There is one true God. by Musafir 2012/03/28 20:35
At the core of Muslim and Christian beliefs is the doctrine of God.
Christians believe God is Triune and the importance of this belief can be
seen in the churches and universities
that have Trinity in their name:
Trinity College
Holy Trinity Church
Trinity University
Trinity Christian Academy
:)
Major Differences Between Islam and Christianity One belief that Muslims and Christians do not hold in common is Jesus’ death by crucifixion. Jesus’ death on the cross is central to Christianity. In fact, its importance can be seen in Christian art, Christian symbols, and the names of Christian institutions such as:
Holy Cross College
Holy Cross Hospital
Holy Cross Church.
Christians are monotheists because Trinitarianism is a form of monotheism.
Muslims reject Trinitarian monotheism.
The Muslim belief is summarized by the word Tawhid (also spelled Tawheed or Tauheed). The first article of Islam (Shahada) begins,
“there is no other god but God.†It must be emphasized that both Christians and Muslims affirm
monotheism. The issue is whether the Bible or the Qur’an gives the true
explanation of monotheism:
Trinitarian or Tawhid? This is important because Muslims often misrepresent the doctrine of the Trinity. In fact, the Trinity rejected by the Qur’an is not Christian Trinitarian doctrine found in the Bible.
The Christian beliefs in God,
monotheism, and the Trinity can be
summarized in seven statements:
1. The Father is God
2. The Son is God
3. The Holy Spirit is God
4. The Father is not the Son
5. The Son is not the Holy Spirit
6. The Holy Spirit is not the Father
7. There is only one God :)
When Christians say: (1) The Father is
God; (2) The Son is God; and (3) The
Holy Spirit is God, we are identifying
Who God is.
When we say: (4) The Father is not the Son; (5) The Son is not the Holy Spirit and (6) The Holy Spirit is not the Father
we are distinguishing the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The seventh statement is the difficult one,
“There is only one God.†The Greeks would say, “Zeus is god, Apollos is god, and Dionysius is god, and there are three gods†(polytheism). Christianity says, “The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God and there is only one God†(monotheism).
The debate between Muslims and Christians is whether the monotheism of the Qur’an is true or whether the monotheism of the Bible is true.
Does the Bible or the Qur’an present us with the one true God.
yes :) but todays christians reject this universal truth.

I'am a christian, but I do not believe neither in the trinity nor in the truth, because I know what the Bible teaches about the matter
