Epigraph:

We sent Noah and Abraham, and gave prophethood and scripture to their offspring: among them there were some who were rightly guided, but many were lawbreakers. We sent other messengers to follow in their footsteps. After those We sent Jesus, son of Mary: We gave him the Gospel and put compassion and mercy into the hearts of his followers. But monasticism was something they invented– We did not ordain it for them– only to seek God’s pleasure, and even so, they did not observe it properly. So We gave a reward to those of them who believed, but many of them were lawbreakers. (Al Quran 57:26-27)

The Quranic verses mentioned as the Epigraph before this video are one of the most friendly sections of the Quran for the Christians, so I am starting off on that note to invite them to the above video, which is a polite and insightful, yet fair evaluation of the question of Trinity.

Robert Lawrence Kuhn has thousands of videos on the subject of religion, cosmology, human consciousness, metaphysics, afterlife and more and you will find them as a good source of learning these subjects. I have put many of these in our main menu, under the heading of Religion & Science.

He calls Trinity an exercise in mental gymnastics and I know that many thoughtful believing Christians will call it a mystery. The only way I can make sense of it is to see it through the prism of Soren Kierkgaard, who was a Danish theologian, philosopher, poet, social critic, and religious author:

It is not the business of any Christian writer or preacher to dilute Christianity to suit the general educated public. The doctrine of the incarnation was to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, and so will it always be, for the doctrine not only transcends reason; it the paradox par excellence; and it can be affirmed only by faith, with passionate inwardness and interest. The substitution of reason for faith means the death of Christianity. 

Christianity is perfectly sandwiched between Judaism and Islam and that is the best argument for unitarian Monotheism. That is how it was and also how it was revealed in the final scripture the holy Quran.

If you are a Christian and have come this far in this post, may I suggest, to read on and in the words of Sir Francis Bacon, “Read not to contradict … but to weigh and consider.”

Epilogue

In the final analysis, Trinity can only be understood through the history of it’s formulation through the first six Ecumenical Councils, spread over the fourth to the seventh century.

Christianity evolved in presence of large pagan population in the Roman Empire.

In my humble opinion the social and the political coercion during the two millennia of the Christian history, has created the mystery of Trinity.

The most dramatic manifestation of which was the burning on the stake of Michael Servetus in the seventeenth century, he among his other guilts had written two books to demystify Trinity.
