Quote by: Boetie the trinity could be related to pagans. Doesn't anyone find it interesting that you have 12 signs in the Zodiac, 12 jewish tribes, and 12 disciples. It could be that older and more ancient practices existed and found its way into the stories of the Jews and Christians. |
12 was also Rome's perfect number, like our 10. When you had 12 people, it was enough for a group. That probably influenced the disciple list. As well as the tribes that we have no account for. As for the Zodiac, I suppose that's mere coincidence, something theists love happening, because for some unknown reason coincidence also means God was involved.
