(١١٥)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?The Trinity <strong>is</strong> a Mystery Unacceptable by the MindWith th<strong>is</strong> clear contradiction between the Church Councils' dec<strong>is</strong>ionsand the Bible’s monothe<strong>is</strong>tic passages, Chr<strong>is</strong>tians had to use theirminds to solve th<strong>is</strong> matter. They had to solve these contradictions,which are impossible to put together, and explain to people the <strong>is</strong>sueabout the <strong>three</strong> who are <strong>one</strong>, and about the <strong>one</strong> who <strong>is</strong> <strong>three</strong>.In addition, with the weakness of th<strong>is</strong> dogma, and the impossibility ofunderstanding it by the human mind, Chr<strong>is</strong>tians have no choice butto say that the Trinity <strong>is</strong> a mystery that <strong>is</strong> impossible to comprehend.M<strong>or</strong>eover, some Chr<strong>is</strong>tians confess that Chr<strong>is</strong>tianity conflicts with themind.Saint Augustine said, “I believe because that <strong>is</strong> unacceptable by ourmind”.Kier Cougard said, “Each attempt to make Chr<strong>is</strong>tianity a crediblereligion would result in destroying it.” In ‘The Chr<strong>is</strong>tian Teachings’ weread, “It <strong>is</strong> not allowed to ask about God’s secrets, because wecannot comprehend the belief’s secrets.”In h<strong>is</strong> book, ‘The Catholic Teachings’, priest De Grout said, “TheHoly Trinity <strong>is</strong> a puzzle in the truest sense, and our mind cannotdigest a Tri-God, but th<strong>is</strong> what the inspiration taught us.”Describing the Trinity, Zaki Shnouda said, “It <strong>is</strong> <strong>one</strong> of the divinemysteries, which <strong>is</strong> impossible f<strong>or</strong> our mind to comprehend.”Father James Ted said, “Chr<strong>is</strong>tianity <strong>is</strong> beyond the mind’sunderstanding”Priest An<strong>is</strong> Sh<strong>or</strong>oush said, “One in <strong>three</strong> and <strong>three</strong> in <strong>one</strong>, aremysteries you do not have to understand, but you have to accept.”In h<strong>is</strong> book ‘Eternity Secret”, priest Tawfiq Jayed madeunderstanding the Trinity impossible, and there <strong>is</strong> no point in trying todo so, because, as he said, “whoever tries to understand itcompletely, <strong>is</strong> like he who wants to put the ocean’s water in h<strong>is</strong>palm.” 11 - Chr<strong>is</strong>t (PBUH) Between Facts and Imagination, Mohammad Wasfi, pp 139, TheDebate of Time, Ahmad Deedat, pp 105, Chr<strong>is</strong>tian Creeds Between the Quran andReason, Hashem Jodah, pp 153.
