Zooastrian has 2 gods right? If so, why is it ok for Zoarastrians to convert to Islam?

No not 2 Gods, and no there is no fire worshipping. Its the oldest monotheistic religion, the oldest religion mentioning 1 god only.

The other "God" is Satan, he has no temples et c only known as the one that corrupt people.
 
Yes all over ancient persia, there are those even in India that escaped the islamic invasion, it was convert or die.

http://www.the-south-asian.com/April2001/Parsis-the Zoroastrians of India.htm

Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things. [Qur'an 2:256]

So if that's true, it was an unislamic practise. :)
 
Wow, we have our very own zoroastrian here?

Start a "ask a zoroastrian" thread! :D I know pretty much nothing about your world view! I don't even know if you are mono or polytheistic or even theistic at all.
 
Sinbad, so Zorastrianism is older than Judaism as a monotheistic religion?

Yes, cause Zoroastrianism have much older text, My favourite is About Arash the archer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arash_(mythology)

Its about 8000 year old.

Many people that have left zoroastrianism claim that it was only a substitute for Jesus and Muhammed, that the Only God had it as a temporary religion the thousands of years bfore Jesus and Muhammed.

You may start a "ask an Zoroastrian thread", but im not sure if Im going to stay Zoroastrian, but still I know about it.

Sinbad, we've discussed it in one of your threads already - Islaam was the religion of ALL the true Prophets of God. So Islaam is the first religion ever among mankind.


Here's the post:

According yo you maybe but not 5 billion others.

Judaism isnt monotheistic at all. In ancient hebrew text there was several gods, still in old english bibles you can see, and elohim said, let us make man in our image.
Elohim means "the ones from the sky".

When Moses was in Egypt he challenged the egyptian Gods, he made hes staff into a serpent that ate the Egyptian priests gods serpents.

Judaism was never monotheistic untill latter days. Zoroastrianism was the first Monotheistic.

And im not sure in islam, Its a lot i dont agree with, like not givingt women equall witnessing right et c.
 
sinbad,
i have a couple of questions about zoroastrianism.
do zoroastrians claim to be The One and Only Truth, like islam and christianity do?
is it true that you are not allowed to proselytize?
is it true that you are not allowed to marry outside of your religion?
thanks!

No the contrary, its all about the comming prophets, thats why theres not many left. All the prophets place of birth and time have been predicted and was precise.

is it true that you are not allowed to proselytize?
is it true that you are not allowed to marry outside of your religion?


Both are untrue but exists among Indian Zoroastrians cause of a promise they made to a king. When the arabs invaded after a 7 year war with Turan and The Roman Empire Persia was very fragile.
There where persians that escaped them, and ended up in India. The King said you can stay IF you promise to never convert anyone or marry anyone outside of your religion. And they kept the promise untill this day.


Iranian zoroastrians dont get to convert cause of the goverment, but marrige with muslims is allowed.
Kurdish, Tajik, Uzbek and all other zoroastrians get to do both.
 
thanks, sinbad. yes, i was thinking of stuff i've read about indian zoroastrians and how the population is shrinking. impressive that they keep their promise even tho the king is long gone.
is there a whole lot of focus on the afterlife in zoroastrianism?
do you think zoroastrianism was a major influence on christianity?
 
Yes, Zoroastrianism is the basis of christianity. Even more so than Judaism.
Judaism was polytheistic in the early days. And it had no hell or limbo.

Zoroastrianism created the consept of heaven and hell and limbo.
Judaism took heaven from it, christianity adopted the consept of heaven or paradis, wich later became paradise.

Limbo was a part of early christianity, but protestants took it away. the catholic church has recently taken it away.

Zoroaster accepted converts, judaism didnt, the talmud even call gentiles for animals.

thanks for your replies.
as far as i know judaism was never polytheistic. it came to replace the polytheistic religions.
it is not true that judaism doesn't accept converts - in fact in the early years they actively sought converts.
they (the orthodox jews) try to discourage converts because they want to make sure that they are really sincere.
 
Eh..... you are thinking to leave Zoroastrianism?:?

You can say both, Many say zarthoshti. Zarhuastrian is also used.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elohim

Elohim later became "God", but means "the divine" plural.

You can read about Moses to, you will find out that he challenged the egyptians Gods, showing hes God was stronger.

http://www.sherryshriner.com/talmud_tidbits.htm
And that link is about gentiles in judaism. They never accepted gentiles untill later days.

Non-Jews are Not Human Baba Mezia 114a-114b. Only Jews are human ("Only ye are designated men")

Jews are Divine, Sanhedrin 58b. If a heathen (Gentile) hits a Jew, the Gentile must be killed. Hitting a Jew is the same as hitting God.

Does that sound like a monotheistic religion that accepts converts?
