Holy Bible. | will not take any
human mans theory and more
especially will | not quote any in
fidel or atheist authority; nor the
PHILOSOPHY of Egyptian sooth-
savers.
Now my bible says in Genesis
LIST chapter and 1st verse, that in
the beginning God" created the
heaven and earth; End verse, and
the earth was without form and
void, and darkness was upon the
face of the deep and the spirit Of
God moved upon the face of the
waters. Now | want to stop right
here and ask Jim Snodgrass if
either he or mis- satanic majesty
(Zoroastors) can give a clear de-
finition as scriptural proof to the
people that read his article in the
Picayune of April 9th, 1910,
when that beginning was, and
wnen it commenced. Now. he
says that God came from Team
an and the Holy One from Mount
Paron. He charges that quota
ton to the Jews, ana bis reply
to that quotation was that the
Jews don't know any more about
the bible than he does. | will
agree with him in that particular.
For his own edifcation and in
struction he says he asked Jake
Suckle how old this world was;
and | expect that Jake knew as
much about the Christian bible
as SDodgrass did. Again. he cites
that word, in the beginning, "
the eternal, or absolute, being,
(Zerrana Akerana). My, my
what a name for such a being as
could create a God of light and a
God of darkness.
Now, jim, please tell the peo-
pie If your profane history can
give such information where this
great manufacturer of god S
sprang from, and how he became
SO powerful?
Now he goes on and contradicts
his former statement in saying
after giving God and Satan sew
eral thousand years each, fight
ing each other, | suppose for su-
premacy. God then produced
the ''Fravashi, now beginning
the work of the creation. Don't
it look singular that this great
original God of his didn't COM
mence the work of creation in
stead of giving the work into the
hands Of another god that this
Zerrana- Akarana' had created.
1t seems to my mind that if he
was so all powerful he could have
spoke this world into existence
Just like our God did do. He ac-
knoWledges that world existed
which he claims was a spiritual
or invisible world.
Now | wonder if Zoroastor gave
him this information,
Listen again to this: he saws
that this spiritual world and this
material world was an incorpora-
ton of the spiritual world of Fra
vashi's. Can he find any such
testimony in the Holy Bible ?
No.
Now my bible tells me that
God is a spirit; that He is omni-
present, omnicient, and that He
is God, and that beside Him there
is none other.
My bible tells me that our God
created everything that was Gre
ated.
But Jim's bible tells him that
Z0roastor created not only every
thing, but even made our God.
and farther he says that our God
established his abode on the su ~
nit of the lofty mountain Albary
the modern Elburg. Now turn
to Revelations, 1st CHAPTER and
9Th verse, which says Il am AL
pha and Omega, the beginning
and the ending, saith the Lord,
which was, and which is to come,
the Almighty.
Now then, where did Jim's
God spring from. Jesus told John
the Divine. Revelations lst and
18th, that He had the keys of hell
and of death. | wonder if Zorro
aston gave them to him. Let us
see what John says he saw in
that wonderful vision. He saws
he saw the throne of God in hea-
ven with innumerable hosts sur
rounding the throne. Now where
IS Jlm's mountain; And in the
18th verse of the 4th chapter.
even John says For thou hast
created all things and for thy
nln1 4 how o,.o n,ol
