Christ Jesus (Peace on Him) did not teach the concept of trinity

Let us proceed with the arguments. == Christ Jesus (Peace on Him) did not teach trinity == This simple fact alone is sufficient to affirm the resolution. Christ Jesus (Peace on Him) did not even mention the concept of trinity. There is only one verse in which Christ Jesus (Peace on Him) mentions ‘The Father’, ‘The Son’ and the Holy Spirit’ in one sentence Matthew 28: 18-20 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Christ Jesus (Peace on Him) commands that baptism should be carried out in the name of ‘The Father’, ‘The Son’ and ‘The Holy Spirit’. However he does not say that the three are same or equivalent. In these verses he also says that he has been given authority in heaven and earth. Who gave him this authority? It is pretty clear Jesus (Peace on Him) had been given this authority by God. In these verses Christ Jesus (Peace on Him) has not said that he is equal to God. == Christ Jesus (Peace on Him) taught Unity of God == Christ Jesus (Peace on Him) considered the first commandment to be most important. Mark 12 28:30 And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?” Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: 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.’ The scribe specifically asked him about the most important commandment. Had Jesus (Peace on Him) wanted to teach the concept of trinity it was the perfect opportunity to explain his message. However he taught that God is One. One is not three. Jesus (Peace on Him) taught us to love One God with all our hearts, souls, mind and strength. That is what we Muslims do. Further he addressed God as ‘our God’. This means that God is the Lord of Christ Jesus (Peace on Him) just as God is the Lord of rest of humanity. This is the teaching of Jesus (Peace on Him). This is the message of the life of Christ Jesus (Peace on Him). We pray to God that we never deviate from the most important teaching of our beloved Prophet Jesus and Muhammad (Peace on Them). There are many more verses where Christ Jesus (Peace on Him) shows God to be much superior to him. A person called him as ‘Good Teacher’. Christ Jesus (Peace on Him) told him that no one is good except God alone. This event has been recorded by both Luke and Mark. Please note that he said ‘God alone’. Clearly when Christ Jesus (Peace on Him) thought about God, he considered him as singular. This is the way we should all remember and worship God. Luke 18:18-19 And a ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. Mark 10:17-18 And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. == Christ Jesus (Peace on Him) prayed to God == If Christ Jesus (Peace on Him) used to pray to God. This has been duly recorded in the Gospels many times. This also confirms that Christ Jesus (Peace on Him) was not God. Mark 1:35 And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed. Not only did he pray himself, he also asked his disciples to pray. Luke 22: 39-41 And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. And when he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed, There are many more verses where Christ Jesus (Peace on Him) has glorified God and prayed to God. I may quote more verses in later rounds if needed. == Anticipating my opponent’s argument == Christians often quote the following verse to claim that Jesus (Peace on Him) claimed to be God: John 10: 30 I and the Father are one. However this is complete misinterpretation of what Christ Jesus (Peace on Him) was trying to say. To understand this verse we need to understand the context of the verses. John 10:24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” This particular group of Jews surrounded Christ Jesus (Peace on Him) and demanded that he should explain whether he is the Christ. It is quite clear that this particular group is hostile and looking for an excuse to pick up a fight. John 10:25-29 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me, but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. Jesus (Peace on Him) tells them, He has already told them (that he is Christ) however they are not ready to believe. His works (or miracles) also testify to the fact that he is Christ. All his miracles are performed in the name of God. His genuine followers recognize him and will attain salvation through him. His genuine followers (apostles) have been given to him by God. God is greater than all. No can snatch the apostles out of God’s hand. John 10:30 I and the Father are one.” So what does this mean? Looking in the context, it means is that Christ Jesus (Peace on Him) is on the same side as God. They are one in purpose. Since no one can snatch the apostles from the hands of God, hence no one can snatch the apostles from Christ Jesus (Peace on Him). Christians misunderstand that Jesus (Peace on Him) is claiming to be God. Such an interpretation simply does not fit in the context of previous verses. Interestingly this group of Jews also suffered from the same misunderstanding. John 10: 31-34 The Jews picked up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?” The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.” So Christ Jesus (Peace on Him) explained what he really intended to say: John 10:34-37 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’? If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be broken— do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me; but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” Jesus (Peace on Him) explained: In Jewish law it is written that, ‘I said, you are gods’. However Jews do not consider this as blasphemy since it is not taken literally. Similarly what he said was not a blasphemy. He was not literally claiming to be God. Christ Jesus (Peace on Him) was performing miracles on behalf of God. These people cannot deny these miracles. As a result they should believe that these miracles are from God. The works are not just Jesus’s (Peace on Him) works. Rather they belong to God also. It was in this sense that he meant, the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” It is the turn of my esteemed opponent to present his case.
