(١٠٦)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?addition, Saint Eckstein, when he debated in the fourth century withthose who were against the Trinity, did not mention th<strong>is</strong> passage.M<strong>or</strong>eover, he wrote ten d<strong>is</strong>sertations commenting on John’s Ep<strong>is</strong>tle,but he did not mention th<strong>is</strong> passage.The Rev<strong>is</strong>ed Standard Version and some universal translationsdeleted it from its Engl<strong>is</strong>h version. It still ex<strong>is</strong>ts in most of the othertranslations, such as Douay-Rheims Bible, the International StandardVersion, James Murdock New Testament, and the Modern KingJames Version.The passage in the Engl<strong>is</strong>h Standard Version and some othertranslations <strong>is</strong>: “because the Spirit <strong>is</strong> the truth. F<strong>or</strong> there are<strong>three</strong> that testify: the Spirit, the water and the blood; andthese <strong>three</strong> agree” (John (1) 5/6-8). The Monastic JesuitTranslation menti<strong>one</strong>d, in its introduction, the reason f<strong>or</strong> the deletion.It says, “Th<strong>is</strong> passage was never menti<strong>one</strong>d in the manuscript bef<strong>or</strong>ethe fifteenth century <strong>or</strong> in the old <strong>one</strong>s, neither in the best Latintranslations. Most likely, it was a comment written in the margin, andthen was inserted into the text while in use in the west.”Benjamin Wilson, the translat<strong>or</strong> of the Greek manuscripts, said thesame. He said, “Th<strong>is</strong> sentence, which <strong>is</strong> evidence of the divinity, <strong>is</strong>not found in any of the Greek manuscripts bef<strong>or</strong>e the fifteenthcentury. N<strong>one</strong> of the Greek writers n<strong>or</strong> did any of the ancient Latinpopes ever mention it, even when it was necessary f<strong>or</strong> the topic;theref<strong>or</strong>e, frankly, it <strong>is</strong> a fabrication”. 1B- The Last Verses of Matthew’s GospelThe second passage, which Chr<strong>is</strong>tians consider as evidence of theTrinity, <strong>is</strong> Matthew’s verse in h<strong>is</strong> last chapter. Th<strong>is</strong> verse speaks ofJesus (PBUH) bef<strong>or</strong>e h<strong>is</strong> ascent to heaven, as he gave h<strong>is</strong> commandto h<strong>is</strong> d<strong>is</strong>ciples. “And Jesus came and said to them, "Allauth<strong>or</strong>ity in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Gotheref<strong>or</strong>e and make d<strong>is</strong>ciples of all nations, baptizing themin the name of the Father and of the Son and of the HolySpirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded1 - The Truth Revealed, Rahmatullah al Hindi, Vol.2 pp 497-504.
