WHY do you insist on changing the subject of threads?
Part 1, is saying that Trinity can be explained only to the learned capable persons.
Part 2, is proving from the bibe NT that bible and Jesus believed in One God.
Part 3, Padre Zakariyah is accusing the Muslims of not listening to him. That is not the good way. Even before he started explaining Trinity, he is accusing that Muslims close their ears when lecture is being given on Trinity. Zakariya has used the Quran to prove Trinity. That was not fair.
We from Quran, understand many things about Jesus and bible and what Jesus said. We do not believe that God had sex with Mary. Not at all.
The priest has given example of some pagans who believed in some kind of Trinity. That goes against his arguments. The Priest also says that father and son is not literal. It is only metaphorical. So the son and father is all symbolic. We Muslims do not mind if it is only symbolic.
In part 1 & 2, The priest has spent a lot of time in proving that christians believe in One God only. That is for some good reason. It was better if the christians had stopped at that. But with One God, they have the Trinity or a triune God. There is a father and a son and a holy spirit. Priest had given an example of a family where there is a father, the creator of family etc. But that example does not fit because that is procreation by mating.
Altogether, it was a funny mixture of ideas. There was not much stress on the Trinity which is the controversial issue. We Muslims understand God to be spiritual. He does not need another Spirit. I feel that Zakariya has admitted that Jesus is not the real (literal) son of God. So there is no problem. All is well. Thanks.
Another thing. In mathew ch.28, if Jesus said to disciples “Go and preach (baptise) in the name of Father, the son andholy ghost…” it does not mean that the son and holy ghost are gods. First of all, this statement of Jesus was in contradiction to all his earlier teachings, that was to preach to the Jews only. Anyhow, if he said it , well and good. It does not make him a god.
This Trinity is such a serious matter that it is resting on the single letter “s”. Can you believe it? The matter about Trinity is being proved by a single letter “s”. They say that Jesus said “Go and preach in the name of father…”, He did not say in the names of father and son… What a strong ground for Trinity.
We Muslims believe in the father (The One God) and Jesus (The prophet) and holy spirit (The arch angel Gabriel). We believe in all three. Yet we do not consider Jesus as God and we do not consider holy spirit as a god. They are all creatures created by God. So they cannot be a god. Thanks but you will be tired after reading my lecture.
I listened to the three videos. Thanks for presenting. Thanks to Eden.
