[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 979516, member: 2189"] Trinitarian doctrine was a 4th century CE introduction that was mostly a political compromise (Council of Nicea 325 CE) in order to bring christianity under one idea. One of the first examples of a triun godhead was from Zoroastrian influences from Persia in the 6th century BCE. An influence of which the captive Israelites from Jerusalem would have been fully immersed in during their captivity and if one studies post captive life and religious ideas, a major shift in expression and thinking occurred and most scholars point to around this time period that early old testament writings also began to appear and replacing oral traditions. Biblical linguists and textual scholars point to the era of 600 BCE and afterwards that monotheism became the dominate religous idea and replacing the older polytheism as the construct of Yahweh alone was born and cemented in jewish culture. Many also point to the Persian/Zoroasterian Mithra, later Roman Mithraism as a templet for the Jesus model of christianity. The parallels are quite striking but the debate continues as to the accuracy with scholarship opinions varying widely. [/QUOTE]
