How Can Christians Adhere to the Trinity?

Question

The teaching of the Prophet Jesus Peace be upon him, contradict the teaching of the Trinity, the Bible even after being tampered with still opposes and objects the Trinity, this is a sign from you One and True Creator that if only you were to look and think you would not be deluded from the truth, let us look at the teaching of Jesus, and the many verses in the Gospel:
In Matthew 19:16-17
“And behold, one came and said unto him, ‘Good master, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?” And he said unto him, “Why callest thou me good? (There is) none good but one (i.e.) God, but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.”
In the above verses we note this acknowledgment of his submissiveness (to Allah’s Will)
In Matthew 21:45-46
“And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parable, they perceived that he spoke of them. But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude because they took him for a Prophet.”
Here it is proved that all th

those who believed in Jesus during his lifetime did not believe in him being God or the Son of God or one in the doctrine of Trinity; but they believed in him as being a Prophet only. This is indeed one of the strongest points of evidence against those who believe in the divinity of Jesus (Incarnation of God) if only they pondered.
In Matthew 23:9
“And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father which is in the heaven.”
From this you will note that fatherhood and sonship is meant to be the relationship between the Lord and His servants: it is meant in a general sense and not specifically for Jesus.s

In Matthew 24:36
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of the heaven, but my Father only.”
This is a definite proof that the Final Hour is unknown to any but God, thus Jesus’ knowledge is imperfect like all the other men; God Alone is All Knowing, Omniscient.
In Matthew 26:39
“And he Jesus went a little farther, and fell on his face and prayed, saying, ‘O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as Thou wilt.”
We note here that the person speaking is unaware of God’s Will and realizes the fact that he is a servant of God. He (God) Alone can cause the change.

The word Trinity is not mentioned once in the Bible but let us look toward the Koran (This has shocked many Christians and many have accepted islam due to it)
"O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allâh aught but the truth. The Messiah 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), was (no more than) a Messenger of Allâh and His Word, ("Be!" - and he was) which He bestowed on Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (Rûh) created by Him; so believe in Allâh and His Messengers. Say not: "Three (trinity)!" Cease! (it is) better for you. For Allâh is (the only) One Ilâh (God), Glory be to Him (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allâh is All­Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs."
Also
" Surely, disbelievers are those who said: "Allâh is the third of the three (in a Trinity)." But there is no ilâh (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilâh (God -Allâh).

Answer 1

The word "Trinity" is not in the Greek New Testament because Trinity is a Latin word. Same thing with Disciple - disciple is not a Greek word, it is Latin.

And Matthew 19:16 helps the case for the Trinity. Jesus did not say "Do not call me good" he said, "Why do you call me good?" Jesus is wanting this guy to think what he just said. If only God is good, and this rich man called Jesus good, Jesus is wanting the man to know what he is really admitting.

Besides, at the crucifixion, which Muslims have perverted teachings concerning, the thief on the cross said, "Remember me when you come into YOUR kingdom" and Jesus told the guy that, because the guy realized that Jesus was who he said he was, Jesus has the authority to let whoever he wants into heaven. Jesus obviously has divine authority, plus if he can accept prayer and forgive sins, you know he is more than a mere prophet.

Answer 2

I have to be brief. It is a long and involved question and I am going to give it to you without quoting a lot of Bible verses.
No He did not actually say the word 'Trinity" nor did he ever say " I am God." but he gave us a lot to add to the other pointers in the Bible about the Trinity and himself.
It is a mystery, which is beyond human explanation, ie how God can be made up of three seperate identities. There are many things in religions, even yours, which are beyond human comprehension. Which is why God gave us the gift of faith.
In the first Chapter of the Bible it says, "...and the spirit of God was moving across the waters...." So we know that the spirit of God existed at the beginning.
There can be know doubt about The Father in heaven who is evident throughout the Bible.
Jesus said, of himself "....I came down from heaven...." So we know that he was there from the beginning too, especially as St Paul says, "...through Him (Jesus) all things were made..." and "....... He ( again Jesus) did not cling to His equality with God...." Jesus also said "....The Father and I are one...." Then on the occasion when he met his disciples before he ascended to heaven He had the power to breath the Holy Sprit into them.
In the new Testament letters, The Holy Spirit is referred to in the NT (twice I think) as the Spirit of Jesus. Which is why we can be sure that "the helper, advocate" that he had the authority to say that he would send was the Holy Spirit.
The fact that he said that his apostles/disciples should go and baptise "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit ", is just one verse to add to the many others which are the basis of our belief in the Trinity.
I think the verses I have mentioned also show (with others that I can give you if you like) The Divinity of Jesus the rest, as I have said is Faith.) I don't know what sort of proof you expect, religion is not science!

Answer 3

How Can Christians Adhere to the Trinity?

We do not adher to the TRINITY.

We BELIEVE in THE TRINITY.

IT is EASY.

The Jesus you refer to is NOT the same Jesus as the Christian Jesus!
~~~~~~~~~~`
Ours died on the cross and resurrected-Yours did NOT!

"Not Jesus, but a look alike, was substituted and crucified at the Cross." -The Unholy Quaran 4:157
THIS IS OBVIOULSY NOT THE SAME JESUS!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Look up Psalm 45, and Psalm 110. Both indicate THE GOD speaking to
"HIS OTHER".....also......The Trinity is indicated in 1 John 5:7 if you are using
a King James Bible (others have removed or altered same).

In the Old Testament see Isaiah 44:6 --- and His redeemer I am ---.
and Isaiah 45:11 --- And His maker --.

My favourite indicator is 1 Corinthians 15:28 ! At some point The Trinity will once
again unite because THEN there will be no need for The Trinity !

Water appears as a liquid, steam, and ice. All three are one.
A Clover leaf has three segments, it is but ONE clover.

In both situations above, three are one. Why can't THE GOD do the same?

Answer 4

Can you understand that God appears in multiple forms like, the Spirit of God, the Angel of God, the 3 beings that visited Abraham, and even in the burning bush? So why cant God be in the form of a human. He came in the form of a human, so he could suffer and die as a human. God can not sacrifice himself in his immortal state, cause he is ... immortal. He had to become human to full fill the lamb of God sacrifice that is talked about all through out the Tanakh. Truth comes in the form of 2 or 3 witnesses and that i why God is always in multiple forms.

As for the "Trinity" well it isn't in the bible because the catholic church made it up. But is that a reason to convert to Islam? Get real. God can be and is in more than 3 forms. If you want to call that the trinity, whatever. God is echad (united one).

Answer 5

the perception that the daddy is God, the Son is God and the Holy Spirit is God, is declared through Christendom to be a "secret!" might want to right here be a reason they label it a secret? Luke a million:36 states that Mary and Elizabeth are cousins, and that John is 6 months older than Jesus, making John and Jesus 2d cousins. Luke 3:23 says Jesus became about 30 years previous at the same time as he became baptized through John, and right here's the position the "secret" starts. The Trinity instructors declare that Jesus is God. This on the instantaneous makes John God's 2d cousin, and makes John 6 months older than God - and guy became right here on earth 4,000 years previously God became born. that's ridiculous, regardless of the indisputable fact that it receives even more desirable. once you study Luke 3:21, 22, John had the unspeakable privilege of baptizing his author, who became also his 2d cousin. regardless of the indisputable fact that the surprising problem is that John became 6 months previous previously his author became born. The Trinity instructors say that the Holy Spirit is likewise God. So, now, get this! at the same time as John is status there interior the water, he sees God come down and sit on right of his own head. And, it truly is not all - he receives a superb seem at God. God is now both a chook sitting on right of what sounds like a guy (or is it any incorrect way round?) Then, he discovers this God-chook-guy is likewise a ventriloquist - at the same time as he stands there in utter disbelief, God tells a planned misinform the individuals who're gazing. of route he would not opt for the individuals to attraction to close that he's really God, so he throws his voice to make it appear as if someone in Heaven is talking and declaring "that's my loved Son in whom i'm nicely thrilled." that's magnificent!! No ask your self they call it a secret. i'm a Christian, sure, yet i might want to under no circumstances connect something which couldn't basically ridiculous yet isn't scriptural!

Answer 6

The Trinity is a complex issue, which Christians of many centuries have tried to explain and understand. However, even the most well-studied Bible scholars will concede that some of this must be accepted on faith.

With the passages you quoted, your interpretation is one based on your faith. For Christians, there is a different interpretation altogether based on their faith.

For example, it could be that the people at the time simply did not recognize Jesus' deity, leading them to think of him as a prophet only. Jesus' statement in the first quote is simply challenging the man's beliefs -- if you think I am only a man, why call me good?

Christians could point out John 8:57-59, "The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was born, I am. They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple."

Trying to resolve the differing interpretations is impossible, because they start with different assumptions, and all require some element of faith. It is usually our beliefs that shape our perceptions, and not vice versa.

Answer 7

The Koran has too much (a lot of) words in (these things) parenthesis. It's too hard to read.

Jesus is the son of God. Koran does not disprove this to me.

Yes, Jesus did submit to God's will.
I suppose that if the sin of the world was weighing on you and you had to take it all to the cross, that you would not have asked that it could pass from you? Could you have said "Not my will, but thine"?

I don't believe that I could have.

Answer 8

This is an American Muslim asking about the Trinity isn't it?

I don't believe in the Trinity either but I do believe that Jesus Christ was the son of God, the firstborn of all creation. and through Jesus, God created the rest.
