In this paper I attempt to present an argu­ment dis­put­ing and refut­ing the Chris­t­ian Belief in the Trin­i­ty of God. We believe this ill con­cept was insert­ed into Chris­t­ian belief by the dev­il at a time of absence of mind and a state of pow­er­less­ness on the part of true uni­tar­i­ans and sin­cere believ­ers in the One God. To this day, fol­low­ers of this belief are faith­ful to the evil that found­ed it and we are aware that there is lit­tle or no ben­e­fit in attempt­ing to argue them out of this line of thought. How­ev­er, we are like that who is describ­ing the sor­ry state of a lost and mis­guid­ed per­son to peo­ple so that oth­ers may take exam­ple and les­son from it. And Allah shall guide whom He choos­es to the right path.

The Chris­t­ian mis­sion­ar­ies have engaged in bit­ter polemics since the advent of Islam. One of their com­mon alle­ga­tions is that they claim that in…

Michael Serve­tus was born in Vil­la­neue­va in Spain in 1511. He was the son of the local judge. He lived at a time when there was unrest in the estab­lished Church, and in a peri­od when every­one was ques­tion­ing the nature of Chris­tian­i­ty. As he grew old­er and more informed, the young Serve­tus was appalled by the shed­ding of blood by the Chris­tians towards the Mus­lims and Jews.

Nabeel Qureshi died at the age of 34 years old in 2017 from a ​“rare and dead­ly form of stom­ach can­cer” on 16th of Sep­tem­ber 2017 with mixed reactions. 

One of the most pop­u­lar argu­ment often pro­posed by mis­sion­ar­ies as ​“evi­dence” that Luke was ​“inspired”, or at least some­one who we can blind­ly trust with­out sec­ond thoughts, is as fol­lows : he was an excel­lent his­to­ri­an who con­duct­ed a care­ful inves­ti­ga­tion dur­ing the course of com­pos­ing his books. 

Chris­tians might argue that nev­er­the­less we need lofty ideals to strive for, even if they are vir­tu­al­ly unat­tain­able. Mus­lims might reply that it is detri­men­tal for pub­lic moral­i­ty if unat­tain­able rules are pro­mot­ed which, of course, are con­stant­ly vio­lat­ed by every­body in sight, because that (Chris­t­ian) approach cre­ates a cli­mate of, and pro­motes, hypocrisy at a mas­sive scale.

Instead of writ­ing a full-scale biog­ra­phy of Jesus of Nazareth, I want to focus on some aspects of the life and teach­ing of Jesus of Nazareth that are com­mon­ly over­looked by most Chris­tians. Any attempt to recon­struct the his­tor­i­cal Jesus (as dis­tinct from the incar­nate deity of eccle­si­as­ti­cal faith) needs to take into account all the recov­er­able data about Jesus, much of which has been ignored by many Chris­tians because of its’ embar­rass­ment to Chris­t­ian ortho­doxy. Jesus’ report­ed say­ings in the Gospels are fre­quent­ly sub­ject­ed to tor­tu­ous exe­ge­sis by fun­da­men­tal­ist Chris­tians to make them fit lat­er church tra­di­tion. Para­dox­i­cal­ly, the data has been crit­i­cal­ly exam­ined by none oth­er than Chris­t­ian schol­ars themselves.

Chris­tian­i­ty is based on the mys­tery reli­gions of the ancient world. The doc­trines of the ​“Trin­i­ty” and ​“incar­na­tion” were bor­rowed from the pagans. In fact, the whole reli­gion was fab­ri­cat­ed after the depar­ture of Jesus. The leg­endary sto­ries of ​‘man-god’ sav­iors dying for the sins of their peo­ple (and ris­ing three days lat­er) were com­mon­ly prop­a­gat­ed. The Chris­tian­i­ty that we know today sim­ply pla­gia­rized the sto­ries and foist­ed them upon Jesus (P).

“Ver­sions” are sim­ply the trans­la­tions of the New Tes­ta­ment into oth­er lan­guages. The New Tes­ta­ment writ­ers orig­i­nal­ly wrote their books and epis­tles in the Greek lan­guage where­as the ver­sions are trans­la­tions of their writ­ings into oth­er lan­guages. Nat­u­ral­ly, non-Greek speak­ing Chris­tians want­ed the text of the New Tes­ta­ment in their own local lan­guages and so the New Tes­ta­ment began to be trans­lat­ed into oth­er lan­guages some­time in the mid to late sec­ond cen­tu­ry. An impor­tant point to remem­ber is that no mat­ter how many thou­sands of trans­la­tions exist, it remains that they are in a dif­fer­ent lan­guage from the orig­i­nal lan­guage (Greek) of the New Tes­ta­ment, thus their use and val­ue will be limited. 

Accord­ing to most Chris­tians, Jesus was God-incar­nate, ful­ly man and ful­ly God. Can the finite and the infi­nite be one ? ​“To be ful­ly God” means free­dom from finite forms and from help­less­ness, and to be ​“full man” means the absence of divin­i­ty. Chris­tians assert that Jesus claimed to be God when they quote him in John 14:9 : ​“He that has seen me has seen the Father”. Didn’t Jesus clear­ly say that peo­ple have nev­er seen God, as it says in John 5:37 : ​“And the father him­self which Has sent me, has borne wit­ness of me. You have nei­ther heard His voice at any time nor seen His shape”?

Some Chris­t­ian mis­sion­ar­ies have the inher­ent fan­ta­sy that Sura’ al-Fati­hah (the first Sura’ of the Qur’an) some­how sup­ports their false pagan doc­trine of the Trin­i­ty. They will first cite the whole ayaat and then twist this inter­pre­ta­tion to suit their false doc­trine. Let us now deal with this lat­est polemic in the fol­low­ing paragraphs.

The book The Sword of the Prophet writ­ten by Dr. Serge (a.k.a. Srd­ja) Trifkovic of Ser­bian extract, is sim­i­lar to many such post-Cold War era books (writ­ten by pseu­do-experts like Judith Miller & Co.) that are writ­ten to keep alive the per­ceived ​“threat” of Islam before our eyes, while guar­an­tee­ing them­selves prof­itable fees, con­sul­tan­cies, recur­rent appear­ances in TV and lucra­tive book con­tracts. To these bunch of big­ot­ed, eaves­drop­ping, lying and self-pro­mot­ing jour­nal­ists, in these days, espe­cial­ly after ⁹⁄₁₁, there is no bet­ter and eas­i­er way to draw atten­tion and sell books than to demean and dehu­man­ize Mus­lims and Islam. It does not take too much insight to find com­mon grounds that moti­vates these bigots.

The Chris­t­ian mis­sion­ar­ies and their allies have been call­ing for the destruc­tion of Islam open­ly ever since the advent of the Inter­net. A cur­so­ry glance at these fanat­i­cal and big­ot­ed web­sites will at once give the dil­li­gent read­er an idea of their geno­ci­dal ten­den­cies against the Mus­lim Ummah, unfair­ly equat­ing Islam with ter­ror­ism, and even denounc­ing Islam as equal to Nazism and hence Islam is not a ​“reli­gion”, accord­ing to their big­ot­ed lens­es. While their inten­tion is clear (i.e. the destruc­tion of Islam), some lib­er­al Chris­tians who have tak­en this author to task for the so-called ​“call” for the destruc­tion of Chris­tian­i­ty are bliss­ful­ly unaware of these devel­op­ments. Sad­ly too, some igno­rant lib­er­al Mus­lims from among the ummah are sid­ing with these pas­sive Chris­t­ian lib­er­als and are too caught unawares of this hid­den mis­sion­ary threat. Even more, there are groups who open­ly pan­der to the hid­den agen­das of the kufaar and open­ly side with them in their geno­ci­dal ambitions.

The Inter­faith Coali­tion of Nashville orga­nized this year’s inter­faith con­fer­ence in the Van­der­bilt Uni­ver­si­ty, Nashville, USA. Judaism was rep­re­sent­ed by Dr. Don­na Whit­ney, Chris­tian­i­ty by Dr. Tom Davis, Hin­duism by Dr. Howard J. Resnick (HD Goswa­mi), and Bud­dhism by Pro­fes­sor Win Myint. Dr. Habib Sid­diqui rep­re­sent­ed Islam. This is the tran­script of his speech on Islam. The con­fer­ence was opened by Dr. Jawaid Ahsan. Dr. Charles Hem­brick, Pro­fes­sor Emer­i­tus of Reli­gion at Van­der­bilt Uni­ver­si­ty, mod­er­at­ed the conference.
