The only right way - Vadim Platun

were called sons, and this removes one of the major stumbling blocks between Judaism, Islam, and Christianity.

All are servants of the Lord God, especially among believers, and it is the highest reward to be honored as an acceptable servant of the Most High God. In this regard, the Bible fully conveys the meanings of the Qur'an and vice versa, and unequivocally says that everyone is a servant of the Lord God, from ordinary people to Jesus.

The oldest religion, Judaism, recognizes and is based on the Tanakh (part of the Old Testament of the Bible) and does not deny the existence of Jesus. Judaism objects to Jesus being considered God. But, as noted above, Jesus did not call Himself God. On the contrary, He immediately corrected those who addressed Him incorrectly. He warned that there is only one God and that one should worship, give thanks, and pray only to Him.

If we follow the logic of Muslims who do not recognize Christianity, they, like Christians, confess the Trinity.

The Christian understanding of Jesus and the Islamic understanding of the Qur'an are similar.

Islam sees the recognition of Jesus as the Son of God and the belief in the Holy Trinity as a departure from monotheism. But this is only a superficial understanding.

There are more similarities than differences between Christians and Muslims as well as Jews.

The Holy Qur'an, like Jesus, who was born in the flesh, is sacred and eternal in nature.

For Muslims, Jesus is a prophet. For Christians, Jesus is not a prophet, but He is the Son of God. And that's a huge difference if you look at the words and not the meanings. Treating Christ as a prophet in the eyes of many Christians is about the same as calling the Qur'an a collection of Muhammad's sermons.

But the Bible itself calls Jesus the Servant, the Son, and the Word — with many definitions. The point is that all who have the Holy Spirit are one unity. It is the same Spirit, but each one has a different role: Moses had his, Abraham had his, Elijah had his, Jesus had his, and Mohammad had his. Why play human maximalism with words, who is greater, who is less, and sow discord among people of different religions who sincerely want to be with God? After all, many people do not choose a religion but are born into one or another, depending on the state or society in which they live.

The Trinity in Christianity does not mean pagan polytheism. God in three persons is like the three social roles of man: son-husband-father or daughter-wife-mother. The roles are different, but the person is one. Or like mind, thought, and spirit performing different functions in one person.

It is because of their misunderstanding of the difference between nature and personality that Muslims do not understand the essence of the idea of the Trinity.

The Qur'an is the Word of God incarnate, not in the form of a human being, but as a Book of eternal truth. In other words, the Christian understanding of Jesus and the Islamic understanding of the Qur'an are essentially identical.

Thus, Muslims themselves, without realizing it, confess a Trinity, if we follow their logic in accusing Christians: God the Father is Allah, God the Son is the Qur'an, and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Gabriel, who brought the revelation from God to the Prophet Muhammad.

It is very important to pay attention to all these parallels today in order to emphasize that Christians and Muslims, as well as Jews, have much more in common than they have differences. They belong to a single monotheistic tradition.

Also, many Muslims, if not most, honor Muhammad as highly and even more than Christians honor Jesus, despite the rebuke to Christians for worshiping Jesus as well as God. Yes, Muslims do not worship Muhammad, but they honor him as highly and majestically as most Christians do not honor Jesus. But true Christians also worship only one God, as the Bible commands.

You can say whatever you want, but you have to look at actions and meanings, not at literal words.

The Qur'an says, "Do not say, 'Trinity. Stop! — for your own good." "Allah is only one God." True believing Christians agree with this and do not say that Allah is the third of the Trinity. The Bible also says: "There are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one." Are these associates or other gods? No, they are the One Lord God. That's why Christians do not ascribe associates to God (and the Qur'an forbids this). They do not say "Third in the Trinity."

So where is the incompatibility in all this? What stumbling blocks might there be?

In the book of ISAIAH in the Old Testament, there is a prediction of the birth of a great servant who will be called God and who will be the judge of men.

More than once in the New Testament, Jesus is referred to as the Judge.

It's written, "No one has seen God at any time" (of those who live on earth). But some, chosen ones, were honored to communicate with Him. For example, some spoke to the Almighty through angels. Jacob wrestled with an angel, not with God. The Bible is specific about this because there are phrases describing this event that can be interpreted to mean directly with God. Moses, for example, spoke directly to the Lord, but he did not see His face. Finally, it is said that "God is Spirit.

The Torah in the Bible says that God appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob with the name "God Almighty," not with the name "the Lord". This means that God communicated with them from the highest and most almighty position without revealing Himself to them. This shows that the communication with God was not as we understand it literally.
