Ahura Mazda: The Father Revealed Through Jesus’ Words
In Zoroastrian belief, Ahura Mazda stands as the source of all truth ( Asha ), the ultimate Father whose wisdom sustains the cosmos. This understanding of a benevolent, singular Creator contrasts sharply with the Old Testament portrayal of Yahweh, often depicted as a tribal, vengeful deity. When we examine Jesus’ teachings, it becomes clear that the Father Jesus spoke of—compassionate, universal, and rooted in truth—is fundamentally different from the warrior God of the Hebrew scriptures.
