In this compelling episode of The Deen Show, Dr. Laurence Brown, a former atheist turned Muslim with a Doctor of Divinity degree and PhD in religious studies, presents the top 10 reasons why the Christian doctrine of the Trinity is not valid. Dr. Brown’s unique background as someone considered a Christian scholar makes this discussion especially significant for anyone sincerely seeking the truth about the nature of God and what Jesus, peace be upon him, actually taught.
The Top 10 Reasons the Trinity Falls Apart
- Reason 10: The word “Trinity” is nowhere to be found in the Bible
- Reason 9: The Harper Collins Encyclopedia of the Bible states that “the doctrine of the Trinity as such is not revealed in either the Old Testament or the New Testament”
- Reason 8: The doctrine was invented by Tertullian, a lawyer in Carthage, around 220 CE — over 200 years after Jesus
- Reason 7: Christian scholars themselves describe the Trinity as an “evolved doctrine,” not a revealed one
- Reasons 6-1: Biblical passages used to support the Trinity are metaphorical, not literal. When Jesus said “I and the Father are one,” this is the same language used for the disciples being “one” with each other and with God
“The doctrine of the Trinity was dreamed up by Tertullian, a lawyer in Carthage, around 200 years after the mission of Jesus Christ. This was not a doctrine written into the Bible — it was derived by a lawyer.”
What Islam Teaches About Jesus and the Oneness of God
Dr. Brown’s research led him from atheism through Christianity and finally to Islam, where the message is beautifully simple: God is One, undivided, and unlike anything in His creation. Jesus, peace be upon him, was a mighty messenger of God who called people to pure monotheism, just as every prophet before and after him did. The Quran directly addresses this matter, stating: “Do not say Trinity. Desist, it will be better for you. Your God is One God.”
“It is interesting to note that the word Trinity is not in the Bible, but it is in the Quran — the verbatim Word of God — and it says: do not say Trinity. It will be better for you. Your God is One God.”
This episode is essential viewing for anyone who values truth and wants to understand what Jesus actually preached versus what was added to Christianity centuries later. Dr. Brown’s books are available on Amazon, and his websites leveltruth.com and ehtescroll.com offer further resources. Islam invites all people to worship the One God alone, the same God that Jesus, Moses, and Abraham worshipped, and to never associate partners with Him in worship.
