Page 18 - Countering Trinitarian Arguments With Historical Reference

Trinities were utterly lost in forming the new [Catholic] Christian Creeds on the old Pagan models... The [Pagan] Trinities had the prestige of past antiquity and universal adoption, and could not be ignored. The [Pagan] Gentile converts therefore eagerly accepted the Trinity compromise, and the [Catholic] Church baptized it. Now at length we know its [The Trinity Doctrine, and The Nicene and Athanasian Creeds] origin.”
Egyptian Belief, by Bonwick, page 283, states: “The early Catholic Christians were charged with being a sect of Sun-worshippers. The Emperor Hadrian could see no difference between them and the followers of the ancient Egyptian god Serapis, who was the Sun. In a letter to Consul Servianus, the Emperor says: “There are there [in Egypt] Christians [Catholics] who worship Serapis and devoted to Serapis are those who call themselves “Bishops of Christ.”
Manual of Universal Church History by Rev. Dr. John Alzog Professor of Theology, 1874, pg. 355-356. We find a Catholic Bishop who still used the Sun as a symbol of the Trinity: “The Bishop [Dionysius] of Alexandria, [Egypt] having been requested by the Pope to state his precise meaning and belief on this subject, wrote four books, both in refutation of Sabellian [One God] heresy and of that which was ascribed to himself, in the course of which he said: “The Son has His being from the Father, but is consubstantial with Him, and is the splendor of the Eternal Light, and coeternal with the Father, as the brilliancy of the Sun is both inseparable from it, and simultaneous with it. Thus do we extend the Unity into the Trinity, yet confine the Trinity undiminished within the Unity.”
The Trinity by Dr. Edward Henry, 1980, we quote part of the Foreword by Walter L. Wilson. M.D., D.D., L.H.D. “Much confusion exists in the minds of God’s people concerning the Trinity of Heaven, the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. Some believe that they are three aspects of just one Person. This they illustrate by speaking of the sun as having light, heat and power...Dr. Bickersteth has presented in a wonderful way a multitude of Scripture texts which correct the thinking, and make clear the true nature of the Trinity. In some cases he presents in parallel columns that which is said of each separate Person of the Trinity, so that it may be clearly seen that there are three distinct and definite Persons who are in this holy Trinity, and whom we call the God-head.”
We must note that the Trinity is even in modern times compared to the Sun. The Sun is indeed a symbol of the ancient Pagan Solar Trinity. The modern day Trinity is based upon this old Pagan, model Philosophy, and symbolism. Constantine and other early Roman Catholic leaders were very much into solar heathenism. We are not of the Seventh-day Adventist. However, we must admit that Constantine in 321 AD did enforce Sunday worship. This is just the tip of the iceberg. However, we need to also realize that he enforced the Solar Trinity worship and Trinity baptism. Many Adventists believe that they are free of the solar Paganism because they keep what they believe to be the Sabbath. However, as long as they and others adhere to the Trinity Doctrine they are still under paganism. We find that even Constantine worshiped a Sun god that was one, yet a trinity.
