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 is confusion. the daddy and the Holy Spirit are actually not separate "persons," the daddy is who God is; Holy Spirit is what God is God sends his own substance, no longer one among 3 persons. Jesus is the two God and guy. As guy, he hungered, thirsted, slept, and died. As God, he feeds the hungry, provides residing water, has no choose of sleep and can't die. The flesh died. In John 2:19, Jesus reported, "wreck this temple, and in 3 days i visit advance it up." Verse 21 tells what he grew to become into speaking approximately. study John a million:a million-14, John 14:9-10, Colossians 2:9-11, and that i Timothy 3:sixteen. The doctrine of the trinity arose because of the fact people who had no non secular information have been attempting to define God.

It was a word coined by the Council of Nicea around AD 325 to define how God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost could be separate entities and yet still all be the same entity. It does not contradict the oneness of God, but rather defines different 'parts' of God. And not all Christians accept the Trinity as being scripturally sound.
Islam teaches that Jesus was not God incarnate, a claim that Jesus himself makes in John 8:58, so any Islamic teachings regarding the nature of Jesus' relation to God or the concept of the Trinity can be ignored for the sake of argument.

"For there are three who bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one." (1 John 5:7)
From the mouth of the man who hung out WITH Jesus for 3 yrs. The "disciple whom Jesus loved." So, while the word "trinity" wasn't coined until the 4th century, the concept is definately found in the 1st Christians writings.
Are you trying to say that the three religions mentioned above are the same? If you are I couldn't disagree with you more. While Judaism is based on the OT, they neglect the NT. The Koran is not compatible with anything, not even itself. They are not the same.

It is "The Devine 3 in 1", or God in the act of "Self Experience".
God gave birth to "The Son", through which "The Father" was able to experience "His Magnificience" through the "Act" of Self Creation. (which He displayed by proforming mirracles, Teaching Love and Compassion etc), Thus the Father and the Son were Glorified and their existence rendered "Holy" Upon the Earth, (As it was also in Heaven).
The Trinity Is:
The which gives birth too (or The Father), Thats which proceeds forth (or The Son), and that which is created and Thus experienced (which was The "Life" and "Works" of Jesus Christ) ( or The Holy Spirit ).
Thus God has experienced HimSelf in All His Glory (In Spirit and Flesh) "As it Is in Heaven, Also Upon the Earth"

It comes from the concept of God (or as you call him "Allah") being able to send his inspiration in the form of a spirit, OR a prophet.
The oneness is fully intact for those who are ALLOWED to accept it without giving "Allah" 99 names....oops

Yes. 325 AD to be precise. Yours is definitely the best answer here. It's a pity you can't award yourself 10 points.

The Trinity is Pagan in its origin..
It is the triple aspect of the Goddess, Maiden Mother and Crone..
Life, death, re-birth, integrated or stolen if you like by the early Christians, like most of The Bible, stolen from many ancient cultures...
Blessed Be... )O(
