Page 21 - Prophet Jesus (Pbuh): A Prophet Not A Son, Of God

HARUN YAHYA 19

God, his submission and obedience to all of our Lord's commands, and
his superior moral values, are those who abide by those moral values
and follow the path of monotheism. Our Lord reveals that:
The people with the strongest claim to Abraham are those who follow
him and this Prophet, and thos se who believe. God is the Protector of the
believers. (Surah Al 'Imran: 68)

For this reason, Christians and Jews who sincerely believe in God
must, like Prophet Abraham (pbuh) and those who follow him, turn
solely to God and adopt his moral values, sincerity, and depth of faith.

Like his followers, they must be devout believers in God's oneness and
ascribe no partners to Him. However, the Christians have left this path
due to their belief in the trinity, which has, in effect, given God two part-
ners: Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and the Holy Spirit (God is surely beyond
that!).

What does the error of the trinity mean for Christians?

Christianity was born among the Jews living in Palestine. Almost all
of Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) people, including his followers, were Jews who
lived by the Mosaic law. The most fundamental characteristic of Judaism
was its uncompromising monotheism.

However, after Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) ascension to God's presence,
Christianity began to assume a very different form as it moved out of the
Jewish world and into the pagan one. Its traditional monotheism, the
basis of the Mosaic law, underwent a great change: Due to the belief in
the trinity, Prophet Jesus (pbuh) began to be regarded as divine. (Surely
God is beyond all such misguided beliefs and expressions.)
The concept of the trinity, the culmination of a long process, refers to
belief in a three-part God consisting of the Father, the Son, and the Holy

Spirit. It has become one of traditional Christianity's most important ele-
ments of faith, despite its contradiction of monotheistic belief in our
