Ok, now I will speak only about bible and to the point and short.
thank you very much (Mazhar;42762)
TRINITYThe idea of trinity was started by Paul but it was given a final shape by Athanasius in about 325 A.D. Trinity is not mentioned in Bible.The Catholic Encyclopedia says, “The Trinity is the term employed to signify the central doctrine of Christian religion….in the unity of Godhead there are three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, these three persons being truly distinct one from another. Thus in the words of Athanasian Creed; the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Hoy Spirit is God, and yet there are not three but one God. The doctrine was not clearly grasped even by Athanasius. He says at another place that whatever he forced his understanding to mediate on the divinity of Jesus his toilsome and unavailing efforts recoil on themselves, that the more he wrote the less capable was he of expressing his thoughts. This confusion is explained away as “Mystery”, yet the Bible says “God is not the author of confusion” (1 Corinthians 14:33).
Why would God not be a mystery?...there are some things our minds are incapable of comprehending but that should not create confusion. As with your Qur'an I would not doubt that there are things you may find difficult to understand but I assume you have faith enough to take it at it's word and simply believe because you believe that Allah would not give unsound (for lack of a better word) doctrine...You believe Muhammad was a prophet who was divinely inspired by the angel Gabriel and because of this you most likely don't question the things he had said? Am I right in this assessment?Christ spoke of the Holy Spirit and sending Him to descend upon us after Christ was gone. Though He does not say that the Spirit and He are One with the Father, verse does indicate that the Holy Spirit is The Spirit of God...Father and Son are One, thus the Spirit must be One with The Father and the Son...Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. As you can see that until God breathed life (spirit) into man, man was simply a form....as soon as the Lord God breathed into him man became a living being. Job 33:4 The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life. Jhn 20:22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, " Receive the Holy Spirit . Jhn 16:6 "But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. Jhn 16:7 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. Jhn 16:8 "And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Jhn 16:9 "of sin, because they do not believe in Me; Jhn 16:10 "of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; Jhn 16:11 "of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. Jhn 16:12 "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. Jhn 16:13 "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. Jhn 16:14 "He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. Jhn 16:15 "All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you. Jesus prayed a prayer right before He was crucified:Jhn 17:20 "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will[fn5] believe in Me through their word; Jhn 17:21 "that they all may be one, as You, Father are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. Jhn 17:22 "And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: Jhn 17:23 "I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. Jhn 17:24 "Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. I believe God is a Triune being, and I believe as is said in Genesis "We will make them in Our image", that we are also triune beings made up of spirit, soul and body.Because I believe that when we are told we are made in Their image, that was exactly what was done. I will not spend too much time looking into the doctrine of Trinity, simply because of how mysterious it is. Besides, understanding the Trinity completely, is not a salvational issue, therefore I will wait until I enter the Heavens to understand this complex thing. Perhaps someone with a better knowledge of the Trinity can explain it. Unfortunately it isn't I....anything else?blessings
