The Islamic phrase is actually, "There is no God but Allah" (la ilaha illa allah).
Comparable, but not exact, phrases include: Deut 6.4; 32.39; Isa 44.6; 45.5. Paul also seems to have a loose quote of Deut 6.4 in 1 Cor 8.4. None of these are Trinitarian, though the Christian doctrine of the Trinity properly understood is a monotheistic belief. But since Trinitarian theology is beyond the scope of the forum, I won't go into it.

(often heard in Islam. Is this also in the Trinitarian statement?) Thank you, Oun Kwon, I'm not asking about theological matter; only looking for the scripture on which this expression may be based on. _______________________________________________ b-hebrew mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/b-hebrew
