Response by Randy Desmond to how many angels
were talking to Mary
There is an assumption that the author of the
contradiction makes which I can not verify. That assumption
is that 3:42-45 and 19:17-18 are the same occasion. Is it
not reasonable that Mary (may God be pleased with her) was
informed of what was to happen more than once? Keep in mind
assumptions which do not contradict the Qur'an and allow an
uncontradictory solution, like the one I am entertaining
with respect to the number of times Mary was informed
angelic beings, may not be the actual truth (and I am not
saying that Mary was told this information once, twice, or
many times), but nevertheless those assumptions which
illustrate that a contradiction has not been proven are just
as valid as assumptions which lead to contradictions.
Therefore, the contradiction has not been proven at all, and
with that I leave it with the following: God knows best how
many times Mary was told this information and who told
her.
So according to the criteria of proving a contradiction,
the contradiction author's argument fails. If the reader is
wondering what the criteria of proof of contradiction is,
see my response to this web site's page on "Heavens or
Earth, Which was created first?". In that response I detail
how to determine whether or not a proposed contradiction has
proven its point.
