1 · One God Allah Almighty · Creator of All
English

I believe in one God,

Allah almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible.

Latin

Credo in unum Deum,

Allah omnipoténtem,

factórem caeli et terrae,

visibílium ómnium et invisibílium.

Greek

Πιστεύω εἰς ἕνα Θεόν,

Ἀλλὰχ παντοκράτορα,

ποιητὴν οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς,

ὁρατῶν τε πάντων καὶ ἀοράτων.

2 · Messiah Jesus Christ Son of Man · Born of Elohim
English

I believe in Messiah Jesus Christ,

the only Begotten Son of Man,

born of Elohim before all ages.

Good from Good, Light from Light,

Truth from Truth,

begotten and made, consubstantial with his Father;

through him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation

he came down from heaven,

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

and became man.

For our sake he self-sacrificed under Pontius Pilate,

he suffered death and was buried,

and rose again on the third day

in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven.

and is seated at the right hand of his Father.

He will come again in glory

to join the living and the dead

and his kingdom will have no end.

Latin

Credo in Messíam Iesum Christum,

Fílium Hóminis unigénitum,

ex Elohim natum ante ómnia saécula.

Bonum de Bono, Lumen de Lúmine,

Verum de Vero,

génitum et factum, consubstantiálem Patri suo;

per quem ómnia facta sunt.

Qui propter nos hómines et propter nostram salútem

descéndit de caelis,

et de Spíritu Sancto incarnátus est ex María Vírgine,

et homo factus est.

Pro nobis seípsum immolávit sub Póntio Piláto,

mortem passus est et sepúltus est,

et resurréxit tértia die

secúndum Scriptúras.

Ascéndit in caelum,

et sedet ad déxteram Patris sui.

Íterum ventúrus est cum glória

coniúngere vivos et mórtuos,

et regni eius non erit finis.

Greek

Πιστεύω εἰς Μεσσίαν Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν,

τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου τὸν μονογενῆ,

τὸν ἐξ Ἐλωχὶμ γεννηθέντα πρὸ πάντων τῶν αἰώνων.

Ἀγαθὸν ἐξ Ἀγαθοῦ, Φῶς ἐκ Φωτός,

Ἀλήθειαν ἐξ Ἀληθείας,

γεννηθέντα καὶ ποιηθέντα, ὁμοούσιον τῷ Πατρὶ αὐτοῦ·

δι’ οὗ τὰ πάντα ἐγένετο.

Τὸν δι’ ἡμᾶς τοὺς ἀνθρώπους καὶ διὰ τὴν ἡμετέραν σωτηρίαν

κατελθόντα ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν

καὶ σαρκωθέντα ἐκ Πνεύματος Ἁγίου καὶ Μαρίας τῆς Παρθένου

καὶ ἐνανθρωπήσαντα.

Ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἑαυτὸν θυσιάσαντα ἐπὶ Ποντίου Πιλάτου,

καὶ παθόντα καὶ ταφέντα,

καὶ ἀναστάντα τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ

κατὰ τὰς Γραφάς.

Καὶ ἀνελθόντα εἰς τοὺς οὐρανοὺς

καὶ καθεζόμενον ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ Πατρὸς αὐτοῦ.

Καὶ πάλιν ἐρχόμενον μετὰ δόξης

συνάψαι ζῶντας καὶ νεκρούς·

οὗ τῆς βασιλείας οὐκ ἔσται τέλος.

3 · The Holy Spirit The Breath · Giver of Life
English

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the breath, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.

Latin

Credo in Spíritum Sanctum, flatum, vivificántem,

qui ex Patre Filióque procédit,

qui cum Patre et Fílio adorátur et conglorificátur,

qui locútus est per prophétas.

Greek

Πιστεύω εἰς τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον, τὴν πνοήν, τὸ ζωοποιόν,

τὸ ἐκ τοῦ Πατρὸς καὶ τοῦ Υἱοῦ ἐκπορευόμενον,

τὸ σὺν Πατρὶ καὶ Υἱῷ συμπροσκυνούμενον καὶ συνδοξαζόμενον,

τὸ λαλῆσαν διὰ τῶν προφητῶν.

4 · Churches, Baptisms & Resurrection The Life of the World to Come
English

I believe in all, holy, catholic and apostolic Churches.

I confess all Baptisms for the forgiveness of sins

and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead

and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Latin

Credo in omnes, sanctas, cathólicas et apostólicas Ecclésias.

Confíteor ómnia baptísmata in remissiónem peccatórum,

et exspécto resurrectiónem mortuórum,

et vitam ventúri saéculi. Amen.

Greek

Πιστεύω εἰς πάσας, ἁγίας, καθολικὰς καὶ ἀποστολικὰς Ἐκκλησίας.

Ὁμολογῶ πάντα τὰ βαπτίσματα εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν,

καὶ προσδοκῶ ἀνάστασιν νεκρῶν,

καὶ ζωὴν τοῦ μέλλοντος αἰῶνος. Ἀμήν.

II Prologue · Hebrew & English

YHWH

בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית יְהוָ֥ה ויְהוָ֥ה לְיַד אֱלֹהִ֑ים ואֱלֹהִ֑ים יְהוָ֥ה

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָ֥ה בָּשָׂר אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה מִן אֱלֹהִ֑ים

וְזֶה הַשֵׁם יְהוָ֥ה המָשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ בן מִרְיָם

In the beginning was YHWH, and YHWH was with Elohim, and Elohim was YHWH

And said YHWH flesh I am that I am from Elohim

And this is the name of YHWH; the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary

III Doctrine · Hebrew, Greek & Arabic

High Angel

The Shema expresses the oneness of God through connecting the divine names Yahweh and Elohim, and stating that Yahweh is one.

Debarim 6:4 Hebrew · Transliteration · English

שמע ישראל יהוה אלהינו יהוה אחד

Shemma Yisrael, Yahweh Elhohinu , Yahweh Ahad

Hear Isreal, Yahweh is Elohim, Yahweh is One.

The coming of Jesus Chirst, Yeshua, showed that Yahweh was not only one but also three, as a trinity; Yahweh is a trinity of Elohim, Yeshua, and Ruah. Yet, the oneness of god was never in question;

Mark 12:28-29 Greek · English

Καὶ προσελθὼν εἷς τῶν γραμματέων, ἀκούσας αὐτῶν συνζητούντων, εἰδὼς ὅτι καλῶς ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς, ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτόν Ποία ἐστὶν ἐντολὴ πρώτη πάντων;

And one of the scribes came and heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

ἀπεκρίθη ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι Πρώτη ἐστίν Ἄκουε, Ἰσραήλ, Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν Κύριος εἷς ἐστιν,

Jesus answered the first is this; Hear, O Israel, the Lord is God, the Lord is one,

It was Allah that created Yahweh as one being in a trinity of persons.
3:59 Arabic · English

إِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسَىٰ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ ءَادَمَ ۖ خَلَقَهُۥ مِن تُرَابٍۢ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ

Indeed, the example of Jesus in the sight of Allah is like that of Adam. He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be!” And he was!

4:171 Arabic · English

يـأهل ٱلكتـب لا تغلوا فى دينكم ولا تقولوا على ٱلله إلا ٱلحق إنما ٱلمسيح عيسى ٱبن مريم رسول ٱلله وكلمته ألقىها إلى مريم وروح منه فـامنوا بٱلله ورسله ولا تقولوا ثلـثة ٱنتهوا خيرا لكم إنما ٱلله إلـه وحد سبحـنه أن يكون له ولد له ما فى ٱلسمـوت وما فى ٱلأرض وكفى بٱلله وكيلا

O People of the Book! Do not go to extremes regarding your faith; say nothing about Allah except the truth. Only the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was a messenger of Allah and His Word conveyed to Mary and a Spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers and do not say, “Trinity.” Stop!—for your own good. Allah is only One God. Glory be to Him! He is far above having a son! To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs.

Summary of Doctrine

  • Jesus Christ is the Messiah, a Prophet, the Word and the Spirit.
  • The God worshiped by Jews and Christians is Allah.
  • They used names like YHWH, but their understanding is incomplete.
  • The coming of Jesus, peace be upon him, demonstrated that the expression of oneness within the Shema is incomplete; YHWH is also a trinity
  • YHWH is not a god but a created instrument used by Allah for revelation.
  • Jews/Christians are truly worshiping Allah, but through an incomplete lens.
IV The Passion & The Seven Words

On the Cross

Show

The night before Jesus Christ prays for any other way

Matthew 26:39

καὶ προελθὼν μικρὸν ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωποναὐτοῦ προσευχόμενος καὶ λέγων, Πάτερ μου, εἰδυνατόν ἐστιν, παρελθάτω ἀπ' ἐμοῦ τὸ ποτήριοντοῦτο· πλὴν οὐχ ὡς ἐγὼ θέλω ἀλλ' ὡς σύ.

He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you.

Jesus Christ carries his own cross

John 19:17

καὶβαστάζων ἑαυτῷ τὸν σταυρὸν ἐξῆλθεν εἰς τὸνλεγόμενον Κρανίου Τόπον, ὃ λέγεται Ἑβραϊστὶ Γολγοθα

And bearing his cross, he went out to what is called the Site of the Skull, called in Hebrew Golgotha.

Jesus Christ’s death on the cross was not a killing or execution by the court, Roman or Sanhedrin

4:157

وَقَوْلِهِمْ إِنَّا قَتَلْنَا ٱلْمَسِيحَ عِيسَى ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ وَمَا صَلَبُوهُ وَلَـٰكِن شُبِّهَ لَهُمْ ۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ فِيهِ لَفِى شَكٍّۢ مِّنْهُ ۚ مَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِلَّا ٱتِّبَاعَ ٱلظَّنِّ ۚ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ يَقِينًۢا - ١٥٧

And for saying, “Indeed, we killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah,” when they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but it was made to appear so to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And not did they kill him, undeniably.

Jesus Christ is brought before his mother [1]

John 19:26-27

Ἰησοῦς οὖν ἰδὼν τὴν μητέρα καὶ τὸν μαθητὴνπαρεστῶτα ὃν ἠγάπα, λέγει τῇ μητρί, Γύναι, ἴδε ὁυἱός σου.

εἶτα λέγει τῷ μαθητῇ, Ἴδε ἡ μήτηρ σου. καὶ ἀπ'ἐκείνης τῆς ὥρας ἔλαβεν ὁ μαθητὴς αὐτὴν εἰς τὰἴδια.

Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!
Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.

Jesus Christ prays that his sacrifice be for everyone [2]

Luke 23:34

ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἔλεγεν, Πάτερ, ἄφες αὐτοῖς, οὐγὰρ οἴδασιν τί ποιοῦσιν. διαμεριζόμενοι δὲ τὰἱμάτια αὐτοῦ ἔβαλον κλήρους.

But Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And they divided his garments, casting lots.

Jesus Christ promises paradise [3]

Luke 23:43

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Ἀμήν σοι λέγω σήμερον μετ'ἐμοῦ ἔσῃ ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ

And he said to him, “Verily I tell you today you will be with me in Paradise.”

Jesus Christ faces his final worldly test [4]

John 19:28

Μετὰ τοῦτο εἰδὼς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι ἤδη πάντατετέλεσται, ἵνα τελειωθῇ ἡ γραφή, λέγει, Διψῶ.

After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst.

Jesus Christ suffers all doubt of salvation [5]

Mark 15:34

καὶ τῇ ἐνάτῃ ὥρᾳ ἐβόησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, Ελωι ελωι λεμα σαβαχθανι; ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον Ὁ θεός μου ὁ θεός μου, εἰς τί ἐγκατέλιπές με

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani? which reads, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Jesus Christ overcomes his final trial [6]

Luke 23:46

καὶ φωνήσας φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν,Πάτερ, εἰς χεῖράς σου παρατίθεμαι τὸ πνεῦμά μου·τοῦτο δὲ εἰπὼν ἐξέπνευσεν.

And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, Father, into your hands I commend my spirit. And having said this, he breathed his last.

Jesus Christ declares his mission finished [7]

John 19:30

ὅτε οὖν ἔλαβεν τὸ ὄξος [ὁ] Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν,Τετέλεσται· καὶ κλίνας τὴν κεφαλὴν παρέδωκεν τὸπνεῦμα.

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and bowing his head, he gave up the ghost.

Jesus Chirst is raised up to Allah, he was not killed, but he dies on the cross

4:158

بَل رَّفَعَهُ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًۭا

Rather, Allah raised him up to Himself. And Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.
