:: Trinity And The Divinity Of Christ ::
:: TRINITY AND THE DIVINITY OF CHRIST ::
"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father,
the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one.";
Most Christians believe that: “The three persons are co-equal and co-eternal: all alike are uncreated and omnipotenet”. (The Catholic encyclopedia)
::Facts about the trinity::
This text does not appear in the most ancient greek manuscripts.
It has been omitted from Revised Standard Version, New American Standard Bible, New English Bible, Phillips Modern English Bible.
The Scholars of Christianity say this verse was interpolated into the text around late 4th century.
Dr. C.I. Schofield and 32 other Scholars backed assisted by a committee of representatives of fifty co-operative denominations came to the conclusion about this verse “It is generally agreed that this verse has no manuscript authority and has been inserted”
Another commentary of the Bible reads:
"The famous interpolation after "three witnesses" is not printed even in RSV, and rightly. It cites the heavenly testimony of the Father, the logos, and the Holy Spirit, but is never used in the early trinitarian controversies. No respectable Greek MS contains it. Appearing first in a late 4th-cent. Latin text, it entered the Vulgate and finally the NT of Erasmus." (Peakes commentary of the Bible)
The historian Edward Gibbon coined it as a "Pious Fraud" in his famous history book `Decline and Fall of Roman Empire'.
The Qur’an says
يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ لاَ تَغْلُواْ فِي دِينِكُمْ
O people of the Scripture, do not go to extremes in your religion
إِنَّمَا الْمَسِيحُ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولُ اللّهِ إِلاَّ الْحَقِّ وَلاَ تَقُولُواْ عَلَى اللّهِ
وَكَلِمَتُهُ أَلْقَاهَا إِلَى مَرْيَمَ وَرُوحٌ مِّنْهُ
and don’t say anything about God but the truth. Indeed the Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary is a Messenger of God And His word given to Mary and a spirit from Him
إِنَّمَا اللّهُ إِلَـهٌ وَاحِدٌ انتَهُواْ خَيْراً لَّكُمْ وَلاَ تَقُولُواْ ثَلاَثَةٌ فَآمِنُواْ بِاللّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ
So believe in Allah and His Messenger and don’t say three Desist this will be better for you Verily Allah is one God
سُبْحَانَهُ أَن يَكُونَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَات وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ وَكَفَى بِاللّهِ وَكِيلاً
Far is it removed from His transcendent majesty that he should have a son . His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth . And Allah is sufficient as Defender. (Qur’an 4:171)
The Qur’an also says
They do blaspheme who say: "Allah is Christ the son of Mary." But said Christ: "O children of Israel! Worship Allah my Lord and your Lord." Whoever joins other gods with Allah Allah will forbid him the garden and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrong-doers be no one to help. 5:72.
لَّقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِينَ قَالُواْ إِنَّ اللّهَ ثَالِثُ ثَلاَثَةٍ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَـهٍ إِلاَّ إِلَـهٌ وَاحِدٌ وَإِن لَّمْ
يَنتَهُواْ عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ لَيَمَسَّنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنْهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
They surely disbelieve who say : Lo! Allah is the third of three ; when there is no God save the One God . If they desist not from so saying a painful doom will fall on those of them who disbelieve .
