Page 37 - Countering Trinitarian Arguments With Historical Reference
P. 37
Dr. John Gwyn Griffiths an Egyptologist and former Professor of Theology at the University of Wales. Triads and Trinity, 1996, page 11: “The triadic grouping of gods was an early and persistent tradition in the religion of Ancient Egypt. The best-known example is perhaps that of Osiris, Isis, and Horus, and the relationship within the triads with three gods or three goddesses, the leading deities [top three high Gods] of one locality being sometimes thus combined. A result of prominence of this structural element in Egyptian religion has been suggested of some scholars, notably the late Siegfried Morenz, that Egypt may well have influenced, in this matter, the formulation of the [Catholic] Christian doctrine of the Trinity.”
From the same book Triads and Trinity we find the ancient Leiden Hymn to Amun or Amen-Ra on page 89: “Three are all gods: Amun/Amen, Re/Ra, Ptah. There is no one comparable with them. He who conceals his name as Amun, he is Re in countenance, his body is Ptah.”
The ancients apply a Trinity or Triadic nature to “all gods”. Trinitarian theologians use the same mentality today. Three Divine Persons are not found in the real Biblical Christian Godhead. Pagan Mythology has deceived many good people.
Above we see that ancient Pagan religions had a Trinity as a cornerstone in their belief system and philosophy. The worship of the number three (3) and a Trinity was universal. This long-standing superstition influenced later religions including Emperor Constantine’s Roman Catholic Church. The One True God did not inspire this lie. Satan is the author of this ancient triadic Mystery Religion. We have actually talked to Pagans that confirmed that Platonic teachings were assimilated by later Religions. We have found that often Pagans have a better historical understanding than many Christians do.
