I never understood the trinity the entire time I was a Christian. I got so tired with getting the runaround whenever I asked pastors about it, I finally gave up the notion and only prayed to "God the Father." Alhamdulillah I found Islam at age 70.

I don't know how I reached this channel, subscribing this channel was one of the wise and useful decisions I ever made because my belief strengthens by every video, I am sure there will be many more like me, May Almighty reward Mr. Paul accordingly.

As a person who was born a Roman Catholic, let me say that all Christians accept this ridiculous concept of the Trinity is because we are trained from childhood to accept as true whatever the priests tell us. So we don't care to challenge these doctrines.

The truth is prevailing. The time is near. Ur efforts are priceless .May Allah bless u with more knowledge, wisdom,health,wealth and his closeness.

Brother Paul, Salam Alaikom, Much blessings to you. I always believed Jesus was not God. My English teacher sent me to detention. One day I was reading a book called jesus of Islam and by the time I finished reading the book, I picked my head only to realise, Jesus was standing in front of me. I saw him like I would see a another human being. He looked nothing like the painting of him in salvadori mundi or other images of him. He was a serious prophet and a messenger. (Peace be upon him). Its very sad Christian world turned a mighty message of a mighty prophet into a messages of idol worship by making attributes of trinity. Catholic Church sold the biggest lies in the universe. Peace from UK.

Dr Timothy Winter is one of the top scholars I truly respect, his intellectual integrity and scholarship is impressive.

That statement in tea short sip break was funny 😂 nice one Paul. May Allah SWT makes you firm in the straight path.

I have a question, why these wonderful types of videos are not so popular and well-known?

Congratulations for 30k subscribers😎

I know I've said it before in other comments but: I just love this channel! I always find your insight and your choice of subjects and books facinating!! Always beautiful ma chae ALLAH!

“An Englishman must have his tea.”

Thank you, Paul for reading this and bringing it to our attention. More please!

i like the indication that forgiveness is something so different from paying the debt you can't pay debt and be forgiven at the same time also i hope you enjoyed the tea

Great video Paul. Just now I was recommended your channel. Ma shaa Allah it looks great. Shaikh Abdul Hakim lectures are also full of great academic work.

Ultimate reality HAS to be simple, that really hit me because even before being muslim I always knew the concept of God had to be simple and it had to be something the unlearned and the learned can easily digest.

My eyes are tired and blurry, but you must have received your new camera, because the picture looks sharper 👍

Great insight paul, marvelous as always.

What a great start to a day it's 05:00 A.M. here, May Allah bless you abundantly for your work! Salaam!

Sir, could you make a video of how God came to be translated as Father in Western scriptures. How did this come about and who is responsible for it? I would be very happy to hear from you on this topic. I think this is a very, very important issue

Clicked the like button faster then a "missionary" commenting on this channel

The truth is always easy to be understood and crystal clear

A scholarly perspective... Amazing! Thank you for all the hard work Paul.

I wait for you to release your next video the minute I’m done watching your last released video. I appreciate what you do. You’re a plethora of knowledge. May God guide to the straight path always. I wish I can tag Ben Malik here.

I really love how the channel is growing 😊😊😊😊

Fascinating as usual. I admire you and your simple, easy to comprehend and convincing presentations. May Allah place all your time & efforts in your record of good deeds, amen.

By the way, your cup of tea was very refreshing and appreciated since I am from Sri Lanka

6:05 That one sentance melts my heart

30.5k subs, oo yeah we are growing. Keep going brother Paul, keep up the good work. May God bless you 😇

The new camera is 100% better 👍

To ALL Christians: God ( Allah) Created Jesus pbuh without a father miraculously, Just like he He created Adam pbuh without a father & mother, Just just He created Eve (Hawa) Out of Adam's RIB. Also in nature God created Asexual animals these Are all examples to Humans of Gods wonders he just says "BE" and it becomes.

I love how you always mention Dr Tim Winters/Abdal Hakim Murad opinions, I can sense you have massive respect for him. Hopefully one day we can see a discussion between you two haha

love from malaysia

thank you for bringing Timothy to the discussion -for me he is the leading Islamic thinker of this age -long life inshallah -i have two sheikhs from the west Tim and Rene Guenon (rahimahullah)

Hello sir, i hope you're doing well, Love from Canada.

Can you please share the link from which I can buy or read the text for myself?

New camera bro Paul..loving it ❤

The faith must not corrupted with pagan beliefs.. It has to very pure, that only one and only God out there.. nothing else.. May Allah guide your path toward a true faith, a straight path that descend to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Ismael, Jacob, Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus, and Muhammad.. God bless you.. 🙏🏻

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and knowledge on this subject. It's one of the infamous dogmas that cannot withstand real criticism but blindly traps those unwilling to question anything. Sheep led by the wrong shepherd. 👍🏽😘

Another wonderful video, thanks Paul.

Really appreciate your sharing brother Paul. I tried to read but can't understand much. This channel really educational

hello blogging theology You should try to read Surah kahf ( صورة الكهف ) every friday because it's said it opens the door of wisdom and relaxation between Fridays

Not even they get it. The amount of definitions they attach to it is astonishing. Each contradicts the rest

Beautiful & compassionate narrations at the end. Thank you for sharing. Does Tim Winter provide the references to these 2 amazing hadiths you quoted?

Trinity in a nutshell, “Makes each sect of Christianity to call each other heretics”

AWWW YEAAAAH!!! 30K + subs wooo lets go!! 100 K come on fam.

Paul you are lucky that Almighty blessed you with wisdom and knowledge 📚

Thank you for putting out such amazing content

Congratulations for 100k ❤❤ my love for you.

Absolutely superb!

Brother Paul, Allah swt has already said himself in the holy Quran that he has no children and no family members, these Christians who believe in trinity Must be deluded and be completely gone in their heads...Allah swt is to be believed and trusted not man, Allah swt has already got everything he needs, he doesn't have the need of anything especially a son, the throne of Allah swt is only for him alone, No one else, it's not like that he's gonna retire, he's there for the eternity.... Allah huackbar...

Salaam alleikum waramatullahi wabarakatu.. Kindly bring Bro Tim Murad on your channel. Thanks for your great work.

Hey Paul! Can you please also share your content on Spotify as podcasts please? Thank you in advance :) Peace be with you

Oh, my God! SUBAHAANALLAAH! How fascinating your explanations are!!! You are a genius, actually, with the help of Allah The Almighty! May Allah the Almighty bless you!

Trinity in a nutshell : A triangle which is actually a circle. Try explaining that.

Isaiah 9:6......."For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given. And the government shall be upon his shoulder. And he shall be called Wonderful, Counsello,r the Mighty God, the everlasting Father. The Prince of Peace."

Ezekiel 18 20 the one who sins is the one will die the child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child. The righteousness of the rightrous will be credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them

3:11 Oh so that's where the hunger games salute comes from. Man, Hollywood so is evil. It's staggering. Here's my response to that ☝️ 🇧🇦🇽🇰

I need to read the book again and again for couples of time to understand it's content. But listening to bro paul just amazingly easy to digest... Hmmmm... I think I need him to read all the books 😂

Great Paul 👌 Very informative and interesting especially the concept of paying a debt via atonement and forgiveness !!! STAY ALWAYS BLESSED Imran Zaidi Karachi Pakistan

Holy spirit is Gabriel who ALLAH supported Nabi Issa with.

Maashaallah brother

11:37 I'm not making fun of you Paul but that really did sound like "Sir Almeida, verse 75" 😅

Thank you for sharing, a very well presented explanation - should leave no doubt in any one's minds - especially when it was read in such a crisp and clear manner. Inshallah look forward to some good videos from you this Ramadan. All those who like Tim Winter (Abdal Hakim Murad) should surely check out the college he launched Cambridge Muslim College. they have some great online courses too.

Superb. Great source of information.

You are one of the greatest scholars🙂🌷❤

You are entitled at least to the "King Faizal Award". But you do this channel for the sake of Allah The Almighty we know for sure!

(لَّقَدْ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ثَالِثُ ثَلَٰثَةٍۢ ۘ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَٰهٍ إِلَّآ إِلَٰهٌ وَٰحِدٌ ۚ وَإِن لَّمْ يَنتَهُواْ عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ لَيَمَسَّنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنْهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ) المائدة 73

ترجمة إلا العربية؟؟

haha, love the nonchalant tea sip there

Thank you for your excellent scholarly research into this very important subject. This confirms how the Gospel of Jesus was corrupted thus requiring the renewal of the truth.

Terima kasih atas videonya. Terbaik.....

What are your thoughts on Orthodox Christianity, where atonement isn’t necessarily a doctrine at all? (The focus is theosis)

We reject the trinity and following the real teachings of Jesus and worship only our father, our creator, our only lord...ALLAH SWA

I like the tea comment :D an English man must have his tea

May Allah bless you and increase your faith ..your blog is very enlightening

Paul I have one question please can you answer I seen you before in speakers corner you have been jumping ships and tweeting msgs not so good about Islam and now videos like this I'm kind of confused if you could please answer cos you was Muslim then you was a ex Muslim this happened a few times please clarify thanks nowt wrong with these videos on your channel

Almighty condemned trinity in Quran itself. This is not derived Muslim belief but a direct Divine condemnation not mere a muslim misunderstanding of trinity

Good one from Dr Tim , thanks, Paul. Bit of geometry and algebra required to see the concept of Trinity in simple terms An English evangelist also used this geometric diagram and Jay Smith quoted the algebra: simply 1x1x1= 1. QED.

Can u do a video on the sacrifice of Ishmael??

Paul still really enjoying your videos. Was wondering whether you were going to make any concern and your journey into Islam and testing the claims of Muhammad And the Quran et cetera

I keep on promoting this incredible channel Insya Allah.

AS A MUSLIM ... I WATCH YOUR CHANNEL AND I LIKE IT .... MAY ALLAH GUIDE YOU .

As a Turkish Muslim, i can confirm that Qizilbashes are or (should say) could be a problem. We call them as Kızılbaş in Turkish and sometimes we shorten the word like Alevi. They do not perform prayers, not fasting, not caring about forbidden in Islam that much. When i asked one of my Alevi friend why they do not perform prayers, her response was that they cannot because Ali(ra) was killed during his prayer🤷🏻‍♀️and using this word in Turkey could also be a problem, because of politics issues(takes too long to explain).

Thanks, Paul, for bringing to light this piercing lecture from Prof Winter. Trinity: revelation or human intellectual construction?

I remember the first time I met Abdal Hakim Murad (Timothy J Winter) in the Divinity Department at Cambridge University. He was in his office pouring over a book by the renewed NT scholar Geza Vermes. I did not ask him why he was reading Vermes but I suspect it was for an article he wrote later about the Trinity. I should say that I do not find Abdal Hakim Murad's views regarding the Trinity and the Atonement very convincing. If one accepts the Qur'an _a priori_ , as the absolute unquestioned axiomatic starting point for ones belief and practice, then of course one is going to reject the incarnation, the trinity and the atonement, but of course such an _a priori_ position is not going to be remotely convincing to non-Muslims. So what reasons does Abdal Hakim Murad adduce against these specifically Christian beliefs? To begin with I think that Abdal Hakim Murad is _only_ attacking a Magisterial Reformation doctrine of the Atonement, which is basically a form of penal substitution; but I would argue that most Christians (both now and historically) do not believe in penal substitution, and certainly the most renowned theologians (except Luther and Calvin) do not support it. Josef Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI), who can hardly be described as a revisionist or a liberal, wrote that many assume that "Christian faith in the Cross imagines a God whose unrelenting righteousness demanded a human sacrifice, the sacrifice of his own Son, and one turns away in horror from a righteousness whose sinister wrath makes the message of love incredible". (1) Ratzinger acknowledges that many think of the cross as demanding the sacrifice of God's own son to appease his wrath and (2) and that such a concept of "righteousness" leads one to "turn away in horror". So far Ratzinger and Abdal Hakim agree. However, Ratzinger goes on to say: "This picture is as false as it is widespread. In the Bible the Cross does not appear as part of a mechanism of injured right; on the contrary, in the Bible the Cross is quite the reverse: it is the expression of the radical nature of love that gives itself completely, of the process in which one is what one does and does what one is; it is the expression of a life that is completely being for others". Herbert McCabe OP, also a renowned Catholic theologian, says that penal substitution implies an "infantile" conception of God and makes us more compassionate than God. Rowan Williams, Sarah Coakley, David Bentley Hart, Ilaria Ramelli, etc., all agree with Ratzinger and McCabe that penal substitution is unbiblical and false. Moreover, I would argue that it is not accepted by the Catholic Church, the Orthodox Churches, the Coptic Churches, and by most Anglicans. So, Abdal Hakim Murad is _only_ really criticising a certain kind of Magisterial Reformation Protestantism descending principally from John Calvin. With regard to the Trinity, I think it is best to commence with the Incarnation, since if the Incarnation is true then the Trinity is easier to accept. It seems to me that Abdal Hakim Murad is _not_ arguing that the Trinity is logically incoherent. But if it is not logically incoherent (or logically impossible) then it is at least logically possible. Now, it seems to me that the Incarnation is logically possible- or, in other words, that it doesn't contain a contradiction. You will say, perhaps, that God and man exclude each other _a priori_ : Christ cannot be both truly God and truly man simultaneously, just as a square and a circle cannot simultaneously coexist as a single object (a square-circle). This logic might appear convincing at first glance but it is really not convincing at all. And this is because x and y only exclude each other if x and y occupy the same logical space. There can be no such thing as a square-circle because both are shapes and shapes occupy the same logical space. And it is the same with such absurdities as man-tiger or man-snake because both are animals and therefore occupy the same logical space. But do God and man occupy that same logical space, such that God-man becomes logically impossible? Clearly not. I think all monotheists agree that God is _not in any of our categories whatsoever_ . (Surah Ikhlas: "Allahus Samad": Allah is absolutely unique). Since he is not in any of our categories whatsoever it follows that he does not occupy the same logical space as man; and therefore there is no _a priori_ contradiction in the notion of the God-man (as there is with square-circle or man-tiger). Now, needless to say, that does not _prove_ that the incarnation is true; it only removes the idea that it involves a contradiction. It seems to me that basis of Abdal Hakim's denial of the Incarnation and the Trinity, aside from his _a priori_ commitment to the Qur'an, is that he thinks that the Incarnation is unscriptural. Now, in response to this I want to draw your attention to the fact that again Abdal Hakim is criticising the Magisterial Reformation more than Christianity _per se_ . The Reformers advanced the unscriptural doctrine of _sola scriptura_ as a basis for doctrine once they had rejected the authority of the Pope and the tradition. Therefore, all doctrines much be (more or less) explicitly contained within scripture for the Reformers. However, the Catholics, the Eastern Orthodox, the Copts and the Anglicans (for the most part) do not accept _sola scriptura_ . I think that the finest theologians would agree with Abdal Hakim that the Incarnation is _not_ explicitly stated in scripture; but I think that many would acknowledge that it is implied. In the Gospel of John, for instance, Thomas says to the risen Christ "My Lord and my God". Its important to understand the Greek to comprehend the full significance of this exclamation. The Greek says "ho kyrios mu ho theos mu". Thus the Greek for "lord" and for "God" here contains the definite article (the lord, the God). When the definite article is applied to "lord" and "God" in Greek it means God in the absolute sense of that term. For instance, in the Septuagint YHWH is replaced by "ho kyrios", whereas other "lords" are referred to _without_ the definite article. So, it does look as though Thomas is saying to Christ: you are God. There are other hints and suggestions in the NT as well; but since this comment is getting rather long I better move to another point. Professor Larry Hurtado, amongst others, has shown that the earliest Christians _worshipped_ Jesus: that means the apostles worshipped Jesus alongside the One God of Israel. Thus, the worship of Jesus is not a later Hellenic aberration, but a first century Jewish phenomena. And, finally, one could argue that the development of doctrine from the originally "seeds" contained within the belief and practice of the early Christians is legitimate. One can see how Nicea and Chalcedon might _logically_ develop from (1) the belief that Christ and the Holy Spirit save us (2) that the early church worshipped Christ alongside God (3) and that there are innumerable hints and suggestions in scripture that Christ was more than a man. Complex though these issues are, and inadequate though my response is, yet nonetheless I think this might be the _beginning_ of a response.

I always wanted to know the answer of that question, what happens to Christian infants who die . As per the Vatican website , there is a document answering this questions and in a nutshell the Christian fathers say that unbaptized infants go to hell but the Vatican thinks that “most probably” they won’t go to hell and this is what they hope but not confirmed . What caught my attention is the Vatican statement “There is much that simply has not been revealed to us” and they refer to John 16:12 . 12“I have much more to tell you, but now it would be too much for you to bear. 13 When, however, the Spirit comes, who reveals the truth about God, he will lead you into all the truth. If I could help the Vatican I would answer them that the spirit of truth came and gave us the Muslims the answer for that ! Part of the article : So great was Augustine's authority in the West, however, that the Latin Fathers (e.g., Jerome, Fulgentius, Avitus of Vienne, and Gregory the Great) did adopt his opinion. Gregory the Great asserts that God condemns even those with only original sin on their souls; even infants who have never sinned by their own will must go to “everlasting torments”. He cites Job 14:4-5 (LXX), John 3:5, and Ephesians 2:3 on our condition at birth as “children of wrath”.[42] End of the article : Our conclusion is that the many factors that we have considered above give serious theological and liturgical grounds for hope that unbaptised infants who die will be saved and enjoy the Beatific Vision. We emphasise that these are reasons for prayerful hope, rather than grounds for sure knowledge. There is much that simply has not been revealed to us (cf. Jn 16:12). We live by faith and hope in the God of mercy and love who has been revealed to us in Christ, and the Spirit moves us to pray in constant thankfulness and joy (cf. 1 Thess 5:18). www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/cti_documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_20070419_un-baptised-infants_en.html

That was indeed of interest, thank you very much Sir. I began pondering as you were speaking that the modern day Christian concept of Jesus being sacrificed so that mankind may be forgiven is quite paganistic. It implies that actual blood sacrifices are required for forgiveness. The Islamic concept requires one's recognition of the sin, sincere repentance, having the intention to never commit that sin again and of course asking the creator to then forgive one. Just thinking out loud... Does that make sense?

1st!

Good video, just subscribed your channel 😀 In the Bible itself Jesus pbuh denies that he is God. Well, I think we all agree, that God knows everything and God does not lie. When Jesus was asked by a man, "when is the day of jugement", Jesus answered: " I do not know, only God knows." So I think Jesus says very clearly in the bible that he is not God.

Very powerful brain brother Paul. I like it from Mauritius.

Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1469-1536), a brilliant European scholar whose Greek New Testament work laid the basis for many translations to come, excluded those words from his first two editions (1516 and 1519) of the New Testament because none of the Greek manuscripts he consulted contained them. He was later pressured by the Catholic church to include them in his third edition of 1522. This series of Greek texts originating from Erasmus became known as the Textus Receptus, the translation-base used for the William Tyndale, KJV, and many other Bibles.

I prepared my tea after I saw his tea 😂 Best explaination about it is Jesus had those who exaggerated him in Antioch and called themselves "Christians" far away from Jerusalem. and Ali had those who exaggerated him faraway from the originated city of Mecca and Medina and cllarf themselves Alawites.

Please do look into Dr umar faruq finite points to the infinte paul!!! Its on yt

Should view or read videos and books by Dr. Bart Ekhman...

That PVT vedio doesn't work, Sheikh!

I used to ask the priests, why do we have so many statues in the Church? They said, we only venerate them. I was not allowed to read the Bible. I said, why not? Answer, you will misinterpret it. So I went and bought myself one. What is the role of the Holy Spirit? Oh, It is leading the Church.

Hi Paul if it doesn't sound right then it's not it's just as simple as that may God bless you more

“We need not hesitate to declare our conviction that the disputed words were not written by St. John: that they were originally brought into Latin copies in Africa from the margin, where they had been placed as a pious and orthodox gloss on ver. 8: that from the Latin they crept into two or three late Greek codices, and thence into the printed Greek text, a place to which they had no rightful claim.” - A Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament (Cambridge, 1883, third ed.), p. 654.

Trinity is *ICE, WATER, STEAM* All we need to put ICE on a burning stove. There you get WATER. Boil it until STEAM comes out. Mix some tea leaves, because remember *An English man must have his tea* ;)
