because both groups claimed to follow the teachings of Jesus, but what one
group taught was very different from the teachings of the other!
Salman listened to what both parties had to say about Jesus and chose not
to follow the one that preached what they called "the trinity" which is
worshiping three Gods and calling the One and that Jesus was one of the
three.
The more thought about it occurred to him that the trinity was very similar to
the pagan religions of Persia because they worshipped many gods instead
of just One. So the group Salman chose to follow were the Nazarenes who
taught the Creator was One and that Jesus was His prophet, and that he
was not a god or even His son. However, Salman knew it would cause a
problem at home if he told his father about his conversion so he hit it.
Salman had many experiences in his search for the truth, and served
several priests. The first priest was however, corrupt. He took from the poor
and used the proceeds to satisfy his lusts, so Salman abandoned him in
search of one more pious.
