**If God Is One, Where Did the Trinity Come From? | Jesus, the Bible & Islam**

What if one of the biggest questions in Christianity is also one of the most misunderstood? If God is one, where did the doctrine of the Trinity come from? Was the Trinity explicitly taught by Jesus? How did early Christians understand God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit? And what does the Qur'an say about the nature of God and the identity of Jesus? In this episode of **Faith**, we take a respectful, evidence-focused look at one of the most important theological questions in Christianity and Islam. We examine the biblical evidence for the Trinity, Jesus' statements about God, the development of early Christian theology, the Councils of Nicaea and Constantinople, and the Islamic concept of **Tawhid — the absolute oneness of God**. Rather than attacking Christianity or simply declaring one side correct, this video asks a deeper question: *Which understanding of God best explains the scriptural, historical, and theological evidence?* We'll explore passages including John 1:1, John 17:3, John 14:28, Mark 13:32, Matthew 28:19, Deuteronomy 6:4, and Qur'an 112:1–4 and 4:171. Watch until the end, because the final question changes the entire way we think about Jesus, God, and the meaning of monotheism. *What do you think?* Is the Trinity the best explanation of the biblical evidence, or does the Islamic concept of Tawhid provide a clearer understanding of God's oneness?
