Much like the different Bible versions today, there are flavors of interpretations of the Koran based on sect or as we call them in Christianity Denominations. The current one trying to kill off all other versions is that promoted by the Islamic State known as ISIS they claim to have the only true INTERPRETATION, Sunni interpretation. While the Shiites claim they have the only true interpretation. And here in America you have the Nation of Islam and it is nothing like Islam of Indonesia, Africa, Middle East. It is the same problem here as it is with Bibles today, SINFUL, MURDEROUS, SICK, PERVERTED MEN AND WOMEN DESIRING TO RULE OVER OTHER SINFUL, MURDEROUS, SICK, PERVERTED MEN AND WOMEN. But sin was already dealt with on the cross. Love it or leave it.
It will open your eyes to the truth about the so called god, Allah.
the history you have has been changed to hide the truth.

Being forsaken was a necessary part of the work Jesus came to do, that is why he agonized in prayer the night that began the sixth day of the week of unleavened bread.

Woe. The Koran mentions Mary and Jesus.
45. (And remember) when the angels said: O Mary! Lo! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a word from him, whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, illustrious in the world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (unto Allah).
46. He will speak unto mankind in his cradle and in his manhood, and he is of the righteous.
47. She said: My Lord! How can I have a child when no mortal hath touched me ? He said: So (it will be). Allah createth what He will. If He decreeth a thing, He saith unto it only: Be! and it is.
48. And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel,
49. And will make him a messenger unto the Children of Israel, (saying): Lo! I come unto you with a sign from your Lord. Lo! I fashion for you out of clay the likeness of a bird, and I breathe into it and it is a bird, by Allah's leave. I heal him who was born blind, and the leper, and I raise the dead, by Allah's leave. And I announce unto you what ye eat and what ye store up in your houses. Lo! herein verily is a portent for you, if ye are to be believers.

Unicorn was the name given it by Adam when God brought them before him to see what he would call them. And whatever he called them that is what they were called.

Unicorns are just short, fat little cattle with one real horn in their face, they herd meaning they graze like most herding animals i.e. cows and bulls, sheep, goats, antelope, Elk and deer.

If you would put timelines to "so called Greek fantasies" you would find that most of the Greek gods were based on Biblical characters, pre and post flood, as well as Biblical characters like Samson, no Greek record of Hercules until after Samson was on the scene, giant gods were known as the sons of God dating back to the time of the Flood and then appeared shortly there after. The sons of God are angles, Cherubs, Seraphims and Cherubims, they stood anywhere from 12 to 18 ft tall.

Not 90 feet as Mohammad tried to sell off his wares after reading the OT Rabbi's commentaries which also claimed such about all the sons of God including Adam (plagiarized like he did Bible verses that were read to him).

20. Then Satan whispered to them that he might manifest unto them that which was hidden from them of their shame, and he said: Your Lord forbade you from this tree only lest ye should become angels or become of the immortals.
21. And he swore unto them (saying): Lo! I am a sincere adviser unto you.
22. Thus did he lead them on with guile. And when they tasted of the tree their shame was manifest to them and they began to hide (by heaping) on themselves some of the leaves of the Garden. And their Lord called them, (saying): Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you: Lo! Satan is an open enemy to you ?
23. They said: Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If thou forgive us not and have not mercy on us, surely we are of the lost!
143. And when Moses came to Our appointed tryst and his Lord had spoken unto him, he said: My Lord! Show me (Thy Self), that I may gaze upon Thee. He said: Thou wilt not see Me, but gaze upon the mountain! If it stand still in its place, then thou wilt see Me. And when his Lord revealed (His) glory to the mountain He sent it crashing down. And Moses fell down senseless. And when he woke he said: Glory unto Thee! I turn unto Thee repentant, and I am the first of (true) believers.
102. Such is Allah, your Lord. There is no God save Him, the Creator of all things, so worship Him. And He taketh care of all things.
103. Vision comprehendeth Him not, but He comprehendeth (all) vision. He is the Subtile, the Aware.

I know too that Dec 25th is a pagan holiday, and is not Jesus Christ's birth date. We celebrate the holiday, like a secular holiday, though in our home it is Christmas, for lack of a better term, all year round. I always give gifts to my wife and kids even though it is not a holiday or their birthday. I once gave the shirt and shoes I was wearing to a homeless man because he had none and they fit him.

I like to use, what is unique about that date Dec 25th, as an analogy. The earth, the home of mankind, is the furthest from the sun, which gives life to the earth. Just like when man was the furthest he could get from God, God sent his son in the likeness of sinful man.

So even the made up Alexandrian Roman Catholic Church has an analogy to it by using that date.

Even the day of Christ's resurrection very rarely lines up with the Alexandrian Roman Catholic Church day of Easter Sunday another pagan holiday. I like to remember his actual day of resurrection, even though we may go to church that day and have to listen to the Easter story or a preaching of some kind on that day.

Even though it was Paul who teaches the church, the physical bodies of the believers on Christ, was to gather on the first day of the week, again very seldom does that day line up with our current Sunday. I have yet to find a church that follows the Hebrew calendar over the current Gregorian one.

Mohammad may not have plagiarized unicorn but he did a few other Bible verses and events.
Col 2:16 ¶ Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]:
Romans 13:7 ¶ Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
He alone is the only one worth worshiping, he is the only one worthy of all honor, glory and raise forever and ever, Amen.
John 1:1 ¶ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
1John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
Rev 19:13 And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Rev 20:1 ¶ And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11 ¶ And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Rev 21:1 ¶ And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Even if we wanted to celebrate the Passover which included the 7 days Feast of Unleavened Bread, and a holy convocation at the end of it, we could not do it as God wanted it to be done.

You can't read 6th grade English and you are trying to teach me Hebrew? You came to verse three and replaced it with verse two, and in so doing you corrupted the words of God.
Ex 3:14 And God ('elohiym) said ('amar) unto Moses, (mosheh) I AM (hayah) THAT I AM: (hayah) and he said, ('amar) Thus shalt thou say ('amar) unto the children (ben) of Israel, (Yisra'el) I AM hath sent (shalach) me unto you.
Ex 6:2-3 And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD: And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

First, you're taking 1 Cor 5:7 right out of its context, Paul was not talking about the Law of Moses, for gentiles to keep the Jewish Passover. He's talking about having fellowship with false believers.
originally posted by: ChesterJohn
And lastly, you made hayah a name when it is not a name at all. Just because Moses asked God what he should say to them if they asked who sent him, does not make hayah a noun, a title or a name, it is a statement to Moses and then the LORD said to Moses tell them "I Am hath sent me unto you", shalach with no hayah in that last statement Moses was to say to Israel. In Old English just like today capitalizations were used to show importance not just to signify it was anoun because it was not a noun. Moses was never told to say unto them "I AM THAT I AM", that is a false teaching from whom ever it was who first said, "Moses was to say unto them I AM THAT I AM hath sent me unto you".
The King James Version of the Bible translates the Hebrew as "I Am that I Am" and uses it as a proper name for God

Keeping the Passover is part of the law of Moses and it was not found anywhere in 1Cor 5. You inferred it was when you highlighted "let us keep the feast", that is the feast of the Passover and the 7 days that follow. But Paul was not speaking of the feast of the Passover as you imply, but only about fellowship with those who claimed to be brothers in Christ and were still living in sin.
You miss-applied the whole context to keeping a feast and it had nothing to do with a feast but fellowship.
Some go to great lengths to attempt to sidestep this clear command to “keep the feast” by alleging that the expression is in some way figurative, since he uses other figurative language in this section of Scripture. But the reason he gives to “keep the Feast” is because “Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us.” Christ’s sacrifice was a literal event; so is keeping the festival that relates to His sacrifice. And a cardinal rule of interpreting the Bible is to prefer “the simple, obvious meaning” ( Edward W. Goodrick, Do It Yourself Hebrew and Greek, p. 12:1 ).
These feasts were kept by all the faithful until, under the influence of the Church of Rome, paganism entered and began to corrupt the once pure faith. Under the guise of “converting the pagans,” Victor, the Bishop of Rome, compromised with paganism, adopting pagan celebrations such as Christmas and Easter while setting aside the feasts of Yahuwah.
Polycrates, an early Christian martyr, learned from Polycarp, one of John’s disciples, to keep the feasts. When Victor sought to enforce the observance of Easter, Polycrates wrote him a letter in which he lists important Christian fathers who kept Passover, not Easter:
Therefore we keep the day undeviatingly, neither adding nor taking away, for in Asia [Minor] great luminaries sleep, and they will rise on the day of the coming of the Lord, when he shall come with glory from heaven and seek out all the saints. Such were [the apostle] Phillip. . . There is also John who lay on the Lord’s breast. . . . And there is also Polycarp at Smyrna, both bishop and martyr, and Thraseas, both bishop and martyr, from Eumenaea. . . . [Also] Sagaris,. . . .Papirius,. . . .and Melito. . . . all of these kept the fourteenth day of the Passover according to the gospel, never swerving, but following according to the rule of the faith. (Polycrates, Letter to Victor, Bishop of Rome, quoted in Eusebius’ Ecclesiastical History)
The adoption of pagan holidays was deplored by Tertullian who, around 230 AD, lamented that the Biblical feasts had been laid aside in favor of pagan festivals:
“By us who are strangers to Sabbaths, and new moons, and festivals, once acceptable to God, the Saturnalia, the feasts of January, the Brumalia, and Matronalia, are now frequented; gifts are carried to and fro, new year’s day presents are made with din, and sports and banquets are celebrated with uproar; oh, how much more faithful are the heathen to their religion, who take special care to adopt no solemnity from the Christians.” (Tertullian, De Idolatria, c. 14, Vol. I, p. 682.)
The replacement of biblical injunctions with customs from other religions is seldom questioned today.
Yet Jesus warned that it is possible to worship God in vain by following humanly devised traditions (Matthew 15:9). Long before, God inspired Moses to command the nation of Israel not to adopt the religious customs of other nations to worship God (Deuteronomy 12:29-32).
We would be well advised to reconsider the biblical instructions regarding Passover and the Holy Days God established. Paul tell us that these festivals offer “a shadow of things to come” in God’s plan of redemption (Colossians 2:16-17). Consider the sage advice of Will Rogers: “Never tear down a fence until you find out why it was built.”
