Syncretismas!
Article by Martin G. CollinsNimrod, known in Egypt as Osiris, was a significant figure in the origin of Christmas, recognized as the founder of the first world empire at Babel, later called Babylon. After his death around 2167 BC, his mother and wife, Semiramis, promoted the belief that he was a god. She claimed to have seen a full-grown evergreen tree spring from a dead stump, symbolizing new life for Osiris. On his birthday, coinciding with the winter solstice at the end of December, Semiramis said Osiris would visit the evergreen tree and leave gifts beneath it. This narrative contributed to the deceptive traditions that later blended into the celebration of Christmas, intertwining pagan rites with other cultural elements over time.

Fishy Syncretism
Commentary by Martin G. CollinsThe fish symbol, deeply rooted in ancient pagan traditions, carries significant connections to various deities, including Osiris. In one notable tale, the fish is linked to the story of Osiris, where it is said to have swallowed his sexual organ, symbolizing a connection to fertility and reproduction. Additionally, the fish was considered a representation of the sexual organ of Isis, further emphasizing its association with themes of birth and feminine sexuality in ancient mythologies.

Misconceptions and Malarkey About the Holy Spirit (Part One)
'Ready Answer' by David F. MaasOsiris belongs to the Egyptian form of the Trinity, the triad of Osiris, Isis, and Horus. This triad is one of many tributaries flowing from a single source of idolatry in Babylon, whose original trinity was Nimrod, Semiramis, and Tammuz. Other cultures carry the same germinal idea under different names: the Sumerian Anu, Enlil, and Enki; the Greek Zeus, Athena, and Apollo; the Roman Jupiter, Hera, and Minerva; the Hindu Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva; and the Scandinavian Odin, Thor, and Frea. Each culture modifies the stock symbols to suit itself, yet the basic concept stays the same. The Trinity therefore has its roots in pagan mythology, not in Christianity. Osiris and his Egyptian triad show that trinitarian belief existed in Egypt long before the doctrine entered the Christian church through the Cappadocian Fathers and the Council of Constantinople in AD 382.
