Educating Muslims on Trinity by Ibrahim Dikko

Evang. Ibrahim Dikko

THE TRINITY IS WHAT MUSLIMS DID NOT UNDERSTAND: If you are a Muslim, you may think Christians believe in three gods. That idea is as blasphemous to Christians as to you.

The one God exists as three Persons: The Bible teaches that God is one in essence, three in Person: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:16-17; 28:19). Each is fully God. God is not three gods but three in one. Although we cannot completely grasp the tri-unity of God, we must trust His revelation is true.

When asked for the greatest command, Jesus responded, The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength (Mark 12:29-30).

             There is one God!

Christians believe in one God. In the Holy Bible, God commands, You shall have no other gods before me (Exodus 20:3).

All Christians believe in the doctrine of the TRINITY. If you do not believe this, that is, if you have come to a settled conclusion that the doctrine of the Trinity is not true you are not a Christian at all. 

I have always said it this way: If you try to explain the Trinity, you will lose your mind. But if you deny it, you will lose your soul. Let's take a look at the definition of the Trinity and what the role of the Trinity is today.

        THE TRINITY DEFINED

There are many places we might go to find a suitable definition. Any of the great ecumenical creeds would serve us well in this regard. However, let's stick closer to home and simply reprint Article B—The True God from the Calvary Memorial Church Articles of Faith.

We believe in one living and true God who is the Creator of heaven and earth, who is eternal, almighty, unchangeable, infinitely powerful, wise, just, and holy. 

Lets break it down into six smaller statements about the Trinity that are easier to understand:

1: One God and One Only 

2: Exists in three Persons 

3: Equal and Eternal 

4: Worthy of equal praise and worship 

5: Distinct yet acting in unity 

6: Constituting the one true God of the Bible

When we say these things we mean that the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, but they are not three Gods but only one God. The Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Spirit, the Spirit is not the Father, but each is God individually, and yet they are together the one true God of the Bible.

At this point, I think we should acknowledge the chief objection to the doctrine of the Trinity, which is that it is absurd. Sometimes the Jehovah's Witnesses (who pointedly deny the Trinity) ridicule it with this little equation: 1 + 1 + 1 = 3. In their minds, Christians worship three Gods, not one. The answer is quite simple: The doctrine of the Trinity is not absurd if that's what the Bible teaches. Furthermore, there is more than one way to play with equations. You could also say it this way: 1 x 1 x 1 = 1!

Muslims often ask: Where do we find the Trinity doctrine in the Bible?

For instance, the Bible contains numerous clear statements regarding the unity of God: Deuteronomy 6:4 tells us that the Lord is one. 1 Corinthians 8:4 adds that there is no God but one. 

1 Timothy 2:5 explicitly says there is one God. All Christians heartily affirm this truth.

MUSLIMS, I PRAY THE SPIRIT OF GOD WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THIS!
