Refutation of the Divinity of Christ — Page 15
Christian Arguments for the Divinity of Christ & Trinity 15 And it is absolutely clear that the son is the equal of the father in what is essential, but because the son is in need of the father to be the son, so if the Messiah, peace be upon him, had been the Son of God Almighty—God forbid—then he would have been the equal of God in His Self-Sufficiency and total lack of any need, but being the Son, he cannot be considered as being free from needs. Then, the Being of the Exalted Maker is not composite because one who is composite is in need of the one who puts it together. And since He is not made up of various parts, how did the Son separate from Him? Then again, being a son calls for separation, whereas being an Eternal Son is opposed to separation. Christian Arguments for the Divinity of Christ & Trinity All the arguments that the Christians have presented in support of the Divinity of Christ and the Trinity, which is the fountain- head of the Divinity of Christ, are in their entirety based simply on believing and are, thus, weak and worthless. I shall state these arguments and present a refutation of them with the help of God, who is free from all defects. These are the most potent arguments for the Divinity of Christ and for the Trinity, which is the origin for the Divinity of Christ.
