What this resource contributes

The Faith of Zarathustra — Stated Plainly, Without Apology eFireTemple.com One God We believe in one God . His name is Ahura Mazda — the Wise Lord. He is uncreated. He is eternal. He is the source of all goodness, all truth, and all light. He created the universe with His thought. He sustains it with His will. He will bring it to perfection at the end of time. Ahura Mazda is not a tribal god. He is not the god of one people or one nation. He is the God of all creation — every person, every creature, every element, every star. He does not favor one nation over another. He does not choose one people and reject the rest. He is universal. He is also not distant. He is present in His creation — in fire, in water, in earth, in plants, in animals, in the human soul. He is both transcendent and immanent. He is both beyond the world and within it. We do not make images of Him.
