me Origin 81 Futurs Punishment

A correspondent of the Toledo Bad,
answers the question, When, where
and By whom the theory Of an eternal
spiritual life, either Of happiness OF
misery, received its origin" Moses
received his religious theories from
the ancient Egyptians, and therefore
knew nothing of future state of ex-
istence. About two hundred years al
ter Moses, Zoroaster invented heav-
en-, hell, and future state. The
Jews had learned the theory at the
time of their captivity in Babylon, and
when released and sent back to Jeru-
salem by King Cyrus of Persia, they
carried the idea Of future state of
reward and punishment with them,
and that part of the religion of
ZOroastes was engrafted on and has
become part Of the Christian reIig-
iona part Of the Jews accepting the
theory, and part standing by Moses
and his belief, denying a resurrection
and future state, thus making a d.
vision among the Jews-the Sadducees
md Pharisees. This continues with \
iomc variations and notifications to u
he present fine.
