RE: What is the origin of the Trinity?
I like the thought process but where are you getting your information? There is a closer tie to trinity relationship, the 3 being only 1, from looking at polytheistic goddesses than trying to make your neat little family unit. The maiden, the mother and the crone can be seen in the mixup and similar names and semi-interchangeable identities of Freyja, Freya, Frigg. It has been argued for the Grecian combo of Hekate, Hera and Persephone, but that is often contested, yet at least seen in combo with an unspoken reason thru the Elusian mysteries. There is also a trinity within Hinduism, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, that I was surprised you didn't speak on, all male. It's less about gender and more about that creation, destruction, maintenance dynamic.
It's funny I almost used Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva but I couldn't find any evidence that showed them passed from one culture to the next. Babylon was the start of false religion and pretty much most cultures post-flood so obviously in one way or another it was passed on to them, if you find the connection I would love to hear it. I find the study of religion very intriguing! One book that is a source for some of this is "mankind's search for God" but a lot of it comes from snippets of other books. I've spent all my life studying these subjects so it's a collection of sources. I did Google a lot of it to double check my work for accuracy.
Babylon was a trade city. India is a pretty isolated place but trade does leave there in ancient times. The gypsies black, black hair comes from genetic ties with India, and the large amount of scarves comparative to Sari use in India, a culture that was passed on yet not kept completely in tact, I'm thinking. And with the Gospel of Thomas from the Dead Sea Scrolls came quite a Buddhist view of things that made historians start wondering if the 13 years Jesus is just walking and wandering, undocumented in the Bible, was he visiting India and getting spiritually trained there. His ideas are similar to Buddhist and Indian ascetic thinking.
The 13 years undocumented? Are you referring to his childhood? During the time after leaving Egypt, he lived in Nazareth seeing as he was called "the Nazarene".
You idea on India and Babylon is sound and completely possible. Usually something bigger contributes to adopting religious view but I'm not saying what you said isn't possible. I'll accept it
I also meant to use Baal, Tammuz and Ashoreth; which was the the gods of the Israelites when they turned to false gods.
