To Barbara: God can not be one of us.

Dear Barbara,

I don't understand trinity not because I am a Muslim. Let's think about it clearly. Christians use Genesis to prove it but how one can believe that God ate cake with Abraham. Three men visits Abraham he calls them Lord. Is there any logic here? God can not be one of us.

If your God is also God of Jews then tell me why Jews have no the concept of trinity. Why did Abraham believe in only one God like Our messenger Muhammed, peace upon him? Judaism has nothing to do with Christianity. You quoted verses from Jewish Bible but Jews didn't accept him as a messenger of God of Abraham. Deut. 21:23 - Anyone hung on a tree is cursed! How do you explain the fact that Jesus was executed as a criminal by Roman soldiers ? (We Muslims believe that he was not executed )

Moses never mentioned about the trinity. This concept came to Christianity with Paul who was a pagan Roman. He didn't see Jesus. But he declared himself as an apostle of Christ Jesus. How do you believe that teaching of Paul is word of God? He learned Judaism and Christianity from Peter and modified it with Hellenistic views. If worshiping a male God suits you I have nothing to say. The ancient history is full of divine males. Then tell me what is the difference between Chritians "Jesus" Godman and the Greeks "Dionysus" Godman ?

PDM used a title as if God Abraham gives death command only in Quran. I gave an example it was not so.
