Muslims have a holy covenant through the first son of Abraham so why would they need to believe in a Trinity ?

Question

Muslims and Jews both have a covenant and both worship the One God..... the Lord of Abraham.

The Trinity is not in anyway connected to the Abrahamic religion.

Answer 1

Muslims, Jews, everyone needs to accept Jesus, the Christ, the Messiah, as their Lord and Savior.

The Qur'an says in chapter 3 verse 3 that the "Law (of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus)" are true and sent by God.

John 14:6 (NKJV)
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

John 4:25 - 26 (NKJV)
The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will tell us all things.”
Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.”

Jesus is NOT a Prophet. Jesus is the Messiah, the one who came to save all of us. If you think that praying 5 times a day, or doing a sufficient amount of good deeds, or sprinkling some eye of newt will save you - wrong! Praying and doing good deeds should be done out of love for Jesus, not out of laws and obligations. Leave the newts with their eyes. The only way to salvation is Christ.

The word "Trinity" is used to describe the unity and the oneness of God (Jehova, Yahweh), Jesus (Christ, Emmanuel, Messiah), and the Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost).

BTW, Emmanuel, another name by which Jesus is known (and was foretold in OT prophecies), means "God with us."

Answer 2

You don't believe in the God of Abraham?

So, I guess you're not a Christian then. Or... Have you torn those pages out of your bible?

I never liked the Abraham stories, anyway, especially the one about Abraham taking his son up the mountain, willing to sacrifice him because that's what god told him to do. And God stopping him only at the last moment.

If my husband ever did that with one of MY sons, I don't care WHO told him to do it, I'd have a restraining order on him so fast his head would spin.

Or that part about Abraham having the two sons, one by his wife, and one by his mistress. Ishmael and Isaiah, I think? Adultery. Bad, bad.

BTW, Abraham is generally recognized as the Father of all three religions. It's the one person the Muslims, Jews, and Christians agree on from the beginning.

Answer 3

You mistakenly credit score Ishmael with a lot more than is his due, at the same time Isaac stays the son of the promise. You credit score Mohammed with the paintings of Jesus Christ, at the same time you mistake a restricted and transitority association for the brand new covenant of Jesus Christ, and the common Church which he in my view based, to guide all to salvation. Deuternonomy 18 speaks of Jesus, now not Mohammed. Both Moses and Elijah looked as if it would testify to the legitimacy of Christ. They under no circumstances testified, nor will they ever, for Mohammed.

Answer 4

first son, Yes. but not legal heir.
that position is held by Isaac.
Just go into any court dealing with a man's assets and see who the judge gives them to.
Certainly not the result of a 'liason' but to the LEGAL HEIR.
ISHMAEL, the first son, out of HAGAR, was banished from the camp by Abraham and Sarah.
God did promise that he would start a nation, but it never will be the LEGAL NATION.
That was by ISAAC.
And god will never do anything ILLEGALLY.

Apart from that, I agree with the basic statement, the Trinity is not part of God's arrangement and any organisation that supports IT does not have God's support.

Answer 5

God gave no covenant to Ishmael. He was cast out of Abraham's house. Abraham's covenant went to Isaac instead.

Answer 6

cuz those words are commanded for baptism to receive the spirit and to be born again!! Matt 28:19

Answer 7

And the next step is to realize you don't need any belief in old superstitions at all. There really are no gods.

Answer 8

What you need is Jesus Christ....without him you have no sacrifice for your sin.
