Talk:Collyridianism

message: The Collyridians have been noted in this article for offering cakes to Mary. This ancient practice most likely has its roots in the cult of Ishtar. Ishtar was known as the Queen of heaven and was highly revered by the Babylonians. The offering of cakes as a form of devotion to her was common practice and this may have found its way into to some early sects of Christianity due to the similarities between Mary and Ishtar such as their divine relationship with the Godhead. Today this practice of devotion can still be seen in the Christian tradition of eating,'Hot Cross Buns' during the Easter(Ishtar)festival. Please read the 'Myths of Tammuz and Ishtar' for further reference. A reliable book for this information is called, 'Myths of Babylonia and Assyria', by Donald A. MacKenzie, [1915].

replies: text: Sorry I didn't see your comments previously.  While there were almost certainly  pagan influences on the Collyridians, our very sketchy knowledge of the group doesn't allow us to trace such influences in any detail -- and the fact that Collyridians were pagan influenced doesn't mean that mainstream Christians were also significantly pagan influenced in their theological doctrines.  Also, there is no etymological linguistic relationship between the words Ishtar and Easter (see previous discussions at Talk:Ishtar). AnonMoos (talk) 08:39, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

:START
:The Collyridians have become of interest in some recent Christian–Muslim religious discussions in reference to the Islamic concept of the Christian Trinity. The debate hinges on some verses in the Qur'an, primarily , , and  in the sura Al-Ma'ida, which have been taken to imply that Muhammad believed that Christians considered Mary part of the Trinity.  This idea has never been part of mainstream Christian doctrine, and is not clearly and unambiguously attested among any ancient Christian group (including the Collyridians).  But there has been some modern speculation that Muhammad might have confused heretical Collyridian beliefs with those of orthodox Christianity. There is no evidence that Collyridianism still existed in Muhammad's time (the 6th and 7th centuries AD), but perhaps the idea of the divinity of Mary might have been associated with Christian belief in Arabia because of the heritage of the Collyridian heresy. Some scholars reject the interpretation according to which the Qur'an is said to assert that Mary was part of the Trinity, since the relevant statements can be seen as emphasizing the purely human nature of Mary to reinforce the Islamic belief in the purely human nature of Jesus, whilst also serving as a general restatement of the central Islamic doctrine of Tawhid, the pure oneness of God.

:That's certainly one common Christian view -- and it's pretty clear that Muhammad had no access to any written Bible translations in Arabic, and derived all his knowledge of Judaism and Christianity from talking with Christians and Jews (and apparently Samaritans) who were not always the most knowledgeable and orthodox in their own religions, and who did not strictly distinguish the Bible from post-Biblical folklore.  However, your comments cannot be included in the article as they stand (nor can the common Muslim view that anything in Christian or Jewish scriptures which contradicts anything said by Muhammad is therefore ipso facto "corrupted" be presented in a Wikipedia article as uncontroverted fact)...

thread_title:  Just a proof Muhammad didn't understand nothing about christianity 

message: ;The worship of Mary in different ages
;In early Christianity
George Sale in the preliminary discourse to his translation of The Koran says:But, to be more particular as to the nation we are now writing of, Arabia was of old famous for heresies; which might be in some measure attributed to the liberty and independency of the tribes. Some of the Christians of that nation believed the soul died with the body, and was to be raised again with it at the last day: these Origen is said to have convinced. Among the Arabs it was that the heresies of Ebion, Beryllus, and the Nazareans, and also that of the Collyridians, were broached, or at least propagated; the latter introduced the Virgin Mary for God, or worshipped her as such offering her a sort of twisted cake called collyris, This notion of the divinity of the Virgin Mary was also believed by some at the Council of Nice, who said there were two gods besides the Father viz. Christ and the virgin Mary, and were thence named Mariamites. Others imagined her to be exempt from humanity, and deified; which goes but little beyond the popish superstition in calling her the complement of the Trinity, as if it were imperfect without her. This foolish imagination is justly condemned in the Koran as idolatrous, and gave a handle to Mohammed to attack the Trinity itself.
;In the era of the Prophet Muhammad
Arab sources indicate that Arabs  knew Jesus and Mary and knew that there was a Christian sect that worshiped them, in books on the interpretation of verses of the Qur'an there are Many Hadiths indicate when the Prophet Mohammed was in Mecca before the migration to Medina and when the verse Quran 21:98 was revealed . which says in abbreviation that the polytheists and the inanimate objects that you worship will be the fuel for Hell. This verse caused some men of Quraish tribe to object it and the objection was  that the Jews worship Uzair and that the Christians worship Jesus and Mary and that they are worship the angels (Some of them said that the Banu Malih worship angels and Banu Malih is a large family in Quraish) and all of these people are righteous. Are they also? In hell ,to be the Prophet Muhammad's response that the verse said (m+a+) Which is used for inanimate objects..
;Rakusiyya sect
The Rakusiyya (الركوسية) sect is an Arab Christian sect that shares the belief  with Sabellianism sect that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one person,about Mary they believe that when Allah united with Mary when she conceived her with the Word, Mary also became godThe sect later became extinct because the number of followers of the Kanu sect was very small and because they converted to Islam.
;In the modern age
