4.2 The Trinity and Incarnation On Trial
“For God is not the author of confusion but of peace…”(1 Corinthians 14:33, GI) The Trinity is considered by Christians to be One God that manifested in three different or distinct Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Nevertheless, at the same time one should not think that God splitting himself into three parts. God expressed himself wholly and totally in each one of these three manifestations when he wished to reveal himself to the world They also believe that the second Person of God that is the Son is One with the Father because of their sameness of substance, essence or nature (al-Dzat), thus God the Son did not exist with the Father side by side in the Divine world but is wholly in the Father. God the Son then chooses to appear in a human form, descended and lived among men in the Incarnation to die by the means of Crucifixion as a “perfect offering” for mankind because man is helpless to save himself. Muslims then ask: “How could the Father be God, Jesus be God, and the Holy Spirit be God, yet there be not three Gods but One God? According to Christians Apostle Creed, Jesus will sit on God’s right hand after his ascension to heaven. The Gospel of Mark 16:19 (NLT) has: “When the Lord Jesus had finished talking with them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand” thus it is necessary to recognize that the Father is different and separate from the Son.[1] The Incarnation of God the Son (that possess the same substance, essence or nature (al-Dzat) of God the Father) in the body of a man leaves us with two possibilities: either the Son still remains with the Godhead or he leaves him. In the former case the presence of a Person in two places at the same time (The Son with the Father in heaven and the Son with men on earth) is claimed and that is not possible, and in the latter case it would demand “absence of Godhead Himself” as the absence of the part essentially proves the absence of the whole”. [1] Surprisingly, this verse of the ascension of Jesus to heaven was regarded as an addition to the Bible by Biblical Scholars themselves. According to them, “the Most Ancient Manuscript” had no references to Mark 16:19 at all. (Ahmeed Deedat, Is The Bible’s God Word?, 20-21)
