50 'Gods'—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Their ex- planation, that they believe 'three' to be 'one', is really quite absurd. No sane person can be expected to accept such flawed logic, especially when the three Gods are consid- ered to be permanently self-existing and each is thought to be a complete God in Himself. What kind of arithmetic is it that shows them to be one, and where is it taught? Is there any logic or philosophy that can explain how beings which are permanently three can be counted as one? It is only a deception to argue that this is a mystery which human rea- son cannot understand, for human reason clearly understands that if there are three perfect Gods, they will have to be 'three' and not 'one'. This doctrine has not only been rejected by the Holy Quran, but also by the Torah. The latter, which was given to Moses as , contains no men- tion whatsoever of the Trinity. If it had contained such a teaching, the Jews could never have forgotten it, for they were enjoined to stick to the teaching of the Unity of God to the extent that each and every Jew was commanded to memorize it, to inscribe it on the door of his house, and to teach it to his children. In addition, Prophets of God con- tinued to appear among the Israelites and gave them the same teaching. It is, therefore, inconceivable that, despite such great emphasis and coming of so many Prophets, the Jews could have forgotten the teaching of Trinity and re- category of the 'dead'. If God had not been the Creator of the souls, He would never have used His power to show such distinction between the believers and the disbelievers. [Author]
