Why do some Christians have the triangle what does that represent?

Is it a sun triangle?

[jimwalton]

I've never seen a Christian wearing a triangle, but I found this on the Internet. Is this helpful?

http://www.newhousefoundation.org/subpage4.html

According to the article, different people wear them for different reasons, using them to symbolize different things. It guesses that Christians wear them to symbolize the Trinity and their faith in Jesus. I didn't read it thoroughly, but it looks like the triangle is mostly a pagan symbol.

Right its the same as a equilateral triangle and just take away the 0 it's wickedness honestly look up Tertullian

[jimwalton]

I don't know what you mean by "take away the 0." If it's an equilateral triangle, there is no zero.

When I look up Tertullian, I find a lot of stuff about Tertullian. Where are you talking about in the writings of Tertullian where he mentions the triangle?

How does a equilateral triangle equal?all degrees each side is 60 correct?

[jimwalton]

Can't argue with that. Every angle in an equilateral triangle is 60º. No question there. But I still can't figure out what you mean by "take away the 0." Ohhhh, wait a minute. Do you mean "666"? So you think the triangle means the mark of the beast? Whoa, that sounds WAAAAAY out there. That sounds like quite a stretch to me.

That article I linked (and I admitted I know very little about this symbol) mentions delta, daleth, obelisks, gateways, fish, gates of hell, pan, goats, and star worship (Sirius), but I don't see anything about the mark of the beast or 666. Or are you just extrapolating?

You believe in the equivalent triangle that represents a trinity?and a equilateral triangle really represents the numbers or degrees which adds up to 60 on each side but just take away the 0s Its triple 6..Which 360 degrees is a whole and the Babylonins used Sexagram based 60 number system which we use today for instant 60 secs in a minute 60 minutes in a hr nvm maybe if you're interested and questions everything like me then it'll find you I don't want to go to deep

[jimwalton]

> You believe in the equivalent triangle that represents a trinity?

No, I didn't say that and don't claim that. The linked article made one reference to that, but there's no biblical reference to that. So if some jewelry maker thought that was cool, good for them, but, no, I wouldn't say the equilateral triangle represents a trinity.

So what you've written here doesn't prove anything about the trinity having its source in Babylon and whatever else you said. The trinity is the idea that in Christianity, God is three persons in one essence. That has nothing to do with the Babylonian hexagram, but we can talk about it further if you wish.

Its so much deep to type every thing but yes 666..but here's a question as we believe there's a "god" which there's a deeper meaning behind that and there is the devil now think don't you think he would be doing his job to deceive not just one or a bunch of people but the whole world which he is the prince of the air and this world and I can prove it from the Bible everything is in there..but Tammuz, Semiramis, and Nimrod = “trinity” ... of which was demanded by Semiramis to be worshipped bc nimrod was both the father and the son.Nimrod was the sun God and his mother was supposedly the queen of heaven (moon god)hints Sun+day and Moon or mon +day And there were actually 36 others gods smh that most don't know about but if you add up 1+2+3 etc all the way to 36..tell me what you get?lol its gets deep that's all I don't want to explain to much but always questions and do more research so you know who you're really worshipping and tbh most ppl unknowning are worshipping Baal smh my bad Satan

[jimwalton]

> don't you think he would be doing his job to deceive not just one or a bunch of people but the whole world which he is the prince of the air and this world

Yes, Matthew 24 indicates that Satan is out to deceive the whole world. 2 Thessalonians 2.1-12 indicates that the deceit will not be limited to one geographic area; he works to deceive *all* who are perishing.

> Tammuz, Semiramis, and Nimrod = “trinity”

Um, you didn't make your case here. All you did was list 3 names. Tammuz was the Mesopotamian (Sumerian) god of fertility; Semiramis was an Assyrian deity (not ancient Sumerian/Babylonian) and associated with Ishtar and Astarte; Nimrod is also Mesopotamian/Babylonian. But there's nothing about these deities that has anything to do with the concept of Trinity. You've named three gods. Big deal. Nimrod has many various interpretations and iterations associated with him, but "trinitarian" isn't one of them.

> nimrod was both the father and the son

This isn't trinitarian. This is two.

> Nimrod was the sun God and his mother was supposedly the queen of heaven (moon god)hints Sun+day and Moon or mon +day

This isn't trinitarian. Nimrod was the sun, his mama was the moon. So what? Sunday, Monday, who cares. This isn't trinitarian.

> And there were actually 36 others gods

Then this is nowhere close to trinitarian. In a polytheistic culture, these deities were not thought of as being a single essence, which is what trinitarian theology is: 3 persons in one unified essence.

> if you add up 1+2+3 etc all the way to 36..tell me what you get?

666. so what. If there were 39 gods, what does adding 1...36 accomplish? You say it gets deep, but it has nothing to do with trinity.

> Do you know who you're really worshipping

Yes, I'm worshiping Jesus, and that has nothing to do with the false gods of ancient Sumer and Assyria.

In addition, no one really knows what's behind John's "mark" of 666. It may be gematria; it may be symbolic; numerology—who knows.

Bruston, along with you, thinks the reference is to Babylon (which fits with the symbolism of Revelation) and Nimrod, or Ninurta, as he may have been called. But the book of Revelation is also clear that 666 ≠ Jesus, and is matter of factly His antithesis. But this is just one guess among dozens. It carries no weight. But again, there's nothing about Nimrod that is trinitarian. Your claim was that the trinity came from Babylonian culture, a claim you haven't yet gotten close to proving.
