88 Prophet Jesus (pbuh): A Prophet, Not A Son, of God

Another passage in the Gospel of Saint Mark shows that Prophet
Jesus (pbuh) objected to being praised, let alone deified:
As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees be-
fore him. "Good teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good except God.
(Mark 10:17-18)
This passage alone is sufficient to show that doctrine of the trinity

violates the most basic teaching of Christianity. In rejecting praise and
stressing that God is the only One worthy of praise, Prophet Jesus (pbuh)
is clearly stating that he is a servant of God.
The truth that he related to the people of Israel is the same truth re-
lated by all prophets since the beginning of time: Our Lord, Almighty
God, created the universe from nothing, creates flawlessly in the most
beautiful manner, is the great and superior, knows the inner face and se-
cret aspects of all things, is the first and the last, was not born, is unsul-

lied by any imperfection, is the Omniscient and All-powerful, the
Glorious, the Ruler, the Beneficent, and the Forgiver. Everything in
heaven and Earth has submitted to Him.
Indeed, the "oneness of God" appears as an essential article of faith in the
New Testament -both in the four Gospels and in the writings and letters of the
apostles, which condemns all forms of polytheism, trinitarianism, and pagan-
ism, as does the Old Testament. Those who think that there are other deities
besides God are called to monotheism throughout the New Testament.
Some of these passages read as follows:
... [Jesus said to him:] "The Lord our God, the Lord is One." "Well said,
teacher," the man replied. "You are right in saying that God is One and
there is no other but Him. (Mark 12:29-32)

… God is One. (Galatians 3:20)

[They] exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look
like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles…They exchanged the
