This here is another in the books of the word of god. Perhaps somewhere
within it you can find the links within all the holy books that might
just increase you understanding of mankind.

Perhaps not. As most of you have closed your minds.

Zorastorism is an ancient Persion religion. Thier messiah was Mithra.
The priests were called Magi. They are the ones who came to the Messiah
Yahshua and probally believed it was Mithra reborn refused to report
back to Herod. The religion is very similiar to christianity. They
believe mithra will appear at any times. I saw once that thier are 5000
practicing Zorasterism followers in the USA today. Miles

AB, just googled it, it's quite a read and it will take ages to sort all
that out. If you wish I will give you the link I used.

The prophet that founded Zorastrainism was Zoraster. Also know ans
Zaruthsta(sp?). He was the third Prophet to apply the concept of a
single God within the pagan world concept of many gods.

The first being Abraham. The second being Krishna. Although some of
the followers of this religion make claim that it is the oldest amoung
the revealed religions of Monotheisum archology has dated the writings
of Krishna to about 3000 BC but the proven writings within the Zend
Avesta of Zoroaster have only been dated to about 1500 BC.

He taught that mankind should have a loving relationship with god.

If you want more information search for Avesta. Or Zend Avesta. Or
just google Zoroaster.

Ok I'm off to google.....

invisible..could ya post the link eh?

Google Parsi, that's what they are usually called.

What do you guys think about the fact that you can only be a Parsi by
birth? You can't convert or marry in. It's an exclusive club. If a
Parsi woman marries a non-Parsi, she is disowned from her family and no
longer allowed into a Parsi temple.

Parsi is a sub sect of Zoroastrianism. Much like say the 7th day
adventist is to christianity.

Even they have started allowing believers from other nationalities to
join. As all things change so do those that have stiff traditions.

I've gone and read many things..enlightening it was.

Paris is just a sect, and yes "outsiders" can join now, why even Freddie
Mercury(Queen) was Parsi, though it is a selective few that are allowed
in.

I'm far from done researching and reading about Zoraster, much more is
out there. I tend to be a bit sponge like, I want to know as much as I
can possibly soak up about many different ways of the paths.

Lots of interesting stuff.

During the time of Zoroaster they had medical schools and doctors that
were way beyond those that existed during the times of the romans.

The reforms of Zoroaster retained the multitudes of pre-Zoroastrian
divinities, reducing them in a complex hierarchy to "immortals" who,
under the supremacy of the Creator Ahura Mazda, were now either ahuras
or daevas. In this scheme, Mithra is a member of the ahuric triad,
protectors of asha, the order of the universe. Mithra is additionally
the protector of truth and justice and the source of cosmic light. In
Middle Persian Mithra came to be known as Meher.


Relief from Taq-i Bostan in Kermanshah, Iran, showing Ardashir I of
Sassanid Empire at the center receiving his crown from Ahura Mazda. The
two stand on a prostrate enemy. Here at the left is Mithra as a priest,
wearing a crown of sun-rays, holding a priest's barsam, and standing on
a sacred lotus.Mithra is not present in the Gathas of Zarathustra
(Zoroaster) but appears in the younger Yashts of the Avesta (Campbell p
257). There, Mithra comes to the fore among the created beings. "I
created him" Ahura Mazda declares to Zoroaster, "to be as worthy of
sacrifice and as worthy of prayer as myself" (Campbell, loc. cit.). In
the Yashts, Mithra gains the title of "Judge of Souls" and is assigned
the domain of human welfare (which he shares with the Creator). Mithra
occupies an intermediate position in the Zoroastrian hierarchy as the
greatest of the yazata, created by Ahura Mazda (Ormuzd in later Persian)
to aid in the destruction of evil and the administration of the world.
He is then the divine representative of the Creator on earth, and is
directed to protect the righteous from the demonic forces of Angra
Mainyu (Ahriman in later Persian).

As the protector of truth and the enemy of error, Mithra occupied an
intermediate position in the Zoroastrian pantheon as the greatest of the
yazatas, the beings created by Ahuramazda to aid in the destruction of
evil and the administration of the world. He was thus a divinity of the
realms of air and light, and, by transfer to the moral realm, the
manifestation of truth and loyalty. As the enemy of darkness and evil
spirits, he protected souls, accompanying them to paradise, and was thus
a redeemer. Because light is accompanied by heat, he was the promoter of
vegetation and increase; he rewarded the good with prosperity and
annihilated the bad
