unhearable, unsmellable, force that created the universe from nothing. The most powerful creator created space from nothing.
Islam has either changed or has been made up which in its present day form goes against science and also has questionable moral values.
Regarding Angels and The Ascension miraaj.
There is no proof that angels exist. There is no mention of the planets that orbit the sun other than earth in the Qur’an we have today and the hadith. ( Mercury, Venus, Mars ect ). Also there is no mention of the moons of other planets For example the moons of Mars (Deimos and Phobos).
For arguments sake we will say heaven exists. Now if a Prophet really went to heaven or in the highest part of the universe; Why did he not mention regarding all the planets and their moons in detail? You will not find mention of Mercury, Venus, Mars and its moons (Deimos and Phobos), Jupiter and its 67 moons, Saturn and its 62 moons etc. in the modern day Qur’aan and the hadith. Also there is no evidence that the moon of earth has ever been split.

Quran english al isra Verse 85
Translation Muhsin Khan And they ask you (O Muhammad SAW) concerning the Ruh (the Spirit); Say: “The Ruh (the Spirit): it is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of knowledge, you (mankind) have been given only a little.”
AlQuran english ali imran 183 Translation Muhsin Khan Those (Jews) who said: “Verily, Allah has taken our promise not to believe in any Messenger unless he brings to us an offering which the fire (from heaven) shall devour.” Say: “Verily, there came to you Messengers before me, with clear signs and even with what you speak of; why then did you kill them, if you are truthful?”
AlQuran english al isra Verse 90
Translation Muhsin Khan And they say: “We shall not believe in you (O Muhammad SAW), until you cause a spring to gush forth from the earth for us;
91 “Or you have a garden of date-palms and grapes, and cause rivers to gush forth in their midst abundantly;
92 “Or you cause the heaven to fall upon us in pieces, as you have pretended, or you bring Allah and the angels before (us) face to face;
93“Or you have a house of adornable materials (like silver and pure gold, etc.), or you ascend up into the sky, and even then we will put no faith in your ascension until you bring down for us a Book that we would read.” Say (O Muhammad SAW): “Glorified (and Exalted) be my Lord (Allah) above all that evil they (polytheists) associate with Him! Am I anything but a man, sent as a Messenger?”
PS Just like you cannot see the most powerful creator now similarly you will never see the most powerful creator in the future. The most powerful creator is invisible. Before there was space the most powerful creator existed. The most powerful creator is a invisible, unseeable, unhearable, unsmellable force that created the universe from nothing. The most powerful creator created space from nothing.
Wife beating and mysogyny
It was narrated that Ash'ath bin Qais said: "I was a guest (at the home) of 'Umar one night, and in the middle of the night he went and hit his wife, and I separated them. When he went to bed he said to me: 'O Ash'ath, learn from me something that I heard from the Messenger of Allah" A man should not be asked why he beats his wife, and do not go to sleep until you have prayed the Witr."' And I forgot the third thing."

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Isn't the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?" The women said, "Yes." He said, "This is because of the deficiency of a woman's mind."

AlQuran Surah An nisaa’ Verse 34 Translation Muhsin Khan Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allah and to their husbands), and guard in the husband’s absence what Allah orders them to guard (e.g. their chastity, their husband’s property, etc.). As to those women on whose part you see ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful), but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance). Surely, Allah is Ever Most High, Most Great.
AlQuran english Al ‘Ahzab 33
Muhsin Khan And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance, and perform As-Salat (IqamatasSalat), and give Zakat and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah wishes only to remove ArRijs (evil deeds and sins, etc.) from you, O members of the family (of the Prophet SAW), and to purify you with a thorough purification.
Imagination problem and bad advice
Narrated Aisha: Once the Prophet (ﷺ) was bewitched so that he began to imagine that he had done a thing which in fact he had not done. Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 3175 In-book reference : Book 58, Hadith 17 USC-MSA web (English) reference : Vol. 4, Book 53, Hadith 400 (deprecated numbering scheme)
Anas reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) happened to pass by the people who had been busy in grafting the trees. Thereupon he said: If you were not to do it, it might be good for you. (So they abandoned this practice) and there was a decline in the yield. He (the Holy Prophet) happened to pass by them (and said): What has gone wrong with your trees? They said: You said so and so. Thereupon he said: You have better knowledge (of a technical skill) in the affairs of the world.

Violence
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."
Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 2926 In-book reference : Book 56, Hadith 139 USC-MSA web (English) reference : Vol. 4, Book 52, Hadith 177 (deprecated numbering scheme) AlQuran Surah At Taubah Verse 29 1.Muhsin Khan Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. PS Followers of this religion can lie in order to protect themselves so long as they believe in their hearts. Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called,: "War is deceit".‏ Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 3029 In-book reference : Book 56, Hadith 236 USC-MSA web (English) reference : Vol. 4, Book 52, Hadith 268 (deprecated numbering scheme) AlQuran Surah An Nahl Verse 106 Translation Muhsin Khan Whoever disbelieved in Allah after his belief, except him who is forced thereto and whose heart is at rest with Faith but such as open their breasts to disbelief, on them is wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a great torment.
Also if sunni/shia muslims still claim they are right then according to their logic they will have to admit that modern day mormons are right and Joseph smith is a prophet because according to sunni/shia and Mormons;
1.Both were visited by an angel. Joseph Smith was visited by the angel "Moroni" and the arabian prophet by Gabriel.
2.Both claimed to be a final prophet of God/Allah. 3.Both claimed they were persecuted because of their pure faith. 4.Both were polygamists who had many wives.

1. Immediately after the death of the arabian man and Smith, a fight broke out from among the "faithful converts" as to who would succeed the arabian prophet and Smith. Both groups were plunged into irreparable division that has endured ever since. Sunni/Shia Islam and Mormonism both have squabbles among themselves as to who is the one true splinter group of their prophet!

Also this point is very important
Both Sunni/Shia and Mormons claim their last prophet was illiterate or uneducated and used this as proof the book was inspired. "How could an illiterate man write the Koran or the Book of Mormon?" Joseph Smith is claimed to have only grade three education.
So if a Sunni/Shia claim that the man from arabia is the last prophet; then using their logic and reasoning you should tell them that Joseph Smith must be a prophet also? Remember being a prophet is based on proof not on the grounds that “How could an illiterate man write the Koran?” or “How could an illiterate man write the Book of Mormon?
So to conclude either Islam has been changed or it was wrong in the first place.
