1. The Bible clearly says that God is One.
Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord. (Deutronemy, 6).
I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me (Isaiah, chapter 45)
And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel, the lord our God is one Lord.
From here we're going to have a bunch of people say that God and Jesus are one and the same, so there is no contradiction. In other words, they bring up the Trinity, or say that Jesus was God personified.
Well, God Almighty has called other prophets is son's before Jesus, and prophets before Jesus have also called God their Father. Does this mean that they are the literal son's of God? No! But here I find that most people will say that this language was used symbolically in their sense, but literally in the case of Jesus, even though there is no precedent.
I have found David my servant, with my holy oil have I anointed him. With whom my hand shall be established, mine arm also shall strengthen him. And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him...He shall cry unto me, Though art my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. Also, I will make him my first born, higher than the kings of the earth. (psalms 89, 20-27)
Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest, and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about, for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days. He shall build an house for my name, and he shall be my son, and I will be his Father, and I will establish the throne of his kindgdom over Israel forever. (Chronicles 22, 9-10)
To further support this, the bible also clears up any misunderstandings by saying that not only is Jesus not the son of God in the literal sense, He is the Son of Man.
The son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say... (Matthew 11)
The book of generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham (Matthew 1, 1) (Is this to be taken in the literal sense of the word of well is you believe Jesus to be the son of man and god simultaneously?)
People also say that Jesus was god (god forbid) because he performed many miracles, classifying him as a deity and not a human being.
The bible also speaks of Elijah performing many miracles, such as in Kings 17, where he ate from a barrel for many days that would have otherwise should have gone empty. It further says that Elijah healed a sick boy, practically "raising the dead". Should this not constitute Elijah as God as well?
To further this, even regular people can show miracles according to the bible, miracles as great as even Jesus showed. Would this make them God as well?
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief, for verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
(Matthew 17).
If this isn't even enough, according to the bible, even false prophets and show miracles. Noone would go around to deify false prophets, would they?
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (Matthew, 24)
Now, if you take every word of the bible as literal, then you will have to admit that God not only had one son, but he had several sons, and that Jesus was both god, son of God and son of man altogether. Here is where the Trinity comes into play. Apparently, St. Paul, creator of the Trinity, couldn't reconcile all the different names of Jesus, and invented the trinity to account for them all. The trinity itself is one of the most confusing and paradoxical things about christianity, and takes a certain knack of double-think (1984, for those who didn't catch that) to be able to entertain the thought.
I do not wish to hurt anybody's feelings or offend anybody's beliefs, believe me, please. I just wish to help people back to the truth, and as the Quran says, there is nothing worse then Shirk, or associating someone with Allah.
