Can God die? Muslims often argue that the Trinity and the Incarnation are incoherent, but their own theology makes that argument impossible.
Islam’s dominant Divine Command Theory teaches that God can will anything whatsoever, even what seems incoherent or contradictory. Therefore Muslims cannot logically argue that the Trinity or the Incarnation are impossible, because their own theology denies any intrinsic limits on God’s power. At most they can claim that God wouldn’t do these things, which shifts the burden of proof and collapses their usual objections.
