Zoroastrians believe that there is no place like the battlefield of good and evil. Everyone has a responsibility to combat evil on both a spiritual as well as physical level. Zoroastrians believe God created man and is the creator all things. This is how they see themselves, as fellow workers in the battle.
Two types of time
In Zoroastrianism, time is divided into two types: daily and weekly. The former is the sacred time of day while the latter is the period reserved for the dead. Zoroastrians believe dead people have the ability to affect the living. These spirits can bring prosperity and fertility, as well as sickness and hardship. They offer special animal sacrifices and wine as offerings to these spirits.
One
Zoroastrianism refers to a religion that emphasizes one God. While many of its beliefs can be compared to Christianity, the idea of one God is not universal. The concept of one God was actually developed by the Hebrew people, more than a thousand years prior to the foundation of Zoroastrianism. The prophet Isaiah spoke of Christ's virgin Birth in 701 BC. This is a century earlier than Zoroastrianism.
Purity
Zoroastrianism believes that purity is an important concept. It refers a belief that Ahura Mazda has been created perfect and that we shouldn't defile it. This means that Zoroastrians avoid burial and cremation. They instead bury their bodies at the Tower of Silence where vultures consume them.
Goodness
Zoroastrianism holds the importance of goodness. Zarasthura, the founder of Zoroastrianism taught his followers to follow the threefold path. This path is an analogy to Christianity's "law in love," which teaches how important it is to seek God’s guidance and make wise choices. Zoroastrianism is more concerned with goodness than the purely good. Its doctrines can be found in many different religions, despite its similarities to Christianity.
