Zoroastrian Christianity

ZOROASTRIAN CHRISTIANITY

Zoroastrian Christians believe that Christianity needs radical reform to meet the needs of the current age. We need to return to the roots of Christianity which are found in Persia with the prophet Zarathustra and not in ancient Israel as is popularly believed.

Zoroastrian Christians recognise that there is much that is good in the existing tradition of European Christianity and we want to keep as much as possible of the wisdom and good practices that are found there.

Zoroastrian Christians value the scriptures of the Zoroastrian Mazdean religion known as the Avesta, along with many classical greek and hellenistic writings. This includes the Jesus scriptures found in the Jesuchristian New Testament and gnostic writings of the same era. However normally we don't consider the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament as part of our scripture.

ZARTOCHRESTIANISM

Zartochrestianism is a particular proposal for an orthodox form of Zoroastrian Christianity. It is still much subject to change. However at the present time Zartochrestians suggest two trinities to form the foundation of the religion:

CHALIPA CROSS
The Chalipa Cross in a circle is the symbol of Zartochrestianism

DEUS
God who is comprised of three persons -- the Holy Trinity.

DEUS PATER>
God the Father is also known as JUPITER SAPIENS and as ARAMAZDA
Jupiter is the Divine Father. Jupiter Sapiens or Jupiter the Wise is regarded as the same god as Aramazda (Ahuramazda) - the Wise Lord of the Persian Scripture.

DEUS FILIUS>
CHRESTUS
Chrestus is the 'Good One'. He is the Divine Son of Jupiter Sapiens. He is the agent of Jupiter in the world in human form. Chrestus is a universal power but can appear in many cultural forms - in fully divine form and as holy saints.

SPIRITUS SANCTUS>
SPENTAMANIA
Spentamania is the Holy Spirit - the life-loving and life-promoting spirit that can enter into a person and make them worthy co-workers of Chrestus and Jupiter.

ARCHANGEL MITHRAS

Saint Mithras is the Archangel - the divinely appointed ruler of the angels. He is the intermediary between God and Man, and fights against Satan.

THE FOUR MOST VENERATED HUMAN SAINTS

1. ZARTUS - also known as Zarathustra or Zoroaster
St.Zartus is the Philosopher Saint - the one who who has knowledge of the cosmos and can discern the best ethical world-view and give to us the best religion.

2. JESUS
St.Jesus is the Compassionate Saint - the one who sees our real human nature and needs and gives this the highest value regardless of human-manufactured regulations and understandings which contradict it.
Zartochrestians see Jesus' voluntary suffering on the cross as a sign of his compassion. We don't believe that the historic person of Jesus can be considered a scapegoat for all the sins of the world. Rather his action was a demonstration of how the eternal Chrestus takes on the burden of counteracting the sins of the fallible.

3. MARIA
St.Mary is the mother of Jesus, pure in heart and protector of the faithful.

4. GEORGIUS
Saint George is the Brave Saint. He is the one who will fight for the cause of good and right and never desert it whether he has the strength to prevail, or is overcome and put to a torturous death.
