               from the Gospel concerning the Oneness of God in the pages that fol-
               low.) Nowhere in these passages are there any illogical references to a
               three-in-one, nor to three separate deities meaning one deity or to
               three separate entities being essentially one. All the Gospel says is that
               "God is One." The fact set out in the Gospel is that there is no other god
               than Him. It is so easy to see this that it is astonishing how, despite
               these many explicit passages in the Christian Gospel, they could ever
               have developed the doctrine of the Trinity.

                   One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that
                   Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the command-
                   ments, which is the most important?" "The most important one," an-
                   swered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is One.
                   Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and
                   with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love
                   your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."
                        "Well said, teacher," the man replied. "You are right in saying that
                           God is One and there is no other but Him." (Mark, 12:28-32)
                             To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty... (Jude,
                              1: 24)
                              You believe that there is One God; you do well: the devils al-
                              so believe, and tremble! (James, 2: 19)



                            How Jesus (pbuh) commanded
                             fear of God

                                    According to the Gospel, Jesus commanded
                                    people to fear, not him, but God alone. Some
                                     Christians may claim that the subject is the

                               three-in-one, for which reason Jesus is thus referring
                                 to himself. This confusion is of course something
                                 that only proponents of the Trinity can use to de-
