- ‘No mortal eyes can see Him, but He can see all eyes. He is All-kind and Allaware.’

- Those Christians, who believe in Trinity, saying: GOD is ONE, while they refer to THREE GODS (Father, Son, H. S.)! Is God 1 in 3 or 3 in 1?!
- In Christianity, God has three identities: 1. God the Father, the Creator. 2. God the Son, the Savior. 3.God the Holy Spirit, the Counselor!
