Bible Quote by Peter B. Lockhart
““So there is only one way for sacred Zoroastrian words, which are words only ever used by Zoroastrians in prayer and worship, to get into the Bible, and are even spoken by Jesus himself, (according to the story) as he was dying on the cross. And here is the Kryptonite – the Zoroastrians put those words there. There is no other way.””
