    Please do not be quick to deem me a Heretic for the question that I am about to raise in light of the lesson to be learned by this Parable, but sometimes I wonder if Triune God was being a little bit Authoritarian towards the Phariseeical Rabbi, and here is why. I am a person who has met a lot of deceitful friends who Transgressed against me by being manipulative and ill-using me for favors for their own good, and whenever I called them out on it, they would give me what some of the Italian Americans call "Phony Bologna Apologies". So therefore, I am do not forgive all Transgressions committed against me Unconditionally, (depending upon the severity of their Transgressions committed against me), so therefore, I feel it is necessary to think like a Police Officer from the big Metropolitan Cities of the East Coast and the Great Lakes States, back in the days before the Mirada Rights Laws were put into effect, giving them the So-called "3rd Degree", just so I can feel them out Psychologically, and make absolutely sure beyond a Shadow of a doubt that they have really and truly Repented of their Transgressions committed against me. So,.... why did Triune God not speak to the Mind of the Phariseeical Rabbi and tell him that he had truly Repented and that the Publican (who was a Traitor to his fellow Jews), was not just putting on a Phony Bologna Act of Repentance? And then tell the Phariseeical Rabbi Repentance tell the Publican that he was Forgiven? So that both the Rabbi and the Publican could have gone home justified? Maybe the Rabbi was using his own 3rd Degree Tactics on the Publican. Furthermore, I also believe that I should be allowed the Privilege to thank Triune God that I am not like other men, (given that I do so in moderation). Besides,...I am a Blue-Collared Laymen who does Manual Labor Jobs that takes up most of my time. So that would make me a "Part-time Servant of Triune God", where as those in the Monastic Life or Clerical Life, (Hierarchically speaking), are the Full-time Servants of Triune God. So therefore,... I am not going to be held Double Accountable on the day of the Resurrection and Last Judgement. Why make living the Christian Life, more difficult for the Laity than it needs to be? That is also some Theological "Food for thought" that I wanted to bring to the Theological Table as one who wants to be a Church Reformationist.

    [4:171] O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, “Three”; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.

      Well, I'm _really_ convinced now that you've quoted a book in which I do not believe. Seriously, though, what kind of argument is this? If you're talking to Christians and you want to disprove the dogma of the Trinity (which is not possible: the True God cannot be debunked, for He is Himself the Truth), it would make far more sense to argue from the Bible or some other source that is authoritative for Christians. As a Christian, if I had to witness to Jews, I would not start out by saying "The New Testament teaches this, so you have to believe it", because they do not believe in the New Testament. I would instead argue from their Scriptures, and we can discuss the New Testament afterwards. See how that works?
