[1]According to Isaiah 44/24, "I am the Lord, who makes all things." We also read
in Isaiah 45/5, "I am the Lord, and there is no other, there is no God besides
Me." In Isaiah 45/18, we also find, "For thus says the Lord, who created the
heavens, who is God, who formed the earth and made it, who has established
it, who did not create it in vain, who formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord,
and there is no other." 1 Timothy 6/16 also states that God is One "Who alone has
immortality." Isaiah 46/9 confirms, "For I am God, and there is no other; I am
God, and there is none like Me." The Qur'an (39/62) states, "Allah is the Creator
of all things, and He is the Guardian and Disposer of all affairs." It further states
in 6/102, "That is Allah, your Lord! There is no god but He, the Creator of all
things, so worship Him; and He is the Disposer of all affairs." We also read in
25/58, "And trust in Him who lives and dies not." The Qur'an also states in
42/11, "There is nothing like to Him, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-
Seeing." It is only reasonable, therefore, that He who is as such should be worshipped
alone.

granted the right to forgive sins. In the Twentieth, the Pope was made infallible.
[3] Encyclopedia Americana states that monotheism began as a theological movement at
a very early stage in history and that it preceded the belief in the Trinity by tens of years.
It further states that Christianity was a product of Judaism, which was very strict as far
as monotheism was concerned. The belief in the Trinity was only admitted in the fourth
century CE and did not accurately reflect the original Christian belief in the true nature of
God; rather, the Trinity was a deviation from that original belief. (c.f., vol. 27, p. 294) The
New Catholic Encyclopedia New Catholic Encyclopedia, 1967, Vol. XIV, p.299, states, "The
formulation 'one God in three Persons was not solidly established [by a council]...prior to
the end of the 4th century. Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even
remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective."
[4]Jesus confirms his human status, while God said of Himself, "For I am God, and not
man" (Hosea 11/9). "God is not a man… nor a son of man" (Numbers 23/19). "My
