What is 'Trinity'?
'Trinity' is the Christian belief whose Standard wordings of run as: “There is one person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Ghost. But the Godhead of the father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost is all one, the glory equal, the majesty co-eternal… The Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Ghost is God, and yet there are not three Gods but one God.”
This concept in its summary states that God became a man, and that, that man was Jesus (PBUH). Can the infinite and finite be one ???
From the standpoint of mathematics and the English language, when we say that this is a person, that is another person and that that one is yet another it is understood that there are three people involved and not just one. One plus one plus one will always be three and not one!
Secondly if the three are separately and distinctly God then there are three distinct gods; according to the language. And if there is only One God, then each Father, Son and Holy Ghost, on their own cannot be God.
Furthermore, from the statement of Trinity; ‘The Father (F) is God (G), the Son (S) is God and the Holy Ghost (H) is God, but the Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Holy Ghost and the Holy Ghost is not the Father.’ In simple Arithmetic terms, if F=G, S=G, & H=G, then it follows that F=S=H, while the second part suggests that F not equal to S not equal to H. Isn’t that a contradiction to the Christians dogma of Trinity in itself ??
From the standpoint of the human mind’s comprehension, when the preacher says, “In the Name of the Father..”, a certain mental image or idea emerges. When he continues, “..and the Son..”, the image or idea that one gets now is different. The same is the case when the words, “..and the Holy Ghost.”, are uttered by the preacher. No matter how hard you try, you can never super-impose the three distinct pictures as one.
Three person can never be one. One person can have three parts to his/her personality. Together those parts form the person. However, the concept of Trinity says it completely different. It is claimed that Jesus (PBUH) is not a part but 100% God on his own so also the Holy Ghost and the Father. But then it is concluded that they are not three but one God. The premise of the statement does not support its conclusion about there being One God. It makes the assertion about the Trinity impossible to prove logically and reduces it to just words which cannot have any meaning!
Ponder on the following questions:
1. Is God three-in-one and one-in-three simultaneously or one at a time?
2. If God is one & three simultaneously then none of three could be complete God. Granting that such was the case, then when Jesus (PBUH) was on earth he wasn’t a complete God, nor was ‘the Father in Heaven’ a complete God. Doesn’t that contradict what Jesus (PBUH) always said about his God & our God in the Heaven, his Lord & our Lord? Does that also mean that there was no complete God then, between the claimed crucifixion & the claimed resurrection?
3. If God is three-in-one at a time, then who was the God in the Heaven when Jesus (PBUH) was on the Earth? Wouldn’t this contradict his many references to a God in the Heavens that sent him?
4. If God is three-in-one at the same time, who was the God in the Heavens within three days between the claimed crucifixion and the claimed resurrection?
5. Doesn’t the concept of Trinity contradict to what Jesus (PBUH) said in Gospel of Mark, Chapter 12, Verse 29: “The Lord our God is One Lord.”
6. If belief in Trinity was such a necessary condition for being a Christian, why didn’t Jesus (PBUH) teach & emphasize it to the Christians during his time? Had Trinity been the spinal cord of Christianity, Jesus (PBUH) would have emphasized it on many occasions and would have taught & explained it in detail to the people!
7. How were followers of Jesus (PBUH) considered Christians without ever hearing the term Trinity?
8. Why is the term 'Trinity' not mentioned even once in the entire Bible?? — مع Celina Ferrer و 4 آخرين.
