                              turning away from the true faith. It is a
                             grave perversion to practice a form of

                        religion reminiscent of the idols of the pagan
             faiths instead of being sincerely bound to One God. Those
             who say they believe in One God while sheltering behind such
             accounts should be very careful. A Christian who believes in the
             Trinity may want to believe in One God, and may regard himself
             as doing so, and that is a good thing; but belief in the Trinity can
             never be belief in the One God. By believing in the Trinity a
             Christian is, knowingly or otherwise, falsely ascribing divine sta-
             tus to other entities and thus engaging in polytheism.
                 In one verse of the Koran, our Lord issues the following warn-
             ing to those Christians who go astray on the subject of the Trinity:

                 People of the Book! Do not go to excess in your religion. Say noth-
                 ing but the truth about God. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was
                 only the Messenger of God and His Word, which He cast into
                 Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His
                 Messengers. Do not say, "Three." It is better that you stop. God is
                 only One God. He is too Glorious to have a son! Everything in the
                 heavens and in the Earth belongs to Him. God suffices as a
                 Guardian. (Koran, 4:171)



                    2. The danger of all endeavors coming to
                           naught

                                Another great danger our genuine Christian

                            brothers will face because of the error of the Trinity is
                               the possibility of all the efforts they claim to make
                                  in the name of God coming to nothing. This is
                                   a great danger for Christians who, disregard-
                                      ing reminders and warnings, continue to as-
