MUBALIGH KRISTIAN SISTER IRENA HANDONO MEMILIH ISLAM SETELAH MENGKAJI SEDALAM-DALAMNYA SOAL AGAMA MANA YANG MENJADI LANDASAN HIDUP.
Sister Irena Handono was a trained learned Christian Catholic Nun. She was given permission to study Islam by the Priest. Studying the Quran, she came across the Chapter in the Quran [Surah Al Ikhlas] mentioning the Unity of God. This Unity of God is conflicting to what she was been taught in Church - The trinity of God.
She had several dialogs with her Priest, during the Theology Class. Deep inside her heart that GOD IS ONE AND ONLY ONE, is the truth.
She argued that historically, Jesus was appointed as God during the Council of Nieca in 325 AD. Before that Jesus was considered by Christian as a man and messenger of God as the Muslims believe.
Studying in the Quran and the Bible in depth, also having several intelligent discussions with her superior Priests, she made a conclusion that Islam is the right path to God.
Trinity

This article is about the Christian Trinity. For other uses, see Trinity (disambiguation) and Holy Trinity (disambiguation).
The Christian doctrine of the Trinity teaches the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead.[1] The doctrine states that God is the Triune God, existing as three persons, or in the Greek hypostases,[2] but one being.[3] (Personhood in the Trinity does not match the common Western understanding of "person" as used in the English language—it does not imply an "individual, self-actualized center of free will and conscious activity."[4]:pp. 185-6. To the ancients, personhood "was in some sense individual, but always in community as well."[4]:p.186 Each person is understood as having the one identical essence or nature, not merely similar natures.) Since the beginning of the third century[5] the doctrine of the Trinity has been stated as "the one God exists in three Persons and one substance, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit."[6] Trinitarianism, belief in the Trinity, is a mark of Roman Catholicism, Eastern and Oriental Orthodoxy as well as of the "mainstream traditions" arising from the Protestant Reformation, such as Anglicanism, Methodism, Lutheranism and Presbyterianism. The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church describes the Trinity as "the central dogma of Christian theology".[6]
This doctrine contrasts with Nontrinitarian positions which include Binitarianism (one deity/two persons), Unitarianism (one deity/one person), the Oneness belief held by certain Pentecostal groups, Modalism, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' view of the Godhead as three separate beings who are one in purpose rather than essence.
The New Testament does not have a formal doctrine of the Trinity and nowhere discusses the Trinity as such. However, Southern Baptist theologian Frank Stagg emphasizes that the New Testament does repeatedly speak of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit to "compel a trinitarian understanding of God."[7] The doctrine developed from the biblical language used in New Testament passages such as the baptismal formula in Matthew 28:19 and took substantially its present form by the end of the 4th century as a result of controversies in which some theologians, when speaking of God, used terms such as "person", "nature", "essence", "substance", terms that had never been used by the Apostolic Fathers, in a way that the Church authorities considered to be erroneous.[6][8][9][10]
Some deny that the doctrine that developed in the fourth century was based on Christian ideas, and hold instead that it was a deviation from Early Christian teaching on the nature of God[11] or even that it was borrowed from a pre-Christian conception of a divine trinity held by Plato.[12]

COMPARE WITH SURAH AL IKHLAS.
IT WAS MENTIONED THE ONLY GOD.
Al-Ikhlas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Al-Ikhlas (Arabic: سورة الإخلاص) (The Fidelity), aka At-tawhid (سورة التوحيد) (Monotheism) ute unity, consisting of 4 ayat. Al-Ikhlas means "the purity" or "the refining", meaning to remain pure and faithful or a state of purging one's soul of non-Islamic beliefs, such as paganism and polytheism.
Introduction and Summary to Surah 112- Al Ikhlas
This early Makkan Surah sums up in a few terse words the divinity and oneness of God - often professed, this is not a word of human being. These are the words of God - the Almighty. The whole Quran is the words of Almighty Allah (translated: God).
Surah Ikhlas is known as a Protective Surah.
Arabic:
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ١
اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ ٢
لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ ٣
وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ ٤
Transliteration:
Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem
1 Qul huwa Allahu ahad
2 Allahus-samad
3 Lam yalid walam yoolad
4 Walam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad
Translation: Surah 112: Al-Ikhlas (The Unity, Sincerity, Oneness Of God)
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
1. SAY: HE IS GOD, THE ONE AND ONLY;
2. GOD, THE ETERNAL, ABSOLUTE;
3. HE DOES NOT BEGET, NOR IS HE BEGOTTEN;
4. AND THERE IS NONE COMPARABLE TO HIM.
