Yeah, that is one of the cheif reasons I think Mohamed was mistaken or possibley even delusional about his inspiration for the Koran.
When I first read the Koran, it seemed that their concept fo God was the same as ours, but a presit highlighted some of the behavioral differences, like the lack of a loving/forgiving side to Allah. Allah is only harsh, holy, and loves those that love Him.
The Christian concept of God is more mature, complex and deeper. Because it is genuinely inspired by God, IMO. It is no accident that Plato and Socrates, etc came to an understanding of the Trinity in their emanationist theories well before the Greeks had contact with Christianity, and vis-versa.
I mistakenly thought that the emanationists were so dominate in the first century that maybe the earlyChristians adapted it from the Greeks. But no, the emanationists were marginal in ancient society in the first century and the mystery cults dominated everything. There was no reason for Christians to borrow any consepts from the emanationists as they had no influence to try to jump on to or use as a frinedly group of like minds.
IT is just , I think, another example of God choosing the fullest time for introducing His Son into the world.
Anyway, Islams rejection if the Trinity and the divinity of Christ is based on an erroneous concept of the Trinity that most Christians still subscribe to unwittingly.
God is not theco-equal dieties that just get along really super-neeto-keeno; they are three persons in one being. That oft repeated truth is harder to understand than what one might think at first blush. But it is why the Koran is right; God does not beget nor is He begotten, in a literal sense. God simply *is* and Jesus was with Him through all eternity as Jesus *is* God, just that aspect of God that has taken on personality through the conceptualization of His intent and design. Like one might speak of ones consience or mental state as seperate from ones *self*.
IT isnt really seperate, but in the case of God, it geneuinely is, as He manifests Himself in different ways.
Anyway, later.
