Culture/Time:

Relevant History + Science:
See the Relevant History and Science section under the document of Galatians. John also warns in his letters that the one who denies the FATHER AND THE SON, one is the antichrist. Islam does in fact deny the trinity, thus denying the Father and Son, with the addition of the Holy Spirit as the third member of the trinity. The Quran states Allah does not have a begotten son in 17:111. This is completely incorrect and does not make sense because Islam also teaches that the Torah and Gospel are the word of Allah, and that the word of Allah can’t be corrupted, but the Torah and Gospel teach the Trinity. Nice try lucifer
