The actual origin of the Trinity Doctrine predates Christianity. The ancient Babylonians and other Pagan nations all worshiped in a Trinity form. Satan invented his own counterfeit church and Trinity Doctrine. The true roots of the Trinity are very occulted and pagan. The Babylonians used the equilateral triangle to symbolize the Trinity just like the (Orthodox and Catholic Churches) do today. Many ancient pagan nations had three headed gods and a Trinity Doctrine. All these have existed from ancient times. While overlaid with idolatry, the recognition (and worship) of a Trinity was UNIVERSAL. Understand more about the Trinity by visiting the site book:
