“It is to be believed because it is absurd”- Tertullian

greybismillah
By Ibn Saad

The following quote comes from an early church leader in his work, De Carne Christi. I was reminded of this saying,when I came across a video of a Christian attempting to explain the Trinity. The video is below:

Now let us compare this ‘mess’ with the concept of God in Islam:

Surah Ikhlas(112)
112.001 Say: He is Allah (SWT), the One and Only;
112.002 Allah (SWT), the Eternal, Absolute;
112.003 He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
112.004 And there is none like unto Him.

For those who still adhere to the Trinitarian doctrine, I remind you that:

God is not the author of confusion( 1 Corinthians 14:33)

    My friend Rev Samuel Roberts writes:

    Tertullian was a complete wacko, however this does not stop the hypocrite Christians from venerating him, nay it only encourages them lol. He followed a man who claimed to be the paraklete and 2 women who claimed to be the paraklete’s prophetesses lol.

    Asalam-alaikum,

    Actually the funny thing is that I think I’ve reached a point where the Trinity makes sense to me. I mean, to be fair, it isn’t like the Pope is a moron who doesn’t know his arithmetic. I still think that the Trinity is false and contradictory. But I feel like I have some sense for why the doctrine exists.

    Anyway… I think the above person is ajoke. Literally. He’s probably making fun of fundamentalist Christians.. I don’t think he actually is one. I think that is part of why he has the mask on.
