Zoroaster was thus the first to teach the doctrines of an individual judgment, Heaven and Hell...

Nothing like starting out with a huge lie. Judaism has Zoro beat by a couple of thousand years there, bud.

And it was from Zoroastrianism that Rome picked up one of the minor deities, Mithra, the sun god, whom Emperor Constantine worshipped. I've read more about the Roman Mithraism than about Zoroastrinism however.

Gen 3:1
1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
This is the oldest trick in Satans book (hath God said.) Satan will take a truth and add a little twisted lie just enough to bring doubt into the mind. Zoroasterism is just that a lttle lie to bring doubt into the mind. The truth is Christ crucifed our hope of glory. Not an asteroide hitting the earth and burning it up. The earth will be burnt up but it will be by the brightness of His Glory! BEHOLD THE LAMB SLAIN FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD!
REV 13:8
