A hard-hitting and informed discussion of the Trinity doctrine. Muslims follow the understanding of God as taught by Jesus. We have a responsibility to remind our Christian friends of this fact. I like Dr Laurence Brown, not least because when he discusses Christian doctrine and the history of the Church he gets his facts right (unlike some other Muslims involved in Dawah – who shall remain nameless).

“as taught by Jesus.”
How do you know, let alone accept anything Jesus taught if the injeel was corrupted?

I agree with much of mainstream biblical scholarship in the view that Jesus was a Torah-observant Jew. As such, the sayings in the gospels (NB not the same thing as the Injeel) that portray him as such are likely to be historical. So here we have Jesus reaffirming Jewish monotheism in Mark 12,
One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one’.
This is also the most important belief in Islam too.

So what is the injeel then? Where is it if not in the canonical gospels?

The original gospel of Jesus can be reconstructed from the gospels. It is focused on the spiritual and moral renewal of Israel. It is quite different from the gospel preached by most Christians today. Jesus’ message was theocentric rather than Christocentric. Forgiveness and justification had nothing to do with a death in a cross. A message very similar to Islam.

Can you show me this reconstructable injeel? If you know what is in it and what it focused on, you should be able to show it to us, correct?

Historians have a pretty good idea what the gospel of Jesus was like.
I would recommend you read the following book by a great Jesus scholar from Oxford, renowned biblical scholar Professor Geza Vermes, The Authentic Gospel of Jesus

I’m not interested in what he says. I want you to show me this injeel that you insist exists. Since we both know you cannot, it only goes to prove how unconvincing and devastatingly false the Koran actually is
