The Concept of the Christian Trinity - Former Preacher Yusuf Estes Explains

[Kurio71]

What do Muslims care about the Trinity? They're Muslims!

[fshameel1]

nice..

[tismeblack69]

may Allah bless sheikh Yusuf Estes

[majinish]

Trinity isn't biblical neither is the concept of trinity

[sana16ful]

VERY VERY INFORMATIVE

[grandmasterqz]

Deep

[XBAGREMX]

ALLAH BLESS YOU BROTHERS...........

[achres]

Read the QURAN, Chapter 4:171, 5:72, 5:116 , it clearly says "there is only One good" and "not three" .. May Allah guide us to the right path.

[mhq1989]

islam is for every one not only for arab

even there are arabs not muslim and may non arab muslim is good than arab them self

plz think how god become 3 why god have son ? why there is only one son why god dont have many son

we muslim belive that Jesus is only a prophet and a messenger of god not a god

and belive that mary was a virgin

I just asked use your mind

from saudi arabia

[CREOLETHEFIST]

Are we now convinced that Islam is not just for the arabs. This is a faith for all..all of those who seek the truth. Useing a sence of reasoning. Thats the reason why the creator says dont worship idoles and believe in fariytales cause it messes with your sence of resoning. You seen how when the church fell the day of the renaissance came int exsenstance. Free the mind of ilogical thinking. Cant know science believing in the irrational.

[timetravel42]

very good explaination of things from a christian history / perspective

[ULQININYC]

Thanks for Video this guy really explains well i like to hear things from both sides

[naganokumas]

I'm not religious, and I love studying history.

But you can't study history without studying religions and their significant influences on history.

I learned many things from this interview.

Thankyou so much for posting it.

[cukamonga333]

if jesus die for our sins then why are christians born in sin?

if jesus was so willing to die then why on the cross in the bible jesus said ' father why have you forsaken me'?

why in the bible jesus fell on his face to pray? ........ wasnt he praying to God?

did moses, noah, abraham etc....think about jesus when they spoke about the Lord?

why isnt the word trinity and Christianity ,mentioned once the bible?..........

[1dcboy]

the bible is a book of history and a book of "Prophecy".All prophecy is still being proved today.

[Victortrotska]

Yeah... Why don't you go play with some tarentula, rattle snakes, deadly scorpions and on the way chew on some rat drops.

Being a "100% true book" this should do you any harm according to Mark 16:17-18.

Do it or renunce your faith buddy..

[shammuhisham]

@1dcboy CAN U STATE ANY ONE PROPHECY IN BIBLE THAT HAS BEEN PROVED

[rgman268]

I think the black guy misses the point of the Trinity. It is not three different Gods. It is three aspects of one God.

[minute1981]

3 aspects?! says who?

[abdulr118]

for the muslims that may be wondering, the Holy Ghost according to us when it comes to the birth of Jesus( pbuh) is Gabriel or Jibreel the angel, just to clear up some confusion, salam

[aloyblue]

rubbish ,confused , pastor,

[muslimsince92]

wow i would find you here coming why don't you listen carefully instead of ignoring. When I listen to your preachers i look at them not as a a muslim point of view but a athiest then when I look at Islam it is soooooo right. Try my technique.

[exuaf]

that is because non of us has/have saw the god

[exuaf]

if you read the quran you will see the difference. Attack the non believer because they attack you not you the one who attack them at the first place. Everbody doing a same act. When someone is attacking you you have the right to defence yourself. What is the problem here.

[HitmanAdski]

You describe a person as having a head, two arms and two legs yet you are one... why can't it be the same for god?

[pakhtakor80]

Because without hand/hands, leg/legs even without all of them you say he is a person, invalid or what but still person. and those legs and hands you never call person. About the killing, if you read the Qur'an, it talks about war, time when non-muslims used to attack and kill Muslims, and broke the peacfull treaty! Now in the war (When you are attacked) what do the generals tell to the soldiers "when you face enimy, don't kill them, give them flowers"?! I don't think that any army does this!

[HitmanAdski]

where was the peaceful treaty anyway? hell the bible (you know the book you believe in... well part of anyway) doesn't even say there will be another prophet.

I didn't ask for why muslims kill people. But seen as were on the subject what is the point of killing people for Allah? I know most of the muslims aren't like Al Qaeda but they seem to kill without telling people about Allah... I would much rather believe in a God of Love rather than a God who gives you a reason to kill.

[studman411]

Allah (swt) says in the Quran that if you save a life, it is as if you saved all of Humanity, if you take a life, it is as if you killed all of Humanity.

Killing an innocent person unjustly is the 2nd biggest sin in Islam. The first one is associating partners with Allah (God). So i advice you to open a Quran and actually read what it says and not what you hear or read online.

[rgman268]

I don't beleive the Qu'ran considers non muslims to be innocent people. Especially those who are not people of the book.

[Futileuae]

This is just so unlogical... the trinity is talking about 3 different beings not the same being !

God is a being

Jesus is a being

The holy Spirit is a being

3 beings cannot be one being

[HitmanAdski]

Well considering that the god does not belong to our world it would make logical sense that in his world (heaven if you will) that this might just make sense...

[Futileuae]

Make sense? Are you sure your talking about God.

He knows all inside and out from atoms for the biggest of his creations and each part of the universe. ... I think it's disrespectful to speak of God in this manner my friend :)... God already know and doesnt need sense to make up His work

[HitmanAdski]

So you are more or less agreeing with me? and I don't see how it is disrespectful to speak of god in this manner... I'm sure he has a sense of humor too.

[Mijaseev]

Your problem begins with your understanding and categorizing GOD as three "beings." GOD is strictly ONE BEING.

[Futileuae]

I never said God was 3... I'm Muslim ?!?!?!

[abdulr118]

because God is one, He doesn't have body parts!

God is in spirit form because the Almighty can't be contained in any shape or form.

[HitmanAdski]

Except for Jesus, but that was just an analogy... I don't see why you all take it as how I really see the one and only god. If fact the head has been used as an analogy in the bible it's not all literal, and neither was mine.

[HitmanAdski]

Kill disbelievers wherever you find them. If they attack you, then kill them. Such is the reward of disbelievers. (But if they desist in their unbelief, then don't kill them.)2:191-2

I dislike Islam for that line alone.

[ooklepookle]

maybe you should read the next verse instead of taking something out of context

[bladeweilder]

Agreed... of course its imposibble for God to become His creation. Thats just unacceptable. If He became human (which is not true) then he can't die. He dont eat, he don sleep.

[diekaNr]

therazzz...Firstly we want ur reason why u all call Jesus is God otherwise he himself never said "I'm God & worship me"?

We say Jesus is the great Massanger of God and isn't God bcoz..

1) God Almighty never equal to another (ONE)

2) He absolutely He is,and never transform Himself to a weakness object

3)Of Course God can do anything..but can He die?Can He eat?Can He Sleep?can He be as what He creats?!

[therazzzzz]

this guy is lost wahayt allah he is! i believe anyone who leaves christianity for islam is simply just lost, and they dont know christianity as well as they thought! this guys is a protestant or somthing ur bound to get hundreds of protestants, catholics etc to convert coz in islam ur taught to brain wash ppl thats wat ur religion is good at! its imposible to find an Orthodox who will leave christianity coz they r taught properly and understand the truth!

[truthsaviour]

Hamza Yusuf was a Greek Orthodox and he converted to Islam and became one of the most well-known Islamic scholar in the whole world.

so i guess it's not that impossible to find a former orthodox converted to Islam.

[therazzzzz]

i dont understand y u muslims find it so difficult to understand the trinity? in islam ur taught not to doubt the works of God right? just like in any religion! So why do u doubt the fact that jesus is god?? you believe he created the heavens and the earths right? he created human beings y do u guys find it so difficult to believe that he created him self into human flesh? study properly dont just listen to wat a muslim says preferably ask an orthodox. ur bound to get the right answers :)

[diekaNr]

therazzz...Firstly u have to know our faith about who can we call God Almighty.

We say Jesus is the great Massanger of God and isn't God bcoz..

1) God Almighty never equal to others (ONE)

2) He absolutely He is,and never transform Himself to a weakness object

3)Of Course God can do anything..but can He die?eat?sleep?

If u still believe God can let Himself as his creations,ur concept of God is still weak..because in ur Bible itself said Nobody can see God..Think about it..

Salam

[ALANSARALHAQ]

You get a divine Jesus from Paul

Paul is confirmed by his own letters and by Luke - the Gospel writer in Acts. Luke is an unknown autor of the bible who writes what he learns from others. His sources are unknown. The "Israelite" Jesus is very different to the Pauline Jesus. The Israeite Jesus is a prophet and messenger of God and not as Paul claims.

[ALANSARALHAQ]

Sheikh Yusuf Estes; May Allah Bless The Sheikh and give a hundred more such sheikhs to us - a beautiful bridge between east and west.

My Salaam and Blessings on this great Sheikh.

[bladeweilder]

Salam, peace. y not one of more of those sheikhs is you? u also can be like them.. We also can... :)

[ALANSARALHAQ]

Let me soimplify for some; The Lord God who is One made a covenant with Abraham (AS) and "his seed" and their descendents after him. Abraham (AS) as neither a Christian nor was he a son of Judah (Jew) nor was he an Israelite (Children of Jacob) nor was Abraham (AS) an Ishmaelite (Arabs - sons of Ishmael). Abraham (AS) was abeliever you recognised his piety and righteousness in his "actions" how he followed God with complete, total obedience....

[ALANSARALHAQ]

part 2...

...So by total obedience means to give up your "free will" as a man to follow only from what is from God as this is best way to be closest to God. This is a definition of "submitting your will" before the "will of God". A definition of a muslim is the one who relinquishes his free will to follow everything from God and only follow what is from God. 2 be contd..

[ALANSARALHAQ]

Part 3.

Thus a man tries to elevate to the piety of the angel who are commanded just to worship. This is the DEFINITION of a muslim and is the practice of all our beloved prophetts and messengers.

I bid you Walaikum Asslam (Arabic)

Waleykom Ashalom (Hebrew / Aramaic)the universal greeting of the Israelite prophets including Jesus pbuh.

[orangejeans]

they look like father & son.. cute..

Thanks for the video!

[ammir1]

Subhan Allah.

[Ammyai]

Here is Jesus described in the Old Testament.

Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Jesus is the Everlasting Father, He is the Mighty God!

He came into His own creation to save it by dying for it - unto us a child is given!

He is also wonderful, councellor - Ruach ha'Kodesh! The Holy Spirit!

[SwordofManticorE]

This exchristian convert to muslim is blasphimus against the Holy Spirit. This sin will never be forgivin and has condemmed himself to eternal damnation.

[yosaw]

Who is Jesus?? God with same spicies with us or differ ??

If you say Jesus is God then I should be God too

[SwordofManticorE]

No! You are not God or a god. John 1:1-15 tells us how Christ was God in the flesh and John the Baptise bared witness to it all. This is writen in the Holy Bible. Either you believe or you don't. It is your choice.

[yosaw]

Uhmm sorry my choice is no... how come a man be god

[Ammyai]

Jesus is God, and you're not because you didn't create the Universe!

God can be anything He wants to be! He created man in the first place, why do you think He is not able to create a body for Himself also?

He became man for a very short time only, and for a perfect purpose and reason.

After that, He went back to heaven.

[zareenshah]

why would God want to be his creation, when His creations are imperfect ?

[SwordofManticorE]

A true Christian would never say the things that omgmyhead says.

[omgmyhead]

well i must say this to you my friend jesus clearly stated not to judge anyone that is left of to god almighty so for you not to even know me and who i am you just judged so for you to question me and say im not a christain when i clearly praise god every sunday in church makes you a sad polly my friend not me.

[Zarabbas]

Matthew wrote what Jesus said.

As for messiah and Jesus as the Son of God I recommend you should read some books about it from the Orthodox perspectives. Maybe these will help you, maybe not. The posting space is very limited for such a response that deserves better attention to the question you ask. God bless my friend.

[Zarabbas]

02joseph, you said "thats NOT JESUS SPEAKING THATS MATTHEW"

By that logic, the entire koran is wrong since Mohammad recited and did not write the koran. Others did.You keep finding contradictions in Christianity and waste time. When you finished wasting your time, then look at the koran and how it came to be. You will find that historically (not according to the myth of Islam) that the koran was written differently by many others and Caliph Uthman ended this by authorizing one universal copy.

[Zarabbas]

Hi 02joseph,

Here is just one as you asked,

Matthew 28:19 "...baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."

Just in case you want some Old Testament examples here are some to look up.

Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7

Isaiah 6:3

Even to the Jews, God was not fully understood and only through the Messiah could God be realized. Jews who still wait for the Messiah today still believe this.

[Zarabbas]

02joseph says "the trinity is bullshit" and that it made by "the Roman Catholics".

First you make a statement of absolute certainty and follow it by misguided assumptions. Thats logical to you?

The Roman Catholic Church did not reveal the Trinity. God did this for us in the Old and New Testaments.

As for proof of Roman Catholicism's diviation of faith and your proof, Orthodox Christians have known this long before Muslims even had an inkling of an idea about it. God bless.

[Zarabbas]

02joseph. You ask if I am that dumb? Putting your rudeness aside I will say that yes I do know what Helper means. Yes the Helper helps human beings. God helps human beings also. Does that mean God is a mortal like Muhammad?

The Church has always known that Parakletos is a reference to the Holy Spirit. All of a sudden Muslims appear in the 7th century and tell Christians they were wrong for hundreds of years? What kind of God do you believe in that would allow this?

[Zarabbas]

When Yusuf Estes says "Catholic" he is refering to the Roman Catholic Church which questionably can be argued to have diviated during the 800's A.D. and officially in 1054. However, he claims that the "Catholic" Church (Roman Catholic) created the Trinity. This is incorrect. Also the Protestants who he speaks of of protesting, did not protest the Trinity.

The Triune God recognizable in various pasages from Genesis, and even in Isaiah.

Muslims are mistaken 1+1+1=3

To be correct 1 X 1 X 1 = 1

[Zarabbas]

Iman F. Qasim (in the video at time 9:22) said,

"...in order for God to be a Trinity, that means He would require help..."

That doesn't make sense. Jibreel or Gabriel in English, helps God as a messenger.

Other Islamic arguments say that Muhammad was identified in the John 15:26 where it says God will send a 'helper'. Why does God need help? He doesn't. WE NEED HELP. For Christians, that HELP is recognized in the ONE GOD who can do anything.

[Zarabbas]

A very limited and one-sided analysis of what the Trinity is.

[khansss333]

hello

type in Ahmed deedath and Dr zakir NAik to Vs dr william cambell to get debates between muslims and christians biiiii

I'd like to see Yusuf Estes in debate with Christian scholars on the truth of his statements concerning the Trinity...

"I am the Lord thy God...Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them nor serve them."-

(THE FIRST COMMANDMENT, EXODUS 20:2-5).

please note: that jesus came to fullfil these commanments and not to bring new laws.

[Sitbatan]

very nice and clear... God is Clear, pure, perfect.. human beings are imperfect.

The Quran is a Clear Revelation direct from God, to Guide humanity from human tampering and imperfection. Read it, study it, and Believe!!

how can god choose be born amongst a particular group of people why not Chinese, Japanese or Africans, and why Mary? who are gentiles? god's powers are limitless i agree, if he can become a man does that mean he can become pig, dog or a donkey or even Satan if you say no then you are limiting god's powers not i. god sends messengers all over the world i can accept but he himself/herself coming down to earth and not among my people, and left parables and different versions of his book to choose

[shadowofears]

There were unitarian Christian( Muslims) who were persecuted for believe in one God by Niceae Creed.The word Trinity is a latin not even greek it doesn't exsist in bible.Not even paul of tarsus knew such a docterine.

[shadowofears]

There is no need of division of God.God is united not divided.Trinity is nothing but a form of polythesim.Jesus was a Muslim & he never preached Trinity .He preached about one God & keeping his ten commandments.Peace & blessings

[shreksdog]

So GOD is always in heaven now becouse his Holy Gost is representing Him on earth now, He lives in the hearts of anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as Son of GOD, The Holy Gost is here to comfort the children of God (made by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ). The Holy Gost also teaches and convinces people of sin, justice and judgement.

[Boemshiika]

"In vain do they worship me" (Matthew 15:9

(Matthew 7:21-23) "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'"

[shreksdog]

Christ is not one of many, in the line of Abraham, Isac and Jacob, Moses Aaron and all the others, Christ is GOD Himself, Father, Son, Holy spirit. Father in Heaven, Son (Jesus Christ)is in Heaven now too, sitting on GOD's right hand to be our solicitor by GOD becouse HE made the perfect sacrifice (like earlyer said)to say to GOD I bougt them free. so every time you pray to Jesus Christ He is willing to conciliate you with GOD.

[Boemshiika]

please note: that "Father" " sone of god" and "Holy ghost" are only metaphores not literal. Holy ghost= arc angel Gabriel an angel is only a creation

son of god=(Psalm 2.7): "I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me [David], Thou art my Son; this day have 1 begotten thee." It can be any one who is beloved by God. Jesus also said that God is not only his Father but also your Father (Matthew 5:45, 48).alot of things in the bible are metaphorical e.g.jesus saying "they will never die"

[ghostmanno12]

the interviewer had poor interview skills, probably because he isnt so familiar with the subject matter, but mr estes handled it well.

[shreksdog]

The Holy Gost is our Pledge,He will testify with our spirit that Jesus Christ has saved him, that Jesus Christ is the Lord over all creation, and made that sacrifice to conciliate you with GOD. That's what i have learned out of the bible and that nobody can go to GOD (the Father)the through HIS Son Jesus Christ.

[madari2]

WHITE lIE

[anamojahid]

"Such was our argument,with which we supported Abraham against his people.We exalt whomever we will to higher ranks.Your Lord is Most Wise, Omniscient. And we granted him Isaac and Jacob,and we guided both of them.Similarly,we guided Noah before that, and from his descendants David, Solomon,Job,Joseph,Moses,and Aaron.We thus reward the righteous.Also,Zachariah,John, Jesus,and Elias;all were righteous.And Ismail,Elisha,Jonah,and Lot;each of these we distinguished over all the people"Quran(6:83-86

[shreksdog]

How are you being conciliated with GOD then?

Jesus Christ did that as part of the trinity,

as Son of GOD (so HE is GOD)to live on earth, became human, lived as example without sin. In HIS innocence HE took the deathpenalty to vanquised satan, death ( the reward for sin is death), sicknes. In other words: to consiliate sinful people with GOD.

[smsmderdoc]

when jesus came down to earth as God and walked on earth then who was in the heavens and taking care of the whole universe.

[iatajik]

God is one,,there is no trinity or holy gost and stuff it is just peoples ignorant and kinda progrommize by preachers and church ,if thay study and common sens think then thay will find the truth like many peoples does and revert to islam find the right pad & truth God, Allah bless you all

[myfriggin1]

its sad that 90 % of Catholics dont even follow the Church doctrine. based on the saints since the time of Jesus Christ.

mystics? visionaries? there have been true stories, more Catholic miracles than anything. look at Padre Pio. look at St. Faustina. anyhoo...

the Church was consecrated by Popes at the beginning of the 1900s with the Holy Spirit.. since then, evangelical/pentecostal groups have been booming... coincidence? Truth is in being Catholic. But be fervent for knowledge!

[myfriggin1]

Gospel of John. Even if you dont believe that God is 3? He's at least 2. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was WITH God, and the Word was God.

With? with?!

Curious... what does Islam say about the Bread of Life, and the Life giving Blood? It's sad that Catholicism is the most heavily criticized religion in the world... so much so that most Christians, aren't followers of Catholicism... Sacrements... sacrementia, an oath, the physical made visible

[strandneuker]

hey! why so much focus on the denial of the trinity??!!

[shadowofears]

Johannes Greber (1874) a former of Catholic priest in his book 'The Communication with the Spirit World of God' in page 371 was written, "As you see, the doctrine of a triune Godhead is not only contrary to common sense, but is entirely unsupported by the Scriptures". So another priest who was deny the trinity.

[shadowofears]

Moreover, the 'Socinianism', the 17th-century Christian also rejects such traditional doctrines as the Trinity and original sin, the founder is Socinus, and his Latinized name of Lelio Francesco Maria Sozzini (1525-1562), the Italian Protestant theologian.

[shadowofears]

Even in the modern age there are churches in Asia, in Africa, the Unitarian church, the Jehovah's witnesses, and even the majority of today's Anglican Bishops do not worship Jesus (peace be upon him) as one in three, as what been report by the "Daily News" 25/6/84 under the heading "Shock survey of Anglican Bishops."

[shadowofears]

We, Muslims are not the only ones who believe that Jesus (peace be upon him) is mortal and not a god so that means we deny the trinity.

The Jews also reject the trinity, in addition to the very first groups of Christianity such as the Ebonites, the Corinthians, the Basilidians, the Capocratians, and the Hypisistarians never know about trinity doctrine at all. The Arians, Paulicians and Goths also accepted Jesus (peace be upon him) as a prophet of God and against the trinity.

[Neothelastone]

every catholic is potentially Muslim ..he has just to reconcidere the notion of trinity ..and may God ALLAH guides him to the path of the truth .."GOD IS ONE NOT THREE"..I love all of you

[RosannaRocco]

You consist of soul and flesh and although you consist of two things you say that you are one. So who is dependend on what: The flesh dependend on the soul or the soul dependend on the flesh?

[RosannaRocco]

Jesus is like a drop of water. The Father-God is like a endless ocean. The Holy Ghost is the power.

[saarein54]

Very good analogy!! These people are trying to use their intellect to explain the unexplainable! The Trinity does not mean 3 separate gods. The "Word" is Jesus. In Genesis 1:26 it states "Then God said, Let US make man in OUR image. Can they explain who US is and who OUR is?

[taklarat]

i love the deen show.

[shaeltiel]

also people dont know what son means in difrent ways.(THEY JUST DONT KNOW)

the discription of the crist being the Son is not a offspring it means a direct inheriter.

when it says we are his sons it means we are his offspring(spirits)jesus said flesh borns flesh and spirit borns spirit. we are spirit born from are(spirit)God. simple

we are not some spirit chair or table we are beings wich has the DNA of God.

resone,thought,power,laungeg,f­amileys,emotions,morols,laws,c­reativity.choice

[shaeltiel]

wow i saw this guys testamony about being a christian he dident even know his own God and believes.

now he is trying to say as a muslim that he understands God wich is very sad.

all those sayings explaning the trinity are practicly rong and silly.

you are a body(one) soul(one) and spirit(one).

a (((practical))) atheist says you are only a body and one person and can not and also be three but i geuse we know better. (so God is one as three, simple) its not the word
