Abraham and the Trinity

Story of Abraham and the Trinity from “Scripture”

The story of Abraham and the Trinity from the “Scripture” – Torah and Bible, NIV Genesis 18:

The Three Visitors

1 The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. 2 Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.

3 He said, “If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by. 4 Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. 5 Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant.”

“Very well,” they answered, “do as you say.”

6 So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah. “Quick,” he said, “get three seahs of the finest flour and knead it and bake some bread.”

7 Then he ran to the herd and selected a choice, tender calf and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it. 8 He then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree.

9 “Where is your wife Sarah?” they asked him.

“There, in the tent,” he said.

10 Then one of them said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.”

Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him. 11 Abraham and Sarah were already very old, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing. 12 So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, “After I am worn out and my lord is old, will I now have this pleasure?”

13 Then the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ 14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son.”

15 Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, “I did not laugh.”

But he said, “Yes, you did laugh.”

NIV Genesis 18:1-15

Abraham Pleads for Sodom

16 When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. 17 Then the Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? 18 Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. 19 For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just, so that the Lord will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him.”

20 Then the Lord said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous 21 that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.”

22 The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the Lord. 23 Then Abraham approached him and said: “Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 24 What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? 25 Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?”

26 The Lord said, “If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”

27 Then Abraham spoke up again: “Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, 28 what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five people?”

“If I find forty-five there,” he said, “I will not destroy it.”

29 Once again he spoke to him, “What if only forty are found there?”

He said, “For the sake of forty, I will not do it.”

30 Then he said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?”

He answered, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”

31 Abraham said, “Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?”

He said, “For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it.”

32 Then he said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?”

He answered, “For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it.”

33 When the Lord had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home.

Story of Abraham and the Trinity from Koran

Story of Abraham and the Trinity by Muhammad in his Koran

A Story of the Three Visitors

11:69 And certainly did Our messengers come to Abraham with good tidings; they said, “Peace.”

He said, “Peace,” and did not delay in bringing [them] a roasted calf.

70 But when he saw their hands not reaching for it, he distrusted them and felt from them apprehension.

They said, “Fear not. We have been sent to the people of Lot.”

71 And his Wife was standing, and she smiled. Then We gave her good tidings of Isaac and after Isaac, Jacob.

72 She said, “Woe to me! Shall I give birth while I am an old woman and this, my husband, is an old man? Indeed, this is an amazing thing!”

73 They said, “Are you amazed at the decree of Allah? May the mercy of Allah and His blessings be upon you, people of the house. Indeed, He is Praiseworthy and Honorable.”

Koran 11:69-73

A Story of the Three Visitors

15:51 And inform them about the guests of Abraham, 52 When they entered upon him and said, “Peace.”

[Abraham] said, “Indeed, we are fearful of you.”

53 [The angels] said, “Fear not. Indeed, we give you good tidings of a learned boy.”

54 He said, “Have you given me good tidings although old age has come upon me? Then of what [wonder] do you inform?”

55 They said, “We have given you good tidings in truth, so do not be of the despairing.”

Koran 15:51-55

A Story of the Three Visitors

51:24 Has there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abraham?

25 When they entered upon him and said, “[We greet you with] peace.”

He answered, “[And upon you] peace; [you are] a people unknown.”

26 Then he went to his family and came with a fat [roasted] calf.

27 And placed it near them; he said, “Will you not eat?”

28 And he felt from them apprehension.

They said, “Fear not,” and gave him good tidings of a learned boy.

29 And his wife approached with a cry [of alarm] and struck her face and said, “[I am] a barren old woman!”

30 They said, “Thus has said your Lord; indeed, He is the Wise, the Knowing.”

31 [Abraham] said, “Then what is your business [here], O messengers?”

32 They said, “Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals 33 To send down upon them stones of clay, 34 Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors.”

35 So We brought out whoever was in them [i.e., the cities] of the believers.

36 And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.

37 And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.

Reminder of the Story of Abraham

16:120 Indeed, Abraham was a [comprehensive] leader, devoutly obedient to Allah, inclining toward truth, and he was not of those who associate others with Allah.

121 [He was] grateful for His favors. Allah chose him and guided him to a straight path.

122 And We gave him good in this world, and indeed, in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous.

123 Then We revealed to you, [O Muhammad], to follow the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth; and he was not of those who associate with Allah.

Koran 16:120-123

Summary

As you can see, Muhammad’s version is a bad summary of the story from “Scripture”, the Torah and the Bible, showing that Muhammad’s version is corrupt.

But, Infidel, it’s the Torah and Bible that are corrupt! Carefully read 11:74:

11:74 And when the fright had left Abraham and the good tidings had reached him, he began to argue with Us concerning the people of Lot.

Koran 11:74

But, but, Infidel, there’s nothing wrong with that! Read carefully: “Us”. This is before Muhammad was born and “Allah” is using plural “Us” instead of “I”. In Scripture, only God is with Abraham, the other two members of the trinity have already departed, and God uses “I”, not “We”. These aren’t “angels” or “messengers” – this is the Trinity, God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit at first together, then separate. We know Muhammad’s summary of Genesis 18 is wrong, and thus false.

And then, of course, there are the obvious repeats of the story of Abraham etc. all of which are different. Along with 2 repeats of the first part of the story and 4 repeats of the latter part of the story. Such corrupt repetition contradicts the notion of Allah being one, so Allah, Muhammad, Islam and Koran are false.
