ALTER2EGO -to- EVERYONE:
Although there are no scriptures in the Judeo-Christian in support of it, the Trinity is considered the most important doctrine for the most of the 41,000 denominations within Christendom. The philosophy states that the God of the Judeo-Christian Bible is split up into three different persons. It states: the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Ghost/Holy Spirit is god. The philosophy also states that the three persons/three gods are co-equal and co-eternal and combined into a single "Godhead."
Interestingly, there were trinity gods in existence centuries before Jesus Christ appeared on earth in the 1st Century AD, and there were pagan trinities in existence during the 1st Century AD, while Jesus was on earth. Below are three such examples, followed by the questions for debate.
1. In the 2nd century B.C.E. (two centuries before Christ came to the earth), Egypt had a triad of gods consisting of (1) Horus, (2) Osiris, and (3) Isis.
2. In the 2nd century B.C.E. (two centuries before Christ came to the earth), Babylon had a triad of gods consisting of (1) Ishtar, (2) Sin, and (3) Shamash.
3. In the 1st century C.E., Palmyra, which was an ancient city in Syria, had a triune god which consisted of (1) moon god, (2) Lord of Heavens, and (3) sun god.
QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION:
1. If you have scriptures that you believe are talking trinity, do not quote more than four (4) scriptural examples at a time. Quote the verses and BRIEFLY explain to the forum why you believe they support Trinity.
2. Why is it that trinity is found in pagan/false religions that never worshipped the God of the Judeo-Christian Bible? For instance, as noted by two of the above examples, there were pagan trinities at least 200 years before Jesus came to the earth as a human.
3. If the Trinity is a Bible teaching, why is it that Jesus and his apostles who followed him around never taught anyone about the Trinity?
4. How is it that the Trinity teaching did not become official "Christian" teaching until more than 300 years after the resurrected Jesus-Christ returned to heavenly life, and only after the Christianized Romans (who later called themselves Roman Catholics) copied the philosophy from pagan/false religions--AFTER the resurrected Jesus Christ returned to heaven?
5. Are the words "Trinity" and "Godhead" in the Bible? If so, were those words part of the original writings?
NOTE TO THE MODERATORS: I am not sure what you consider spam, but I have debated this topic at other websites. I trust this does not violate your forum rules? I debate the topics wherever I post them, and that is debate as in: "I respond directly to what others specifically state if their comments are on topic." Needless to say, this is not SPAM. By definition, spam is the posting of something with no intention of responding to the expressions of others.
