It's not the same God, because God cannot be one and indivisible, and a holy trinity at the same time. You are incorrect. That is *exactly* what Christians believe. The Prophet Mohammed had a problem with this, and throughout the Quran denied that Allah ever had a son. Yet Islam respects the Virgin Mary, and holds that Jesus was of a virgin born. Judism, Christianity, and Islam all believe in One God, the Same God. Islam contends that the ambiguity surrounding the Trinity was injected into Christianity by St. Paul who was trying to convert pagans. He succeded in both. Christians do not have any difficulty with this ambiguity in this day in age. God is one God Indivisible: Father Son and Holy Spirit. You may claim that acceptance of this statement is a form of brain washing or conditioning, and you would be right in as much as it is said and accepted without too much crictical thought by most Christians. And any really deep thought on this subject will lead directly into hereasy. That is most other explanations have already been thought of and declaired hereitical by the year 300 (or so). What the Trinity does do, is to open more doors to access and to know this God whom we worship. |
