What this resource contributes

The Gathas of Zoroaster Placed Beside the Gospels of Jesus — and the Identity of the God They Both Describe BY DIESEL THE MAGUS · EFIRE TEMPLE · THE OLDEST FLAME This is the demonstration piece. The first article assembled the Father from Jesus's direct speech. The second documented the specific Zoroastrian elements Jesus carried — the Magi, the Padyab, the Persian word paradise , the Chinvat structure of Matthew 25, the fire of Luke 12. The third established that the Father Jesus described cannot be identified with the Yahweh of the conquest narratives, and that the textual scholarship of the last century has been quietly demonstrating this from multiple directions. What remains is the demonstration itself. The Gathas placed beside the Gospels. The words of Zoroaster placed beside the words of Jesus. Characteristic by characteristic, in the texts themselves.
