Wanting to learn

[Huey09]

I have heard quite bit of the Zoroastrians, let me say first everything I heard was mostly positive and I want to know more, Any zoroastrians(or people semi versed in zoroastrianism) on here who can help me with questions and some scriptures I could read?

Wikipedia is a nice help. BBC and About.com also will have nice information to begin with.

They have a holy book, they believe in two Gods(light and darkness)
Their holy men are Magi, I heard that Jesus fulfilled a thousand year prophecy about the great prophet being born under the star

 

[Aupmanyav]

"The final savior of the world, Saoshyant, will be born to a virgin impregnated by the seed of Zoroaster while bathing in a lake. Saoshyant will raise the dead .. Saoshyant and Ahura Mazda will offer a bull as a final sacrifice for all time, and all men will become immortal."
Zoroastrianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If Jesus was the promised savior of Zoroastrianism, we should all have been immortal by now and there would have been no evil in the world. Therefore, Jesus is not.

"Her son, when born, will not know nourishment from his mother, his body will be sun-like, and the "royal glory" of Khwarenah will be with him. Then, for the next 57 years he will subsist on only vegetables (17 years), then only water (30 years) and then for the final 10 years only on "spiritual food.""

Also less likely, since Jesus ate bread and wine at the very least.

You people are all fundies. How dare you deny that Jesus fulfilled the thousand year old prophesy? Haven't you also heard that:

1)The Jews call him (Jesus) a good rabbi and an advanced kabbalist and the Hindus call him a yogI and sAdhu.

2) Hindu gods are fake (purely out of reasoning).

3) Yahweh is a Babylonian, not Canaanite, deity, and is the devil. Oh, and Hindu mUrti-s are "imposter" wannabe-s of Gnostic mo[ro]nad, who is the "one true god."

4) The ONE TRUE GOD, mo[ro]nad is NOT a DEITY (don't mind the fact that deity and god have the same meaning).

and lastly,
5) Pedophile godmen like rAmakR^iShNa "paramahaMsa" should be the custodians of your religion.

Disagree with me, and your arguments are nothing but fundamentalism. Herp derp...

Saoshyant does not know Buddha or his middle way. He is not aware of the Sanskrit adage 'Ati Sarvatra Varjayet' (Excess anywhere is prohibited).

Jas, where do Hindus enter the picture?

It doesn't; I was trying to make fun of CC's new-age gnostic beliefs and his obsession with Jesus. Can't you tell sarcasm, sheesh... Click on the statements and read the comments by CC on the links.
