Sub-section Two: the text on which Christians rely with respect to Trinity:

            The term “trinity” never occurs in the books of the Old Testament or the New Testament.[1] The text they rely on with respect to trinity is what occurs in Matthew exclusively: “…baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”[2] Christians may be asked here whether this is enough evidence to trinity and whether we have three persons mentioned successively to represent a single person.  The answer is clear; it is in the negative, for the use of the conjunction “and” implies diversity; namely, baptizing them in the name of each of these three different entities, for the Father is Allah, who is the father of all the Prophets and even of all human beings, as declared in the Gospel. As to the son designating Jesus, the term “son” is used to refer to Israel, Adam, David, Solomon, and any righteous person, as mentioned in the Gospel, too. The Holy Ghost is the angel who came down upon all the Prophets and not only upon Jesus.”[3] Moreover, scholars doubt the authenticity of this text, which occurs in the conclusion of the Gospel of Matthew, for the whole conclusion is doubtful and considered as spurious. Adolph Hernick, a famous ecclesiastical historian, says: “This formula of the trinity is strangely ascribed to Christ, and it had no influence during the time of the Apostles. If it had been declared by Christ personally it would have had such influence.”[4]  

            Besides, only Matthew and not any other Gospel mentioned this notion. How was it that Matthew exclusively mentions this doctrine, which is the basic requirement to be a Christian?     

            “Why do Mark, Luke and John not transmit to us this saying of Jesus if he really said it, bearing in mind that they did transmit such matters as were more trivial and less important and valuable than this fundamental pillar of faith? One wonders whether they had not heard this saying from Jesus; therefore, they did not mention it in their Gospels; or they were unfaithful in transmitting information; or Jesus (peace be upon him) had not said it, but Matthew mentioned it purposefully and attributed it to Jesus to make it prevail and assume the nature of sanctity.”[5]
