<h1>From Babylon to Rome</h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_Steve-0.aspx'>Steve-0</a></strong><br /><p>From Babylon to Rome "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, Semiramis, 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." - Jesus Messiah Fellowship The Trinity Doctrine Is Pagan By Cohen G. Reckart, Pastor "From ancient time Mystery Babylon has tried to make God what he is not.... A Trinity." - Jesus Messiah Fellowship 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)..." - Resurrection Sunday and the Babylonian Connection; By Errol Hale "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 archaeologist Rawlinson, the Chaldeans were a tribe of the Akkadians who lived in Babylonia from earliest times..." - Theosophy, Vol. 52, No. 6, April, 1964 (Pages 175-182) The Chaldean Legend "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." - Alexander Hislop, The Two Babylons, 2nd American ed. (Neptune, New Jersey: Loizeaux Brothers, 1959 pages 5, 24.) "The researches of modern writers..... uniformly regard Babylon... as the cradle of the ancient Paganism." - The Worship of the Dead (London; 1904), Colonel J. Garnier, pg. 8 "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." - Hislop, A., The Two Babylons, Loiseaux Brothers, Neptune, N.J. pg 99. Unlike early Christianity, which worshipped the Jewish God, Jehovah - 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." -The Two Babylons ; Alexander Hislop; p.51 "There were triads of gods..." - (Babylonian and Assyrian Religion, Norman, Okla.; 1963, S. H. Hooke, pp. 14-40) Rome Adopts Babylon's Errors "The doctrine that Jesus Christ the Son of God was God the son was decreed by worldly and ecclesiastical powers. Men were forced to accept it at the point of the sword or else. Thus, the error of the trinity was propounded to the end that ultimately people believed it to be the truth. Thus Christianity became in essence like Babylonian heathenism, with only a veneer of Christian names." - Forgers of the Word -1983 Victor Paul Wierwille "The Babylonian pagan worship of Nimrod, Semiramis, and the god-incarnate son extended throughout the entire world and eventually assumed the name of Trinitarian Christianity." - The Two Babylons, pp. 240-252. Babylon is the source of false religion, Revelation 17:1-6. "Though the city of Babylon was destroyed, it's religious concepts and customs had spread around the world. Today’s myriad of false religions have their origin in ancient Babylon." - All Roads Lead to Babylon "Ralph Woodrow, in his book, Babylon Mystery Religion (first published in 1966, now out of print), clearly traces the practices and teachings of ancient Babylon,and their modern counterparts in the Roman Catholic Church and her Protestant daughters. Babylonian ideas are by no means isolated to professing Christianity." - All Roads Lead to Babylon "Mankind in general, has followed variations of one kind or another, of the religion of Babylon, to this day." - Ralph Woodrow (Babylon Mystery Religion 1966) "Rome...assimilated religions from her many conquered territories. All these religions had commonalities, for they all came from Babylon. These practices infiltrated and overcame the professing Christian Church, which later came to be dominated by Rome itself." - Ralph Woodrow (Babylon Mystery Religion 1966) "This is the cup which the Babylonish system has made all the world to drink. It is not limited to the Roman Catholic Church of Rome, but she certainly plays a major role in today’s religious deception." - Ralph Woodrow (Babylon Mystery Religion 1966) "The Romish system is based upon a mixture. The word "Catholic" means Universal...the true Christian goal is not religion based on mixture, but a return to the original, simple, powerful, and spiritual faith that was once delivered to the saints." - Ralph Woodrow, pg. 161. (Babylon Mystery Religion 1966) The Trinity Doctrine was a Corruption of Early Christianity "The Trinity is a corruption borrowed from the heathen religions, and ingrafted on the Christian faith." - Dictionary of Religious Knowledge The Trinity "When she allowed these idolatries to be engrafted into her church, Rome re-established the teachings of Nimrod (and his Babylonian Trinity) - into the New Testament Age, and into church dogma." - Thunder MinistriesThe Origin and Development of the Trinity according to Trinitarian Scholars "The doctrine of the Trinity was not a teaching of the original Christians, who were either with Jesus himself or taught directly by the surviving apostles. This explains why it is not found in the Bible. If it was a fundamental, core doctrine of such great importance, it would have been clearly and unmistakably stated in scripture. The fact that the vast majority of professed Christians and church doctrine today maintain a belief in the Trinity does not prove it iscorrect. Rather, it suggests that corruption of Christian doctrinal truths is widespread and deep." - Is Jesus God Almighty? Is the Trinity Scriptural? By Gordon Coulson "Christianity did not destroy paganism; it adopted it. . . . From Egypt came the ideas of a divine trinity." - (Historian Will Durant) "The pagan trinities had all the prestige of a vast antiquity and universal adoption...The Gentile converts therefore eagerly accepted the Trinity compromise, and the Church baptized it. Now at length we know its origin." - John Newton (Origin of Triads and Trinities) Altering the Bible to Support The Pagan Trinity "Codex B (Vaticanus)...was altered by a later hand in "more than two thousand places." Eusebius, therefore, is not without grounds for accusing the adherents of...the newly-risen Doctrine of the Trinity of falsifying the Bible..." - (Fraternal Visitor 1924, p. 148; translated from Christadelphian Monatshefte). "We certainly know of a great number of corruptions brought into the Scriptures by the Athanasians - relating to the Doctrine of the Trinity." - Sir William Whiston Second letter to the Bishop of London (1719 p. 15) "Rewriting the Bible to Support the Trinity Doctrine: "Learned men, so called Correctors were, following the church meeting at Nicea 325 AD, selected by the church authorities to scrutinize the sacred texts and rewrite them in order to correct their meaning in accordance with the views which the church had just sanctioned." - Einfhrung in die Textkritik des griechischen Testaments: Eberhard Nestle "Christianity's doctrine of a "holy Trinity" is simply not true. There is nothing in thescriptures which even suggests that it is, except to those who have already been taught to see it there. The doctrine of the Trinity is a heathen philosophical intrusion into the faith of Jesus..." - The Influence of Trinitarian Doctrine on Translations of the Bible by John David Clark, Sr. "What I discovered in most of the versions of the Bible produced by trinitarians which I studied - is irrefutable proof of intentional mistranslation of words which refer to God... Christian trinitarians routinely and purposely mistranslated Greek pronouns, so as to promote the doctrine of the holy Trinity." - The Influence of Trinitarian Doctrine on Translations of the Bible by John David Clark, Sr. "It's interesting to see that many of the scriptural "evidences" said to be in favor of the doctrine of the Trinity, are...sometimes even outright forgery. These can often be exposed by even a cursory glance at an English/Greek interlinear Bible or a Greek concordance."- The Trinity (A Doctrine Overdue for Extinction; Part 2 "Imperfections in the King James Version" by Ted Whitten) "The doctrine of the Trinity...is contrary to common sense. It is contrary to Scripture. It's origin is Pagan..." - J.N. Loughborough, Review and Herald, XVIII, November 5, 1861, p. 184 Trinitarians! "Any true scholar can surely see that these men did not use the "entire" word of God to base their theology upon. Rather they chose specific passages to build on their theology, because, influence, pagan tribute in a Roman Nation filled with paganism, and governing power was the mindset of Rome. When she allowed these idolatries to be "engrafted" into her church. Rome re-established the teachings of Nimrod into the New Testament Age, and into church dogma." - Thunder Ministries The Origin and Development of the Trinity according to Trinitarian Scholars "The Papacy has in some of its churches, an image of the Triune God, with three heads on one body. The Babylonians had something of the same. So utterly idolatrous was the Babylonian recognition of the (Triune) Divine unity, that Jehovah, the Living God, severely condemned his own people for giving any countenance to it." - Alexander Hislop The Two Babylons (pp. 16-19) The Trinity Doctrine Corrupts Early Christianity "It is apparent to me that the Christian religion has been corrupted from very early times, and that these corruptions have been mistaken for essential parts of it, and have been the cause of rendering the whole religion incredible." - Quoted Stannus, Origin of Doctrine of Trinity, p. 23. "Platonism...was part of the general Nature worship; it was attempting to renew Paganism, and was the recognised and leading tenet in the higher Mysteries. In early Christianity, the Christ had been this Being which connected mankind with the Eternal Father." - Milman (History of Christianity, Volume 2, p. 355) "This Platonic philosophy was adopted by...all those who in this second century presided in the schools of the Christians at Alexandria, Athenagoras, Pantaenus, and Clemens Alexandria." - Mosheim, Fourth Century Ecclesiastical History "This cultivation of pagan philosophy by Christian teachers greatly displeased those who were attached to the ancient simple faith, as taught by Christ and His apostles; for they feared, what afterwards actually happened, that the purity and excellence of divine truth would suffer by it." - The Translator of Mosheim's Ecclesiastical History, James Murdock, D.D. "The solemn dedication of the church of St. Sophia was celebrated by a prelate who denied the differences between the Father and the Son. The whole Christian world was in confusion; these fatal feuds penetrated almost as far as the Gospel itself had reached." - Milman, History of Christianity, Vol. 2 p. 447. "The Trinity and the Incarnation have never been learned from Scripture. Surely the sacred volume was never intended, and is not adapted to teach us our creed...From the very first, the rule has been, as a matter of fact, for the Church to teach the truth, and then appeal to Scripture in vindication of it's own teaching." - Cardinal Newman Arians of the Fourth Century, pp. 55-56. "Our belief in the Trinity...are in Scripture nowhere to be found." - Richard Hooker The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity, book 1, sect. 14. "The doctrine of the Trinity...is not taught in the Holy Scriptures. What we profess in our prayers, we nowhere read in Scripture...There is no such text in Scripture as this." - Bishop Smalridge Sermons, No. 33, p. 348. "The Triple Godhead...is nowhere taught in Scripture." - The Oxford Doctors Tracts for the Times, vol. 1, No. 45; vol. No. 85. "This Trinity doctrine does not...belong to the fundamental articles of the Christian faith; as appears from the fact that it is not set forth in any passage of the New Testament; for the only one in which this is done, the passage relating to the three that bear record (1 John 5:7), is undoubtedly spurious (false, a forged later addition)...the preaching of Jesus Christ as the Messiah; and the foundation of His religion is designated by Christ, as faith in the only true God and also in Jesus Christ whom God hath sent." - Dr. Neander History of Christian Religion and Church, vol. 2, p. 286. "The God of the Old Testament is also the God of the New Testament. Christ and the apostles accepted what Moses and the prophets had taught concerning God; they assigned to Him no other attributes than had already been assigned to Him." - Encyclopedia Britannica, Art., "Theism." "Well, be assured that the God that the Jews worship - is the very same God that we worship. Their sacred writings, the Law and the Prophets, we revere and read aloud in our meetings. And because we worship this God of the Jews, the one thing we cannot be accused of is novelty." - Glimpses Issue #139: Why Early Christians Were So Despised;Ken Curtis PH.D., Beth Jacobson, Diana Severance Ph.D., Ann T. Snyder and Dan Graves. 2003 by Christian History Institute. "The Octavius of Minicius Felix" (2nd century A.D.) "Jesus' teachings are exclusively within Jewish values and teachings. Modern Christianity . . . does not adhere to many of Jesus' original teachings. Early Christianity was an integral part of Judaism of the period. Jesus . . . never intended to either abandon Judaism, or to create a new religion. The creation of the independent Christian Church outside the framework of Judaism took place many years later by those who neither knew the man Jesus, nor the meanings of His difficult native Hebrew." - Opher Segal, YD, vol. 5, no. 6. "And God said moreover to Moses, Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, the Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial to all generations." (Exodus 3:15) - KJV Bible "The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Son Jesus; whom you delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go." (Acts 3:13) - KJV Bible "Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith." (Romans 3:29-30) - KJV Bible "As a follower of Christ, Peter used God's name, Jehovah. When Peters speech was put on record the Tetragrammaton (YHWH/Jehovah) was here used according to the practice during the first century B.C.E. and the first century C.E." - Paul Kahle; Studia Evangelica, edited by Kurt Aland, F. Cross, Jean Danielou, Harald Riesenfeld and W. C. van Unnik, Berlin, 1959, p. 614 "This Trinity dogma...We cannot be called upon to believe that which we do not understand, and which, after all, is only handed down to us by tradition." - The Duke of Sussex Former President of Royal Society (Quoted Stannus, Origin Doctrine Trinity, pp. 20). "For that anyone should be both Father and Son...it is not a mystery - but rather a contradiction." - Dr. South; "Trinity debate" with Dr. Sherlock; (Sermons, vol. 3, p. 240.) "We must not...involve ourselves in the darkness of this mystery, as to deny that glory which is clearly due unto the Father alone..." - Bishop Pearson Exposition of the Creed, vol. 1, p. 47. "The early Christians adopted the monotheistic views of the Jews." - Hagen History of Doctrines, vol. 1, p. 124 Christ: Submissive to God "The Lord Jesus uniformly represented Himself as performing all His acts...in the most perfect subservience to the will of His Father, and in full dependence upon Him; and this fact He stated in a variety of expressions, and on different occasions, so as to manifest andto impress it deeply on His followers." - Dr. J. Pye Smith, Scripture Testimony to the Messiah, vol. ii., p. 300. The Trinity Doctrine Used for Evil An Eyewitness Account Michael Servetus Villanovanus burned at the stake for rejecting "the trinity" doctrine. 27th of October 1553 "Shortly after twelve o'clock, a procession started from the town-hall of Geneva. The chief magistrates of the city, the clergy in their robes, the Lieutenant Criminel and other officers on horseback... and in their midst, with arms bound, in shabby, dirty clothes, walked a man of middle age, whose intellectual face bore the marks of long suffering... Mounting the hill, the field of Champel was reached, and here on sight eminence was the fateful stake, with dangling chains and heaping bundles of faggots. At this sight the poor victim prostrated himself on the ground in prayer.... 'Misericordia, misericordia! Jesus, thou Son of the eternal God, have compassion upon me!' Bound to the stake by the iron chains, with a chaplet of straw and green twigs covered with sulphur on his head, with long dark face, it is said that he looked like the Christ in whose name he was bound. Around his waist were tied a large bundleof manuscript and a thick octavo printed book. The torch was applied, and as the flames spread to the straw and sulphur and flashed in his eyes, there was a piercing cry that struck terror into the hearts of the bystanders. The faggots (wood sticks) were green, the burning was slow, and it was long before in a last agony he cried again, 'Jesu, thou Son of the eternal God, have mercy on me!' Thus died in his forty-fourth year, Michael Servetus Villanovanus, physician, physiologist, and heretic. ...he remained faithful unto death to what he believed was the Truth as revealed in the Bible." - The execution scene as described by Sir William Osler "To enforce the decisions (about the trinity) of the Council of Nicea, Constantine commanded, with the death penalty for disobedience......." - A History of Christianity Volume 1 1997 Kenneth Scott Latourette "The day was to come when the Nicene party won out completely and then the emperors, who wished to prevent any more such quarrels, decreed that one who denied the Trinity should be put to death." -The Church of our Fathers - 1950, pg. 46 "The doctrine that Jesus Christ the Son of Godwas God the son was decreed by worldly and ecclesiastical powers. Men were forced to accept it at the point of the sword or else. Thus, the error of the trinity was propounded to the end that ultimately people believed it to be the truth. Thus Christianity became in essence like Babylonian heathenism, with only a veneer of Christian names." - Forgers of the Word -1983 Victor Paul Wierwille "When we look back through the long ages of the reign of the Trinity . . .we shall perceive that few doctrines have produced more unmixed evil." - (A Statement of Reasons for Not Believing the Doctrine of the Trinitarians Concerning the Nature of God and the Person of Christ); by Andrews Norton; 1833. </p><strong>About the Author:</strong><br />Theosophy, Revelations Illustrated, The Two Babylons, The Worship of the Dead, All Roads Lead to Babylon, Babylon Mystrery Religion, Historian Will Durant, Hagen History of Doctrines, Is The Trinity Scriptural?, The Church Fathers, Forgers of the Word, Andrew Norton, K.S.
