Thier are many people going through life without knowing the creator of Heaven and Earth...

@ANGELMICHAEL69 You can't even begin to address the Christian doctrine of the trinity and now you're trying to merely dismiss it. Mohammed's misunderstanding of the trinity clearly calls into question the divine inspiration of his recitations. This represents a serious challenge to your faith in the words of Mohammed. If there is an answer, you need to find it. If there isn't, you have believed a lie. Yet you dismiss this a crucial issue as "petty", and the best you can do is try and ignore it.

[ANGELMICHAEL69]

@Keruaran I havent got time to waste on petty trinitarians now stop pestering me before the Arch Angel Gabriel thwarts you. You insignificant doyle.

[Keruaran]

@ANGELMICHAEL69 Since this is so very difficult for you to grasp I'll reiterate: Your infallible God is so infallible he doesn't seem to know what Christians believe. Furthermore, the Quran you believe is perfect says that the law, the prophets and the gospels are the word of God (2:87, 3:3, 5:46, 4:163) and that the word of God cannot be altered (6:34, 6:115, 10:64). And you still can't address the actual doctrine of the trinity. You and Allah just lurch from one blunder to the next!!

[ANGELMICHAEL69]

@Keruaran The gospels you follow are not a faith but a made up faith ie "not G-ds will" Jesus himself only corrected the Jews in the lack of Kavanah he never said to stop practicing the Torah hence Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or....

[ANGELMICHAEL69]

@Keruaran (I hope your sarcasm takes you straight to hell lol.) my Lord G-d is the living G-d that never dies neither is my G-d confused, he is infallable, he has no begining and no end,he has no mother and no son, he is the G-d of Moses, Mohammed and Jesus "Pbuthem" and the creator of all things. ps your Gospels are mere commentary by mortal men comentary that has been very distorted. I think I know what the problem is you might miss your pig butties or obviously you dont like to be wrong!!!.

@ANGELMICHAEL69

Unsurprisingly, as is common with Muslims, you fail to address the real doctrine of the trinity at all.

If your "word of G-d" does not show accurate comprehension of the Christian doctrine of the trinity (which was well known hundreds of years before Mohammed was born), then it either isn't the "word of G-d" and a fraud or your "G-d" is suffering from Alzheimer's and is simply oblivious to what Christians actually believe.

Does your "g-d" remember what he's offended about?

[ANGELMICHAEL69]

@Keruaran I believe and know for 100% fact that the Holy Quran word for word is the word of G-d sent through the Angel Gabriel to Prophet Mohammed pbuh. Although there is a passage in the Holy Quran that states "those of the people of the book (ie Christians and Jews) who do rightous deeds will be admitted into Paradise" I strongly doubt Trinitarians are among them. Trinitarians strongly offend true g-d ( Ehad Adonai Elohai) as is stated in the Holy Quran, they have also offended Jesus and Mary.

@ANGELMICHAEL69

The statement, "Those who say that the Messiah, son of Mary, is the third of three are unbelievers", illustrates a fundamental misunderstanding and consequently, misrepresentation of the doctrine of the trinity.

The doctrine of the Trinity is this: There is one eternal being of God, indivisible and infinite. This one being of God is shared by three co-equal, co-eternal persons, the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. The distinction between "being" and "person" is important.

[ANGELMICHAEL69]

Those who say that the Messiah, son of Mary, is the third of three are unbelievers. There is no god but the One God. (Surat al-Ma'ida, 5:73) (I'm getting sick of repeating myself)
