The “Trinity”: “三位一体”：
Now let us study the “Trinity” and its roots in ancient pagan worship.现在让我们学习“三位一体”和古代异教崇拜的根源。 The “Trinity” of Christendom, as defined in the creed of Nicea, is a merging of three distinct entities into one single entity, while remaining three distinct entities. “三位一体”的基督教，如在尼西亚信条的定义，是三个不同的实体合并为一个单一的实体，而其余三个不同的实体。 We are told to speak of the three gods as one god, and never as three gods which would be considered heresy (Isaiah 43:10).我们被告知说，作为一个神的三神，而从未担任三个将被视为异端（以赛亚书43:10）神。 They are considered to be co-eternal, co-substantial, and co-equal.他们被认为是共同永恒的，合作重大，合作的平等。 However, only the first was self existent.然而，只有首先是自我存在的。 The others preceded from the first.前面的人从第一。 This Neo-Platonic philosophical doctrine has its roots not in the inspiration of God, but in ancient paganism.这种新柏拉图主义的哲学学说有其根源不是神的灵感，但在古代异教。 Most ancient religions were built upon some sort of threefold distinction.最古老的宗教是建立在一些三倍区别排序。 Deities were always trinities of some kind or consisted of successive emanation in threes.神灵总是某种三位一体或接二连三的连续射气组成。
In India we find the doctrine of the divine trinity called “Tri-murti” (Three-forms) consisting of Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva.在印度，我们发现所谓的神圣三位一体“三摩提”（三形式）的梵天，毗湿奴和湿婆组成的学说。 It is an inseparable unity though three in form.这是一个不可分割的统一虽然在形式上3。 Worshipers are told to worship them as one deity.信徒被告知他们是一神崇拜。 Such concepts posed no problem to the logic of a Hindu worshipper since they were already used to worshipping gods with the body of a man and the head of an elephant(Ganesh), or monkey-faced gods (Hanuman), or gods with six arms, and so forth.这些概念构成任何问题的一个印度教信徒的逻辑，因为他们已经习惯崇拜与一名男子的尸体和一个象（Ganesh神头神），或猴面神（哈努曼），或六臂神，等等。 Remember, classical Hinduism dates back to at least 500BC, with roots extending as far back as 2000BC.请记住，古典印度教追溯到至少500BC，以延长早在2000BC根源。
The Brahmas also have their trinity.该Brahmas也有他们的三位一体。 In their trinity, Vajrapani, Manjusri, and Avalokitesvara form a divine union of three gods into one god called “Buddha.” The citizens of China and Japan also worship Buddha, but they know him as “Fo.” When they worship him they say “Fo, is one god but has three forms.”在他们的三位一体，金刚手，文殊，观音和神形成所谓的“佛。”和日本的中国公民也拜佛1 1 3神神圣联盟，但他们知道，“他。”当他们崇拜他，他们说“因为，是一个神，但有三种形式。”
Sir William Jones says:威廉爵士琼斯说：
“Very respectable natives have assured me, that one or two missionaries have been absurd enough to in their zeal for the conversion of the Gentiles, to urge that the Hindoos were even now almost Christians; because their Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesa (Siva), were no other than the Christian Trinity.” “非常尊敬的当地人向我保证，一个或两个传教士已经够荒谬的，在他们的热情转化的外邦人，促请当局Hindoos甚至现在几乎基督徒，因为他们的梵天，毗湿奴，和Mahesa系（湿婆） ，并不比其他基督教三位一体。“

The ancient Egyptians also worshipped a trinity.古埃及人也崇拜三位一体。 Their symbol of a wing, a globe, and a serpent is supposed to have stood for the different attributes of their god.他们的象征，一个机翼，一个地球，一个蛇是应该有自己站在神的不同属性。
The Greeks also had their trinities.希腊人也有自己的三位一体。 When making their sacrifices to their gods, they would sprinkle holy water on the altar three times, they would then sprinkle the people three times also.当他们作出牺牲，他们的神，他们将洒在坛上三次圣水，他们就会洒在人的3倍还。 Frankincense was then taken with three fingers and strewed upon the alter three times.乳香当时采取的三个手指，并呼吁改变三次strewed。 All of this was done because the oracle had proclaimed that all sacred things ought to be in threes.所有这一切都是因为在甲骨文已经宣布，所有神圣的东西应该是接二连三的。 Remember that the philosophy of these people (The Greeks) is what was primarily responsible for defining the Christian “Trinitarian” nature of God.请记住，这些人（希腊人），主要是为确定基督教的“三位一体”的神哲学的性质负责。 This was done through the writings of the Greek philosopher Plato regarding his “Logos” (“word”).这是通过对古希腊哲学家柏拉图关于他的“逻各斯”（“字的著作”）。 Further, remember that the Gospels of the Bible were named the “Greek Gospels” for a reason: they were written in their language and based upon their philosophy.此外，请记住，圣经的福音被命名为“希腊福音”的一个原因：他们写在他们的语言，并呼吁他们的哲学基础。
As mentioned previously, TW Doane says:如前所述，荃湾多恩说：
“The works of Plato were extensively studied by the Church Fathers, one of whom joyfully recognizes in the great teacher, the schoolmaster who, in the fullness of time, was destined to educate the heathen for Christ, as Moses did the Jews. “工程进行了广泛的教父，其中高兴地承认，在伟大的老师，谁，在适当的时候，是注定要教育为基督异教徒校长之一，摩西犹太人研究了柏拉图。 The celebrated passage : “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word Was God” is a fragment of some Pagan treatise on the Platonic philosophy, evidently written by Irenaeus.著名的一段话：“在开始的话语，道与神同在，道就是上帝”是柏拉图哲学的一些异教徒论文片段，明显的爱任纽写的。 It is quoted by Amelius, a Pagan philosopher as strictly applicable to the Logos, or Mercury, the Word, apparently as an honorable testimony borne to the Pagan deity by a barbarian……..We see then that the title “Word” or “Logos,” being applied to Jesus, is another piece of Pagan amalgamation with Christianity.这是引述Amelius，作为严格适用于标识，或汞，字，显然是一个光荣的证词承担由野蛮... ... ..我们就来看看他们的异教神的异教徒哲学家的标题“”或“字商标，“被应用到基督，是另一种异教与基督教合并一块。 It did not receive its authorized Christian form until the middle of the second century after Christ.它没有收到直到21世纪中叶后，基督第二次及其授权基督教形式。 The ancient pagan Romans worshipped a Trinity.古代异教的罗马人崇拜三位一体。 An oracle is said to have declared that there was 'First God, then the Word, and with them the Spirit'.甲骨文是一个据说已经宣布，有'第一上帝，那么这个词，并与他们的精神'。 Here we see the distinctly enumerated, God, the Logos, and the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost, in ancient Rome, where the most celebrated temple of this capital – that of Jupiter Capitolinus – was dedicated to three deities, which three deities were honored with joint worship.”在这里我们看到了明显的枚举，上帝，理性，和圣灵或圣灵，在古代罗马，在那里，这种资本最有名的寺庙 - 木星Capitolinus的 - 是献给三神，其中3人荣获神联合崇拜。“

Trinities were not confined to these groups alone, but the Persians, the Assyrians, the Phoenicians, the Scandinavians, the Druids, the inhabitants of Siberia, the ancient Mexicans, the Peruvians, and many others, all worshipped “Trinitarian” pagan deities (among a great multitude of other gods) long before the council of Nicea of 325 CE officially recognized this to be God's “true” nature.三位一体并不局限于这些团体单，但波斯人，亚述人，腓尼基人，斯堪的纳维亚人，德鲁伊教，西伯利亚的居民，古墨西哥人，秘鲁人，和许多人一样，都崇拜“三位一体”异教神（除一大群的其他神长前的325尼西亚议会）行政长官正式承认这是神的“真正”的性质。
