“Zoroastrianism”

Monday, June 03, 2013

I am being told by a professor that parts of Christianity are borrowed from Zoroastrian ideas.  I don't personally find this to be true.  Now he is asking me this question: why is it hard to believe another religion helped to shape biblical tradition?  Can you please help me to provide a clear answer?  The answer that the Bible is the infallible Word of God just won't do for him.

Sincerely,

Dear Proof Texter,

The exact opposite of what your teacher said is true – the Bible has shaped other world religions.  Tell your teacher that the Bible has evidence that it was divinely written.  No other religion has proof that it is from God, only the Bible.  The Bible specifically says that there is only one way to God (Jhn 14:6).  The Bible claims exclusivity and divine origin.  We recommend you print off and present your teacher with a copy of our post “Who Wrote The Bible?”; that post is chock-full of evidence that God wrote the Bible.  If the Bible is divinely written, then it is crafted by God – not crafted by man’s religions.
