Jewish scholars say the TRINITY is Paganism ?
It began hundreds of years ago, when the Church changed the Bible. . .
The "New Testament": Pagan revenge
Between G-d's own miracles and the Jewish teaching of His Word, the pagan priesthoods of Egypt, Greece, and Rome were steadily losing their power over the gentile populations. They decided to fight back by creating a new religion, one that would claim to be the fulfillment of the Hebrew "Old Testament," yet would bring back the pagan lies in a new disguise.
Thus the "New Testament" was written, in Greek rather than Hebrew, and attached to the original Hebrew scriptures to try to change their meaning back toward paganism.
The "New Testament" tried to change G-d from One, as in the Hebrew scriptures, into a "trinity" as in Egyptian cults or the eastern religions of Hinduism and Buddhism. It described Jesus as G-d in a human body, like the pagans always described Pharoah and other wicked kings. It declared G-d's Law to be a "curse" that no one can truly obey, announced that there must be a "mediator" between G-d and man, and pretended that salvation could now be achieved outside the Law.
To blind the gentile nations, the "New Testament" also warned people not to learn from the Jews, declaring that Israel no longer possessed the true, complete Word of G-d.
In the Bible, the book of Daniel warned of an evil power--a false religion--that would believe in the true "G-d of fortresses... plus a god its fathers did not know." This religion would "speak bizarre words about the Most High, wear out the holy ones (the Jews), and plan to change the festivals and the religious Law."7 The Christian Church has indeed replaced Passover with Easter (the pagan holiday of Astarte and Ishtar) and Hanukah with Christmas (the pagan winter holiday).
Since then, Christian paganism has expanded to include Christmas trees, Easter eggs, and so forth.

Well, you're right about the synthetic nature of the Christian religion. Anybody who has done a little honest research will be confronted with the fact nearly every aspect of "Christian" mythology and ritual has its precedent in some earlier pagan religion. The earliest Church patriarchs were compelled to admit this, but attributed it to the deliberate deceit of Satan; some modern "Christians" still believe this, while others argue that the pagans may have been the ones to steal from the Christians, which is a hard sell, since the pagan cults are definitely earlier. See the rites of Dionysus, Mithras, Attis, Adonis, Osiris, Sol, etc etc. In many of them the god is born of a virgin, performs miracles with wine and fish, raises the dead, is barbarously slain on a tree, is resurrected three days later, etc.
The entire Christian calendar is stolen from pagan nature religion, the Crucifixion taking place at the Spring Equinox, and the Nativity nine months later at the Winter Solstice; all the feast days of the saints are simply the feasts of the old gods.
When you say "Please follow only the good teachings of Christ," though, it begs the question 'Which are the good teachings?" We have no reliable means of deciding which of the sayings attributed to Jesus are even actually his, let alone which are worthy of following. Once you've knocked the ground out from beneath Christianity, you have to rebuild the case for following Jesus as a human "prophet."

Are you familiar with historical revisionism? People have been doing this for centuries. Liberal scholars have tried to parallel Christianity with the mystery religions. Take, for the most popular example, Mithraism. Mithra was deemed to be a powerful mediator between humanity and the forces of darkness. But the flowering of Mithraism occurred after the close of the New Testament canon, much too late for it to have influenced anything that appears in the New Testament. In fact, no monuments for the cult can be dated earlier than A.D. 90–100, and even this dating is exceedingly generous. The possibility of the exciting and popular claim that Mithraic myth influenced early Christianity extremely improbable. On the contrary, it is not only possible but probable that in certain cases the influence moved in the opposite direction. Christianity can be correctly traced back to the life of a real flesh and blood person named Jesus, and the Old Testament Judaism. By way of illustration, the Lord’s Supper initiated by Christ has its historical roots firmly planted in the Jewish rite of Passover. Christianity is anchored in real history. Its facts are checkable. One can embrace it with confidence, obediently surrender to it, and entertain all the blessings associated therewith.

You have to keep in mind that paganism has been around much longer than Christianity, And yes there are many similar beliefs.
What I find funny as a Pagan myself (though I was brought up Christian) Is all the Traditions that come from Paganism.. the Christmas Tree the Yule log etc...and many more all come from Pagan ceremonies

The Trinity concept certainly existed in pre-Christian religions of the Roman world, and was not part of the original beliefs of the original Jesus movement of the 1st century CE. It came into Christianity by way of Tertullian, who himself saw the son as subordinate to the father. Modern Christianity (as decided at the Council of Nicea) has the father and son homo-ousia (of the same substance). Similiar story for many of the concepts in Christianity - the virgin birth, etc.

That's where you're wrong. It is a loosely compiled assortment of fairy tales.
