Zoroastrianism is a monotheistic faith founded in Persia around 600 BCE by Zoroaster, believing in one supreme god called Ahura Mazda. It originated in Bactra and teaches of an eternal duality between good and evil, represented by Ahura Mazda and his twin brother Ahriman. Followers are called to follow the path of truth and righteousness under Ahura Mazda to attain salvation and the house of good mind after death, rather than following the lie of Ahriman and dwelling in the house of the lie. Fire plays an important role in Zoroastrian worship as a messenger between people and God.

Zoroastrianism
Zoroastrianism was a classical Persian belief system founded by Zoroaster, who preached a message of moral reform during an age of materialism. The religion's primary sacred text is the Avesta, which includes hymns and prayers written by Zoroaster. Zoroastrianism believes in monotheism and supremacy of the wise lord Ahura Mazda over all other gods. It also believes in dualism where the universe and human soul are a battlefield between Ahura Mazda and the evil spirit Angra Mainyu, and humans must choose which side they support. The religion influenced concepts in later faiths such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
World Religions: Zoroastrianism
Zoroastrianism is an ancient Persian religion founded by Zoroaster around 1500-1000 BC. It was one of the first monotheistic religions, believing in one supreme god Ahura Mazda. Zoroastrianism teaches an ethical and later cosmic dualism between good and evil forces. Followers worship through fire rituals and strive to follow the threefold path of good thoughts, words, and deeds to aid the eventual renewal of the world. Zoroastrian beliefs about heaven, hell, and judgment may have influenced later Abrahamic faiths in the region.

Zoroastrianism
Zoroastrianism was founded by Zarathushtra between 1500-1000 BCE in ancient Persia. It is one of the oldest existing religions and may have been the first monotheistic faith. Today there are fewer than 200,000 Zoroastrians globally who generally do not accept converts or proselytize, requiring one to be born into the religion. As a small minority group worldwide, interfaith marriage is discouraged which some believe contributes to the religion's declining population.

Parsis and their quest with preservation of their identity
This document discusses the cultural identity and assimilation of Parsis in India. The Parsis are descendants of Zoroastrians who migrated to India from Iran in the 8th century to escape religious persecution. While in India, the Parsis integrated into local culture by adopting the Gujarati language and other customs, but also preserved key aspects of their Zoroastrian religious identity and practices, such as maintaining separate fire temples. Over time, the Parsis evolved a distinct ethnic identity as a minority group in India, facing new challenges to their cultural survival in modern times due to declining population.

Shinto is an ancient Japanese religion that believes spiritual powers exist in nature. Shinto followers worship at shrines located in natural settings, which are marked by a torii archway. Within the shrine is an inner hall where the kami (spirits) are present. Worshipers purify themselves before entering and offer prayers and gifts to summon the kami. The most important kami are Amaterasu, the sun goddess and ancestor of the Japanese emperors, and Inari, the producer of rice, an important food in Japan. It is common for Japanese people to practice both Shintoism and Buddhism, as the beliefs are compatible and not contradictory.
paganism and witchcraft
Paganism and Witchcraft revered nature but were not organized religions. Wicca involved divination and discovering knowledge through supernatural means in a non-hierarchical society. Christianity grew and deemed Witchcraft as evil Satan worship, influencing societies to persecute Witches, especially women. The Malleus Maleficarum manual described interrogating and torturing accused Witches using tests and instruments to obtain confessions during the peak persecution periods between 1550-1650 before views gradually changed.

Their beauty was meant to be appreciated visually but remained aloof and indifferent to observers.
Paganism
Alyssa explains that she is drawn to paganism and nature-based belief systems because nature cannot be proven wrong and has an intrinsic existence unlike human-created systems. She feels a deep connection to nature that most people lose as they grow older and are distanced from the natural world by society. Pagans are often perceived negatively as "weirdo's" by society, but Alyssa views the pagan community as accepting and celebratory of nature. She believes assumptions that pagans are associated with evil are misinformed and that nature spirituality helps nourish the soul over time.
Jainism presentation
Jainism was founded by Mahavira in response to Hinduism and rejection of the caste system. Some key beliefs of Jainism include reincarnation until one breaks the karma cycle through asceticism, dualism of soul versus matter, and the five vows of nonviolence, truth, non-stealing, celibacy, and non-attachment. Jainism has two main sects, the White Clad monks of northern India who wear white clothes, and the Sky Clad nudist monks of southern India.
Sikhism
Sikhism originated in 15th century India and was founded by Guru Nanak. It is a monotheistic faith that believes in one eternal creator and truth beyond birth and death.

There are approximately 20.6 million Sikhs worldwide, most living in India, with significant populations in the UK as well.

Buddhism was founded in the 5th century BCE by Siddhartha Gautama and teaches the four noble truths and eightfold path to end suffering. Hinduism, one of the oldest religions, began over 3000 years ago and believes in an eternal dharma and monotheistic polytheism represented through deities like Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.

Hopfe ch10 ppt
Zoroastrianism originated in ancient Persia and was founded by Zoroaster. It was the world's first monotheistic faith, believing in one supreme god named Ahura Mazda. Zoroastrianism is a dualistic faith that sees the universe as an eternal battle between good and evil. Humans are responsible for choosing good over evil through their thoughts, words, and deeds. After death, souls are judged and sent to either heaven or hell based on their choices in life. Today, small Zoroastrian communities still exist in India but face threats of disappearing due to a low birth rate and restrictions on conversion.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

- 2. The Basics • Founder: Zoroaster or Zarathustra • Founded circa 600 BCE possibly earlier • Belief in one supreme god Ahura Mazda “Wise Lord” • “Ethics based” faith • Duality between good and evil
- 3. Geography! • Zoroastrianism originated from the city of Bactra in the Persian Empire
- 4. • Either follow the Truth (Ahura Mazda) or the Lie (Ahriman) Ahriman is the twin brother of Ahura Mazda • In death those who followed the Truth go to the house of good mind and happiness • but those who followed the Lie go to the house of the Lie.
- 5. After Life • Constant struggle between Ahura Mazda and Ahriman • Good Vs. Evil; At the end of time Ahura Mazda will have defeated Ahriman and all souls will be saved. Those who dwelled in the house of the Lie will be brought to the house of good mind and happiness
- 6. Worship • Fire still very important. • Messenger between the people and the Wise Lord • Zoroastrians worship fire
