This means to say that the decision that we and the Western
men of knowledge reach about the Holy Bible is this: The Holy
Bible is not the Word of Allah. The real Torah and the real Bible,
which were the Word of Allah, have been turned into an
altogether different book each. In today’s Bible, alongside the
statements that can be considered to be the Word of Allah, there
are many statements, reasonings, superstitions and tales that were
added by other people. Especially those passages referring to
tripartite godhead are fallacies that run quite counter to the
essential belief in the Unity of Allah and to people’s common
sense.
As the Torah and the Bible were being translated into Greek
and Latin, the Roman and Greek idolators, who had been
accustomed to worshipping many gods until that time, would not
be contented with one god and missed for their polytheistic
practices. According to some scholars, the reason why the original
Biblical credo ‘Unity of Allah’ was bred into ‘Trinity’ during the
process of its translation into Greek was that the Greek people
were adherent to Plato’s philosophy. The Platonic philosophy
would divide everything into three. For instance, good manners
were based on three sensory forces: Morals, reason, and nature.
And nature, in its turn, was divided into three: plants, animals, and
humans. Essentially, Plato thought that there was one creator of
the world, yet he ascribed two possible assistants to the creator.
This gave birth to the dogma of ‘Trinity’, which is acknowledged
by a number of historians. However, as you will see further ahead,
many verses of the Torah and the Bible confirm the fact that is
stated, for instance, in the twenty-second verse of the forty-fifth
chapter of Isaiah, “... for I am God, and there is none else.” Even
today’s copies of the Holy Bible reject the dogma of ‘three gods’
that was forced into them. It is argued also that ‘Trinity’ was an
error of translation. Upon seeing that the dogma of ‘Trinity’ is
gradually losing its credibility especially in the minds of younger
generations, the Christian church is fumbling for other
connotations for the words ‘Father’ and ‘Son’, and thus trying to
make a soft landing on the belief in ‘One Allah’. Later on we shall
dwell on this matter of translation.
Despite the established fact admitted by many Christians that
today’s copies of the Torah and the Bible are not the Word of
Allah, some bigoted Christians still insist that “Every word in the
