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:
www.knowmuhammad.org
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
"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
"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
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
"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
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
"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
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
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
