the concept of trinity

What is trinity?

Most of the christians believe that God is three gods merged into one God. This one God is called the Trinity.

The father
The son(jesus)
And the Holy spirit

All three parts of the Trinity are “coequal”, “co-eternal” and “of the same substance.” In other words, while the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost sustain distinct relationships to one another, they share the same divine nature.

Means 1+1+1=1 :s

Now lets see what is the concept of God in the BIBLE



"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord"
[The Bible, Deuteronomy 6:4]


"I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour."
[The Bible, Isaiah 43:11]


"I am Lord, and there is none else, there is no God besides me."
[The Bible, Isaiah 45:5]


"I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me."
[The Bible, Isaiah 46:9]

"You shalt have no other gods before me."

"You shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:"Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God."
[The Bible, Exodus 20:3-5]


What did jesus christ preach??

"And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent."

[John 17:3]

This is simply the shahada of that time THERE IS ONLY 1 GOD AND JESUS CHRIST IS HIS MESSENGER

Jesus Refuted even the Remotest Suggestion of his Divinity


"And behold, one came and said unto him, ‘Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?’

Jesus said “And Jesus said to him, ‘Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.”?

Mark 10:18

SO WHEN THE SCRIPTURE TEACHES THAT GOD IS ONE THEN WHY THE CHRISTIANS BELIEVE IN TRINITY??

The Trinitarian doctrine of the Gnostic, was adopted by the Church in 325 C.E. states the following [Joseph Campbell, "The Masks of God: Accidental Mythology", Penguin Books, New York, 1976, p.389]:

So it is clear that this doctrine was invented 3 centuries after jesus christ (peace be upon him) and THE WORD TRINITY IS WRITTEN NO WHERE IN THE BIBLE

Final Questions

Regarding “Trinity”, following are some logic demanding questions:

1. When Jesus – peace and blessings of Almighty Allah be upon him – died on the cross. Did he die as a “MAN” or did he die as a “GOD”?

2. To be “GOD” means freedom from finite forms and from helplessness, and to be “MAN” means the absence of divinity. Can you have the FINITE and INFINITE at the same time?

3. Is God three-in-one and one in three simultaneously or one at a time?

4. If God is one and three simultaneously, then none of the three could be the complete God. Granting that such was the case, then when Jesus – peace and blessings of Almighty Allah be upon him – was on earth, he wasn’t a complete God, nor was the “father in Heaven” a whole God. Doesn’t that contradict what Jesus – peace and blessings of Almighty Allah be upon him – always said about His God and our God in heaven, his Lord and our Lord? Does that also mean that there was no complete God then, between the claimed crucifixion and the claimed resurrection?

5. If God is one and three at a time, then who was the God in heaven when Jesus – peace and blessings of Almighty Allah be upon him – was on earth? Wouldn’t this contradict his many references to a God in Heaven that sent him?

6. If God is three and one at the same time, who was the God in Heaven within three days between the claimed crucifixion and the claimed resurrection?

7. Christians say that: “The Father (F) is God, the Son (S) is God, and the Holy Ghost (H) is God, but the Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Holy Ghost, and the Holy Ghost is not the Father”. In simple arithmetic and terms therefore, if F = G, S = G, and H = G, then it follows that F = S = H, while the second part of the statement suggests that F ¹ S ¹ H (meaning, “not equal”). Isn’t that a contradiction to the Christian dogma of Trinity in itself?

What islam says abt trinity

“Surely, disbelievers are those who said: ‘Allaah is the third of the three (in a Trinity).’ But there is no Ilaah (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilaah (God —Allaah). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall on the disbelievers among them”

[al-Maa'idah 5:73]
