In the Koran in verse 5 of Surah XXII it states ".... We have created you from dust.... We may make (it) clear for you. We cause what We will to remain in he wombs for an appointed time, and afterward We bring you forth ..."

Does the Koran contradict itself about the oneness of the Godhead?

Could this verse be proof of the trinity within the Koran?

No, and No.

It probably is related to the purality of elohim, where the pural form of the noun names it magnifigied with the singluar verb that is supplied with it.

This is a theist only area - since you have made a point that is very common and of interest, I am leaving the post, but please respect the forum restrictions

I'd ay that the "plural" form of the pronoun signifies majesty. Much like royalty uses the plural form.

However, Allah certainly did have a "partner," in Mohammed. Apparently, He didn't make a move without consulting Mo!

In Judaism, the trinity is proven through prophecies, in Christianity, the New Testament...where in the Quran does it specifically point out three distinct and seperate parts of God? As far as I know, it doesn't...I does contradict itself Jude....and besides, what do the other two parts do? Can't be a saviour in one cuz' Allah as in the Father does that himself,(without fulfilling the punishment of sin, I might add)...... if he deems you worthy....
