The Holy Trinity – From Babylon To Rome
October 17, 2008 by A Watchman
“The cult that arose in Babylon and spread its cult tentacles throughout the world was trinitarian (Two Babylons, by Alexander Hislop). At first, this doctrine was merely humanism, man making himself god. The first humanism trinity of record to be setup and worshiped as gods, was that of Nimrod, Simeramus, and Tammuz. These are in the Old Testament in the Canaanite language identified as Baal, Ashtoreth, and Tammuz. At the dispersion of the people at the Tower of Babel, this trinity doctrine of humanism was spread all over the world. Each religion of all the pagan religions held two common traits: 1.) A trinity of gods and; 2.) These were in a form of human gods.”

“From ancient time Mystery Babylon has tried to make God what he is not – A Trinity.”

The Trinity Doctrine Is Pagan
By Cohen G. Reckart, Pastor
“Long ago – right after the Flood, a man named Nimrod emerged on the scene of history. His name means “let us rebel”. He led the founding of the first great civilization – Babylon…He led them to rebel against God. He had tremendous power, so much that he became a god in the eyes of the people. When he died, his wife, Semiramis, recognized that without him she might loose power herself, so she devised a clever plan. Semiramis was pregnant. She told everyone that the child in her womb was none other than Nimrod being reborn. This was the beginning of the greatest perversion… the concept of father/son deity, the very first incomprehensible divine trinity (the unexplainable mystery)…”

“Bel (Lord) was the oldest and mightiest of the gods of Babylonia, one of the earliest trinities. He was “Lord of the World. The “doctrine of the Trinity” is first met northeast of the Indus; and, tracing it to Asia Minor and Europe, one recognizes it among every people who had anything like an established religion. It was taught in the oldest Chaldean, Egyptian, and Mithraic schools. The Chaldean Sun-god, Mithra, was called “Triple” and the trinitarian idea of the Chaldeans was a doctrine of the Akkadians who, themselves, belonged to a race which was the first to conceive a metaphysical trinity. According to the archeologist Rawlinson, the Chaldeans were a tribe of the Akkadians who lived in Babylonia from earliest times…”

“In ancient days Satan seemed to make Babylon the capital of his evil operation. From this headquarters was started false religion.”
-(Revelation Illustrated and Made Plain p. 224).
“the Tower of Babel was actually the worship of Satan in the form of fire, the sun and the serpent. However, Satan worship could not be done openly because of the many who still believed in the true God of Noah. So a mystery religion began at Babel where Satan could be worshipped in secret.”

“The researches of modern writers….. uniformly regard Babylon… as the cradle of the ancient Paganism.”

“Babylon was, at that time, the center of the civilized world; and thus Paganism…had opportunities of sending forth its debased counterfeit of the truth to all the ends of the earth.”

Unlike early Christianity, which worshipped the Jewish God, YHVH – The apostate Church adopted the Trinity god of Ancient Babylon.
“The trinity got its start in Ancient Babylon with Nimrod – Tammuz – and Semiramis. Semiramis demanded worship for both her husband and her son as well as herself. She claimed that her son, was both the father and the son. Yes, he was “god the father” and “god the son” -
The first divine incomprehensible trinity.”

REV 16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
In ‘Constitutions’ I discovered a text (22) which does use the Greek later additions of Matthew regarding baptism … (in itlalics in ‘Constitutions’ to highlight the fact that it is in fact an addition) … in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (which is absent from the earlier Hebrew version), but the explanation of this additional Greek terminology does not seem to be promoting a concept of trinity in Constitutions, but rather seems to be appreciatively including all involved (Jesus also said those who accept him also accept the Father, so inclusion is involved in that statement too, without any errant promotion of Jesus and God being one-and-the-same … much like accepting an authorized agent is the same as accepting the one the agent is representing)
Here is the text’s explanation why each of these entities is mentioned ” :- of the Father that sent, of the Christ that came, of the Paraclete that testified”
This does not seem to attempt to equate flesh Jesus as being God.
Just thought I’d share, because it’s the first time I’ve ever read that terminology with a very old clarifyer which doesn’t seem to promote any trinity.
Also, when God uses special agents, God often places His Name in them eg the angel who led the exodus EX 23:21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name [is] in him.
To baptize in the name of Jesus/Ya-Hoshua, is to baptize in the name of the Father, since God’s Name is in him.
It’s not a flesh person we are meant to worship, but rather we are meant to worship God acting through that person
MT 15:31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
Jesus/Yeshua told us to behave likewise
MT 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
