What is Zoroastrianism?
Does it have any truth? Is it compatible with the Bible?

In it's roots, the mythology of zoroastrianism holds the supremacy of wisdom over dualistic concepts. Without keeping in the forefront of your mind the idea of Divine simplicity, even this will keep from reconciling it with Christianity

Zoroastrianism like many ancient religions are corrupted forms of divine revelation. It still describes the rebellion in heaven despite the different names.

The rebellion in heaven has no scriptural basis before revelation, which has yet to happen

I was referring to when Satan and his demons fought against God before being cast out, not the event described in revelation.

I wouldn't go as far as to say Zoroaster was a prophet or inspired but I certainly think he had an intuition about the divine like Socrates and Plato. Zoroaster and Zoroastrianism is worth examining. I mean, Zoroastrians came to an understanding about a universal resurrection of the dead, a final judgment, and a messianic figure independently. So I definitely think there was some kind of intuition there like what St. Paul talks about in Romans 1. Cyrus the Great was a Zoroastrian and God sent him to help free the captives of Babylon. Also the Magi that visited Jesus were Zoroastrian priests. They didn't get everything right like their ideas aboit dualism seem to be a misunderstanding of the relationship between good and evil and God and Satan which is why I don't think there was full on prophetic inspiration but rather just keen intuition that God granted them. I highly respect the Zoroastrian tradition and Zoroaster himself. Justin Martyr says Plato was a Christian before Christ, perhaps Zoroaster was too. :)

Justin is wrong. The faith that saves pre Christ is the faith that Abraham had.
