Christianity, as the Holy Quran stresses in many

verses, was a monotheistic religion that was

adulterated; many pagan beliefs were interpolated

in the Holy Book. These interpolations resulted in

the doctrine of Salvation through the crucifixion of

the son-god (Jesus), a widely accepted dogma by

many Christian cults.

•Despite the fact that many verses in the

Bible reject this belief and, moreover, it is

historically established that this dogma

along with many other beliefs were

decided in the first Synod, the church

deplorably still hugs this dogma to bosoms .

Long before modern studies probed into the history of Christianity to discover Jesus was no more than a simple man and that paganism was insidiously made its way into the bible, the Holy Quran has stressed that Jesus was no more than a human.

The Holy Quran on the sonship of Jesus The Holy Quran

says:

“The Christ will never disdain to be a votary of God, nor

will the angels close to Him. And those who disdain to

serve Him and are proud (should remember) that they

will all go back to Him in the end. (4:172)”

The Holy Quran says:Verily they are unbelievers who say: "The Messiah, son

of Mary, is God." You ask them: "Who could prevail

against God if He had chosen to destroy the Messiah,

son of Mary, and his mother, and the rest of mankind?"

For God's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth

and whatsoever lies between them. He creates what

He please, for God has the power over all things. (5:17)

The Holy Quran says:

They are surely infidels who say: "God is the Christ,

son of Mary." But the Christ had only said: "O

children of Israel, worship God who is my Lord and

your Lord." Whosoever associates a compeer with

God, will have Paradise denied to him by God, and

his abode shall be Hell; and the sinners will have

none to help them. (5:72)

The Holy Quran says:

“The Christ, son of Mary, was but an apostle, and

many apostles had (come and) gone before him;

and his mother was a woman of truth. They both

ate the (same) food (as men). Behold, how We

show men clear signs, and behold, how they

wander astray! (5:75)”

• The Holy Quran says:

“The Jews say: "Ezra is the son of God;" the

Christians say: "Christ is the son of God." That is

what they say with their tongues following

assertions made by unbelievers before them. May

they be damned by God: How perverse are they! (9:

30)”

• The Holy Quran says:

“They consider their rabbis and monks and the Christ,

son of Mary, to be gods apart from God, even though

they had been enjoined to worship only one God, for

there is no god but He. Too holy

is He for what they ascribe to Him! (9: 31)”

Modern Christians scholars hold a consensus that

ancient paganism has changed Christianity, here

we quite some of the world thinkers whose

scholarly are reliable:

The origin of the [Trinity] is entirely pagan.

" (The Paganism in Our Christianity, Arthur Weigall,

as quoted in, Should you believe the Trinity?,

Watchtower publication)

www.knowmuhammad.org

Page 13: World thinkers

"Christianity did not destroy paganism; it adopted it.

. . . From Egypt came the ideas of a divine trinity."

("Will Durant", quoted in, Should you believe the

Trinity?, Watchtower booklet)

www.knowmuhammad.org

Page 14: World thinkers

"Christianity had conquered paganism, and

paganism had corrupted Christianity .

(Winwood Reade, Philosopher and historian, The

Martyrdom of Man, p 183-84, quoted by anti-

Trinitarians)

www.knowmuhammad.org

Page 15: World thinkers

Trinity "is a corruption borrowed from the heathen

religions, and ingrafted on the Christian faith.

( "A Dictionary of Religious Knowledge, Lyman

Abbott, p944, as quoted in, Should you believe the

Trinity?, Watchtower publication)

www.knowmuhammad.org

Page 16: World thinkers

"This sublime pronouncement of absolute

monotheism was a declaration of war against all

polytheism . . . In the same way, the Shema excludes

the trinity of the Christian creed as a violation of the

Unity of God." (The Pentateuch and Haftorahs", J. H.

Hertz, 1941, Vol. 1, p. 215, a rabbi)

www.knowmuhammad.org

Page 17: World thinkers

If Paganism was conquered by Christianity, it is equally

true that Christianity was corrupted by Paganism. The

pure Deism of the first Christians . . . was changed, by the

Church of Rome, into the incomprehensible dogma of the

trinity. Many of the pagan tenets, invented by the

Egyptians and idealized by Plato, were retained as being

worthy of belief." (Edward Gibbon's History of

Christianity, quoted in, Should you believe the Trinity?,

Watchtower publication) ("History of Christianity", by

Edward Gibbon, 1891, p. xvi)www.knowmuhammad.org

Page 18: World thinkers

"In the book A Statement of Reasons, Andrews Norton

says of the Trinity: 'We can trace the history of this

doctrine, and discover its source, not in the Christian

revelation, but in the Platonic philosophy . . . The Trinity

is not a doctrine of Christ and his Apostles, but a fiction of the school of the later Platonists "'.

(A Statement of Reasons, Andrews Norton, 1872, Fifth

edition, American Unitarian Association, Boston, MA, p

94, 104., as quoted in, Should you believe the Trinity?,

Watchtower publication)www.knowmuhammad.org

Page 19: World thinkers

The doctrine of the Trinity was of gradual and

comparatively late formation; . . . it had its origin in a source entirely foreign from that of the Jewish and

Christian Scriptures; . . . it grew up, and was ingrafted

on Christianity, through the hands of the Platonizing

Fathers." (The Church of the First Three Centuries,

Alvan lamson, 1860 edition, p. 34., British and Foreign

Unitarian Association, As quoted in, Should you believe

the Trinity?, Watchtower publication)

www.knowmuhammad.org

Page 20: World thinkers

So how then did a Trinitarian doctrine come about? It

gradually evolved and gained momentum in the late

first, second and third centuries as pagans, who had

converted to Christianity, brought to Christianity some

of their pagan beliefs and practices. Trinitarianism

then was confirmed at Nicaea in 325 by Church

bishops out of political expediency" (Dr. Victor Paul

Wierwille, Arian, Leader of The Way International,

Jesus Christ is Not God, p. 25-26)www.knowmuhammad.org
