Verses 75-77JESUS CHRIST AND MONOTHEISM

VERSE NO. 73

      Here once again the TRINITY is attacked as being Polytheism and Blasphemy, and all against God's will and apostle's teachings; insisting that there is no god except the only one God, Who is named in the Glorious Quran, Allah. ``They blasphemed who said:- `Allah is the third of the three.' While there is no God except Allah the only one.''

      The Christian Doctorine, forged after Christ, that in the one substance of the Godhead, there are three persons equal in status, as Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, was never preached, either by Jesus Christ himself or by the apostles who followed him. TRINITY was not known to the primal Christians. Even in the New testament, theTRINITY is not defined anywhere in its external accepted form, and the three persons of Godhead are grouped together in the baptismal injunction of Matthew 13:14. The doctorine of TRINITY did not form part of any of the apostle's preaching as it is reported in the New Testament. In its final form, TRINITY, is the product of many factors, some of which are philosophical.

      Therefore the verse ends in threatening those Christians who heard the reasoning of our prophet, but did not use their common sense to refrain saying God is the third of the three:-

      ``If they refrain not from what they say, a painful punishment will afflict those of them who blasphemed.''

      There is an interesting story to reveal the weak points of the Doctorine of Trinity written in the famous ALMONAR commentary as follows:-

      ``Three men converted to Christians through a priest who first of all taught them the Doctrine of Trinity, and emphasized its importance in Christianity as a religious tenet.''

      Then it happened so that some priests of higher rank paid a visit to that church to see how things were going on. The priest who had taught the three converts put them under a test, to make a show to the high priests, of his own skill in teachings, and of the three converts in apprehension and belief.

      So in answer to what the Trinity is? The first convert siad:- ``My dear priest; according to what you taught me, there are three Godheads. One lives in the heavens. The second one has come out of Mary's womb in the earth, and the third one appeared in the shape of pigeon to the second God when he was 30 years old.''

      The priest became furious of the first convert's assertion, and called forth the second one to answer that. He said:-

      ``You taught me that there were three separate Gods. One of them was killed on the cross, and now we have two gods! The priest ashamed of such answers, called the third disciple and asked him what the Trinity is?''

      He said:-

      ``Dear teacher of Gospel! Whatever you taught, I have learnt by heart; You said:- `The only one god is three gods; one of them was crucified and slain on the cross to atone for our sins. Therefore all of the three gods must have been slain, for any of them being the three, and so at this moment we have no god at all!

      Will they not turn to Allah and ask His forgiveness, when Allah is the Compassionate Forgiver?''
