Abstract
In this research, we talked about the doctrinal aspects of the seven sacred secrets of most Christians, and these secrets are: (the secret of baptism, the secret of chrism, the secret of thanksgiving, the secret of priesthood, the secret of repentance or confession, the secret of marriage, and the secret of the anointing of the sick or the holy oil). The research mentioned the irregularities in these secrets when mentioning the attitude of Islam. Also, it deals with the impact of the New Testament on the Christians in the matter of the secrets and how it generated some misconceptions and beliefs among them. Exploitation of the church and its men of people in the name of religion, such as the clergymen exploiting the sacrament of priesthood and confession to satisfy their lusts, and the church also exploited its right to forgive sins by issuing instruments of forgiveness in exchange for sums of money, just as secrets are among the reasons for distancing people from religion, when the priest is a mediator between the guilty and God. There are incomprehensible secrets, such as the transformation of bread into the body of Christ (peace be upon him) and wine into his blood. The secrets are one of the aspects of the contradiction in the New Testament, and it is one of the aspects of the difference between the Christian sects among themselves, and there are many irregularities.
