Morenz, Siegfried: Egyptian Religion ... It is dishonest for JW's not to tell us that Morenz trashes the whole of Christianity as borrowed from the pagans not just trinity doctrine. In one of the most deceptive examples of selective quoting we have ever seen, is this: The next sentence after the JW's quote: "In this way the spiritual force of Egyptian religion shows a direct link with Christian theology." Morenz says: "In order to avoid any gross misunderstanding, we must at once emphasize that the substance of the Christian Trinity is of course Biblical". What Morenz is saying is that the Bible itself contains the doctrine of the trinity and that it is of pagan origin. Morenz is trashing the Whole Bible in saying this! It is absolutely unforgivable deception that JW's would quote ... This distich contains the acclamation just mentioned, which goes back at least to the Amon theology of the Ramesside period; the one God (father of the cosmos) has as his attributes (to use the Egyptian terminology) three #prw or Nw, 'forms' or ... ... https://www.bible.ca/trinity/trinity-Morenz.htm
