Christians have the Trinity.
Father, So and The Holy Ghost.
Hindus have the Trinity.
Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
There are some very recognizable parallels between the Christian trinity and the Hundu Trinity.
In fact, many people believe that the Christian Trinity was based on the Hindu Trinity.
Christains have God, The Creator who created all.
Hindus have Brahama, The Generator who created all.
Christuians have Jesus, the Son. The one who has come down to earth to show the people the light and the way to heaven. God's son. Our physical representation of Heaven on Earth.
Hindus have Vishnu, the Organizer. The one who comes down to Earth (10 times by most accounts) to show the people the light and the way to Nirvana.
Christians have The Holy Ghost. The one who will come down to Earth at the time of Revelation and destroy the inhabitants of the world (I am still a little unclear on his whole role in this)/ The Holy Ghost is the force called upon to rid people of Demonic possessions.
Hindus have Shiva, The Destroyer. Shiva is the champion of Demonic activity. Shiva is the one who will eventually destroy mankind and the world.
My descriptions may be a little vague and slightly off-target, but it is late and I am tired.
Anyway, my question is...
What other religions (if any) share similar beliefs?
Are there other places that I can find a trinitarian belief system?
Are there other indirect parallels that can be drawn from other religions to these three aspects of these two religions?
Any thoughts?
