Linkage: a Muslim challenge (Dale)

The Trinity Challenge, from a Sufi Muslim blog. The comments there are wild and wooly. There’s a charge of polytheism, and some non-trinitarian Christians weigh in.

The challenge, of course, cannot be met. But it seems to me he’s carelessly overlooking the options that the Trinity doctrine is:

(1) implicitly taught in the Bible (i.e. it is deducible from what is there, though not explicitly stated there),

or (2) that the doctrine is the best explanation of what is (explicitly and implicitly) taught there.

It’s sort of cheap to insist that either the doctrine is explicitly stated, or it ain’t in the Bible at all.

Compare: this poll here at trinities.
