TRUE CHRISTIANITY AND HOW IT LEADS T O IS L A M 5 “the Lord our God is one Lord”. (Deuteronomy 6:4) If Trinity, which is so much stressed by Christianity today, had its basis on facts, it would have been explicitly stated in the Old Testament. On the contrary, the teachings of Moses urge us to believe in one God. Jesus earnestly championed for this unity of God, as the New Testament quotes: “And Jesus answered him. The first of all the commandments is, Hear O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. This is the first commandment”. (Mark 12:29 - 30) Moreover, Jesus said: “And behold, one came and said unto him, ‘Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?’ And he said unto him. ‘Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is God, but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandme nts'”. (Matthew 19:16 - 17) Thus, Jesus strongly believed in the absolute oneness of God, and enjoined others to believe in it.
