About the Trinity and the hidden truth?
Where Did The Trinity Come From ?
The three monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - all
purport to share one fundamental concept: belief in God as the Supreme
Being, the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe. Known as "tawhid" in
Islam, this concept of the Oneness of God was stressed by Moses in a
Biblical passage known as the "Shema," or the Jewish creed of faith:
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." (Deuteronomy 6:4)
It was repeated word-for-word approximately 1500 years later by Jesus
when he said: "...The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; the
Lord our God is one Lord." (Mark 12:29)
«"Muhammad came along approximately 600 years later, bringing the same message again: "And your God is One God: There is no God but He, ..."» (The Qur'an 2:163)
Christianity has digressed from the concept of the Oneness of God,
however, into a vague and mysterious doctrine that was formulated during the fourth century

The 'trinity' in the Catholic faith comes from the debate regarding the 'attributes' of God. The Catholic theologians distilled God's attributes down to three: father, son, and the Holy Ghost (as I was taught in Catholic school).
Chistianity, Islam, and Judaism share three fundamental concepts: Monotheism; Abraham, and the Old Testament.

First of all, I don't think christianity is monotheistic. Jesus is the god of christianity but the way he comes from judaism makes it impossible to deny the other god.
I think that the concept of trinity was created to settle the matter of "one god". The guy trying to do that put Jesus and god and there was a line, not good visually... Then he tried with the holy spirit (something that's mentioned once in the bible with a very fuzzy paragraph) and he got a triangle, nice.
It's normal that all three have the same key phrases. After all christianity is judaism reformed (twisted I'd say) and islamism is based on both (with another twist).
Jesus was a jew, raised and educated as a jew and a true believer in judaism. Mohammed acknowledged judaism and christianity and (allegedly) brought back the true religion as god intended (the one that was dictated to Adam, Noah, Abraham, etc by god).
All the religions that follow this line take the basics and the material of the previous ones and make their own twist.
Just look at the polytheistic catholicism, allegedly a christian church.
It's just a matter of what twist is more convenient politically or economically at each particular time.
Thank god I'm atheist...

The trinity is the early Christian leaders crow-barring something together to satisfy all parties and sects of the Christian faith at the time.
For example, if there is one God, then how could Christ be God as well as God? Similarly with the Holy Ghost / Spirit.
The solution? Create a trinity whereby God is the Father, Son and Holy Ghost all at the same time.
Simple, eh?

Well , this is strange , I read the answer between ur question lines ....
U Answered ur question (Where Did The Trinity Come From ?)
isn't it obvious ? , if all the 3 religions assured the same thing (that there is only one God) then I say ... they all came from the same One God .... am I right .. ?
Say , am a Muslim ... (not Muslim) ... I believe in Mohammed -Pbuh- cause I believe that other religions -no offence- came from Allah -all mighty- but then were deformed and changed by the hands of the human beings ...
that's my belief ... and that's ur life ... Choose.. = )

The Trinity is an absurd concept which attempts to bring balance and justification to the notion that Jesus of Nazareth, also called Yeshua bar Yosef, is somehow both God the Creator and the Son o' God at the same time. Donno where the Holy-Friggin'-Spirit came from.

Divide and conquer also applies to splitting peoples' brain into guilt and confusion. Provide some twisted words along with actual and threatened punishments, and you have a formula that has worked to help conquer the world.

Nice try. There is but one God. As we have a mind, body, and spirit so to does God. Simple, yet so hard to understand.
