Why Muslims Don't Believe in Concept of Trinity

Bottom line is true Christianity is very similar to true Islam. Islam has been misinterpreted by those who commit evil on earth and the Bible has been altered too. But fundamentally if we look at both in pure forms, they preach the same message.

No, no, no. Absolutely not. Just some of the many ways Islam and Christianity differ are pointed out at 09/12/2014 09:10, just this morning. These additional ways have nothing to do with the trinity and everything to do with how Islam treats women and non-believers.

I would turn to atheism before I would adopt Islamic beliefs on women and non-believers. The trinity is low priority for me. Other Christian beliefs make sense to me.

You're changing the subject here, when you keep insisting that Christianity and Islam are fundamentally similar. Fair warning: if you persist in changing the subject this way, I will get increasingly specific in my responses. You want the Quran's invisible pillars holding up the sky? I'll give them to you. You want a Muslim man beating/tapping his wife to discipline her? You'll get this. I'll keep responding to this subject you raised, by pointing out additional differences between Islam and Christianity.

Thank goodness it's not 100% the word of God!!!

I'm not stuck with defending God's 100% word in the Quran, about men beating their wives, or invisible pillars holding up the sky.

Are you trying to shift and change the subject? We are discussing Trinity.

Actually, that's not at all what you're trying to do. You've posted some information on why Muslims don't believe in trinity. That's good and well, no one argued that they do, or that they should. That Muslims don't believe in trinity is not a matter of discussion or disagreement. You could have just posted "Muslims don't believe in trinity" and left it at that.

But that's not what you're doing. You are arguing that "Muslims don't believe in trinity and you shouldn't either, because trinity is a manmade concept, and you should believe in Islam instead - just like that really really smart guy I referenced."

This discussion is not about trinity. It's about your cause that no one should believe in it.

First of all, I'm giving you a fat dose of your own medicine. How many days and how many pages did you and your islamophobe posse devote to presenting Islam as a barbaric religion? Now you object to me exposing a few critical facts about your faith.

Most importantly, though, look at the bigger picture. Muslims are in fact very much like Christians in faith IF Christians rely on the original manuscripts for their belief system. It was a beautiful belief system, very similar to ours.

this in a nutshell is why i think Islam is a backward religion. Why would you think "manuscripts" that were written so long ago, that were relevant for that society, would still make perfect sense for living a good life in today's world? You are living in a backward frame of mind. You said it yourself with your post.

Thanks God we don't live the way they did when Jesus was around. I don't throw the baby out with the bath water, ha ha -- I can see why all of his teachings made sense when he was alive and I also can teel which ones he wouldnt' have been bothering with if he were alive now.

You changed the topic. You said the Bible not being 100% God's word is "sad," which is a change if topic. I explained why I don't think it's "sad" in the least, using some examples from a scripture, the Quran, that does claim to be 100% God's word. What's "sad" is how you hate when people argue back at you.

Not hating at all. Please keep arguing. We were talking about trinity. You made reference to men beating wives referred to in the Quran. That belongs in another thread, not here. It's a new and different subject. This thread is about trinity.

So you say I can argue, but you say I'm not allowed to use examples for my arguments? That makes no sense.

Who elected you thread dictator? You start a thread about how Muslims don't believe in the Trinity, then you switch the topic to how the only valid scriptures are ones that claim to be 100% God's word, I.e., your scripture as spoken by God in Arabic 1300 years ago. Now you're back telling people they are changing the subject if they respond to your change of subject? That's nuts.

A thread on why Muslims don't believe in Trinity must explain WHY Muslims don't believe in Trinity, no? Muslims must believe in the truth of three great faiths: judaism, christianity, and islam. Thus, the word of the Torah, Injeel, and Quran is sacred to us. Trinity is not in the Torah. Its not in the Quran. Its in the Bible only. This makes unknowing people think Christians and Muslims are in opposing camps and it makes Christians think Muslims are wrong in their belief. Gives rise to an us against them feeling. But the true injeel is in line with those original manuscripts. So this is why we reject trinity.

Trinity isn't in the Torah either yet that doesn't make Jews Muslims. You are weirdly obsessed with Trinity as the only difference between Christianity and Islam, and that's simply not the case. You can reject trinity AND Islam both, ever thought of that?

Actually, what you really want to say is the "true injeel is exactly like the Quran, we are the only ones who got it right!"

No one knows which manuscripts are original. It's completely possible they are ALL manmade, down to the last page.

So where did I say Christians ARE Muslims? Just as the true Christians that only followed the original manuscripts were not Muslims, Jews are also not Muslims. I said they are remarkably similar. The general message from God was the same in all three faiths.

No one knows what is man made? If you go the oldest living manuscripts there is belief that it is authentic and the words of God himself through Jesus. Doesn't that hold greater validity to Christians than add ons by others later??

And likewise do not pretend all those pages and pages of diatribes about how barbaric Islam is was simply for public education.
It doesn't feel good when people bash your religion, does it? So do not use a broad brush to paint my entire religion as barbaric.

OP here. I think I got my point across. No need to belabor it anymore.

I am all for discussion. But don't bash people's entire religion!

Belief is all you got. Not evidence. Believe in whatever you wish. But when it comes to evidence, you have no idea which manuscripts are original, only which manuscripts are older. Age does not guarantee authenticity.

For kicks, I think you should ask Christians what they think the general message of their faith is, so you don't make it up for them.

Told you already. I don't have a religion.

Yes they are.
The Prophet Muhammad said, "No baby is born but upon Fitra (as a Muslim). It is his parents who make him a Jew or a Christian or a Polytheist."
Islam is the religion of all Prophets, Adam to Muhammad. Children are not born out of any sin, original, inherited or derived. They are born on the religion of their nature, i.e., Islam."

People just need to discover their way back.... "I'm mmmmmmm blocking out the haters"

Keep telling yourself you got your point across. You didn't. Nobody thinks your pet scholar is the last word on the Trinity. Nobody thinks that Islam and Christianity are almost the same apart from the Trinity. You've been rebutted several times now.

Please point to where on this thread somebody said Islam is barbaric. You, however, just called the bible "sad" and you called Christian seminarians "lacking in fortitude" for not converting to Islam.

Either you're deluded, or you're lying.

All righty then! You keep insisting that Christianity and Islam are identical, despite endless pages on your own threads where posters disproved your claims that Christianity allows polygamy and concubines, and disproved your claim that Christianity requires women to veil in public. You can't possibly claim that Islamic rules about non-believers are anything like the Christian "love your enemy."

Still think these religions are the same?

Then what about the Quranic verse that allows a man to beat his wife. Please explain how that's "remarkable similar" to Christianity. Thanks!

So now you want to engage me in a discussion of how experts can tell the authenticity and discuss their dating techniques?
