The Idea That "If You Believe Jesus
(pbuh) Is Divine You Will Go to

Paradise" Is Very Dangerous

How evangelists and many other Christian churches that espouse
belief in the Trinity conceive of the hereafter is very mistaken. Under
such a belief, there is no need for an intellectual struggle for God's

do good for God. The only distinction between people is based on
whether they believe in the Trinity or not. Even if someone who has
suffered for God all his life, who has done good and spent his life mak-
