Birdy, Could you answer some questions for me.
How can you believe in the pagan of the concept of the trinity, when you own book, the Bible and your own religon states otherwise, a number of times.
Can you explain these passages from the Bible to me. (you see, I'll use your own book to prove you wrong. Cause unlike you, I've read the Bible, the Torah and the Quran. Have you read them all, I some how doubt it). Some of the statements you've made are so incorrect, that you could not have possibly read the bible, I suspect your just going on heresay, and what you've heard.
Anyways....
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one." (Bible, Deuteronomy 6:4)
"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. (From the Bible, Mark 12:29)"
Hmmm, sounds awfully similar to this from the Quran.
Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"
Yet for some unknown, you go against your own bible, and choose to believe not in the oneness of God, despite this being rather clearly stipulated by both Moses and Jesus in your scriptures.
No...you choose to believe in the trinity. Trinitarian Christians often refer to trinity as the "Holy Trinity". A very powerful statement indeed for a pagainword that doesn't even exist, not even once, in the Bible!!
Isn't that rather strange. The very foundation of your religous beliefs...and it is not even mentioned ONCE..NOT ONCE, in the book that you claim to believe in.
However....lets investigate the trinity a little further shall we, and when exactly it became a part of Christian dogma.
The early Christians rejected Trinity. Early Christians had major problems and disagreements about who truly Jesus was and whether or not he got crucified or not.
I suggest you purchase the documentary film, "Banned from the Bible", at
www.historychannel.com and watch it for yourself. You may be surprised by what you see.
But fine...if you are to believe in the trinity, then can you please answer one question to me, I've asked this question to many, and have yet to recieve and plausible explanation.
Why, for thousands of years, did none of God's prophets teach his people about the Trinity? At the least, would Jesus not use his ability as the Great Teacher to make the Trinity clear to his followers? Would God inspire hundreds of pages of Scripture and yet not use any of this instruction to teach the Trinity if it were the "central doctrine" of faith?
Now perhaps I can point you to the many propecies IN THE BIBLE regarding Muhummed (pbuh) as the final prophet of God.
In Deuteronomy 33:2, we see Moses peace be upon him predicting that GOD Almighty will execute His Holy Judgement in the city of Paran by 10,000 of Believers:
"And he said, The LORD came from Si'-nai, and rose up from Se'-ir unto them; he shined forth from mount Pa'-ran [Mecca in Arabic], and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them. (From the King James Version Bible, Deuteronomy 33:2)"
The very same prophecy was also made by Prophet Enoch peace be upon him:
Enoch says...
"Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. (Jude 1:14-15)"
Now...if you know anything about the history of Islam, you would know that the city of Mecca (Paran) was liberated by Prophet Muhammad's 10,000-men army, from the rule of pagan idols, which had occupied the city for hundreds of years.
Now, since these prophecies were foretold in the Bible's Old Testament, I would like to openly challenge you, or any Jewish Rabbi or Christian Priest or Minister to answer the following question for me:
Where in the Bible do we see any Prophet executing the Judgement of GOD Almighty specifically in the city of Paran (Mecca, the city that Abraham took Hagar and Ishmael to)?
Now lets move on shall we....
Prophet Isaiah (pbuh) prophesied that two leaders whom he called "Chariot" would come -- one riding a donkey, and another riding a camel:
"And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed: (From the King James Version Bible, Isaiah 21:7)"
Who are the "couple of horsemen"? They are Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them.)
Jesus fulfilled the riding of the donkey prophecy: "And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, (John 12:14)"
The quote "as it is written" is referring to Isaiah 21:7. It is important to know that NO WHERE in the New Testament do we see Jesus riding any camel. NO WHERE in the New Testament do we see any fulfillment of any kind about the prophecy of riding the camel.
When we look at Muhammad peace be upon him, he rode the camel several times in his life time. The most popular event of him riding the camel is when he migrated from Mecca to Medina to escape the torture of the pagans.
