church Father. Mithraism was quite often noted by many historians for its many astonishing similarities to (Catholic) Christianity.
The faithful referred to Mithras (REMEMBER, 4000 years ago!) as "the Light of the World", symbol of truth, justice, and loyalty. He was mediator (logos) between heaven and earth and was a member of a Holy Trinity. According to Persian mythology, Mithras was born of a virgin given the title 'Mother of God'...” (Also Mithric priests were called “Father.” Read Matthew 23:9)
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Under “Mithra”, “Mithra's standard appellation is "of wide pastures" suggesting omnipresence. Mithra is "truth-speaking, ... with a thousand ears, ... with ten thousand eyes, high, with full knowledge, strong, sleepless, and ever awake." In Zoroastrianism, Mithra is a member of the trinity of ahuras, protectors of asha/arta, "truth" or "[that which is] right".
The Masculine Cross by Professor Hargrave Jennings 1891 London page 33-34: “Many of the heathens are said to have had a notion of a Trinity,” wrote a contributor to an encyclopedia, some eighty years ago. Now that altogether fails to reach the truth, for heathen nations are known to scholars to have very definite ideas indeed about a sacred Triad; in fact, as another writer has said, there is nothing in all theology more deeply grounded, or more generally allowed by them, than the Mystery of the Trinity. The Chaldeans, (Babylonians) Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans, both in their writings and their oracles, acknowledged that the Supreme Being had begotten another Being from all eternity, whom they some times called the Son of God, sometimes the Word, (Logos) sometimes the Mind, and sometimes the Wisdom of God, and asserted to be the Creator of all things.
Among the sayings of the Magi, the descendants of Zoroaster, was one as follows: -“The Father finished all things, and delivered them to the Second Mind.”
We learn from Dr. Cudworth that besides the inferior gods generally received by all Pagans (viz.: animated stars, demons, and heroes), the more refined of them, who accounted not the world the Supreme Deity, acknowledged a Trinity of (3) divine hypostases superior to them all. This doctrine, according to Plotinus, is very ancient, and obscurely asserted even by Parmenids. Some have referred its origin to the Pythagoreans, and others to Orpheus, who adopted three principles, called Phanes, Uranus, and Cronus. Dr. Cudworth apprehends that Pythagoras and Orpheus derived this doctrine from the theology of the Egyptian Hermes...” [Or in Greek the Logos]
Plato, also, and his followers, speak of the Trinity in such terms, that the primitive (Catholic) fathers have actually been accused of borrowing the doctrine from the (Pagan) Platonic school.”
Pagan Constantine simply drew from his heathen heritage in establishing the Trinity as a Roman Catholic dogma. Constantine a narcissistic idol worshipper used syncretism to bring in a strong delusion to deceive and unite the masses together. This political predator used his new hybrid religion and official Trinity doctrine to solidify his power over the Roman Empire. It doesn’t take a social scientist to understand that the old Mystery Religions merged together and received a new name called “Universal Orthodox Christianity.” Even the very Catholic Creeds can be traced back to pure solar paganism.
