text: for christians is it one god or three? if it is one why mention the other two? if the father, the holy sipirt and jesus are all gods should there be 3 different prayers one for each? why all prophets before jesus asked there people to worship god alone? if jesus is the one who taught christians how to pray, then who taught christians to pray by making the cross sign? if the cross is the sculpture that jesus suffered on and crussified, shouldn't christians hate it rather than take it as a symbol? who created the univers? if jesus christ is the son of god and his name is jesus christ what is the father's name? being the mother of god is virgin marry a god too? what about her parents are they gods too or humans? did jesus christ eat? sleep? work to get food? if human beings wouldn't let any one hurt or humilate them in anyway, how god all mighty allowed earthly people to crussify him? undoubtedly one of the hottest areas of debate in discussions between christians and muslims is the christians dogma of the trinity. almost invariably, muslims are convinced that christians believe in three, separate deities, whilst christians are adamant in affirming their absolute commitment to monotheism. without question, the concept of the triune deity - indeed, the whole doctrine of god - is difficult to understand, but this difficulty is unnecessarily accentuated if an uninformed or incorrect view of christian dogma is held by muslims. the purpose of this paper is to set the record straight, and also to compare and contrast aspects of the doctrine of god in both religions.........
