In Conclusion
Ancient pre-Neolithic Paganism gave humanity a triadic or Trinity doctrine. This is a historical fact. “Triads of gods appear very early, at the primitive level.”-Dr. C. G. Jung.
The History of Magic and The Occult by Kurt Sellgmann, 1997 Edition, page 61 under Gnosticism. “Many Babylonian ideas had long since influenced the west, [Egypt, Greece, and later the Roman Empire] particularly their astrology. It became known also that priests of Babylon knew the ‘one god,’ Ilu, primary and unique, from whom springs all other gods. Ilu formed the Holy Trinity: Anu, the time-god, Nuah, intelligence, [Logos] and Bel, the coordinator. This first Triad represents the genesis of the material world which emanated from the divine being.”
The Oxford Companion to the Bible, page 561, comments on this: "Three is widely regarded as a divine number. Many religions have triads of gods. Biblical faith has no room for a triad, and the number three is rarely connected with God. ... Neither is the doctrine of the Trinity expressed there in so many words."
Witchcraft Ancient and Modern by: Raymond Buckland 1970. “There were other more definite adoptions from the old religions, [Witchcraft/Paganism] especially in the early formative years of [Catholic] Christianity. The ideal of the Trinity, for instance, was taken from the old Egyptian Triad. Osiris, Isis and Horus became God, Mary and Jesus.” (We know that the Egyptians barrowed this triad from the Babylonians.)
Egyptian Belief and Modern Thought, by James Bonwick, page 396. “...yet it is an undoubted fact that more or less all over the world the deities [of the pagans] are in triads... Further, it is observed that, in some mystical way, the triad of three persons is one...The definition of Athanasius who lived in [Alexandria] Egypt, applied to the trinities of all heathen religions.”
Anyone with an honest heart can see what the original first century Church believed about Jesus. One God Jesus name doctrine was the faith of the early Church. Trinitarian teachings came later with the Roman Catholic Church in the second, third and fourth centuries. We find that both the Biblical and historical records clearly show the sincere person that the Trinity dogma is a Roman Catholic falsehood that contaminated Biblical Theology.
The Catholic Handbook, 1988, page 4 “The Catholic Church teaches that fathomless Mystery we call God has revealed himself to humankind as a trinity of [Divine] Persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Three Persons, One God. The Mystery of the Trinity is the central doctrine of the Catholic faith. Upon it are based all other teachings of the [Catholic] Church. The [Catholic] Church studied this Mystery with great care and, after four centuries of clarifications, decided to state the doctrine in this way: In the unity of the Godhead there are three Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, truly distinct one from another.”
