okay relaxjack truth clear from error then
here it is...
first stolen story
- The story of the pigeons comes from The 'Thomas' Gospel of the infancy of Jesus Christ'. (Sura 3:49 and 5:11). (wich is also found in the The First Gospel in the infancy of Jesus Christ)
Thomas Gospel of the infancy of Jesus Christ Reference about the Clay birds:
II. 1 This little child Jesus when he was five years old was playing at the ford of a brook: and he gathered together the waters that flowed there into pools, and made them straightway clean, and commanded them by his word alone. 2 And having made soft clay, he fashioned thereof twelve sparrows. And it was the Sabbath when he did these things (or made them)...3 And a certain Jew when he saw what Jesus did, playing upon the Sabbath day, departed straightway and told his father Joseph: Lo, thy child is at the brook, and he hath taken clay and fashioned twelve little birds, and hath polluted the Sabbath day. 4 And Joseph came to the place and saw: and cried out to him, saying: Wherefore doest thou these things on the Sabbath, which it is not lawful to do? But Jesus clapped his hands together and cried out to the sparrows and said to them: Go! and the sparrows took their flight and went away chirping. 5 And when the Jews saw it they were amazed, and departed and told their chief men that which they had seen Jesus do.
First Gospel in the infancy of Jesus Christ Reference about Clay bird reference:
46. Again, on another day, the Lord Jesus was with the boys at a stream of water, and they had again made little fish-ponds. And the Lord Jesus had made twelve sparrows, and had arranged them round His fish-pond, three on each side. And it was the Sabbath-day. Wherefore a Jew, the son of Hanan, coming up, and seeing them thus engaged, said in anger and great indignation: Do you make figures of clay on the Sabbath-day? And he ran quickly, and destroyed their fish-ponds. But when the Lord Jesus clapped His hands over the sparrows which He had made, they flew away chirping. Then the son of Hanan came up to the fish-pond of Jesus also, and kicked it with his shoes, and the water of it vanished away. And the Lord Jesus said to him: As that water has vanished away, so thy life shall likewise vanish away. And immediately that boy dried up.
and these are arguments that this story isn't stolen from the quran, in case you were gonna try to reverse the claim:
- The majority of the traditions contained in the Infancy Gospel of Thomas date to the middle of the second century.
- The Infancy Gospel of Thomas is clearly not the work of the disciple of Jesus mentioned in all four canonical gospels. Thomas is not only not named as author in the earliest manuscripts, but the text was also briefly ascribed to James.
- The text was not written by any first century writer because the author shows virtually no knowledge of jewish life in the time of Jesus
- Also, the text could not have originated in the first century because it is dependent on the Gospel of Luke for the story of Jesus in the temple at age twelve.
