Masquerade: Take a look at my thread here about a Triune God foreshadowed in the Old Testament...

Also ... The Egyptions beleived in THREE GODS, that is called a TRIAD. I know the word "trinity" does not exist in the Bible, and just because it doesn't exist it doesn't mean that God is not in three persons. The word Trinity is often used to describe God, The God of the Bible is triune.
In nature you see many examples of 1 substance being composed of three things, but yet be one thing, you can get your mind around that, but you cant get your mind around this?
The reason is because your probably not here to learn, but to argue with people. While your here, do some reading before being quick to make new topics, and learn what people have been saying. It will be good for you.
In hinduism there is a similar concept, there are THREE GODS ... Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu ... three clearly distinct gods. That is called a triad my friend, not one God in three persons.
In Egypt, the triad they had was Osiris, Horus and Isis. Again, three gods, not one god in three persons.
Make sure you read my thread, because it will give you some insight as to the fact that this is not paganistic. If you've picked up a Bible without have a critical heart and genuinely wanted to search for the truth, you might have uncovered that Satan was an Angel at onetime, and when he rebelled against God, he was thrown out of Heaven along with 1/3 of the other Angelic hosts.
my understanding is that because Satan was an Angel in heaven (his name was Lucifer in heaven, the light bearer) he knew that God was Triune, and he has put in the concept of three gods in paganistic religions like hinduism and in Ancient Egyption beleifs to pervert the fact that God is triune, like you yourself beleive that this came out of an already existing pagan concept, so you think that Christianity is paganism, well ... Satan's already deceived you.
Read my thread like i said, it will help you to understand.
