Actually, this question is a little more complex then it first appears.

In the immediate centuries before the acceptance of Christianity, classical polytheism greatly influenced and shaped the Kemetic system. Many of the more 'barbaric' elements were purged and were replaced with a far more ordered and rationalistic system, one that merged with the many outward manifestations of the ancient Kemetic faith but increasingly regarded them as little more then a symbolic veneer. One of the most well-used narratives was the inter-linking triad of Isis, Osiris and Horus, which came to be seen as particulary illuminative, at least when interpreted correctly. (Ironically, this late polytheistic leaning was in turn regarded as just as 'barbaric')

This trend has tended to be emphasised and built upon by the various ensuing accounts and recordings of the Kemetic faith from first Pagan and then Christian sources, whom generally accented elements that were familiar.

However; as to the question in the OP, no. Throughout its existence, even with the final polytheistic leanings, the evolving Kemetic faith has perceived and communicated about the divine from ways and in means that were, and are, radically different from any contemporary Christian viewpoint.

In truth the Ancient Egyptians never talked about 'God' or 'gods', or at least not as would be understood today. To quote myself;

... the Kemetic system in itself isn't really pantheistic, nor is it really theistic. The conceptions of the divine it holds tend to be somewhat ambiguous and, as you said, fluid. (Part of the problem arises from the difficulty in translating the term Netjer; it tends to be read as meaning either 'Gods' or 'Forces of Nature', neither of which on its own is entirely adequate)

Incidentally, the Wiki article on this issue is both extremely unreliable and poopy.

What about Ra and Osiris and Anubis and the gang, where they not the pantheon of gods? Or the trinity?
