Riaz, Qur'an 3:45, 46 & 47 are NOT "separate incidents" but a bunch of ERRORS!!

I said referring to the angels as 'he' in Qur'an 3:45-47 is an obvious error, but you exposed your startling ignorance by lying that the three verses are " THREE SEPERATE INCIDENTS…" Let us see:

Qur'an 3:

45. "Behold! the angels said: O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah."

46. "He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. And he shall be (of the company) of the righteous."

47. She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me? " He said: "Even so: Allah…."

Yous said:

"THESE ARE THREE SEPERATE INCIDENTS - THEY DO NOT CORRELATE. ... "

I say:

Can't you see that none of the verses is complete on its own and that they are necessarily a bunch? Don't you know basic skill of communication? Are you saying that the ALL KNOWING God joint unrelated and incomplete sentences together? Can't you see that verse 46 is clearly the continuation of verse 45 and verse 47 the continuation of verse 46. Without the preceding verse 45, how can verse 46 be sensible by saying:

"He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. And he shall be (of the company) of the righteous."? Who is the verse talking about?

And without the preceding verse 46, how can verse 47 be meaningful by saying:

"She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me? " He said: "Even so: Allah…." Who is she?

So, by stating that "THESE ARE THREE SEPERATE INCIDENTS - THEY DO NOT CORRELATE. ..., " you have exposed your shoddiness and startling ignorance of the Qur'an and Arabic language. You better swallow your pride and learn Arabic, Islamic theology and grammar from dhimmi no more.
