THE CHRISTIAN ERROR OF THE TRINITY

The Qur'an specifically points to the positive beliefs and moral
characteristics of Christians. God has revealed that for Muslims,
Christians are "the people most affectionate to those who believe" and
"not arrogant." (Surat al-Ma'ida, 82) According toIslam, Christians
are not deniers,but are a People of the Book, together with the Jews.
In otherwords, they are faithful people who believe in God's earlier
revelations.
However, the Qur'an does point to one major error by Christians. That
is the error of the Trinity, the ascribing of divinity to Jesus.God
warns Christians in this regard in the Qur'an:
O People of the Book! Do not go to excess in your religion. Say
nothing but the truth about God. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was
only the Messenger ofGod and His Word, which He castinto Mary, and a
Spirit from Him.So believe in God and His Messengers. Do not say:
"Three."It is better that you stop. God is only One God. He is too
Glorious to have a son! Everything in the heavens and in Earth belongs
to Him. God suffices as a Guardian. (Surat an-Nisa', 171)
Indeed, when we look at the historical facts, it can be seen that the
Trinity is a myth which entered into Christianity at a later date.
Monotheism: The Essenceof Christianity
Christianity was originally born among the Jews living in Palestine.
All of those around and who believed in Jesus were Jews and lived
according to the laws of Moses. The most fundamental feature of
Judaism was monotheism, the belief in one God.
However, Christianity began to grow rather different after the
ascension of Jesus into the presence of God and with its spread from
the Jewish world into the pagan one. Monotheistic belief, the essence
of the law of Moses, underwent a great change and Christians began
regarding Jesus as divine.
The belief in the "Trinity" emerged at the end of this process. This
concept describes, for Christians, a three-way belief in God as
"Father, Son and Holy Ghost." The Trinity is one of the fundamental
conditions of faith for traditional Christians. The belief in the
Trinity regards our Almighty Lord from a superstitious perspective and
is a mistaken concept which ascribes divinity to Jesus, sent byGod to
mankind as a prophet. Despite harboring a great many inconsistencies
and being totallyincompatible with monotheism, it occupies a central
role in the Christians' corrupted system of beliefs. Someone who does
not believe in the Trinity, and therefore that Jesus is the son ofGod,
is not regarded as a real Christian by the supporters of traditional
Christianity.
