Why is the creed of the Trinitydangerous?
The creed of the Trinity and Trinitarianism advocated by some Christians in our day is a very serious delusion. Apart from being a great slander against God and Jesus (pbuh), it is also a serious threat. It is of great importance for our Christian brothers to be aware of these dangers that the creed of Trinity leads to and may give rise to in the future. Some of these dangers are as follows:
1. The danger of ascribing partners to God:
According to both the Gospel and the Torah, ascribing partners to God is "polytheism." Consequently, with the creed of the Trinity, genuine Christians inadvertently fall into this great danger of ascribing partners to God by ascribing divine status to Jesus (surely God is beyond that). This danger of ascribing partners to God is not an issue that can be ignored. Almighty God says this in the Koran regarding this great danger: "The heavens are all but rent apart and the Earth split open" (Koran, 19:90). Ascribing partners to God is a great sin in God’s Sight. In the Koran, God threatens those who commit this sin:
God does not forgive anything being associated with Him but He forgives whoever He wills for anything other than that. Anyone who associates something with God has committed a terrible crime.(Koran, 4:48)
In the Gospel, Christians are forbidden to ascribe partners to God:
And [they] exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles [surely God is beyond that]… They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator [surely God is beyond that]—Who is forever praised. (Romans, 1:23-25)
Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.'" (Luke, 4:8)
Christians who claim they in fact worship a single deity under the name of the Trinity (surely God is beyond that) and claim that He is manifested in three forms, as body, soul and consciousness must not regard this as anything but danger of polytheism. Living in such a state of disorder rather than believing in One God as the Creator of All, Who is with us at all times, means 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 status to other entities and thus engaging in polytheism.
In one verse of the Koran, our Lord issues the following warning 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 nothing 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, disregarding reminders and warnings, continue to ascribe partners to God solely because of this delusion, and do not heed their consciences but assume they are on the true path. Such a danger should not be underestimated. In the Koran, God warns, "some faces on that Day will be downcast, laboring, weary" (Koran, 88:2-3). In another verse of the Koran, we are informed of people, "People whose efforts in the life of the world are misguided while they suppose that they are doing good." (Koran, 18:104) In the Torah, on the other hand, the prayers of those who sincerely believe are cited as follows:
May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands. (Psalms 90:17)
Consequently there will be people whose endeavors will come to nothing in the hereafter. A devout believer should not regard himself as immune from this danger and should heed his conscience. Right now, God is calling our Christian brothers who have been indoctrinated with the creed of the Trinity for years to search their hearts in the light of these reminders and warnings.
3. The danger of hidden unbelief, hypocrisy and atheism
Another danger posed by the creed of the Trinity is that it causes hidden unbelief or that it causes people to drift into atheism. It is not difficult for any person who is well acquainted with the Gospel to grasp the irrationality of the creed of the Trinity. In fact, almost all Christians are aware of this fact. But they nonetheless make themselves believe in it, citing various pretexts, or else many of them remain silent under the threat that otherwise "they will have abandoned the faith."
Some of them, on the other hand, drift into unbelief because consciously and logically they cannot accept this creed and they do not in fact believe it.This is a great threat. There are secret unbelievers in Christianity who are compelled to appear devout although they are aware of the invalidity of the Trinity. The hidden unbelievers who lose their religion due to this superstitious creed constitute the danger of hypocrisy in Christianity. Hypocrites, on the other hand, are the main reason for conflict and division in Christianity, just as is the case in Islam and Judaism. They are the members of a dangerous group and the source of false beliefs developed to make Christians weak and prevent them from worshipping.
Apart from this, a growing number of Christians are straying from the true path and becoming atheists because of the idea of the Trinity which opposes sound logic and reason. As the reason for their irreligiousness, the atheists in question raise the discrepancies and forced logic in Christianity. Christians who espouse the Trinity are, no doubt, aware of this situation.
Of course, the possibility of these people drifting into secret disbelief, hypocrisy or atheism simply because they cannot be convinced about the truth of the Trinity is definitely a danger. If a person is truly sincere, he is obliged to turn to God in his heart, strive to see and understand the truth, and to abide by what his conscience guides him towards. However, this danger must in no way be ignored.
The history of Christianity also reveals the great ideological conflicts caused by the idea of the Trinity, which have come down to our own day. It is impossible for a righteous creed to be the source of such great conflicts and tribulations. It is possible that to date, some Christians have not properly assessed the dimensions of this danger. It is likely that they are simply trying to uphold a false belief inherited from their forefathers, assuming that it is commanded in the Gospel. However, this is a belief definitely contrary to God’s command. When they consider the Gospel in a rational way and refer to their conscience, and see the tribulations caused by a superstitious belief, they will understand this better. Consequently, we call on genuine Christians to take refuge in God, to think without indoctrination rooted in Christianity and to make their decision with their purest of conscience.
Passages from the Gospel Regarding Serving God without Ascribing Equals to Him
Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’" (Luke, 4:8)
Jesus said to him, "... Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only." (Matthew, 4:10)
... My dear friends, flee from idolatry. (1 Corinthians, 10:14)
For they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God... (1 Thessalonians, 1:9-10)
[Jesus:] "No servant can serve two masters... You cannot serve both God and money." [May God forbid] (Luke, 16:13)
... If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. (Matthew, 6:23-24)
No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons. (1 Corinthians, 10:20-21)... Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat such food they think of it as having been sacrificed to an idol, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled. But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do. (1 Corinthians, 8:7-8)
So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world and that there is no God but One. (1 Corinthians, 8:4)
Dear children, keep yourselves from idols. (1 John, 5:21)
The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. (Revelation, 9:20)
...and to warn those who say 'God has a son.’ They have no knowledge of this, neither they nor their fathers. It is a monstrous utterance which has issued from their mouths. What they say is nothing but a lie.
(Koran, 18:4-5)
