Page 34 - Countering Trinitarian Arguments With Historical Reference

We further quote Theophilus who is the first known to use and record the term Trinity: “In like manner also the three days which were before the luminaries, are types of the Trinity, of God, and His Word/Logos, and His Wisdom/Sophia.”
We find that Catholic Theologians received the Trinity from their Pagan ancestors.
Quoting Dr. C G Jung, a Psychological Approach to the Dogma of the Trinity: “Triads of gods appear very early, at the primitive level. The archaic triads in the religions of antiquity and of the East are too numerous to be mentioned here. Arrangement in triads is an archetype in the history of religion, which in all probability formed the basis of the Christian Trinity.”
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.”
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.”
John Newton in his book Origin of Triads and Trinities writes: “With the first glimpse of a distinct religion and worship among the most ancient races, we find them grouping their gods in triads.” [Or in Threes] He then proceeds to trace the strong Trinitarian beliefs, which were common in ancient India, Egypt and Babylon as examples. Regarding ancient India he states: “The threefold manifestations of the One Supreme Being as Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva was thus sung of by Kalidasa (55 BC): “In these three persons the One God is shown, Each first in place, each last, not one alone. Of Brahma, Vishnu, Siva each may be first, second, third among the Blessed Three.”
Pagan Celtic Britain 1996, page 107, under Heads in Stone, by Professor Anne Ross former Research Fellow in Archaeology at the University of Southampton. Lecture at University College of Wales. “Multiple heads for the Celts, three was a significant number, having a magico-religious connotation. The early Irish tales contain references to three semi-divine heroes [Persons], Rather than one, born at a single birth, and being given the same name, but distinguishing epithets; deities are grouped in threes; the traditional lore of both Wales and Ireland is preserved in a series of triadic statements, and this predilection for the number three can be discerned throughout the Celtic [and Druid] tradition. To find divine beings portrayed as three-faced heads is thus fully in keeping with this attitude, and for certain of the Celtic peoples, such a representational type seems to have served as an image of the tribal god. This is particularly the case
