Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books An Introduction To : the Truth of the Existing Christianity Chapter 18: the Trinity Or the Worship of Three Gods There is an inherent need in human nature, which drives him towards theology. Such a need and natural inclination existing in human beings and other creatures are, in themselves, the clearest proof to the fact of the existence of a perfect and peerless God who has to be free from any deficiency and need.

Otherwise, it is essential that God, too, should be in need of and dependant on another God and is considered among the creatures. For this reason, the theologists declare God free from any property, which introduces Him as a dependent being.

For instance, they say that God is not a compound being, because every compound matter such as sun-light, which is composed of heat, light and chemical process, is dependent on its ingredients and on a factor which has mixed these ingredients in certain proportions and this is in disagreement with the real meaning of God who has to be independent of everything.47 They also say that God has to be only one, because if we imagine two or three Gods, this makes it essential to believe in "composition" as regards the divine being, because each God needs a different thing to be mixed with Him in order to be distinguished from another God, and composition, as we have just said, is in disagreement with needlessness.

Therefore, God is absolute and principally thinking in terms of polytheism and the worship of three beings (The Trinity) do not agree with belief in real God, the Creator of the universe.48 Despite this, unfortunately before the birth of Christ, a group of people began to believe in the concept of the trinity and polytheism. Because of their narrow- mindedness and because of a series of manifestations of the power of God, these beliefs found adherents in India, Rome, Egypt and other regions.

The Influence of the Concept of the Trinity among the followers of Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, like other prophets persistently prohibited the people from believing in polytheism and atheism and warned: "O children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Lo! Whose ascribeth partners unto Allah hath been forbidden paradise. His abode is the fire. For evildoers there will be no helpers." (The Holy Qur'an, verse72).

When the Christ's lifetime came to an end, there followed a series of bitter events in the early centuries of Christianity.
