Is the Trinity an false doctrine?

Question

"In the 55th verse of Surah Al 'Imran, we learn that Allah will place the people who follow 'Isa (as) above those who disbelieve until the Day of Rising. It is an historical fact that, 2000 years ago, 'Isa's (as) disciples had no political power. Christians who lived between that period and our own have believed a number of false doctrines, the chief of which is the doctrine of the Trinity. Therefore, as is evident, they will not be able to be referred to as followers of 'Isa (as), because, as it says in several places in the Qur'an, those who believe in the Trinity have slipped into denial. In such a case, in the time before the Hour, the true followers of 'Isa (as) will overcome the deniers and become the manifestation of the divine promise contained in Surah Al 'Imran. Surely, this blessed group will be made known when 'Isa (as) returns again to earth."

I would like to read the Quran but I don`t know where to buy it or if it is a true online Quran for free.

By the way this concerns me, what if I have been wrong all this years? (now 17)... but still I will believe in God and I will study more.

and: I don`t want any stupid comments like: "the hole religion this is fake" or something like that... please I want an calm atmosphere.

OK I am an orthodox to clear this up, and NewCatholic, I want to learn more about all religions, I am not that person who says: I don`t wish to understand, and I am not hard on the head either.

so I do gasp the Trinity concept: God is the father, Jesus is the son and the Holly spirit is the substance of God.

honourableone ok I make good deeds cause I want to not cause I am afraid if I won`t I will go to hell.

Answer 1

Remember that we're talking picture language here.

"The Trinity" is an attempt to put into a simple word-picture the wonderful complexity of God, whose nature and being is far beyond the capacity of our human language to express. At different times we might experience God as creator, or as brother, or as the mysterious power within ourselves - as at different times we experience water as solid, liquid or gas: whether it is ice or water or steam, though, it's all still water underneath.

"The Trinity" is not a mainstream biblical concept because it only came into being as a means of expressing faith after a great deal of thought and meditation during the early Christian era. Like all word-pictures, it was intended to help our understanding on a simple level of a much more complex reality.

(This is not a reason for discounting it: remember that it took a long time to understand that slavery was contrary to a deeper understanding of scripture than was at first apparent from a casual reading.)

If you read the opening verses of Genesis and the opening verses of St John's Gospel side by side, you may see two attempts to express the belief that a God who was powerful enough to create the world and all that is in it still cares for his creation sufficiently to come and live here himself, and be subject to the limitations of human living and dying. If you read on through the Acts of the Apostles, you may see how they believed God the Holy Spirit enabled them to fulfil their potential as ambassadors for Christ.

Answer 2

I am not Islamic, but I still do not believe in the doctrine of the trinity. Just because a doctrine has been around for a long time, does not mean its correct.

The bible teaches Jesus created the heavens and the Earth. Jesus said before Abraham was I am. This is the word God used when Moses asked him, who he was. So the point is Jesus is definetly God manifested in the flesh but his pre-existant form was what people call God the Father. But the bible says the fullness of the Godhead bodily dwells in Jesus. So this means God and Jesus are one and the same. I understand the holy spirit to be the power of God. So these supposedly 3 seperate parts are not really seperate at all but one.
To believe in the trinity means they're 3 seperate distinct parts of God, but yet they're all the same God. The trinity really points to 3 Gods rather than one, when the bible explicitally states there is one God. If God the father, lacks the power of the holy spirit, then he is not totally God.

The reason for so much confusion, is the enemy wants people confused about the indentity of Jesus.

Answer 3

Your question is moot, since it appears you have already made up your mind.
The Bible offers argument to whatever basis and interpretation you use from the Qur'an. Matthew 28:19: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" , and also 1John 5:7–8: "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father (God, who created everything), the Word (Jesus, who came to earth to spread God's message to the masses), and the Holy Ghost (which is present in all of us) : and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one."
These are only two of the many references that the Bible makes to the Trinity. To use the Qur'an as a basis to argue the validity of christian theology is flawed reasoning. It is like using apples to disprove the existance of oranges.

Answer 4

Call the Oneness of God what you will. In the OT we Read that God is One. In the NT we ate still taught this but while so doing the Father is called God. Jesus the Son is called God, as will as the Holy Spirit. All three are called God. It is clear that these three are not one person, yet the Bible is clear there is One God. Remember as I explain that God is all aspects is an infinite Being..

The dimension of space are height, width and breadth. Each of these dimensions is infinite and by that definition each contains all space. Yet these dimension make up one space.

God is like that each is God all the God that can be because Each is infinite yet these Three are the One true God... Jim

Answer 5

I would recommend you to buy at least two Qurans if you need the translations. The english language or any other language would not translate the exact arabic words of the Holy Quran, so cross-referrencing with another or others would show you a more clearer picture.

P.s- with alot of prejudice and discrimination going on at this very time, the internet is a scary place, so finding a reliable website that DOESNT take advantage of those who dont know what the Quran says, will take you quite abit of time. So go to an Islamic bookstore or something and you'll find loads.

Peace and blessings. :)

Answer 6

i am apostolic pentecostal and alot of people call us Jesus only. because we baptize and well, do everything in the name of Jesus. as the bible commands. i do not believe in the "trinity" which was a doctrine made up by the catholics. go to the BIBLE the written word of God. what better place to start? i will only list the bible verse and explain as to not be too lengthy. matt 28: 19 does say the name of the father son and holy spirit. they are titles not "names". who is the father? Jesus. John 5:43, who is the son? Jesus. John 20:31, who is the holy ghost? Jesus. John14:26. Jesus IS the father son and holy ghost. john 14:10-11, John 10:30, jOHN 14:8-11, jOHN 14:15-20, jOHN 14:25-27, II corinthians 5:19, deuteronomy 6:4 (one of my favorites) HEar o Israel the Lord our God is one Lord, and Isaiah 9:6. PLEASE take the time to read these scriptures for yourself. pray to God and he will show you the way you need to go, he hears each and every prayer you send up to him. hope you find what you are searching for.

Answer 7

Yes, made clear through correct study of Gods word once the blinkers have been removed of course, what you have to remember though is in a world that is controlled by satan the majority will seldom be correct; (1 John 5:19) “We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one.” (Matthew 7:13-14) “Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.” (2 Corinthians 4:3, 4) “If, now, the good news we declare is in fact veiled, it is veiled among those who are perishing, among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through.”

Answer 8

Short and to the point:

Yes the trinity is a false doctrine, because it has no Biblical foundation what so ever. Never does the word Trinity appear once in the Bible, and the Trinity would need the backing up of three "individuals" to be true.

But there are only 2, God and Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not a person its just that many people get that confused because they personificate it several times in the Bible

Answer 9

I guess I'm what "they" call a non-trinitarian Christian. I look to Jesus Christ for my salvation, but I believe that He is a separate entity from His Father, to whom I pray.

My feelings on this comes from the Gospel of John- chapter 17. Jesus is praying in the Garden of Gethsemane.... Who is He praying to, if not another Being?

There are a number of other passages in the bible that illustrate this idea-

Jesus at one point, says that He comes to do the will if His Father who is in heaven... At that time, Jesus was definitely not in heaven.

When Jesus went to His cousin, John, to be baptized, He was in the water, His Father was in heaven, and the Holy Ghost appeared traveling between the two.


I know that Trinitarians will disagree and have their own interpretation, but I guess that's the beauty of this experience- we get the opportunity to make our own choices, to believe as we each see fit, and to learn how to get along in spite of those differences.

Answer 10

You are going to believe the account of one man from the Quran which is hundreds of years after Jesus than Jesus himself fulfilled prophecy about Christ from thousands of years of writings from prophet of old and the followers of Christ and the multitude of people who witnessed Christ and even secular history of that day has recordings about Jesus Christ. Stop being deceived by the false teachings of Islam Christ is the only way.
