Have you noticed something interesting about the trinity doctrine?

Question

That it is similiar to the 3 Goddesses?

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Daughter, Mother, Crone (or whatever variation there are)

Both are one being but represented in 3 different ways. I wonder why it is so similiar?

History of the Trinity
Trinity Definition: Within the nature of the One True God, there simultaneously exists three eternal Persons, namely, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. All three Persons are co-equals in all the attributes of the Divine Nature.

This definition defines God, not as a family, but as a committee. But how did this doctrine come to exist in modern Christianity? In the preface to Edward Gibbon's History of Christianity, it reads:

If Paganism was conquered by Christianity, it is equally true that Christianity was corrupted by Paganism. The pure Deism of the first Christians … was changed, by the Church of Rome, into the incomprehensible dogma of the Trinity. Many of the pagan tenets, invented by the Egyptians and idealized by Plato, were retained as being worthy of belief.

Most theologians know that the Trinity doctrine is not scriptural.

All Pagan religions from the time of Babylon have adopted in one form or another a Trinity doctrine or a triad or trinity of gods. In Babylon it was Nimrod, Semiramas, and Tammuz. In Egypt it was Osiris, Isis, and Horus. Within Israel paganism it was Kether, Hokhmah, and Binah. In Plato's philosophy it was the Unknown Father, Nous/Logos, and the world soul. In the book, A Statement of Reasons, Andrews Norton says of the Trinity:

We can trace the history of this doctrine, and discover its source, not in the Christian revelation, but in the Platonic philosophy … The Trinity is not a doctrine of Christ and his Apostles, but a fiction of the school of the later Platonists.

When Constantine defeated Emperor Licinius in 323 AD he ended the persecutions against the Christian church. Shortly afterwards Christians faced a trouble from within: the Arian controversy began and threatened to divide the church. The problem began in Alexandria, it started as a debate between the bishop Alexander and the presbyter (pastor, or priest) Arius. Arius proposed that if the Father begat the Son, the latter must have had a beginning, that there was a time when he was not, and that his substance was from nothing like the rest of creation. The Council of Nicea, a gathering similar to the one described in Acts 15:4-22, condemned the beliefs of Arius and wrote the first version of the now famous creed proclaiming that the Son was "one in being with the Father" by use of the Greek word "homoousius."

The council didn't like it because it was new. :p

Sorry it's so long. I don't want to omit any good info. Keeps me from having to respond many times during the day.

Answer 1

The Trinity was imported in so called Christianity from previous Babylonish religions.
It is based on the idea of a God or Gods who are all seeing, and depicted in statuary with three faces, indicating they see everything.
It is not supported by the Bible.

Answer 2

You are asking wherein The Father, the Son and the holy Spirit are? It could be very transparent you haven't any competencies of any God, I believe very sorry for you. I will hold to wish for you and all of your misplaced brothers and sisters of the JW cult. You all were deceived by way of Satan and the Watchtower institution that even taught satanic teachings for forty three years, telling that the Great Pyramid was once “God’s bible in stone”. No guy might ever difference the understandings of your misplaced souls, simplest God can get rid of the scales out of your eyes and permit you to peer His fact and now not the lies of Satan you currently comply with. It could be very unhappy to grasp that you just and a lot of these men and women are dwelling in darkness and are fearful of the sunshine and can certainly not even learn the reality as they're forbidden by way of the guys controlling your lives, your Governing Body. I pray that God will draw you and them to Christ and also you and them will then realize Him. John 6:24. No it is easy to come to me except the Father who despatched me attracts him, and I will lift him up on the final day. John three:20. Everyone who does evil hates the sunshine, and won't come into the sunshine for worry that their deeds can be uncovered. 21. But whoever lives by way of the reality comes into the sunshine, in order that it can be obvious it appears that evidently that what they've performed has been performed within the sight of God.

Answer 3

I'm a Christian so don't be offended by my answer this is what I believe to be true. The adversary's job is to get us to believe anything except the truth, but our souls intuitively know the truth so he has to use counterfeits such as different trinity's or corrupted forms of Christianity like mormans or catholics, which have a half truth and will semi-satisfy our search for the true God. The trinity is supported in the bible, if anyone wants the study I can get it for them. It's long though, cause there's alot of evidence for it.

Answer 4

IHS = ?
we are told "In His Service" but the letters where in use long before "He" was walking about. In ancient Egypt these letters where used to mean "Isis, Horus, Seth" the pagan trinity of the Egyptians.
There are many trinities in pagan cultures. The Ba'als where a trinity also: "Ba'al, Tamuz and Ishtar" (Father son and mother)
As for your question, yes, I had noticed.

Answer 5

Christianity has "borrowed" from nearly every source under the sun. I like to refer to the trinity as 3 in 1 oil.

Answer 6

I will answer your question and not enter the great miles of discourse. The enemy, Lucifer or Satan, has a simple job description, to kill steal and destroy. He is the master of deception and his tactics have not changed ever. He perverts and not creates. Having said that, why is it similar because he want people to believe exactly what you believe. The book of John was authored by one of the Apostles and in it the concept, explanation and evidence of the Trinity is contained. In addition the book of Isaiah also contains discourse of the Trinity.

Try and study the Bible! Both these texts were written BEFORE the Platonians!

Answer 7

The Hindus believe in a trinity as well. Weird eh.

Answer 8

It came into being through Jesus description of His relationship with God the Father and the Holy Spirit. His own words describe it in the Gospel.

Answer 9

I don't find it interesting

Answer 10

Very interesting and well-researched. Thanks!
