Development of Trinity Doctrine from the Old to the New Testament All the while, if they ever stopped to think, they would realize this is a satanic deception, illogical and utter hypocrisy! It is obvious that the Jews would reject the JW view of Jesus being "a god" (see Jn 10:33) as quickly as the Trinitarian view that Jesus was "THE God" (as Jn 20:28 teaches). Evidently, the Jews never made such distinctions as JW's do. This ... From Moses to Christ, God's name was YHWH (Yahweh or Jehovah). For Christians the name of God is JESUS! "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12) Certainly the Jews never foresaw the time when YHWH would no longer be used as the name for God and it would be replace with Jesus! But actually, in God's providence, the Jews were actually part of the change. The Septuagint was a translation in 250 BC from the Hebrew Old Testament by 70 scholars into Greek.

Satan: Many Christians look upon Satan as a quasi-deity; an all evil presence who is the opposite of the goodness of God. Satan and God are often portrayed as fighting over individuals' souls. This dual divinity has obvious links to Zoroastrianism which was incorporated into ancient Jewish legends which, in turn, were later codified as parts of the book of Genesis. Other aspects of Satan were derived from ancient Greek and Babylonian beliefs. Unity interprets Satan's temptation of Jesus symbolically.

Gibbon, Edward: History of Christianity "If Paganism was conquered by Christianity, it is equally true that Christianity was corrupted by Paganism.

Many of the pagan tenets, invented by the Egyptians and idealized by Plato, were retained as being worthy of belief.
