So, you mention this scripture:Matt. 17:12, 13: “ ‘Elijah has already come and they did not recognize him but did with him the things they wanted. In this way also the Son of man is destined to suffer at their hands.’ Then the disciples perceived that he spoke to them about John the Baptist.”Did this mean that John the Baptist was a reincar…[Read more]

I also found this in that website which I must ask about. A very interesting point in zoroastrianism is that “good thought” is the source of human behavior and at the same time it is subject to culture. Therefore, if any of the Zarathustra’s sayings is against the current knowledge of the people, they are allowed to ignore it.So, does that last…[Read more]

Forgive my ignorance. Another question.Zarathustra says in Yasna 31:8 “O’ Mazda, when I was looking for you with my wisdom and speculation faculties and tried to find you with the eye of my heart, I recognized that you are the starter and the end of everything, you are the source of wisdom and reflection and you are the creator of tru…[Read more]

I don't think the Bible's teachings are in any way compatible with reincarnation. Yes, there are a couple of scriptures, if taken at first glance, that do seem to indicate reincarnation.But there are others that simply do not allow it.Genesis 2:7 states: “Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his n…[Read more]

Kejonn, I'm wondering if you could tell us why you believe in zoroastrianism. How did you arrive at that? Is it because you have one set of beliefs and you feel that this matches up best with what you believe? And if so, is that an indication that it is true?
